TLDR: - I have been tempted to quit making content... like A LOT. - Platforms are predatory to Creators and Consumers. - We are part of a societal system that makes people strive for fame and believe they're nothing without it. - I am not quitting content creation because it's more important that I call out corpos for being evil even if my videos are heavily suppressed.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth From the 1773 Rothschild 25 Point Plan 2. Preach “Liberalism” to usurp political power. 3. Initiate class warfare. 5. Dismantle “existing forces of order and regulation.” Reconstruct all existing institutions.” 6. Remain invisible until the very moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning or force can undermine it. 7. *Use Mob Psychology to control the masses.* “Without absolute despotism one cannot rule efficiently.” 8. *Advocate the use of alcoholic liquors, drugs, moral corruption and all forms of vice, used systematically by “agenteurs” to corrupt the youth.* 11. Choose candidates for public office who will be “servile and obedient to our commands, so they may be readily used as pawns in our game.” 12. *Use the Press for propaganda to control all outlets of public information,* while remaining in the shadows, clear of blame. 13. *Make the masses believe they had been the prey of criminals.* Then restore order to appear as the saviors. ---Clearly you have fallen for this one.

Unfortunately, that's more true than it had any right to be. Especially because integrity to social media's advertisers is like kryptonite to Superman and garlic to a vampire combined.
Hoping you dont quit, I enjoy hearing your point of view as you apply logic and reason with the arguments you present, rather than the emotive clickbait bullshit that infests every platform.
Logic and reason don't sway as much as you think, people just apply those to first principles and those only tend to change via drastic life events. You can't reason someone out of a position they got to emotionally.
This video displays why your important to many . A laid out, Explained well , positive direction expose. I appreciate your thought process and would enjoy continuing with watching you.
It truly is baffling that we live in an age where a real life fake wizard talks more sense in his videos made in his spare time than many journalists, politicians or similar do on their full time job. Mate - you're a really good example that quality of the content is no factor for the algorithm. I am truly thankful that you go with quality over attention-grabbing content with every upload you do. Cheers!
@@RealLifeFakeWizard You're the realest, Real Life Fake Wizard, keep fighting the good fight. You're a bastion of truth my dude, in a sea of lies. Thank you, brother.
I am so glad you are not quitting. I stumbled randomly on your channel, and I really appreciate your point of view on the current situation (in gaming, movie industry, etc.) and your calling out of the evil of corporations and affiliated. Keep up the good work!
Dude fuck the algorithm - videos like this are why we NEED you here. Nobody else with a real following is saying this stuff man. Fact is your commentary the last few months has been living rent free in my brain and it has gotten me to examine my own life and what I really value. I think we all need these reminders of what is really going on behind the scenes in our media, culture and society. If being a creator here is actually impacting your life in a negative way and taking a toll on your mind and health, then okay you shouldn't stay just for fame and ad dollars. But I suspect not given what you've told us about yourself. If you're just feeling self doubt about what you're doing here?? I assure you you're having a real impact and your voice needs to be heard. Trust in that brother man
We really hope you don't quit !!! You are a respectfull content creator who share valid facts- and opinions of the broken entertainment industry 💫 Your image is also well made, and fits so well your persona presented.👍 Please don't quit. 🙏
There's more to life then social media and TH-cam. I've learned to put down my phone and pick up a book. A real book. Much respect for what you do. I love your channel and the knowledge you share. I hope if you decide to leave you at least do a podcast. Fake Wizard. Real facts. 👍❤️💯
I've had this floating idea for an interview podcast called "Fake Wizard's Real Life" but I'm not at a position to take that seriously yet. If I did it, I'd want to go full force ahead with it.
What do you consider a real book? Last year I read the eternal champion cycle series, and all of the animorph books. I also picked up Lego as a hobby. I kinda feel like most people problems come from doing essentially nothing.
@@Toiletlord I stopped reading fiction. I only read non-fiction now and most of that is just business books. Not fun! But! You learn a lot. And then it’s helps with taking action.
@ my life is sorta on auto pilot. I own a paid off home, maxed my Roth IRA every year since I turned 18. Have no debt. I also stopped being fat and weigh half as much as I did 10 years ago.
I’m glad you are going to keep at it. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels since I stumbled on one of your posts on Instagram. And thanks for the heads up on what content creation is like. I’m planning on posting my first video on a different account before the end of the month, so the warning is much appreciated.
Thanks wizard, it is really good to see actual opinions and healthy discussions on the internet, and your approach to focusing on what we can do instead of just raging is really refreshing.
This past week has been murder on my mental health for various reasons, not the least of which is the the state of the world. That is why I am so thankful for you and for this video. You give me hope. You remind me that there are still good people in this world who want to make things better. So thank you, RealLifeFakeWizard. Truly and sincerely, thank you. For the videos, and for being yourself.
That's what I hate about the new Internet. The old internet was for weirdos, nerds, geeks and most of life was still irl. Now everything we do is online and has some form of robotic control filtering things. Whether it's an ATS filtering job applications for a business. Ai talking to us at drive through and customer service. Or worse, the algorithm tweaks that dating apps use to lower your self esteem and make you purchase. The non real world has never felt so...fake
Let me echo other commenters and say, *please don't leave.* Your voice is a sincere and painfully sobering hangover that cuts through the corporate noise of "everything is content, everything is product," reminding us that what we engage with, what we purchase and promote, have cumulative consequences that impact everyone-basically reminding all of us of the importance of making responsible choices towards whatever it is we choose to consume.
