So, just because you can't earn money from Twitter, you think it's the worst?
Twitter, where you go to get unfiltered information from the most powerful people in the world, interact with genius, read news first, build relationships, quality comedy, direct access to influential figures, and is a goldmine for recent history
?
This reminded me when team salvato made an account for Monika, and it got suspended by DMCA's. And when Monika got reinstated, the images she posted where unable to be seen
Gee.... It would be really awesome if users of a site could vote in and out corporate bosses, if they don't suit the needs of the users and just case profit.
@Trev Ken it's a platform notoriously hard to censor. Sure it'll get pulled off trending in an hour. But not only do you get the standard normie with phone live streaming the action. Journos are always willing to post their quality shit in a raw unfiltered way. Anything like an election, or riot can feel excilerating, because it can feel like you're part of it. It all goes up so quickly.
the checkmark isn't necessarily an endorsement, but as it attacks one side of the political isle the checkmark that remain are acting as a defacto endorsement.
Being worried about the blue verified checkmark is as bad as the people treating it as a status symbol.
Who the fuck cares about verified unless you're a public internet person worried about your personal brand, and even then, you link your Twitter on YouTube???
Publishers vs platforms does not exist in the law. Section 230's plain language grants effective blanket immunity for censorship. I made a live stream and a video explaining this. Please stop spreading this incorrect information. Watch my live stream where I read the actual text of the relevant laws for more information.
This website is only good as a periodic source of bat and bug videos, which I can just get from Google anyways. Although I would be interested in a Twitter Geographic about how cancel culture was able to take over the website.
FINALLY, I actually got to watch this video! I was excited to see your new vid drop and intended to watch in bed before falling asleep. 3 nights in a row, I fell asleep in the first 2 minutes. Finally, I got to watch it and it was... a video =). Cool. Now it's late and I'm tired and I got work at 7. FUCK. (PS I hope this comment entertained you cause I'm just bored and wrote this for no reason, also where can I get some good nightly earrape around here?)
i know the feeling for being banned permanently from Twitter for no reasons because "We suspect that someone is using your account to post inappropriate tweets," which i know that nobody care about my account since all i did was posting pictures of my food, pictures i did, chatting with people, talking about video games and youtube and other things that Twitter was ok with!
Where were you exactly on Twitter? I've used that platform since November 30, 2017, and would not consider Twitter to be garbage at all. If you want a garbage platform, go to Snapchat or Zoom. I actually deleted a Snapchat.
Simple fix. Multiple public figures get together for an organized event where one person impersonates each one and every public figure threatens to sue, all public figures saying "I told you this would happen, I tried to get verified multiple times before, people can get swatted and/killed over this".
the blue checkmark is a badge of SHAME. don't go for it. its as bad as winning a Nobel prize, an oscar, an emmy or even a pulitzer. its all politicized and the standards for obtaining such things are all lowered down to the same bar. you must be a devout cult member to get those things. a generation or so ago those things might have meant something. but the blue checkmark never had authority behind it. not even past glory to rely on.
TLDR: checkmarks are bad. it means you're a cult member or serving their purposes.
This video is especially timely because today a long time streamer and legendary WoW player, Reckful tragically took his own life. Right before he passed, he made a post on twitter and got a lot of replies encouraging suicide. The internet has become a dark place that separates and isolates people from understanding each other.
Something similar happened to Etika. I remember clearly how his downward spiral started when twitter harrased him for saying the n-word. Later everyone was calling him clown.
@Jason Andriulaitis I guess the difference is now the people being toxic think they're being right in being toxic assholes, making comments a lot more hurtful. Whereas before people at least seemed to be self aware trolls.
The Internet always manages to desensitize people like this, it's sickening. People love to preach for acceptance and tolerance, on Twitter especially, and then turn around and be completely callous to others they don't understand.
I was gonna add the FGC community has been duking it out in on twitter over sexual assault allegations.
I made a short 1 minute video, informing about some of the allegations from the smash side.
I was devastated to learn how much worse it got. EVO has since been cancelled because of it.
I don't use twitter anymore, so even my video feels dated, but it seems a lot of the debauchery has come from people having to attack or defend eachothers claims...
This should be handled in lawsuits privately, not public drama for the masses. News medias are gonna get the last sting and just attack the community with a 1 line quip that will go viral across all the stations...
As someone who's been suicidal before, the fact those sick freaks are demented enough to encourage someone who desperately needs help and emotional support, to end themself, absolutely disgusts me.
@BearDollars you mean aside from the old consistent cycle of someone saying/doing something dumb, getting doxed, and everyone laughs as they kill themselves? its frankly way less common now then it used to be back in the 2000s.
Pesudo anonymity from being online makes people arseholes as they don't fear any irl consequences. This isn't exclusive to Twitter mind, same shit happens on almost any major social media site.
@LX BDK (Notifications are OFF) if you ever have a lowpoint in your life. Just don't open any social media, or, at least browse them after you logged off
@Eugene InLaw it should probably be common sense to not provoke someone into committing suicide, joke or not. sure, there could be a universe where its all jokes and games, no one kills themselves, its all for laughs. however, you really dont want to be in the universe where it wasnt a joke.
You can also look at the internet as a wonderful place of opportunity. The replies probably thought it was fake(idk the situation) and were joking which is messed up,a tweet from a suicidal streamer and a video about the verification badge don’t coincide just bc it deals with twitter
@Jason Andriulaitis It was at least tolerable before since it wasn't infecting our politics and dividing millions of people, but yes, you'd technically be correct.
Are there any screencaps of some of the tweets encouraging him? I google it and all I can find are tweets and journalists writing about how Twitter is "paying homage" to him after his death with no mention of toxicity. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't know how to use Twatter, let alone navigate through a cesspool of already-deleted/reported tweets or try to use waybackmachine shenanigans.
The Internet: It's OK to say really nasty and mean things to people unless they end up hurting or killing themselves, then it's retroactively not OK... Well, maybe that's over-cynical, it is harder to notice anything even happened if someone just retains psychological damage rather then direct harm against themselves in the moment.
@BearDollars No, they weren't. Self-awareness back then was basically nonexistent in the minds of trolls, and even in sites like Facebook, shit could escalate to doxxing, death threats and into suicide far more commonly than today. You could get this kind of threatment even by already being a legitimante victim of serious harassmentof of people that users liked for whatever reason. Back then, those risks were taken farless seriously than they are today, and they are the reason Cyberbullying is a topic discussed at school. Unfortuaìnately, even today a lot of people seem to have forgotten that others can be hurt through the internet even more than they can in real life, and this horrible event in an example.
@Something Else Funny thing is that anonimity was a part of netiquette, and important especially in social media sites, but nowadays it doesn't exist anymore
@Something Else Yep, when I got online literally every webpage had a netiquette section. c.1995. I learnt to code from help on irc #php and unix in #freebsdhelp then stuck around and helped many many ppl. Last decade I checked those communities had a hate-on for 'noobs'..
@Something Else I remember in 2003 I read the logs when 'Ripper' suicided himself in #shroomery@irc.efnet.org while too many of his fellow channel members cheered on. That was the first such event that I had learnt of and felt close just since I knew of the channel. It changed me, now such an event is not even a surprise aside maybe from the surprise that I've grown so desensitized. Such events are all too common now what with I'm guessing half the planet having access to online tubes and worldwide inter-dweebs..
@Nox' Gil if i were suicidal like he was, yeah i would. lot of people would under that, maybe some wouldn't just for spite, i guess, but depends on your condition.
@Nox' Gil I see your point, but that's not exactly fair. To be in that state of mind, you're already not thinking clearly and droves of strangers harassing you and egging you on won't help.
I mean, what happens is that people just see some avatar and username instead of the person behind it, creating a disconnect between the human and his profile, making people comfortable to say whatever horrible shit they want.
I think the fact that Twitter doesn't even have an edit button, a feature that's on pretty much every platform imaginable, is very indicative of the site's nature. It's a website that does not forgive and does not forget. Whether it be an unsavory remark someone made a decade ago (that they probably don't even agree with anymore), or even just making a simple typo, it's very clear that Twitter is not a place for those who make mistakes.
@Badis Or you can just make sure to send out a Tweet that you personally consider to be perfect, but even that can backfire in the future. Honestly I only use Twitter to have intelligent conversation about video games and comic book super heroes with people online and I use it sparingly, it has worked out well for me.
YouTube comments always have edit buttons in order to fix any mistakes, and it's pretty neat. The problem is that the "dislike button" in the comment section is more mysterious than I thought it would be.
@Mr. Friendship The comment dislike button hasn't worked for years. I heard at some point that it reduces the comment's visibility internally, but that could easily be wrong.
People hated it when YouTube considered the idea of removing the video dislike button. But they already removed the dislike button from the comments a long time ago. The only difference is they kept the icon for you to click.
