Remember, when people made content just for the fun of it

And nothing of value was lost.
Mr. Beast only offers “charity porn” that makes him richer. He’s not doing anything to change the systems in place that make the problems he “solves” any better. He’s just putting band-aids on small groups of people while doing nothing to address larger issues. Hell, he himself is an example of a larger issue. We should not have to rely on the rich to fix societies problems, that’s what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.
I fully await for him to completely deep throat Elon to make more money. Mr. Beast doesn’t care about pesky things like real morals or values, or he wouldn’t be online friends with the likes of Musk to begin with. All he cares about is the dollar signs.
EDIT: I’m definitely expecting the day when some journalist does a “big reveal” on all the shady horrible shit that goes on with Mr. Beast and his companies.
EDIT II: You know Mr. Beast doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything but money because he’s still friends with Musk after the very public reveal of one of his staff being trans. The fact that he can be friends with such a fucking bigot while “supporting” their trans staff member reveals how little he actually gives a fuck about the issue. He’s happy to be friends with people who would deny Kris the life she wishes to lead, so how much does he really care?
Why until his channel is gone? If he’s a business, we need to tax him and his business appropriately. More, sure. But taxing a business until it’s gone is counterproductive, even if you don’t like what the business stands for…
Yes. In fact, it got me a lot of attention. I got into a bunch of newspapers, interviewed on NPR, etc. Then my audience started drifting away and on to the next thing… and then YouTube decided to monetize. My account was monetized for a while. I made a grand total of $100 before it was demonetized again.
May I ask what kind of stuff you created?
My big hit was “The Skeletor Show.” It’s still on YouTube. But I did many other things on the account before deciding I didn’t feel like making comedy videos anymore a few years ago. Occasionally people post asking me to please come back, but I don’t know that I ever will.
I will say that it did get me some jobs when I needed work, which was the original goal of the show anyway.
Fuck, remember webcomics?
Achewood, Diesel Sweeties, Cat and Girl, Penny Arcade, Cyanide & Happiness, Joe and Monkey, Questionable Content, Dresden Codak (always updated way too infrequently), Dinosaur Comics, Gone With the Blastwave, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, The Perry Bible Fellowship, When I Grow Up/WIGU/Overcompensating, Married to the Sea, hell, even CTRL+ALT+DEL left us with Loss. I could go on, there’s definitely more.
…but I don’t like to talk about what happened with SinFest.
A lot of these sites had advertising, but I don’t remember any of it being so off-putting that I felt the need for an adblocker. Honestly, at this point, I don’t even recall if adblockers were a thing yet in 2000-2005.
So much content in those early aughts. I’m still waiting on a Complete Achewood. Damn you, Chris Onstad!
I was always a little disappointed I never was able to get a “I’m the guy who sucks/plus I got depres-sion” shirts.