This is why I can’t promise YT as my main career. This website and other social media have only been my outlet to share my thoughts with others, the minute that it becomes a dependency for the creator and the audience, morals will be broken, narcissism is promoted, and the cycle of celebrated-creator to LoLCow goes on and on and on unless a creator knows when to make this strictly a hobby or quit.
I totally understand your frustration, Wizard. Seeing everything turn hollow is tough. However, you aiming your lens at this mess yields truly valuable output, and I for one thank you for doing it. Put out content at your own pace and we'll keep supporting it. 👍
as a youtube consumer I can only say: F the greedy system, use an adblock as a youtube creator for over a decade now I can only say: F the greedy system, detach yourself from subscriber numbers and the amount of likes on your videos and just "do your own thing", just do it for fun, take your expectations of "Fame" and throw them away...youtubes slogan once was "broadcast yourself" time to bring it back
'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' There is no situation whatever the best of something cannot be not discovered. Let love and faithfulness never leave you!
7:30 😂😂😂 Wizard, if you have to back away, I respect that. Your voice is a unique one on this platform. One of the few voices screaming about how the TH-cam emperor has no clothes. Rather than riding the algorithm, you are one of a few that beat it back with your voice of reason. I hope you stay man, but if you choose to leave I fully understand. I gave up a decade plus job with an advertising agency in Chicago. You have to do what is best for you, rather than chase the money. Again, you have my respect either way. Good luck in whatever path you take.
"I know PAINFULLY, exactly who I am" - some wise wizard hit me really hard. Your level of self awareness is a goal to achieve. I'm a new follower, despite that, you have a tremendously positive impact on the community. Always remember that.
I stumbled upon this channel about a month ago and it has been an eye opening experience watching your content. You have a message being shared that is at once important, relevant, and above all else, WELL ARTICULATED. I hope to see you continue onwards despite TH-cam's algorithm trying to drag you down. I'm going on my own content creation journey and have been on and off for the past 8 years. I've learned a lot throughout that time and am still continuing to learn as I push through my own boundaries and obstacles. The journey so far is one I would not trade for anything. Much love to you Wizard.
This is the most common sense and realistic take on this whole platform. The harsh reality of this being another social media platform that is trying to influence behavior is hard to accept. You may or may not have made one of the most important warning videos that anyone watching here should see. I’m tired of everything on here as well. Everyone misses the point anyway. Ironically, when you actually live life by an empathetic but just standard, try to do everything you dream of, and you actually truly suffer for the knowledge you seek, one realizes that a lot of content on here is superficial. 90% of people on here seem like they genuinely don’t have a single leg to stand on, and want to to talk on stuff they have no business on or bring down others. I’m no saint do not get me wrong for whoever reads this. You hit everything on the spot Mr Wizard. Even the commentary on the west and most of life in general. The targeted ads after I have conversations in real life are very irritating to me. Regardless of all, you have been an inspiration. Have a good life yourself sir, and dear viewer.
TH-cam Gandalf don't quit TH-cam this is a really interesting peak of your content, who else is offering this quite valid viewpoint of the content creation and its evolution, degradation and possible later salvation, no one solved a problem by walking away from it, in the short term things are bad but in the longterm we're all dead anyway, grab what you can
I just found your channel a few days ago, but I say don't quit, you actually encapsulated many of the issues I've been having with our modern society, and it's looking like social media has so much to do with that. If nothing else, there needs to be a voice of sanity in all this madness.
Man, I'm so glad you chose to keep going. I only found your channel a few months ago and you're absolutely right ...there aren't many channels like this. You are far more objective and balanced than most. It's depressingly hard to find ones that aren't too far right or left, AND are willing to call out the reality of the situation. As you say, everyone's afraid of losing corporate sponsors etc. I absolutely empathise with you ...being a content creator seems like it can be soul crushing, but we need people like yourself. Big time. Otherwise everyone's swept away in a sea of bullsh*t. If you do quit, I understand, but I'm glad that isn't happening yet
I hope you don't quit. I love your videos because your criticisms are so relatable. While I don't think it's always intentional you have made me laugh and I always look forward to seeing a new video when I'm done with work after a long day. I will whip something quick to eat like a frozen pizza out of the oven watch you from my tv. Your video on men playing video games is unattractive hit me hard. That was the video that made me subscribe. I hope to see more of your videos in the future but I want you to do what makes you happy. Thank you Wizard. May the Force be with you always. :)
Hahahahaha just comenting as I watch the video! hope you do stay Wizard! My GF says your content is really wholesome! And that there aren't much channels like yours! You should keep it up! Hope you make it through!
My experience of this platform post 2012 has just been: Getting smacked in the face progressively harder, meanwhile a headache inducing stench becomes more pungent.
I don't agree with some of your opinions, especially about Zack Snyder's movies, but I appreciate what you're trying to tell us and several of your videos have had a great impact on my way of seeing entertainment in this day and age. So thank you for your work and as long as your channel exists, I will be one of your subscribers.