Idk it might be a good thing that Twitter doesn't have an edit button, since Retweets are effectively an endorsement of whatever was said, if people are able to edit their tweets after the fact then you could run into problems like Wendy's retweeting someone who says that they love their food, then edits it to say "Heil Hitler"
@Noseihtam fair enough, but I'm sure there's gotta be some workaround for that. Maybe you only have a limited amount of time to edit a tweet after the fact? Or maybe there could be a way to see what a tweet originally said before it was edited? I don't know how well these things would work, and maybe the folks behind Twitter have already thought about them, but I think they should still consider the idea. YouTube has a sort of solution like this for the "hearted" comments, where those comments will have the YouTuber's heart removed if the commenter edits their comment after the fact. It's not the most elegant solution, but at least it's something.
@Badis Doesn't stop screenshots retweets and all that. Once you get fired for a retweeted tweet you made 8 years ago what do you think people will remember. Something you said that trended and ended up everywhere or you trying to correct yourself.
@Wolfson99 Pretty sure yeah, I heard it in one of his videos I think... But I may be Wrong though. Because l mean, sometimes your brain just loves to lie to you. I don't know why, but it just be like that.
I love how Jack can give a straight "No." about an edit button yet there isnt a single rational reason for that. Literally no reason. This is a solved issue, and theyre just refusing to do it
He actually gave the reason of "Because ot can edit the context after it has been dealt with and yadda yadda". Ia still a terrible reason and a simple (Edited) would suffice like in Discord
Twitter: "A verification checkmark is not an endorsement" removes checkmarks from people they don't agree with Me: Oh so now it literally is an endorsement, great.
Fun Fact: I've been trying to get that damned blue check mark for ages. I have someone who represents me talking to Twitter and Twitter flat out told them that I meet the requirements to be verified, but because they're currently short staffed, they aren't verifying people unless it's "urgent'"
What even is an "Urgent Twitter Verification"? Are they really trying to tell me that it's not just a button they click? They said I meet the requirements so they must have checked me, right?
It's never just a button "they" click. Once you work at companies like these you get to understand. But still, it's the company's fault for complicating the process.
They need to do a background check and require your social security. You'll also need to bring an additional form of ID and proof of residence in the United States.
Twitter is honestly hot trash. May not even be worth getting that checkmark, my dude. You're more personable without it anyway. Best of wishes with your channel, man. Happy you're loving what you do.
@Last Man Standing god no they shouldn't keep your social security, your not trading Bitcoin are you? Of course not... Plus that isn't needed and is an invasion of privacy and easily stolen.
"Alright, so we have to send you into Twitter where you'll have to duel every currently Verified user's accounts in an epic battle to the death. Then, you have to carry a comically oversized check mark all the way back to where you started while the vengeful AIs try to kill you. Good luck, and remember, if you die in Twitter, your reputation dies in the real world."
Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! It's Pokemon Challenges guy! After watching this video (assuming you even watched it), WHY do you still like Twitter? Is it the politics and that sweet sweet Trump bashing echo chamber? Twitter is one of the most worthless websites on the internet, next to Reddit and Tumblr. At least Facebook and YouTube (as lame as they've gotten) connects you with real people.
@Mr. Moron I always see people complain about spaghetti code on everything, I wonder on how many occasions people can actually look at the code to back up the claim.
@Mcheetah Oh god no, I hate the echo chamber stuff on Twitter. I just think that Twitter is as fun as you make it! If you follow fun people and tweet about fun stuff, you'll probably have a fun time
I just try not to follow people who make me miserable. I didn't come to twitter to be sad, after all.
“Hey can I get verified?” “Lemme check the requirements.... yep! You’ve got them all!” “Cool so I can get verified?” “No.” “Why?” “Don’t care about you. Didn’t ask. Plus you’re not a brand or mainstream celebrity”
@Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! Honest question, does Twitter do anything for you? I feel like the value of that site for someone like you is a myth, unless you enjoy using it for its own sake I guess. I've had better luck finding your (Pokemon) videos through searches, and seeing comments of yours like this here. On Twitter you're a nobody compared to the shrieking hordes. And it really is a miserable site where friends are almost incentivized to turn on you.
I'm increasingly anti-social media to begin with, Youtube is the last place I go due to its larger number of independent creators. But even if I liked social media more, Twitter would be the last mainstream place I'd go.
@Mr. Moron Sounds like someone doesn't know programing, You shouldn't have to code anything, There should be some sort of hidden controlboard account with the power to guarant verification.
lightxz27 - I haven’t used the site much, and it’s evident to me that many Twitter users are degenerates; they frequently host sexual events without shame and draw lots of naughty pictures.
snubcube - Oh...yeah, I forgot about that. What’s maddening is the fact that Twitter itself doesn’t care, and openly allows these degenerates to talk with minors while banning anyone for a joke they made a decade ago. They willingly facilitate this behavior.
Someone needs to go undercover and get the information of the MAPs to report them to the FBI. Then, the administration of Twitter itself needs to be taken care of too.
After what happened to Etika, my dislike of twitter turned into bitter hatred for that site. There are way too many shallow-minded, and sadistic self righteous people on there. I can't visit that site for more than 1 second without wanting to bash my head against the wall.
What’s worse about cancelling, is that Twitter’s features are extremely unforgiving. No deleting DMs, deleted tweets still appear on TLs, hard to remove individual bookmarks, deactivation takes way too long, etc.
Your comment gave me enough reason of not going back to Twitter. I started Twitter to just voice opinions but never got any enough likes or hearts no matter how many hashtags I put out. I was thinking of going back, but after watching this video and your comment alone, I'm fully convinced not going back.
If Twitter is what Emplemon said, "A cesspool of sin and misery." along with cancel culture. Then I'm good on not using this social media again.
I fully anticipate that once Trump is gone that Twitter is going to tank. Media was drawn to his twitter feed like flies on shit. Every little thing he muses on became news, became clicks, became cash. Biden is going to be boring and boredom doesn't get clicks.
And then he got banned........ then his fans flocked to Parlor as an alternative cause the smooth brain running that site treats it like 8chan and doesn't care for moderation...... which lead it to being pulled from all mobile app stores and him going bankrupt.
I've watched him get worse and worse ever since he started 4 years ago.
He's never been very agreeable and always been up to argue, but ever since he started using Twitter it's basically impossible to talk to him anymore without an argument ensuing.
I don't use twitter but I have a friend that keeps nagging me about how much better Twitter is than facebook. Facebook is fine and it's much better than twitter. It in fact does not have anti-vax mums everywhere, as long as you don't join the groups or like the pages that blatantly would talk about this. Facebook is great because there's a group or page for almost every hobby or interest you can have with a thriving community around each of them, and everybody is very friendly most of the time because each group has their own set of moderators and admins that actually do their jobs. It honestly is much better than all the BS on Twitter IMO. Instagram is not bad but it's annoying.
Chronicle Zombie can confirm, twitter sucks ass, I only really use it for following creators but now I’m wondering if I should just deactivate my account
@Andrew Putnam its not bad if you try to stay silent and remember that because of how reddit is designed every single conversation ends in a circlejerk
About the person who said they’ve never met a person irl who uses Twitter, there is data that supports that. Only about 22% of American adults have a Twitter and 80% of tweets come from 10% of users. Only about 2% of the U.S. is exceptionally active on it, and that doesn’t even account for all of the brands that tweet all day.
I've never met a person IRL that uses Twitter. Or at least anyone who mentioned they have ever used it. Maybe thats because I only meet other poor working class people though.
as someone with a twitter account (regretfully, might i add), i’ve come across people who tweet hundreds of times a day, mostly about toxic political shit. a lot of these people also had very clear political biases, either stated in their bios or in the statements they made (again, VERY frequently) in many of their own tweets.
so yeah, there’s your answer. it’s for people who are unnaturally obsessed with politics, to an unhealthy degree.
Lewds of its mascot, the Sonic the hedgehog account, and the year progress account are the most valuable contributions to society Twitter has provided us.
@Stafki GTN --- that's right, who wants to lewd the mascot of the site, that caused nothing, but the suffering on it's users, also Captain John from Tankmen is a better website mascot anyway.
What's messed up about YouTube verification, after getting roasted last year about it, they quietly disbanded most future verifications after that. I've been over 100K subscribers since December, and all I get back when asking about YT verifications, is that they aren't accepting any new applications at the moment. Sound familiar?
This video has by far the most accurate description of Twitter. I only have it to follow some of the artists I like, but even that is draining since everyone likes to post some insane posts about how they would like people to die for one view or another. It only got worse after the December 17th mass exodus from Tumblr, all the crazies from there mixed with Twitter and created an abomination.
Twitter is so bad that it even poisoned my mind. I'm an old school edgelord with no fuchs in my briefcase, but I still got caught up in the activism anyhow. I recently got binktch slapped back to reality with some major fandom drama I am part of. I cut myself off from using it as a social platform and I am already better for it.
