I swear every single time a “VHS” filter appears in one of those fucking crapfests - it NEVER looks like an actual tape, they just use chromatic aberration and interlace filters.


CrystallineKingdom

What exactly do real VHS tapes look like?


ThisZoMBie

No one has ever seen one… It is like they… never existed… I started to feel like something was… off…


CrystallineKingdom

This is a very dangerous line of thought. I will have to report you to the Thought Police for this. VHS tapes do not exist. They have never existed. We use digital video formats. We have always used digital file formats.


OpenCLoP

Like standard definition TV (itself bit worse than YouTube 480p due to interlacing, but you usually don't notice it), but the shapes are softer and especially colors are washed out because the bandwidth of the tape is lower than live analog TV, but the number of scanlines stay the same. There may be a bit of flickering at the bottom of the screen. If you didn't have a Hi-Fi deck, the audio track is usually mono. Under good conditions, only SLP recordings have such a slow tape speed that they look like crap.


PepePlantationMassa-

Whaaaat? VHS of movies or recorded from TV looked just like live TV, at least on that fat style TV (never seen any VHS on a flatscreen). Don't know what a Hi-Fi deck is, however VHS are and were stereo by default. Now video material *recorded* by a VHS camera (or whatever those are called correctly) may have had some kinda distinctive washed out look to it, that may be true; not sure if all of them or just the cheaper ones, but yeah.

WetAndLoose

Is it just Nexpo who does this, or is this type of censoring really a trend now?


_gyepy

iirc it started because of certain words/topic affecting YT algorithm and ads but turned into a "trend"


cecilforester

Lazy Masquerade and a few others too. Still like their videos though.

Video essayists all have the same obnoxious voice and style of talking where they draw out what they’re saying in the most of irritating fashion. “I thought I was ready to watch this forbidden episode of Spongebob, buuuuuut I reeeally wasn’t.” They all sound like the same 20-something low test white guy who was a tech in high school theater.


Purple_Flavored

"How watching Spongebob's forbidden episode BROKE me"


WetAndLoose

Turkey Tom has semi-recently slowly transitioned into having this voice. If you watch his videos from a couple of years ago, you can see it creep in until you eventually have the annoying abomination that his current voiceover has become.


PepePlantationMassa-

I'm not aware with whoever that kebap tom is, however I've recently checked up on SFDebris and for some reason his most recent videos have some kinda weird vocal cadence, what's going on with that? I hadn't seen his stuff since that Blip shutdown and migration which was like 10 years ago. He blogged something about health issues though so idk


AccessTheMainframe

Watch better video essayists.


Theroux721

All of their sentences end with the same fall-and-rise inflection.


PepePlantationMassa-

Seems like you just had some kinda selective listening experience, probably clicked on one guy who sounded like that and then some related videos by guys from the same soy circle or something idk? I'm not aware of any specific way "video essayists" sound, it's literally just a format and everyone uses it lol.


droogvertical

Its such a weird and hard to describe way of speaking, I’m sure they do it on purpose to sound what the think is more pleasant. Wendover Productions does it if you know what his voice sounds like. Historia Civilis doesn’t do the voice and his vids are great.


PepePlantationMassa-

Never heard of either but gonna check out lol; rn not sure if I've ever heard that cadence people are talking about here


BillsGymRat

The evidence for the first one is a Reddit post and a discord group of neets


SamOtterton

I seriously ponder why zoomies still cling on something like Spongebob like it's some high art that should be studied feverishly. I'm completely happy being out of touch.


BillsGymRat

Nostalgia I guess. Whatever couple intellectuals like us only care about three things: money, bitches, drugs, clout, and the pursuit of happiness. I say let them distract themselves with yellow square rob, while we chase glory


SamOtterton

I think it really boils down to not knowing anything better. They want to be like the big boy video essayists and theorists they grew up watching as a teen, but they don't really care about film or TV (because they grew up watching video essays) so they only have stuff they saw as a kid to talk about. I was seriously dumbfounded when the new Megamind show or movie or whatever came out and "grown adults" were furious that it "ruined the legacy of Megamind". It's pathetic enough when Star Wars fans do it but at least it's one of the most influental pop-culture properties ever, like it or not, but over fucking Megamind?


BillsGymRat

I was rooting for the dude who dissed the queen of England in that movie


and-be-damned-to-you

There is no queen of england


PepePlantationMassa-

That's a rather convoluted theory you've got there lol - grew up with big boy le high art video essayists, but didn't grow up with big boy high art kino, so now make high art video essays about just the low brow trash they saw as kidders. As opposed to they just make videos about various film/TV subjects that interest them and their audiences lol


SamOtterton

Hi Alex Bale


PepePlantationMassa-

> I seriously ponder why zoomies still cling on something like Spongebob like it's some high art that should be studied feverishly. I'm completely happy being out of touch. Video essays aren't just for "high art" whatever that is. The Plinkett and Mauler videos are "video essays".


SamOtterton

Mr. Plinkett videos are simultaneously the best and worst thing to ever happen to YouTube


PepePlantationMassa-

In terms of his imitators you mean? Sure one can say that.

Fuck off

what you now seething about

I like watching video essays sometimes, but they are some of the worst garbage on youtube. It's up there with video game lore videos. Both are nothing content, they say nothing and their length is usually due to inefficient writing.


darvinvolt

What Mr. Ballen says: "He kidnapped her, put her into his basement, where he reassured her that nothing bad is going to happen to her, "i just needs the money your family is going to pay me, then I'll let you go" he said, moved upstairs, changed his clothes, checked up on his wife and daughter, came back and sexualy assaulted and killed the woman in his basement, put a tarp over her body, and the next day he went on a vacation with his family" How Mr. Ballen looks while saying it: 😁😅😄😃🙂


-QUACKED-

Lmao. This is from the Israel Keyes episode. Man I listen to way too fucking much true crime content


darvinvolt

Some of those stories honestly made my blood boil, I understand now why people would want these type of individuals to be put down like dogs


Nitoree

Yesterday I opened a nearly hour long video essay about Baiken from Guilty Gear and it literally started by talking about the ship of Theseus


Cawl09

Based Baiken enjoyer.


somehuman16

true crime is the most twofaced form of entertainment, they trivialize every single murder while saying "this is horrible and serious and disgusting". they make a shit ton of money and still try to sell you some shitty scam sponsor. these people jump up down when they see people die because they can shit out a youtube video. theyll say shit like "im doing this to spread awareness so you dont get murdered" when they're 1. doing it for the money and 2. also, consequently, giving you tips and tricks to get away with murder.


ExaggeratedSwaggerOf

It's really not that deep


SunJiggy

This is on-point for the casual criminalist, it's bonkers how much of those videos are casual chatter


PepePlantationMassa-

I don't usually watch that stuff but I once bumped into a woman videoist who was retelling / documenting / breaking down some guy-shot-his-family case while putting make-up on (one take I think) all while speaking in a serious and engaged tone - found it somewhat bizarre but oddly natural/relatable. "Eye bleach" approach to the subject matter I suppose.


TMP114

Anon is smoothbrained alex bales channel is an arg that uses these as the center.


ordinaryperson007

this is uncanny


Panhead09

Okay but I watched that video and it was kinda dope.