Bro I'm envious of people who love Zack Snyder films. I used to be on that train. I used to be a Snyder apologist. I was a die hard Man of Steel and BvS fan. And I how troubled the history was with everything. I just... gahhhh... Rebel Moon was so bad. soooo bad bro. And I tried so hard to love it. I wanted to be the guy saying it was amazing. And I just can't XD
@@RealLifeFakeWizard You're right. Snyder's only good movies are dawn Of The Dead and Watchmen. And one of them is a remake and the other is a movie adaption of a much better graphic novel. Tells you everything about that guy. And in case of Dawn Of The Dead it's additionally funny that the original trilogy (Land Of The Dead and the later ones don't count) are the only good movies from Romero. So, Snyder has a lot in common with him.
I avoided content creation for some time because I looked at the numbers. I saw how the algorithm- and the viewers- encourage negativity, I saw what it did to good creators and I didn’t want that to become me. I started creating because the companies I did the majority of my work for got into financial trouble and cancelled all my contracts at a time of year where I couldn’t pick up more writing gifs. I needed something to occupy my time until I could get back to work so that I could maintain a schedule. I enjoy it, I’m glad a few people enjoy my niche loves, but I don’t want to do negative videos and I actively don’t want to go “viral.”
Well put. "Content creators" are discovering what performers in the entertainment industry have known for decades; celebrity is not a position of happiness and power, but of desperation and exploitation.
My gosh, this has to be one of your best videos yet. Nail on the head about onlyfans wasting so much potential for women who genuinely have skills and talent to better the world but wasted on a sex addicted society. And this is why we need people like you on here, one of the few voices of reason. I love your videos so much, and while i totally understand the desire to call it quits, that'd be one more reason for me to stop watching youtube as well because you're one of the few things i do watch :(
Sounds like a gambling addiction on the apps, they give you that couple of big wins when you first sign up and give you that big dopeamine rush to keep you coming back and spending more money than you won. My sister is the perfect example of this 100% addicted to gambling she spends thousands (edit), dont quit your content is top tier always get a laugh and sometimes learn something keep it going wizard.
Loved that ending 😂 Keep doing your thing man. We share the sentiment which is why we're always here. And If you do ever want to leave, we also get it wizard, the message will always be in our hearts. Create more of what you want to see. AND CANCEL DISNEY PLUS
I totally understand your reasoning and perspective. I’ve been creating content for years, and I’ve been starting to wonder what the point is. As a side note, I’ve been putting more effort into creating and maintaining open source alternatives to X and Discord. No more algorithms or corporate BS. I sincerely want to return to just playing games for fun, and stop chasing the fever dream that is internet fame.
I once explained YT to a buddy as the 1800s industrial revolution.. You work at the company factory, you live in the company housing, you shop at the company store.... If you neglect any one of those things.. You are out on your ass.... YT is similar to Amyway.. Gives you the elusion of being your own entity but if you don't make the material they want at the length they want and aren't prepared to become a mini TV studio.. You're out in the street.. Oh and by the way YT will still continue to advertise on your content regardless of whether you meet monetary requirements or not.. YT is best engaged as a side gig.. Keep the day job and create for the passion / enjoyment. Personally I enjoy the editing.. ( I suck at it but I enjoy it and learning the software.. ;) I hope you can continue as I truly enjoy what you have to say.
I hope you're doing okay, Wiz. I value you and what you put out, the world does need more people like you. I really do appreciate what you've done, and continue to do! Keep up the good messages, and great work. 👍
Phew, im glad you're still here ❤. But do take care. I follow a lot of people who post quite rarely but independantly. I would also agree that you do a lot of engaging rants, but are not just negative, or i'd quit. I find you quite life afirming. TH-cam is problematic, but the ticktok stuff is lost on me, that has always just looked awefull to me. And for kids. Also, its a realy tough time to be american, which i am not. Things are still bleak though. Cancel Disney!
It feels so much less isolating in this world knowing that there are like-minded individuals like you out here too. I hope things work out for the betterment of regular joes and janes like us soon. I'm beyond ready to grab a torch and pitchfork, I'm sick of this system and culture we are creating (or are letting be created).
I stumbled on your channel a few months ago and subbed because of you having integrity with smart, based takes. I can imagine the algorithm stresses alot of creators even real life fake wizards with that said just continue being real and I will watch to support you Mr wizard.
I randomly found your channel and only clicked because i seen the cheap hat and beard and thought it was humorous. Didn't expect to hear well thought out ideas or opinions about current day and media for the most part I've been in agreement with you and enjoy your content. Glad your staying just don't let it get you down.
Real Life Fake Wizard is more of a Wizard than most of these people are Content Creators. Keep your ideals true to yourself and you'll go far, especially with the current cultural shift in the media landscape. We need more people like you to clean the poisoned well.
Boy, it’s a good thing I’m useless and lazy at the same time. Any thought of starting a TH-cam channel that I ever have is fleeting at the thought of the amount of effort it actually takes to make something good. In all seriousness, though, I enjoy the knowledge that I am good at the things. I am good at and I don’t advertise it to other people. There’s a quiet dignity in it.
For what it's worth - I've very much enjoyed your content and your point of view on current events in the gaming sphere. Totally understand the sentiment and agree with what things have become. It's sad that the world we live in is so predatory when we have the exclusive power to change it. Thanks for your videos; hopefully you get through to more people.
Especially when these people can't interact to save their lives. They forget what it means to be human, and having an empathetic outlook makes a difference.