Man, I hate the fact that the escaped mental asylum patients known as Twitter users are infesting other sites (I know this because my interests also align with theirs sadly) like Discord for example, I was in this TLOU RP server, and the "discussion" (cough cough echochamber) about racism in America was brought up and one of the mods were claiming that all police institutions were racist and some bullshit without evidence, and then I actually posted some evidence towards the contrary (The FBI crime statistics for 2018) and the mod resorted to saying "lol don't care plus you're white" or something like that (I don't speak stupid so I don't know what chimpanzee speak they were spouting) and tried to delete all my posts, and had their mob of smooth-brains chase me off the server. Now, since I can't really prove this in the YouTube comments (because there's no image posting option for obvious reasons), there was also something about the genocide against native americans and slavery of black people and how all whites were evil racists and whatnot, so, I brought up a case of a currently-ongoing genocide and also brought up statistics about how most of the developing world currently suffers from slavery and human-trafficking, and that the United States fought to end slavery (although the reason was more political rather than moral) and y'know what I got? A landslide of "idc" and "stfu you're white". Yeah... good thing I had that server taken down for gore by later raiding the server like a boss 😎
Oh damn, I think I recognize you and what drama you're talking about. Yeah, that whole fiasco was a shitshow and it's awesome how you got yourself out of it.
@2-D Gaming You don't go to Pornhub for discussion though. Discord's probably the best platform intended for actual discussion, and even then, public servers can still suffer from a lot of the problems that Twitter has. That being said, engaging in Discord servers promotes learning your way around a server's culture in order to communicate in it properly. Whether or not that server's culture is gay or not is a different story though. There's just some servers that are just as bad, if not worse, than Twitter.
EDIT: mfw this reply comment gets 16 likes, but my main comment on this video is completely ignored despite being both higher effort and an inside joke. :sadgry:
I mean the places you mention have a higher character limit than twitter so yeah lol sight was never meant to be civil and it isn't but it is entertaining
@Untitled 1 tou can still have a normal convo on 9gag, but you can find them under specific posts, like Feelsbar. Most people take themselves too seriously and get triggered over anything.
Or, countray to the stereotype, most of reddit. Reddit mocks neckbeards as much as everyone else and if you avoid political subs they can be really nice.
Good point. It's true, it does have human trafficking and I think some of the violent sexual footage might actually be real. Aren't most comment sections on pornhub etc just asking for the actresses name? They ask even if it tells them in the description they still ask.
@RecardoGuillermo boy I've had a account on there for 5 years. An while yes the places is a cesspool of retardation, there are some users that can actually be rather well educated on topics.
Darke Firstly, no one shares that rule with you, that’s just you. Secondly, the proper way of typing it is iFunny, not IFunny, and unlike your rules, everyone knows that
@Ernesto Acosta id say at the very least Right leaning. You will find pockets of Democrats on the platform but you NEED to sift through a lot of shit to find them. An another thing, its not safe place. You NEED to be able to handle harassment without it burying you. If can "roll with the punches" and get through those 2 barriers. You'll find some decent people. However do your best to AVOID the featured comment section. Thats where the most vile of iFunniers reside.
I deleted my twitter account a couple months ago because it was actually ruining my mental state because it's just a cycle of the same garbage political posts, memes, virtue signalling and negative news about the world, and it was driving me mad. Sometimes I miss my twitter because it was where I posted all my memes, but ultimately, my mental state has improved overall since I got rid of it.
You know, it's interesting when you hear people talking about whiny fanbases, most of what they're talking about comes from Twitter. I think this perfectly sums up people on Twitter.
@Truth what's important But he's repeating the same talking point that is so overused that it's not funny. We get it, you can't express your opinion cuz your right-wing, ok and is that the only reason why you're getting censored? Also saying that in order to be verified, "you have to be Jewish (possibly black)" is a pretty big red flag.
@Tanjina Afrin I agree with the remained of your comment except the following parts.
"you can't express your opinion cuz your right-wing," Not really the truth since being a libertarian or simply disagreeing with the far-left can get you suspended.
"and is that the only reason why you're getting censored?" Not particularly fond of the implication. Yes, that is literally how little twitter and youtube are concerned about equal enforcement of their rules. It is general knowledge that one can be banned as a result of being subject to false DMCAs or upsetting the wrong person(s) - suspensions have and do occur for reasons that have nothing to do with illegal activity or violations of the respective terms of service agreement and/or community guidelines.
Speaking of which, community guidelines and twitter rules are intentionally written in a vague manner part in to appease the outrage mob - see youtubes "new" rules on firearms related content - but also so that if you do get suspended or banned, there is no way to falsify that the claim that you have violated their guidelines or TOS. Youtube has even refused to tell you exactly what part of your video violated their community guidelines and what the exact parts of those guidelines are. Karl of InRangeTV - a firearms channel that I am subscribed to - has asked a contact of his as to what exactly is meant by "conversion kits".
Youtube did not offer a clarification to his contact.
Honestly as a guy who uses Twitter for business reasons to help in my career. I agree, I really don't see the point in having a Twitter unless your trying to build or help expand a brand. I could be wrong but given the current climate of Twitter I don't see why any regular person would want to use it. Just doesn't seem worth it when there's nothing of value to be gained from it.
@Creamy Avocado your right, keep a 100% honest I only use Twitter as another place to find potential work. As is the same case on why I use Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and newgrounds as well. YouTube is also great for that as well sometimes, I just need to establish more connections with creators as alot of them do there casting not through public auditions but direct relationship communication.
I've always had a policy to unfollow on twitter upon the first whiff of witch-hunting or politics, even when I'm in complete agreement. I do this even to my close friends. It's not anything personal, I don't block or mute them or anything, but to me Twitter exists entirely as a meme aggregate. I want to open twitter to laugh and generally have a good time, not be inundated with paranoia and disgust at the world. I'll get news I care about from actual journalists who I trust aren't trying to get me riled up for more clicks, not some industry approved twitter account where thousands of people are after each other's heads in and around the comments.
Can we just give a shoutout to Steak-Ummms? The fact a multi million dollar brand was cool just helping Emp out w "insider" marketing stuff just to be cool is actually pretty dope. I know it was the account manager and not steak ummms itself but still hella cool.
I really agree with you thinking of Twitter as toxic. It's sad that it's like that because a lot of people see toxic people in X community acting toxic, and they think that it applies to every person in that community.
wonders why a normal person would ever go on Twitter also mentions that there’s porn on the website THERE YOU GO, YOU FOUND YOUR ANSWER. It’s like the new tumblr for me.
There's....uh....erm.....hold on....lemme think. Ah-hah! There's...oh wait no....no no...that declined too. Ooh, ooh! There's 4Chan! Its been shit from the start!
Like, no joke, Google+ was the best thing, you had all kind of options, politics were non existent, not a character limit, communities, collections, etc. It was the shit, i loved it
Already looks insane to me lmao Also take into consideration Twitter posts are what companies and politicians think normal people say and what they're like. Scary shit
My take is that Twitter is one step removed from broadcasting your thoughts.
People are carrying around pocket-sized internet-connected phones where they can type out any random impulsive nonsense in five seconds and have potentially the whole world read it. No context, no tone of voice, no body language, and elaboration can be tricky, especially when people might only be exposed to one tweet from someone and not any further clarification or redaction. Quite frankly, having over a decade of Twitter culture to look back on, you'd have to be insane to think that general discourse has a place on Twitter. It's good for, as Emp said in the video, networking and posting funny tweets that get reposted on other sites.
@Egg T In theory, it should allow you to be easily distinguished from fake accounts by having a mark they don't, but as explained in the video, it's just a way to incentivize corporations to spend their money on advertising, thus giving Twitter money, so it doesn't even do that well.
@_Josuh IKR..? sniff It's a shame..a damn shame Raywilliamjohnson chose to shoot it to death.., five or so years back... sobs Oh, Google+! W-Why didja have to go?!?! Aw, wh-h-hyyy?!?!?! sigh If only Ray had the foresight of what horror Twitter would have become..maybe he'd have spared the good, young platform...
@Yoh Kind of funny how things have gotten so awful on Youtube and everywhere else, that people are looking back on google+ fondly.
Not necessarily saying you're wrong, I've just been on here long enough to remember when everybody was posting those" Bob's making an anti google+ army" ascii copypastas in the comments of literally every single video, and all the big youtubers were posting rant videos about how stupid it is that people had to have a google + account just to post a freaking comment on a video.
Looking back, It all seems so trivial and quaint, compared to what we are currently dealing with....
Hey Emp. I stumbled across your channel recently and wanted to let you know how enjoyable your videos are. I don't care about Twitter, or YouTube drama, or even WWE, yet your videos keep me watching, regardless of the subject. Keep it up!
If history and fiction has taught me anything, it is that whenever humanity tries to make a utopia, it is much more shit than anyone could of anticipated and we get one or two things. 1. A recreation of 1984 2. A recreation of Brave New World
Both of them are pretty bad for people that want to do their own thing.
@Vignesh People on 4chan don't even research about your past to find mistakes then tries to cancel your very existence. They just tell you that you're gay and be done with it.
Hell yeah, I'd be down for some of that. I sure never used the site before, but if/when that day and age comes, I bet that place will become quite the shangri-la if it returns to being anything like Whitney Philips wrote about in This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.
