  • What you’re left with is practically multiple generation’s worth of humanities students, philosophers, social scientists, media critics, media designers and theorists, and other extremely important jobs, with absolute no way to make money from these passions as well as skills without turning to platforms such as YouTube which don’t have a direct hiring process or strict employment limit. With the animator layoffs that have happened and all the shows that have been just outright cut out of streaming services I imagine this issue is just getting worse.

    you said it better than me comrade



  • This isn’t me saying video essays are bad, it’s me saying the fact that so many are making them, that our youth are spending their most productive years making “content”, it is a sign of ill-managed labor resources. It’s systemic. I support a few creators on youtube, I watch this type of content. Yet I know for a fact that a lot of it only exists because of this labor mismanagement. We are living in an ecological collapse and you’re telling me the most productive work to be done is a 12 hour video essay on TES?