Love your takes. It's so true how many creators get hooked on the fame and sell out. Glad to hear you aren't quitting. You really are one of the few authentic creators out there. Keep it up.
Nah I try to make a difference on a daily and I talk to a lot of people but I always stay up on current events, like this channel. One of my few favorites
Dude you seem like a good guy, and an intelligent person. I enjoy watching your videos whenever I can. You have become my instant watch whenever I see you upload. I can understand if you do end up changing your mind one day and quitting. This shit seems like it messes with your mind the more time you’re inside of it.
As a purveyor of truth I hope you don’t quit, you are a voice of reason and truth in a world of insanity and misinformation, I and many others will miss you and the world will fall deeper into the inferno
Hello Mr Wizard. Mastodon sent me here. I am one of those consumers who waste a fair amount of time in these spaces. You really break down the dark underpinnings of this world we’ve created. I’m going to be thinking about this 🙏
Hey man. I really like your channel a lot and people appreciate your honesty and your calm and logical and intelligent break downs of whatever you choose to talk about. I appreciate you telling us what it actually feels like and consists of.
I am here for you. Whatever you wanna produce. I enjoy your enlightened thoughts on the industy. But I subscribed because of your personality and your You-ness. Do whatever you enjoy.
You got yourself a sub after that 2nd half of the video. This is so true. "Its just a piece of metal". quote reminds me of "Its just an empty cup." from Cars Movie.
Hey I have been watching your content for months now and I really love it. It feels like a breath of fresh air that reminds me that I'm not crazy and that I'm capable of taking control of my own life even in this dystopian world. Thank you from another place in the globe 🌍
I've been on youtube for almost 15 years. I'm an old fart, subscribed to a lot of creators. You're the only one I real watch for all their content. I saw all the videos. For all their lengths. For what it's worth.
While I obviously don’t personally understand I know it can be hard but I appreciate that you still keep going and I enjoy your videos a lot. Who else is strong enough to cancel Disney plus subscriptions if not the real life fake wizard?
I really think i did grow more aware of today's issues due to these videos. I always appreciate it when you finish a video of with some positivity. Some advice of what i can do as a consumer to fight the issue. If you ever decide to leave i want you to know that you left a possitive imprint on my life. But i can only respect your decision.
Man, I got so many opinion to say that I wouldnt be able to write it all down or even make it coherent. Good video though with good points. Its sad to see that so many people think fame is the end all be all of society. I grew up poor and troubled as a kid and now I live a comfortable life style and am much more successful than a lot of my friends but I never post about it or tell my friends about it because the only purpose would be to inflate my ego. There are a lot of paths to success and the social media path is a trap, always look for the path less traveled and you find a lot more success than your friends that are chasing an influencer life style that are competing with all the other ipad kids that can't see anything past the horizon. If kids dont want to be astronauts or scientists or archeologists anymore than those paths are prime for the taking and if you find you still want to be a content creator after that you will be far more interesting and far more useful to the world than just another guy who does reaction content or gym influencer or what ever other dime a dozen influencers are out there.
damn sorry to here that. You are one of the only creaters that i watch every single video when it comes out. i really love your takes. it still amazes me your channel is so small. i only found you 6 months ago but i am hooked.
Well, i think my next video will be something detailing "why we should cancel Disney Plus," but there's still a lot of research ahead. So, you can look forward to that. According to the analytics, by all measures, my videos should be getting a lot more views, but TH-cam is cutting them off from people outside of my subscribers. So, that's why we're moving so slowly.
Those feigning relevance, a flash in the pan, who will someday tell you how "they could've made state, not a doubt in their minds." Juxtaposed with those casting pearls before swine (or nobody), offering something of real value who society and the algorithm disregard. Don't give up. And thank you. Always enjoy the clarion call of "cancel Disney Plus."
I will keep this video in the "watch later" section because I want to listen to this brilliant analysis for weeks like a mantra, even if it's a kind of oxymoron, since I do this in a "social" platform like youtube.
Just start making a couple AI voiced videos a week. The algorithim seems to love that right now. Good luck Wizard keep it up. I liked your cheery sign off. Maybe Disney lobbied had you shadow banned haha
TLDR:
- I have been tempted to quit making content... like A LOT.
- Platforms are predatory to Creators and Consumers.
- We are part of a societal system that makes people strive for fame and believe they're nothing without it.
- I am not quitting content creation because it's more important that I call out corpos for being evil even if my videos are heavily suppressed.
WATCH TO THE END!!
Amen
Good, because your opinions are legit.
Thank you for the amazing videos and time you put into them! You are a breath of fresh air on TH-cam and I'm glad you are staying~
My guy, you have depression issues. Seek help on that.

I am so glad you are not quitting. I stumbled randomly on your channel, and I really appreciate your point of view on the current situation (in gaming, movie industry, etc.) and your calling out of the evil of corporations and affiliated.
Keep up the good work!
Same
If you don’t have the extra time and energy- don’t do it. However you’re really good at intelligently ripping on stuff.
Dude fuck the algorithm - videos like this are why we NEED you here. Nobody else with a real following is saying this stuff man. Fact is your commentary the last few months has been living rent free in my brain and it has gotten me to examine my own life and what I really value. I think we all need these reminders of what is really going on behind the scenes in our media, culture and society.