@Stale Bagelz It's almost like if you allow every political opinion then of course political ideologies which are looked down upon everywhere else are going to congregate there. Dunno what you expect. There's a lot more than nazi extremists on that site despite what people say. Do you just browse /pol/ or something?
Bruh honestly tho, culture swings are hilarious to me. 4chan is counter-culture incarnate, so when the "main narrative" became so full of hate, vitriol and ridden with fallacies, they went the opposite way.
Anons might not like or agree with your opinion, but at least you actually get to have one when you post there.
Nobody goes on 4chan and says, "this is a reasonable place." But people do that all the time on twitter, when in reality everything that happens on twitter is absolute batshit insanity. So while 4chan may be worse in terms of the content which is posted, it is actually less toxic because people go there knowing it's all shit.
Stale Bagelz You should probably at visit 4chan at least once or twice, because it's obvious you haven't. Also, the 'alt-right' makes up such a minority of crime. Compared to other groups, it's nothing.
@Vignesh you ever been in 4chan before,most likely not, it's actually fairly normal, however they elevate the actions of a few instead of most, people on 4chan have done more good than people in twitter, they're legit research and make actual claims,
I actually browse 4chan and Twitter is more toxic. Racists, coomers, incels and femboys all trawl 4chan's boards, yet out of all the horrible toxicity it exhales, I'm able to tolerate it better than 4chan. Trust me, Twitter is worse.
Valentine2000 - In it’s earlier days, when Internet censorship was lower, it was possible to find such content on 4chan, unfortunately.
Today, where moderation is taken much more seriously, illegal material doesn’t find its way onto 4chan anymore, and it’s users don’t seem to mind. In fact, some users have collaborated to end a massive CP production operation through hacking and reporting evidence to the FBI. Most of the stuff regarding child exploitation on 4chan is an exaggeration or a total lie that the media perpetuates to vilify the site for the sake of a political agenda.
Some random guy on the internet - 4chan’s atmosphere can get pretty nasty, but Twitter will actively ruin your life. Haven’t you heard of cancel culture?
To be fair, I've atleast seen significantly more diverse discussions on 4chan than I have on Twitter; as far as I know, diversity is encouraged on there, with Twitter being your average hivemind for the most part when it comes to majority voice, plus if you're sick of something you can just move to a different board, but on Twitter the shit you're sick of is stuck on the sidebar on the " Trends for You " and there's nothing you can do about it other than change your country to adjust them or tell the system you're not interested in the ones you atleast can tell that to because they're not under paid promotion.
4chan isn't better than Twitter, but at least 4chan doesen't presents itself as a peacefull, corporate frendly social media network, you get what you see...
Yeah. Its actually a scary thought when you think about it since 4chan was known as the internet's toilet for its whole life until recent. Its not that its gotten better over the years, its that everything else has sunk below its level. I see far fewer arguments on 4chan full of overemotional insults than I have on Twitter and thats saying something.
I went to /vg/ on 4ch one day and entered a random general. People were legitimately respecting eachother and wishing themselves the best, having fun discussions and posting cool images. I can't fucking believe this is happening, but the singularity is getting closer and closer. Maybe i am just going insane at this point.
Valentine2000 a long time ago it was. Most of the people on boards outside of /b/ are against that behavior though. Believe it or not, /pol/ tends to unite together to expose pedophiles.
I doubt it will ever become or approach that as all the users enjoy for the most part complete anonymity so you can be as toxic as you want without any real repercussion for the most part.
@Redroses2oo yeah but there are cultural differences between platforms that ironically manages to make 4chan often less toxic, plus 4chan unlike twitter will band together for good causes on occasion, I think its entirely possible with how godawful twitter is just in general that it can make 4chan look like a wonderland by comparison, as for other platforms who knows
If you want to talk about 4chan, at least visit it once or twice. I swear people love to repeat the things they heard somewhere and not think for themselves. Not talking about you OP.
Honestly 4chan is more is more of a site ran on Chaos. They just want something to go down. Good or bad. Either have Kim Jong Un on time magazine, or send an old war veteran happy birthday messages.
4chan is the only site where you can get an actual discussion today. because it has no upvotes or likes, you are also anonymous. your argument stands on his own. of course theres "toxicity" but thats on all the other sites too.
I'm tired of people just assuming the entire site is just /b/ and /pol/ if you have used it for more then two seconds you'd know that there is more then that. Sure people say edgy things but in general who cares since it is the internet
"We at Twitter would like to remind you that verification does not indicate endorsement, and to prove that fact we will now be removing verification from everyone we don't endorse."
@Henry Martin Not to mention when EmpLemon told them he was making a video about verification, they responded with "nice." As in they actually watch the content and care about who they are watching.
You forgot one thing, my good man. Twitter is a great place to watch people loose all sense of decency over nothing. It's a little amusing, I'll be honest. And I don't even HAVE Twitter.
I don’t have a Twitter account so this is fascinating to me. It’s like attending a Rotary Club meeting, you have no clue what’s happening but every involved seems real in to it for some reason.
Roger Dodger you pretty much got it down. & whats pretty funny is that I think one of the only reasons they haven’t been yet changed is because nobody wants to be known as “that politician that rallied for uncensored porn”.
The best protip is to set it to Balkan or Baltic countries in Europe, because literally nothing trends there. My trending tab has been empty for the past month since I set it to Bosnia & Herzgovina and I couldn't be happier.
@downward spiral This is true. It's all over their media.
Mario was conceived by Miyamato as a stand in for the Labor Class, and the communist flag's star is why he collects stars to power up.
The animation film director Miyazaki has taken heavy inspiration. Many of his worlds involve showing labor being properly divided, and having all character pitch in. No persons labor is unused, and excess is held to preserve nature.
@Roger Dodger Huh, makes sense why the Japanese work themselves to death while living in tiny rooms then. Since there is no political position there which sides with the working class, the rich employers have all the power.
@Roger Dodger That's a common trap that a lot of people fall into on the left, surprising to see it from those who don't affiliate with the left as well. That trap is believing that the political representation that is seen in online media is representitive of the actual political beliefs of the public. This was prominent when Bernie was running, everyone telling each other to not give up since real life numbers aren't reflected very well in online discourse.
In actuality, leftists and rightists aren't more or less prominent than each other at all online, its just that they're split up per website. Tumblr and Twitter being more leftist, Reddit and YouTube being more centrist, and 4chan and other sites (of which i dont know because im not right leaning) being right wing.
So, I do disagree with that % split detailing how many people are far right, right, centre leaning, left, and far left. As a leftist myself I'd say there's actually not many people at all who lean far left, just that the overton window has shifted in a way that anyone who believes in welfare is considered being far left compared to everyone else. But, if the overton window was actually centralised again, then I'd say there's more people I would consider to be far right than far left in america, which makes sense if you consider the origins of america as a country and how it was built off of more traditionaly right values than left values.
Interesting to see how different political perspectives consider the proportion of left:right leaning people to be different - I always think there's waaay too many people on the right online, but maybe it's just me noticing people I disagree with more than I notice people who I agree with. Nice to know that's a thing on the right too. (!)
@Kyster Sweats I.... am far left (tds?) riddled idiots who rove around twitter. Those on the "far left" hate those described in that reply. Those are liberals, not leftists. Leftists typically actually focus on things that will actually promote change, actual praxis, instead of just "haha funny trump meme" or "guys we gotta be vegan!!!" or whatever
yeah japanese people on twitter probably act like that shy kid on your class, or like a 60 yo who thinks he's on live tv. honestly i don't understand how can they be so reluctant about their own politics, having such a flawed opressive system. i don't know man, i don't think i could handle living there, but maybe that was because i was raised to be myself and not some ideal worker or some shit.
@atur chomicz yeah sure but saying 'heuheuheu trump eats mc donalds heuheu his hair orange' isnt that funny, im all for criticizing people and making fun of them but they better be good... trump jokes and impersonations have become wayy overdone man...
lol i switched mine to Australia a while back and was surprised it was almost no different than the US. People hating their politicians, morons complaining about having to wear masks and their rights, etc., etc.
@Creamy Avocado I can't say for sure, since i don't know much about history so far, but from what i know it's not exactly a problem of conservatism - it's a problem of the times in general. It's only recently that people stopped being so bloody. Sure, the ideas of humanism were born quite a long time ago, but both civillian and government actions at the time were really bloody - no matter the ideology or who was doing it.
Even though what they’re doing is extremely transparent, Arby’s social media posts are legit as fuck and I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into the artwork for it.
How the hell do u make such good content. Seriously, keep up the great work dude. I recently started watching ur vids, and have enjoyed every single one. Literally every single one has been at least a 9/10. All of the topics that u discuss are original, and you always have an interesting point of view that helps me think about certain issues. The music choice, editing, script, and overall video quality shows how much effort you put in to each video. It's nice to run into a youtuber who values quality over quantity here and there. Hope to see more great content from you in the future.
The Twitter checkmark is literally just the Twitter smug club and it always reminds me of that South Park episode where everybody's driving a prius and smelling their own farts from wine glasses
I try not to go too deep into the rabbit hole, but I use it for Nintendo Switch screenshots and captures since I don't wanna annoy my family on Facebook with constant posting of video game stuff.
I don't know any Canadians that use it either. I;ve had an acc since just after it launched and I've tried to get interested in many times it but always quickly 'nope' out of it.
@Vinny Vince Dunno. It's hard to make an opinion about a person when the only thing you know is that they used some social media. I don't even know who you are or for how long you used it, what you liked on it, what didn't, how frequently, et cetera.
8:00 This is an excellent point in 2020 where you have Chinese diplomatics running around on the site, fully verified and saying some of the most stupid and hateful shit as part of the whole wolf warrior diplomacy deal.
Oh my god this video is fantastic. The amount of effort put into research is one thing, but then it's all packaged in this incredibly unique style that always makes me laugh with it's quick reference to old classic viral videos
I saw your name in my subscriptions list and remembered the good old YTP days, is really nice you’re still around, getting bigger and bigger as time passes. All the best man! :D
"and so people with anime profiles pics shall burn and demolish everything impure in their internet, letting entire companies burn in the flames while they stop and watch some victory hentai..."
Considering it's the Twitter mob, if they actually did something to Skai Jackson, they would've assumed that it was racist or something retarded like that, completely disregarding the context of the situation
If I can take a moment to state the obvious, the verification mark on twitter exists purely for propaganda purposes. There are many, many people who will put genuine trust in what an account they've never seen before says just because it has a blue checkmark, or "MD", "PhD", etc. It might function as a monetization tool within the brand, commercial landscape of the website, but out there in the much bigger and populated political side of it is clearly used for propaganda purposes. The fact that I don't have to specify where the bias leans for you to know, should tell you enough. They don't really try to hide it either, unless they're pleading and kvetching about the sec.230 privileges that they're flagrantly ABUSING.
The only reason I use Twitter is 1. to follow a handful of YouTubers I like, and 2. to follow account that post paintings from my favorite painters. And I use it about once every other week at that
Yes, at this point 4chan (excluding /pol/ because it's just Twitter except without the cancelling and more racism) is a better mode of intelligent discussion than Twitter
@Awesome Sauce Based. /pol/ is a great board as long as you know what threads to look for. It's the perfect example of a gold nugget buried in a pile of shit.
El Zachacharino opinions are embraced on 4chan. people can literally insult you and you can insult them back and call them some mean shit without some kpop stans dog piling on you saying you’re transphobic for saying “bruh” it reminds me of the old internet when it came to just being mean but opened af. Its funny as shit and is very entertaining to see people like internet historian really log all the funny shit they do.
I expected a video ranting about certain verified users, but was pleasantly surprised by the topic, as well as the high-quality editing and extensive research
I remember the first time this cesspit of a website ever came into being and seeing my buddy go all nuts about how "David Beckham just followed me!" Thinking to myself, "Yup, this fucking bullshit ain't for me." Never created an account since. And I'm glad as ever.
@Space Duck He ain't wrong though, happy I left it before I got drawn into an irritating argument, but that was years ago now so I don't even remember setting it up all that clearly either.
To think a few months ago i wanted to be a twitter artist lmao, instagram was way more welcoming and offered an easier way to just connect with more people
If you’re using twitter for current events you’re gonna have a bad time, now using it to interact with a smaller group that share all share a hobby can be a great time
I deleted my Twitter 4 years ago and It has been my smartest decision in my life up to this point. By far the most overrated platform on this planet, such a waste of time...
This is a nerd city level informational video. This is quite literally gonna help a ton of people, Emp Lemon doing a better job that a literally billion dollar corporation.
Emp: "You can only be three moods on twitter; smug, passive agressive, and..." Me: "Horny, definitely horny." Emp: "unintelligible rage." That's also true.
He got suspended because he said Twitter users with less than 100 followers, but over 10k posts, should be on either sewer slide or terror watch lists. They hated EmperorLemon, for he told the truth.
@Frank B he tweeted that Twitter users with less than 100 followers, but over 10k posts, should be on either a s*icide or terror watch list. Somebody reported Lemon's tweet, probably because they felt salty.
I don’t understand how Twitter isn’t counted as a publisher.
1.) You can disable the ability for people to comment (that also includes the ability for the person tweeting to only allow specific people to reply to the tweet), not really public, sounds like what a publisher does, it can restrict access for people to change the “work” (aka the website itself or the comments). 2.) They acted as if verifying an account is an endorsement of that account’s words or actions, and if they claim not to, and they actually believe that, they wouldn’t have removed a verification mark from someone’s real account unless they find out that account isn’t the real account for that entity. Any other instance is overstepping the purpose of the verification mark and proving you believe that verification is an endorsement, which means you don’t apply as a public form as Emp explained. 3.) There have been many cases of banned accounts with no official reason or seeming out of nowhere bans other than political affiliation or even worse, actions occurring outside of the form, which should immediately remove any protection of Twitter as a “public form” and it should they should held countable as a publisher. As a public form, political affiliation is no legitimate reason for banning and treating it as so by restricting access to the form is a job of a publisher, they don’t give you an actual reason they just say “Twitter rules”, if the action was so bad and rules were they for good reason, why not explain what was done wrong to make it clear to others or even the user in the future? And I don’t think so have to explain the last one why it should remove access to protection but here we go, banning an account for actions committed outside that account (unless the account is used to endorse or coordinate the actions committed by users of that community, this part really for only accounts that represent a community, aka left and right extreme group like ANTIFA and the other right one, United Boys, I think that’s the name, that coordinate rallies and marches that THEY KNOW are going to lead into violence) is wrong, If Ted Bundy somehow had Twitter account and posted before this death (Just imagine stupid blog stuff and showing off food he isn’t going to eat) and after that said nothing but his DOB and DOD, it’s wrong to ban that account as it hasn’t broken any “Twitter rules”, the person who ran it just so happen to a... murder a bunch of women, so being it, that’s not your responsibility to ban the account, the account hasn’t done anything wrong that broke the rules, and if they did, they would be admitting they were a publisher and take responsibility all the actions and words of every account if they feel the need to restrict people beyond the restrictions of a public form.
0:58 The internet in nutshell. It takes like five or more years for people to finally stop hating you even if you learned from your mistakes and willing to change.
I really like how this guy manages to take a topic which is typically a non-mainstream topic and turns it into the topic of the day.

Have you considered that people can use a website without any expectation of "moving up"?
I see Twitter as one of the most widely-used networks with which people from around the world have a semblance of a chance of connecting with some of their favorite creators. To me, that's the point. If there were an alternative to Twitter that banned any sort of automated or non-personal usage of it (bots, corporate accounts, etc.), that might just be the best option.
Simple fix. Multiple public figures get together for an organized event where one person impersonates each one and every public figure threatens to sue, all public figures saying "I told you this would happen, I tried to get verified multiple times before, people can get swatted and/killed over this".
twitter is only good for posting and following art. theres alot of really talented japanese artists who use the site, and the only thing they post is their drawings and pictures of their food.
i WISH the rest of the world used twitter like they do
Even then, being a new artist on the sites is very difficult to get noticed. Twitter cropping is the bane of every artist and the algorithm barely promotes us since it promotes more comments that likes which many artist don't have in their pieces. Many big artists coordinate art shares every now and then for comments because they know the struggles of getting traction from the very bottom
@promessa_ex Pixiv these days is really just Japanese DeviantArt tbh, at least in terms of the massive amounts of nonsensical shipping and bizarre fetish art.
@Fun Guy Instagram is garbage for any sort of visual art because of their absurd compression and low image resolution, plus the fact that you can't download images without resorting to third party tools. As a photographer, editing a picture to post it on IG is a waste of time, because the compression will fuck it up beyond recognition.
@Creamy Avocado Absolutely. The cancel culture on Twitter is absolutely maddening. You can be a literal child, who made an edgy joke a year or two ago and suddenly get doxxed by those people.
Yeah. I use Twitter exclusively to look at art, animation news, dogs, and posting my dumb shower thoughts. I try to avoid politics like the plague but somehow it always ends up leaking into my feed. It's honestly unavoidable
Art is the only good reason to use twitter, but twitter is absolute dogshit for artists. The format is unintuitive, there's a four-piece limit on posts, you can still only use 280 characters on a post, and it's hard as hell to catalogue/archive these posts. Still, most artists have no other alternative, and it fucking sucks.
Green Gale Productions Literally, new artists are seen as scum by the twitter algorithm. I just use discord to post my art to communities where I know I won’t get bashed for liking something lol
i just went there porn, left because i was getting political. seriously, twitter has some type of thing from the government to see if people can go insane with politics.
@Green Gale Productions yeah, tumblr was alot more art friendly with stuff like no absurdly short character limit, being able to post up to 10 images, and the tags to make it really easy to backtrack through an artists work.... though sadly that site was infested by brain dead idiots waaay earlier than twitter ever did. and that made it very unappealing for artists. and the porn purge from last year (or was is it 2 years by now?) was the nail on the coffin
@Creamy Avocado we could also just try and kick the sjws out of there also that nessa one was from merry weather I recommend his other comics they are funny
just clicked on your acc from this comment and idk what the situation is now but i just want to tell you that you should start posting on your yt again. your animations look really good and it sucks to see something so full of passion to go to waste because of all that progress you lost.