If being a creator here is actually impacting your life in a negative way and taking a toll on your mind and health, then okay you shouldn't stay just for fame and ad dollars. But I suspect not given what you've told us about yourself. If you're just feeling self doubt about what you're doing here?? I assure you you're having a real impact and your voice needs to be heard. Trust in that brother man
:V No Wizard don't quit! You're too cool man! And well if you do! Was lots of fun wathching your videos! And hope only the best for you!
Watch to the end 😉
This needs wizards more than ever.
Just remember kids, if you stare long enough into the Abyss, the Abyss is sponsored by RAAAAAIDDDDD SHAAADDOOWW LEGEEENNDDSSS.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOT AGAAAAAIN!!!! **rips hair out**
We really hope you don't quit !!! You are a respectfull content creator who share valid facts- and opinions of the broken entertainment industry 💫
Your image is also well made, and fits so well your persona presented.👍
Please don't quit. 🙏
Not today, Wario. Someday, but not today.
@@RealLifeFakeWizard Great to hear Wizard 🙂 you are needed!
There's more to life then social media and TH-cam. I've learned to put down my phone and pick up a book. A real book. Much respect for what you do. I love your channel and the knowledge you share. I hope if you decide to leave you at least do a podcast. Fake Wizard. Real facts. 👍❤️💯
I've had this floating idea for an interview podcast called "Fake Wizard's Real Life" but I'm not at a position to take that seriously yet. If I did it, I'd want to go full force ahead with it.
Cool! I'll be tuning in if you do.🙂
What do you consider a real book? Last year I read the eternal champion cycle series, and all of the animorph books. I also picked up Lego as a hobby.
I kinda feel like most people problems come from doing essentially nothing.
@@Toiletlord I stopped reading fiction. I only read non-fiction now and most of that is just business books. Not fun! But! You learn a lot. And then it’s helps with taking action.
@ my life is sorta on auto pilot. I own a paid off home, maxed my Roth IRA every year since I turned 18. Have no debt. I also stopped being fat and weigh half as much as I did 10 years ago.
I’m glad you are going to keep at it. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels since I stumbled on one of your posts on Instagram. And thanks for the heads up on what content creation is like. I’m planning on posting my first video on a different account before the end of the month, so the warning is much appreciated.
THIS is why I love your content. Brutally honest, nothing held back, and yet somehow positive a reaffirming.
You’re one of the very few creators that puts out quality with every single video. You are appreciated. We will stare into the abyss with you!
Thanks wizard, it is really good to see actual opinions and healthy discussions on the internet, and your approach to focusing on what we can do instead of just raging is really refreshing.
This past week has been murder on my mental health for various reasons, not the least of which is the the state of the world.
That is why I am so thankful for you and for this video. You give me hope. You remind me that there are still good people in this world who want to make things better.
So thank you, RealLifeFakeWizard. Truly and sincerely, thank you. For the videos, and for being yourself.
you may be a dollar store wizard, but you're _our_ dollar store wizard
That's what I hate about the new Internet. The old internet was for weirdos, nerds, geeks and most of life was still irl. Now everything we do is online and has some form of robotic control filtering things. Whether it's an ATS filtering job applications for a business. Ai talking to us at drive through and customer service. Or worse, the algorithm tweaks that dating apps use to lower your self esteem and make you purchase. The non real world has never felt so...fake
Let me echo other commenters and say, *please don't leave.*
Your voice is a sincere and painfully sobering hangover that cuts through the corporate noise of "everything is content, everything is product," reminding us that what we engage with, what we purchase and promote, have cumulative consequences that impact everyone-basically reminding all of us of the importance of making responsible choices towards whatever it is we choose to consume.
Adding a comment to boost engagement.
Don’t quit - keep going.
This is why I can’t promise YT as my main career. This website and other social media have only been my outlet to share my thoughts with others, the minute that it becomes a dependency for the creator and the audience, morals will be broken, narcissism is promoted, and the cycle of celebrated-creator to LoLCow goes on and on and on unless a creator knows when to make this strictly a hobby or quit.
Your "I'm quit" video literally made me sub for the channel 😅
Same here! There's still decent content creators out there; we just have to surf through all the BS first.
Same here. The 2nd half of the video sold me completely.
Its 106% the truth where most are seemingly completely unaware or oblivious to.
I totally understand your frustration, Wizard. Seeing everything turn hollow is tough. However, you aiming your lens at this mess yields truly valuable output, and I for one thank you for doing it. Put out content at your own pace and we'll keep supporting it. 👍
as a youtube consumer I can only say: F the greedy system, use an adblock
as a youtube creator for over a decade now I can only say: F the greedy system, detach yourself from subscriber numbers and the amount of likes on your videos and just "do your own thing", just do it for fun, take your expectations of "Fame" and throw them away...youtubes slogan once was "broadcast yourself" time to bring it back
Right on! We need to rally and give TH-cam what for. Make them realize that they are only for fun and not for fame.
'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.'
There is no situation whatever the best of something cannot be not discovered.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you!
7:30 😂😂😂
Wizard, if you have to back away, I respect that. Your voice is a unique one on this platform. One of the few voices screaming about how the TH-cam emperor has no clothes. Rather than riding the algorithm, you are one of a few that beat it back with your voice of reason.
I hope you stay man, but if you choose to leave I fully understand. I gave up a decade plus job with an advertising agency in Chicago. You have to do what is best for you, rather than chase the money. Again, you have my respect either way. Good luck in whatever path you take.