As an artist I've been debating for the past year whether or not to join twitter partially because most other sites aren't as popular and largely because most of my favorite artists migrated there. At this point I think I'm better off just bookmarking their twitter accounts and checking in periodically.
Pretty much this. I found out about a JP artist named Soeda Ippei that did work in Fire Emblem Heroes that posts art on Twitter often. The guy's a genuinely talented artist who even teaches art. I highly recommend checking his works out.
Literally any other art hosting site is better than twitter. It's interface is shit for browsing art. It can take hours to go through someone's art. The media tab helps a little if the person just upload their art. but that doesn't happen.
Twitter, in my eyes, is only good for following sports networks. That's it. I don't even use Twitter. I have an account but I rarely go to it and when I do it's to be a masochist--I've been called a bot and a russian hack. Or was that Instagram? Instagram is just as bad.
It's not even good for that, honestly. Twitter's whole format is horrid for any art older than a few weeks, especially if the artist likes to retweet at all.
@Jaime Daniel Hernandez Ríos Preach it. I've been a twitter artist for four or five years and I get NO attention outside of my three friends on there...
Verification is exactly that. Verifying you are the real public figure and not a fake. At least that’s how it started. People really blew it out of the water. I think instead of a blue check mark it should be something more subtle to identify them as that person. Don’t know what it should be but hopefully it will lead to less people thinking the blue check mark means you’ve made it as a public figure and having people worry about it.
If Twitter actually saw this video and thought about it I’d be very surprised. They’re probably so in their own echo chamber that they’d never even google criticism about their bs website.
Wow only a week after uploading this video twitter removes verified accounts. Not the checkmark they just had to remove their posting privileges after every verified account got hacked.
Every time a question gets brought up about why Twitter users reacted in such a way over something, just refer back to the first couple minutes of the video.
The problem with EmpLemon videos is, that I start out not caring (about pro wrestling, YouTube copyright or thumbnails etc) but being entertained and sometimes caring (hbox) about people and issues.
Wow thank you so much for repeating what the youtuber already has said, but hey I can't blame you, you didn't achieve your end goal of getting those likes.
I never thought about the part where Cowbelly says "you should probably have your face as your profile picture" until now, and that does make a lot of sense when you look at who's verified and who isn't. For example, there is a group on YouTube called "the Misfits," and all of them are verified on Twitter with the exception of one member, who is known for never showing his face at all. It's a pretty stupid rule, but at least its an easy thing to fix.
This is the most cursed string of comments I’ve ever seen. It really turned into an argument about the morality of porn from arguing about colors. I hate it.
I should probably explain myself. About a day before I wrote my comment, I coincidentally decided to figure out what color is the opposite of Pornhub Orange. Since that information was fresh in my mind, I decided to post it here.
I never knew that. According to the color wheel, blue and orange looks exactly the same position. If this happened, maybe YouTube "play button logo" have inverted color scheme as 4Chan's "clover logo".
To be fair, not everything has to be done for monetary gain. Sometimes people just like arguing over social media. I don't understand it, but that's what some folks like. All in all, social media is ridiculous, and I am seriously considering going off the grid to get away from all this horseshit.
I find its fun to look at cars that car brands present and watch funny videos from accounts dedicated to daily posting them. It is also useful for gettings announcements from games' devs or events' organizers.
How to keep sanity while having Twitter account: Step 1: Just search hentai Step 2: finish and exit the app, then back to your daily life Step 3: In the next day, repeat step 1 and 2
If I'm being completely honest I really do look forward to every video you make Emp your videos are really well made and pretty entertaining I've been watching since ever 2012 basically I just want to say keep up the good work man
I always looked at Reddit as being Comment Section: The Site. I always looked at Twitter as being nothing more than a bulletin board for celebrities and SJW's who think anyone cares about their opinions.
Thank God. Someone who says what I have to continually say on every video that features people with a following. "No average working-class people use twitter." Facebook has 10x's the usefulness, not that it's without sin and gluttony.
@Lilac Rain Emplemon is really good with making content that looks visually appealing. His bright green-purple aesthetic is really pleasing for the eye and catches your attention very quickly, which is why you can watch a 40 minute video of his and not get bored. Not to mention all of the Simpsons footage spread throughout the videos, that when combined with that green aesthetic, gives a really bizzare and acid-like feeling, like you're having a fever dream.
"Twitter is the comment section of youtube but the site is entirely made of it" <= i cant say it better except that at least the comment section of youtube can be edited and its far more difficult to dig in the past of someone to target him taking his out of context saying to destroy his life
With all the talk in the comments about 4chan, it amazes me how prevelant it still is. 4chan is the yang of the internet, and it needs an equal and opposite yin to continue. First it was facebook, then it was reddit, then it was tumblr, and now it's Twitter. All of these wanted to be respected by the internet, but they have since fallen from grace. 4chan was never looking for respect, and it has stayed that way, in a twisted sense making it respectable.
1. Be famous or a reporter 2. Be company that advertises a lot on Twitter 3. Become part of a youtube network that will get your verification 4. Just pay $6,000 for the checkmark
Recently, popular Minecraft youtubers such as Technoblade and Dream have been verified, but don't fall into the category. What other condition could have been fulfilled?
He got verified because he was pretending to be a presidential candidate and then twitter found out and immediately unverified him. It kind of makes sense, but it doesn't make the main policies any less inconsistent or greedy.
10:54 You know you're doing something wrong when people think you're worse than the CEOs of Sears, Macy's and General Electric and sharing a "worst CEO" list with the CEO of Wells Fargo... (I don't have any money as my SSI gets dumped into the rent and the recent bailout money went into advance payment for bills but my roomate is with a credit union)
I had a Twitter account for about 3 years and now, they permanently blocked me because they thought I was a robot and I can’t identify myself because I have no phone address...
Verification should be a process initiated by the user. Anyone should be able to go through a verification process and get a blue checkmark. That would cut down on impersonators and protect everyone who wants the extra protection.
Social media is not intended to work as a community, anyways. Their objective is to create communities by bringing people together.
That's exactly why I think Twitter is such a violent and bitter place. On Twitter, you can meet new people every day of the year, but you can never create or become part of a community.
The whole format attracts the lowest common denominator because it's all mindless consumption. All forms of interaction are dwindled down to short quips and unfinished thoughts. The population that primarily interacts on twitter are the worst because the site is set up that way for it. People who don't have attention spans or complete thought are the ones that find the best time on twitter because it is made for them.
@HailHonkler And that's why I love it. At least from the memes I've seen come from the site, I can conclude the place is capable of making me feels some sort of positive emotion!
@DashN Depends which reddit you are on. Youtuber reddits are especially chill I've noticed compared to twitter. Other parts of reddit can be a nightmare though, I'll admit.
Uh oh. Brace yourselves for the fallout. Start prepping now. Buy canned likes before they run out, and construct a cancellation bunker. Stock up on hollow point redpills and armor piercing facts
Youtube also no longer will verify creators. They quietly went back on it without announcing it. You have to be a brand or corporation to get verified on youtube CURRENTLY. They said they won't be considering doing so again for users until October. Rip
Disclaimer. I applied for verification in February and emailed Youtube and they said they do not verify creators anymore until further notice.
You know what, I think we should make some stink about it, to make them go back to verifying accounts. Don't know if it'll work, maybe if the outrage gets big enough, but we gotta try.
(On a sidenote, all those various brands/corporations sticking themselves everywhere and trying to get absolutely everything for themselves are starting to get on my nerves. Furthermore, YouTube itself doesn't have a good excuse for that other than their standard beating around the bush, and saying that "we're not verifying accounts at the moment, because blah blah blah".)
@pnyhmsmx Why is that, exactly? Honest question. I don't understand why Silicon Valley is apparently such a hive mind. You'd think that at least some successful people would have differing opinions.
For the love of God people ditch these sites. Did you see them ban all those people the other week on multiple sites? These supposedly different companies all act in unison . They're all the same company essentially. The biggest monopoly in the world
Homie your page has been dead since you quit ytp. You were honestly the greatest. The best one on the internet by a long shot. You had a gift man, and you threw it all away.
The weird thing is that you hear from people wanting the checkmark and not having it all the time, then at some point a lot of people get verified on the same day and then it just stops for months until the next wave of verification comes along.. Really weird to see
It's like one of my favorite YouTubers has been saying for years: If you're on Twitter, get off it. If you're not on Twitter, stay away from it. You'll make yourself happier that way.
I wasn't on Twitter for years then caved in realizing how much I was technically losing (zero social media presence etc) I still want to be a content creator and Twitter is pretty much the only thing people will look at for promotion and updates. Trust me, I've tried promotion on other sites for years and it isn't merely as effective as on Twitter.
There's also the fact that with Tumblr dying and with most art/forum/SMs dying there isn't really much social networks for art except on Twitter. Tumblr is at least better now since there's no longer a toxic community, but the moderation is still somewhat lackluster and suffocating and is slowly getting as bad as Deviantart in how obscure it is.
I really wish I DIDNT have to use Twitter but this is coming from someone who has used alternative social networks for years. There's unironically no hope for the online art community until Pillowfort comes out and changes things.
I actually think the comment section on youtube is more reasonable than twitter. At least youtube comments don't try to cancel people, clout chase, witch hunt, spam fancams, ect
This is actually a greivous insult to the level of decorum on YouTube, here there is actually a fairly decent chance of getting reasonable long form discussion even alongside absolute shit shows.
I literally just read two people arguing over how shit unreliable the other person's gun must be for being an AK or an AR, and then ended up calming down and discussing the finer points of preventative maintenance.
Twitter is actually very useful for getting good images of Smash Custom stages without using the low quality pictures Nintendo gives you, other than it's practically useless.
90% of Twitter is exactly as you described it. What's worse is that the 10% that's actually decently enjoyable is near impossible to find. It's also annoying that it's still somehow the main way most creators get in contact with their fans despite there being far better mediums out there, and it's incredibly hard to navigate unless you're active on it because of how it mixes together a person's tweets, replies, and likes on their profile
Makes me wonder if it is possible to have a social media infrastructure that does not foster its own growth at the expense of the mental health of its users.
Twitter is like the Nintendo of social media. They know they’re too big to fail so they can get away with being as lazy as they want to be. They can shit out any poorly implemented feature/game, no matter how shitty, and people will eat it up and then thank them for it. Once they do that successfully a few times the bare minimum suddenly becomes their new standard. Just look at the success of literal shit like Animal Crossing New Horizons, Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Sword/Shield and perhaps the most overrated tech demo of the last generation: Breath of the Wild. This was mostly just an excuse to shit on Nintendo. I’ve never used Twitter.
“It just goes to show that the site has so little to offer that they stroke themselves off for adding features that already existed, should have always existed, and only don’t exist because of their own incompetence.”
Watching this video first made me upset at the lack of transparency and general incompetence, and then made me upset again when it reminded my that White Ninja isn't really around anymore.
I couldn’t understand Twitter until I found a small but active fan community for a semi obscure anime I like (not the froppy show lmao) it’s cool because we’ve built a little network of content creators and online friends just by making content and jokes around something we all feel passions about. Posting and retweeting art and animation etc. But the other parts of Twitter are just bleak, like you described.
If twitter is the mental asylum of the Internet then: . YouTube is the kindergarten show and tell of the Internet . And Facebook is the retirement home of the internet
I use twitter to look at cats and see what some of my friends are up to. When I log off for the day (I achieved the impossible) I feel happy and fine. But I do have this feeling of fear and hatred for everything and everyone
And even then with most of them you have to get through the artist’s massive amount of retweets, all of their radical personal opinions, and intolerable personalities before you find the porn.
I wouldn't call YouTube's verification system "equitable" because just getting to the point where you even can get verified these days is a load of BS. Just getting monetized these days is more of a chore than it used to be, as is staying monetized (I was demonetized for "duplication" a couple years after coming back from Zippcast and that break I took caused my channel to never be able to get enough views to meet the new criteria for monetization).
...than I have from 99% of verified Twitter journalists and media outlets. This EmpLemon feller knows his internet meta data meme-formation. I offer a symbolic green verification badge for quality & monetization. Hopefully you read past the clickbait comment headline. I love Emp Lemon videos. Always happy to see the notifications and intrigued to hear what the videos are talking about.
I recently use Twitter for sharing my stuff but after TLoU2 drama and bullshit, even the most Professional people forgot how to be a Professional and start rambling like 6 years old children who end the conversation with waa waa... I'm not kidding this is an actual conversation or I'm not sure this can call a conversation that I got into for neutral comment about the game.
Honestly I only use Twitter to have intelligent conversation about video games and comic book super heroes with people online and I use it sparingly, it has worked out well for me, but YouTube has always been my Internet platform of choice, even though I have been reading a lot of Reddit post recently since people have neat discussions about shows that I watch and games that I play.
I actually had to take a break from Twitter and even Instagram for how ignorant and toxic they are. It just ruins your mood when you're trying to have a decent time
That would just make them migrate to other sites. Don't destroy the mental institution man, they'll just roam free. Better to keep them there where we can ignore them
@TapDat52K it's kinda impossible, Especially for the size of something like YouTube or Twitter. Since, You will eventually need to use bots to curate them, and...... I don't think I need to finish my statement
Twitter for Hentai sounds like a site which should exist if it doesn't already. Hell, if PornHub wanted they could just make a full-on copy of Twitter all about porn in general and make tons of money.
@McFinnaPants Nhentai and HentaiHaven are better for full hentai and doujins but they exclude single pictures and 3d stuff, which is what Twitter, Pixiv, Reddit, Discord (sometimes), R34 (sometimes), and PH are better for.
Not hentai artist but the reason i don't leave twitter is because there's japanese artist who only post their work there, even famous artist from square-enix for example. It is also the way for me to know what my favorite artist have been up to. I don't like the digging through the Toxic Dump but it can't be helped.
Hopefully Elon Musk will actually make twitter what it was SUPPOSED to be, or not and just keep adding gas to the raging dumpster fire. Now I realized this video has been posted a year ago…
By removing the verified badges from people they dislike and making it harder to get a badge, they essentially turned it INTO an endorsement (which I suspect may have been their motive, but even if it wasn't. it's certainly intentionally kept the way it is for that reason).
1) Make a fake EmpLemon account. 2) Have the account say things that are in poor taste (but not ban worthy). 3) Write a bunch of emails to yourself stating that you are no longer supporting the patreon/etc to establish a monetary loss. 4) Sue twatter. It's cheaper for them to give you the damn checkmark than settle in court.
I really like this video, but for some reason I wish the thumbnail had a blue border given the title "Twitter Geographic". I'm OCD, I dunno. Keep up the good work!
Boy is it certainly interesting to come back to this after the admin controls got leaked and were shown to include a trending blacklist function and user protection.
the day i got permanently banned from twitter for allegedly inciting violence with an edgy joke about weebs, was probably the most healthy thing that ever happened to me, arguing with random people for the sake of arguing was my cigarettes, it's good to realise no one gives a fuck about me and thats OKAY. you know? if you're a twitter user you have no idea what i mean.
Many people would hit the 10 minute mark, take their extra ad and leave it at that. It's always nice to see someone go the extra mile and dig deep into this niche video idea.
EmpLemon is the best YouTuber because he actually provides a list of music in the description rather than other YouTubers playing vaguely recognizable songs that I have to spend hours pulling my hair out over to try to find before giving up in despair.
I personally found that the YouTube comment section is one of the better and more considerate common sections on the internet. People actually engage. People actually debate. People think. It's far better than anywhere else.
The complaint people have to it I think is based off of it and old style that doesn't exist anymore.
I wonder what percentage of people use Twitter just for art and NSFW, nothing else. I personally don't see how anyone could tolerate the mere use of the website for anything else.
Combined with this and the Matt Watson video, it genuinely seems that this former meme reviewer puts more effort into journalism than basically every online based outlet and 90% of MSM outlets. EmpLemon is the new muckraker.
@EmpLemon Some constructive criticism just because I like you: At 17:32 you intended to censor someone's name, but left it a bit too late. The name is visible for one frame and so the censor is useless. The reason you do the censor is due to privacy laws. So I thought I would just mention it, because I don't want you to get into any significant trouble for making that kind of mistake at the wrong times with the wrong names or something.
Twitter may actually be the worst social media site on the entire internet. I LITERALLY only have twitter because a single content creator I like only uses twitter as a social platform outside of youtube. We need the users to rise up and create Twitter 2. If enough people jump ship, maybe it'll get to them that they actually need to treat users like human beings, and not puppets.
"Twitter is like if you took the YouTube comments section and made that the whole website"
I feel this is semi-true. A better quote would be, "Twitter is like if you took the toxic people of the YouTube comments section and made that the whole website"
I've had perfectly good conversations with people on YouTube, but I wouldn't even fuck with Twitter. I just see it and all the toxicity just reminds me of what this website is like. The only non-toxic people you'll find are ones who are just on Twitter to support their favorite content creators/keep updated on their favorite content creators, the content creators, or the people in the comments of porn.
@Sangwoo Cho Well, porn comments hardly ever lead into arguing over truly divisive issues. If you hop onto a video for Pornhub or Hanime people aren't going to argue about the legitimacy or solutions to systematic racism.
They are there to talk about whether what they watched was good fap material or try to sway others from wasting their time.
On Twitter or Youtube people aren't allies. I have come across neo-nazi's who believe in the JQ, Stalin-apologists saying they are communist, and everything in between.
To me, Twitter is what Tumblr would be if it was as popular as YouTube. Funnily enough, I immediately noticed that Twitter grew exponentially in its toxicity when Tumblr users flocked to the site after the Great Tumblr Purge of 2018. Call it a coincidence.