I won't be leaving.
Not today, anyway.
"I know PAINFULLY, exactly who I am" - some wise wizard
hit me really hard. Your level of self awareness is a goal to achieve. I'm a new follower, despite that, you have a tremendously positive impact on the community. Always remember that.
I stumbled upon this channel about a month ago and it has been an eye opening experience watching your content. You have a message being shared that is at once important, relevant, and above all else, WELL ARTICULATED. I hope to see you continue onwards despite TH-cam's algorithm trying to drag you down. I'm going on my own content creation journey and have been on and off for the past 8 years. I've learned a lot throughout that time and am still continuing to learn as I push through my own boundaries and obstacles. The journey so far is one I would not trade for anything. Much love to you Wizard.
This is the most common sense and realistic take on this whole platform. The harsh reality of this being another social media platform that is trying to influence behavior is hard to accept. You may or may not have made one of the most important warning videos that anyone watching here should see. I’m tired of everything on here as well. Everyone misses the point anyway. Ironically, when you actually live life by an empathetic but just standard, try to do everything you dream of, and you actually truly suffer for the knowledge you seek, one realizes that a lot of content on here is superficial. 90% of people on here seem like they genuinely don’t have a single leg to stand on, and want to to talk on stuff they have no business on or bring down others. I’m no saint do not get me wrong for whoever reads this. You hit everything on the spot Mr Wizard. Even the commentary on the west and most of life in general. The targeted ads after I have conversations in real life are very irritating to me. Regardless of all, you have been an inspiration. Have a good life yourself sir, and dear viewer.
Really hoping you're gonna power through bud. I've seen more and more content creators saying this model isn't sustainable. Hope YT takes note.
YT doesn't care about creators.
I'm not going anywhere. Not for today, at least.
TH-cam Gandalf don't quit TH-cam this is a really interesting peak of your content, who else is offering this quite valid viewpoint of the content creation and its evolution, degradation and possible later salvation, no one solved a problem by walking away from it, in the short term things are bad but in the longterm we're all dead anyway, grab what you can
watch to the end.
You’re succinctly explaining what most of your subscribers already knew/suspected. Keep at it, buddy. We need voices like yours on here. 👍👍
I just found your channel a few days ago, but I say don't quit, you actually encapsulated many of the issues I've been having with our modern society, and it's looking like social media has so much to do with that. If nothing else, there needs to be a voice of sanity in all this madness.
Man, I'm so glad you chose to keep going. I only found your channel a few months ago and you're absolutely right ...there aren't many channels like this. You are far more objective and balanced than most. It's depressingly hard to find ones that aren't too far right or left, AND are willing to call out the reality of the situation. As you say, everyone's afraid of losing corporate sponsors etc. I absolutely empathise with you ...being a content creator seems like it can be soul crushing, but we need people like yourself. Big time. Otherwise everyone's swept away in a sea of bullsh*t. If you do quit, I understand, but I'm glad that isn't happening yet
I hope you don't quit. I love your videos because your criticisms are so relatable. While I don't think it's always intentional you have made me laugh and I always look forward to seeing a new video when I'm done with work after a long day. I will whip something quick to eat like a frozen pizza out of the oven watch you from my tv.
Your video on men playing video games is unattractive hit me hard. That was the video that made me subscribe. I hope to see more of your videos in the future but I want you to do what makes you happy. Thank you Wizard. May the Force be with you always. :)
this guy is speaking all kinds of sanity quick someone tell the algorithm
Subbed. Seen you pop up in my feed here and there over the past 6 months but now I know you a real one. All the best.
I prefer you not quit but if you do, I get it. If you are a blessing to just one person, you have made a difference.
Hahahahaha just comenting as I watch the video! hope you do stay Wizard! My GF says your content is really wholesome! And that there aren't much channels like yours! You should keep it up! Hope you make it through!
My experience of this platform post 2012 has just been:
Getting smacked in the face progressively harder, meanwhile a headache inducing stench becomes more pungent.
I don't agree with some of your opinions, especially about Zack Snyder's movies, but I appreciate what you're trying to tell us and several of your videos have had a great impact on my way of seeing entertainment in this day and age. So thank you for your work and as long as your channel exists, I will be one of your subscribers.
Bro I'm envious of people who love Zack Snyder films. I used to be on that train. I used to be a Snyder apologist. I was a die hard Man of Steel and BvS fan. And I how troubled the history was with everything. I just... gahhhh... Rebel Moon was so bad. soooo bad bro. And I tried so hard to love it. I wanted to be the guy saying it was amazing. And I just can't XD
@@RealLifeFakeWizard You're right. Snyder's only good movies are dawn Of The Dead and Watchmen. And one of them is a remake and the other is a movie adaption of a much better graphic novel. Tells you everything about that guy. And in case of Dawn Of The Dead it's additionally funny that the original trilogy (Land Of The Dead and the later ones don't count) are the only good movies from Romero. So, Snyder has a lot in common with him.
I avoided content creation for some time because I looked at the numbers. I saw how the algorithm- and the viewers- encourage negativity, I saw what it did to good creators and I didn’t want that to become me.
I started creating because the companies I did the majority of my work for got into financial trouble and cancelled all my contracts at a time of year where I couldn’t pick up more writing gifs. I needed something to occupy my time until I could get back to work so that I could maintain a schedule. I enjoy it, I’m glad a few people enjoy my niche loves, but I don’t want to do negative videos and I actively don’t want to go “viral.”
Realest video I have seen I sometime. Hope you keep going. We need more like you.
Well put. "Content creators" are discovering what performers in the entertainment industry have known for decades; celebrity is not a position of happiness and power, but of desperation and exploitation.
My gosh, this has to be one of your best videos yet. Nail on the head about onlyfans wasting so much potential for women who genuinely have skills and talent to better the world but wasted on a sex addicted society. And this is why we need people like you on here, one of the few voices of reason. I love your videos so much, and while i totally understand the desire to call it quits, that'd be one more reason for me to stop watching youtube as well because you're one of the few things i do watch :(
Sounds like a gambling addiction on the apps, they give you that couple of big wins when you first sign up and give you that big dopeamine rush to keep you coming back and spending more money than you won. My sister is the perfect example of this 100% addicted to gambling she spends thousands (edit), dont quit your content is top tier always get a laugh and sometimes learn something keep it going wizard.
That’s exactly what it is
Loved that ending 😂
Keep doing your thing man. We share the sentiment which is why we're always here. And If you do ever want to leave, we also get it wizard, the message will always be in our hearts.
Create more of what you want to see.
AND CANCEL DISNEY PLUS
Can't thank you enough for the insights you brought. It will suck if you leave, but do what's best for your life
I totally understand your reasoning and perspective. I’ve been creating content for years, and I’ve been starting to wonder what the point is. As a side note, I’ve been putting more effort into creating and maintaining open source alternatives to X and Discord. No more algorithms or corporate BS. I sincerely want to return to just playing games for fun, and stop chasing the fever dream that is internet fame.
I once explained YT to a buddy as the 1800s industrial revolution.. You work at the company factory, you live in the company housing, you shop at the company store.... If you neglect any one of those things.. You are out on your ass.... YT is similar to Amyway.. Gives you the elusion of being your own entity but if you don't make the material they want at the length they want and aren't prepared to become a mini TV studio.. You're out in the street.. Oh and by the way YT will still continue to advertise on your content regardless of whether you meet monetary requirements or not..
YT is best engaged as a side gig.. Keep the day job and create for the passion / enjoyment. Personally I enjoy the editing.. ( I suck at it but I enjoy it and learning the software.. ;)
I hope you can continue as I truly enjoy what you have to say.
I hope you're doing okay, Wiz. I value you and what you put out, the world does need more people like you. I really do appreciate what you've done, and continue to do! Keep up the good messages, and great work. 👍
Six pence none the richer ... Thirty sheckle for ones soul. Hell damnation.
Don't quit mister wizard, who else will I listen to when I wanna hear an unfiltered true take on the gaming industry?
Phew, im glad you're still here ❤. But do take care. I follow a lot of people who post quite rarely but independantly. I would also agree that you do a lot of engaging rants, but are not just negative, or i'd quit. I find you quite life afirming. TH-cam is problematic, but the ticktok stuff is lost on me, that has always just looked awefull to me. And for kids. Also, its a realy tough time to be american, which i am not. Things are still bleak though. Cancel Disney!
No matter what, the future look bright.
Even when things look bleak - there's always a reason to keep going.
It feels so much less isolating in this world knowing that there are like-minded individuals like you out here too. I hope things work out for the betterment of regular joes and janes like us soon. I'm beyond ready to grab a torch and pitchfork, I'm sick of this system and culture we are creating (or are letting be created).
Good luck on your future endeavors, Wizard.
Watch to the end!
TH-cam needs real competition.
Rumble, and others have been around people never look past resolutions so I don’t see any changes.
I stumbled on your channel a few months ago and subbed because of you having integrity with smart, based takes. I can imagine the algorithm stresses alot of creators even real life fake wizards with that said just continue being real and I will watch to support you Mr wizard.
I randomly found your channel and only clicked because i seen the cheap hat and beard and thought it was humorous.
Didn't expect to hear well thought out ideas or opinions about current day and media for the most part I've been in agreement with you and enjoy your content.
Glad your staying just don't let it get you down.
Real Life Fake Wizard is more of a Wizard than most of these people are Content Creators.
Keep your ideals true to yourself and you'll go far, especially with the current cultural shift in the media landscape. We need more people like you to clean the poisoned well.
Bro please don’t quit you are like my modern day real life johnny silverhand
I'm glad this isn't goodbye.
❤u🧙🏼♂️
I'm glad you aren't leaving
Boy, it’s a good thing I’m useless and lazy at the same time. Any thought of starting a TH-cam channel that I ever have is fleeting at the thought of the amount of effort it actually takes to make something good.
In all seriousness, though, I enjoy the knowledge that I am good at the things. I am good at and I don’t advertise it to other people. There’s a quiet dignity in it.
For what it's worth - I've very much enjoyed your content and your point of view on current events in the gaming sphere. Totally understand the sentiment and agree with what things have become. It's sad that the world we live in is so predatory when we have the exclusive power to change it. Thanks for your videos; hopefully you get through to more people.
Especially when these people can't interact to save their lives. They forget what it means to be human, and having an empathetic outlook makes a difference.
I really hope you don't quit as you're really good at what you do.
Love your takes. It's so true how many creators get hooked on the fame and sell out. Glad to hear you aren't quitting. You really are one of the few authentic creators out there. Keep it up.
Do what you gotta, man. You only get one life. Many of us still love and appreciate what you do
Hope you don't quit. Love your stuff. I always check my subscriptions to see if you uploaded a new video
Nah I try to make a difference on a daily and I talk to a lot of people but I always stay up on current events, like this channel. One of my few favorites
Mr Wizard, glad you're not quitting. Use it as an outlet to make your personal life happier. A wizard once said, "we will consume".
Whatever your decision would be, I'm glad I found your channel.
I'm not going anywhere. Not yet, anyway.
Dude you seem like a good guy, and an intelligent person. I enjoy watching your videos whenever I can. You have become my instant watch whenever I see you upload. I can understand if you do end up changing your mind one day and quitting. This shit seems like it messes with your mind the more time you’re inside of it.
I Watched til the end, Respect 👏👏👏👏
As a purveyor of truth I hope you don’t quit, you are a voice of reason and truth in a world of insanity and misinformation, I and many others will miss you and the world will fall deeper into the inferno
Keep up the good work please 🙏🏿
Hello Mr Wizard. Mastodon sent me here. I am one of those consumers who waste a fair amount of time in these spaces. You really break down the dark underpinnings of this world we’ve created. I’m going to be thinking about this 🙏
Hi, Welcome.
Who sent you to me? I don't know Mastodon. Is there a link you could share for them?
Thanks for the kind words.
You made me subscribe, well played I guess.
Thanks!
thank you!
Keep killing it out there wiz.
I do it for fun, nobody watches my shit but i still have a great time doing it and it helps me structure my time working on my hobby.
Hey man. I really like your channel a lot and people appreciate your honesty and your calm and logical and intelligent break downs of whatever you choose to talk about. I appreciate you telling us what it actually feels like and consists of.
I am here for you. Whatever you wanna produce. I enjoy your enlightened thoughts on the industy. But I subscribed because of your personality and your You-ness. Do whatever you enjoy.
You got yourself a sub after that 2nd half of the video. This is so true.
"Its just a piece of metal". quote reminds me of "Its just an empty cup." from Cars Movie.
Hey I have been watching your content for months now and I really love it. It feels like a breath of fresh air that reminds me that I'm not crazy and that I'm capable of taking control of my own life even in this dystopian world. Thank you from another place in the globe 🌍
I've been on youtube for almost 15 years. I'm an old fart, subscribed to a lot of creators. You're the only one I real watch for all their content. I saw all the videos. For all their lengths. For what it's worth.
This was well thought out and I respect you for making this.
Glad you decided to stay only just found your channel yesterday
While I obviously don’t personally understand I know it can be hard but I appreciate that you still keep going and I enjoy your videos a lot. Who else is strong enough to cancel Disney plus subscriptions if not the real life fake wizard?
I really think i did grow more aware of today's issues due to these videos. I always appreciate it when you finish a video of with some positivity. Some advice of what i can do as a consumer to fight the issue.
If you ever decide to leave i want you to know that you left a possitive imprint on my life. But i can only respect your decision.
Man, I got so many opinion to say that I wouldnt be able to write it all down or even make it coherent. Good video though with good points. Its sad to see that so many people think fame is the end all be all of society. I grew up poor and troubled as a kid and now I live a comfortable life style and am much more successful than a lot of my friends but I never post about it or tell my friends about it because the only purpose would be to inflate my ego. There are a lot of paths to success and the social media path is a trap, always look for the path less traveled and you find a lot more success than your friends that are chasing an influencer life style that are competing with all the other ipad kids that can't see anything past the horizon. If kids dont want to be astronauts or scientists or archeologists anymore than those paths are prime for the taking and if you find you still want to be a content creator after that you will be far more interesting and far more useful to the world than just another guy who does reaction content or gym influencer or what ever other dime a dozen influencers are out there.
I am really happy that I listened to the TH-camr who long ago told I didn't want the job as one.
damn sorry to here that. You are one of the only creaters that i watch every single video when it comes out. i really love your takes. it still amazes me your channel is so small. i only found you 6 months ago but i am hooked.
Well, i think my next video will be something detailing "why we should cancel Disney Plus," but there's still a lot of research ahead. So, you can look forward to that.
According to the analytics, by all measures, my videos should be getting a lot more views, but TH-cam is cutting them off from people outside of my subscribers. So, that's why we're moving so slowly.
Those feigning relevance, a flash in the pan, who will someday tell you how "they could've made state, not a doubt in their minds." Juxtaposed with those casting pearls before swine (or nobody), offering something of real value who society and the algorithm disregard.
Don't give up. And thank you. Always enjoy the clarion call of "cancel Disney Plus."
I will keep this video in the "watch later" section because I want to listen to this brilliant analysis for weeks like a mantra, even if it's a kind of oxymoron, since I do this in a "social" platform like youtube.
Remember kids. A friend will help you move, a real friend will help you move a body.
Just start making a couple AI voiced videos a week. The algorithim seems to love that right now. Good luck Wizard keep it up. I liked your cheery sign off. Maybe Disney lobbied had you shadow banned haha
Watch till the end
*McDonald's theme* Your parents are disappointed
I LAUGHED SO HARD
I had to get ONE good dig in the video on some of the stupid ass commentors. I thought the was good XD