@Alex Kennard It's not really a coincidence, Twitter proved to be a better alternate for posting nsfw stuff. Considering a popular amount of ex-Tumblr users were porn artists. Not just this type of group joining in, but also it's audience. Which makes more sense of the toxicity there.
At least the YouTube comments can be a good way for conversations and discussions on something but there are times when some comment trolls are trying to start a flame war, without realizing the fact that the users are mostly people too. Using your entitled opinion to insult everyone, just because everyone like something you don't like, is considered to be a bad idea.
Or even worst, spam bots are putting links and some unusual texts that leads you to a dangerous rabbit hole (except Rick Roll which it's totally harmless) just for the sake of attention spans.
ngl i think the only "social media" i use as of now is Youtube, even Discord became toxic, or it has been since (coming from a user since 2016, it went to shit after 2018, just saying, and i deactivated my account because it took too much time from my life) and yeah i know this has nothing to do with the video but social media was a mistake, it could have been different, but n o, it's like the world really ended in 2012, after that social media just became a shitshow (especially in 2015 beyond my fucking god) yes im speaking this on a social media, i'm a hypocrite, attack me
Discord toxic? Maybe it's due to my increased insensitivity, but Discord is highly relient on the servers you are apart of. Twitter in contrast in inescapable toxicity.
@Lucas Fortes shitposting servers we're talking about. these are people who cant talk. barely speak. and actually have legit conversations. these people all they do is shitpost and level with mee6. and then spam "ok. yes. oh. no." responding like robots.
My own discord server is a fairly wholesome place even though we make a lot of edgy jokes. Meanwhile I know some discords that are FUCKED UP. There's one server that banned me several months ago and still shit-talks me. I've also seen some REALLY degenerate servers in the past. Its mostly about where you go.
I deleted my Discord recently. I speak from experience: the site is fucking INFESTED with degenerates and pedophiles. I had no reason to be there anymore. I contacted my close friends from there so that I could still talk to them via Steam, or for others we use Telegram. But for the rest all my social media's are dormant.
I remember I was a meme account on Twitter under the name, "Gary the Attack Helicopter" and I got into an argument with THE Thinknoodles. (Turns out he's a democrat by the way) That's my only experience with getting mad on Twitter because he had a checkmark and I didn't so he had thousands of people while I had one.
Most people that seem nice by their content are generally jerks on twitter. One time, I saw this family-friendly YouTuber who made smash content. I checked his twitter, apparently he never shuts up about politics and orange man bad. And he also retweets stuff with a lot of cursing. So yeah, found out he was actually a jerk when it comes to twitter
Removing porn from Tumblr was what killed the site. If you did the same to Twitter, i'd bet you a million bucks that the site would die overnight.
Also, it doesn't help that Twitter with its character limits and overall culture just isn't a suitable platform for discussing politics (and the amount of trolls and stans on there that wish to stifle conversation is fucking infuriating). I'd FAR more prefer that those people move to Reddit because at least on Reddit people would be able to fully express their ideas without the need of character limits and other dumb horse shit, and the media would actually ignore Reddit since the President doesn't have a huge presence on there while boomers like my dad wouldn't have a reason to leave Twitter and would probably enjoy his time on there more. As for the issue of how that would affect artists: all i can tell them is to adapt and to keep posting their SFW art on the site. You could easily lock NSFW stuff behind patreon paywalls.
Overall, we'd probably actually return to some level of normalcy that was present before the beginning of the Trump presidency, and we'd only have to worry about fighting the mainstream media as opposed to fighting the mainstream media & the Twitter Mob at the same time. I really just don't see why the mainstream media would side with Reddit, its way too decentralized and broken up due to the nature of subreddits.
That blue bird spits in the face of its poem and does not bring happiness. And seeing what it does to people, more than any other site I would love for Twitter to die.
"Post sfw on twitter, lock nsfw behind paywall" Do you like your porn to be free? Cause that's how you don't get it to be free. Not to mention it doesn't work, trust me, noone's gonna follow you if you never post actual porn if you're a porn artist. You'll get your small circle of followers on patreon keeping you afloat for a bit, but it'll shrink overtime until you don't have enough, and since you no longer have another platform to turn to you'll just fade into obscurity. I've seen quite a few examples of this. The best performance is achieved not by paywalling everything but by achieving a good balance between free and paid, which is more skewed towards free than you may think, the best performing artists, excluding few exceptions regularly post freebies and only keep some things paywalled, depending on the content it may range from 25% free 75% paid to 85% free 15% paid, but if you post nothing for free that people can use to discover you falling into obscurity is inevitable
Reddit will lock your posts and ban you for thoughtcrimes. You are entirely at the mercy of the subreddit mods without any right to appeal. You can make your own subreddit but it's only a matter of time before it gets banned. Not surprising since Tencent owns it.
Eeh this is debatable and I'll be honest, going to Reddit is kind of a terrible idea for multiple reasons. I think a better idea is to take advantage of the wave of new 2020 social media that is here/coming like MeWe,Okuna,NewTumbl, Pillowfort, and Bobaboard and use that instead.
@DawnPraiser you know, smaller subs are not bad in my opinion. stuff like insert band circlejerks are not only good for lighthearted silly jokes, but also honest and laid back discussions on semi-serious/serious topics because of the nature of the subs. all of it goes down once it gets popular enough (okbuddyretard for example [not that good to begin with but it got much worse]). the same goes for normal communities like footballmanagergames, that has had both good memes and nice people helping each other with a pretty complex game. stuff like dankmemes or 'special' subs like politicalhumor goes without saying. the bottom line: yes, I'm the reddit expert and no, I'm not proud
Twitter verification is sort of like how Vidme verification was but without the restricting basic functions of the website to anyone who wasn't verified and the process of getting verified is way worse on Twitter.
Twitter is such a toxic cesspool. I’d rather try to have an intelligent conversation on 4chan than ever touch twitter beyond just news and announcements from the few people I follow.
4:43 It's truly a testament to the idiocy of the residents of Springfield that Homer was able to impersonate crusty without masking the few strands of hair on his head.
Tbh I don't really care about the checkmark thing, I only use twitter to see art, and it works pretty well, except when things like the NFTs appear, then it goes all downhill because everyone is paranoid of their art getting used without their permission.
I once posted a picture that had the word "Forbes" on it. Within seconds, a Forbes journalist with a verified account and over 200k followers followed, then unfollowed me.
@Migolas I was told that there are bots on instagram who follow people and unfollow them after some time. The reason being that these people following back, so you get more followers, without in the long run actually following people you're not interested in. I supposed, this might work on twitter aswell.
@Punocchio I have had random people with even thousands of followers starting to follow me at random without liking or retweeting even oneof my replies, and I almost never post anything, just reply. After I check a second tiem, they've already unfollowed me.
@Succubastard 101 This happened to me, but on YouTube. The only difference is that account is still subscribed to me after over a year. I'm still wondering how it found me because back when it subscribed, the only people who were subscribed to me at the time were my friends.
Really wanna see EmpLemon make a video on what a treacherous snake Ethan "H3H3" Klein is. It seems like he's a good guy but this dude actually starts off a lot of drama since 2016 and portrays himself as the gopd guy sorting things out while he started it all.
I thought the first minutes were just a setup for a twist and a more neutral discussion after that, but nope. And I can sort of see how EmpLemon came to that position on it. I neither have his connections nor knowledge concerning this, but I am concerned about the quasi-public lynching that's going on there each day. Sure, people there aren't lynched to death (thankfully!) but the mindset of the people executing the lynching isn't any different from the mindset people had more than 100 years ago, when lynching was an actual thing. And I think that's as sad as it is dangerous. Literal 100-year retards given way more power as a crowd than they should ever be able to hold.
if people keep seeing stuff like twitter verifications and youtube ads as "endorsement" then it would become one. personally i dont believe that the people making the ads even care about the product, more so are the people playing them and the places the ads end up. ads never fit into context and are designed to be out of context, that is why ad placements in movies can be so jarring when you notice it.
also this is a big one but who said that any big company endorses anything but themselves, of course they would endorse other products but that is only when money is exchanged for said endorsement.
as an outside person who does not use twitter I just want to say that if the twitter tick is a pointless sign of endorsement, and a failure of a system of validation, AND IT CANNOT BE BOTH.
I'd say that more so describes Reddit. At least here and on Reddit, you can have intellectual conversations (as rare as they may be). What "public discourse" can you have within 140 characters?
I dont agree with that at all. Twitter is way worse than youtube comments. I find many channels comment sections to be really deep and meaningful. If you see toxic YT comments as regularly as it is on Twitter then youre probably watching a shitty channel with a shitty fanbase.
Twitter has a legitimate use as a networking platform and for people like celebrities and YouTubers to make mass announcements that all of their fans will see (I.e. “Shows cancelled tonight, will be pushed back to tomorrow.”).
It could theoretically exist as a debate platform, where people share their opinions and conject as to the nature and validity of said opinions. But it doesn’t. And I doubt it ever will.
24:19 I'm pretty sure that's a safe harbor violation, it's notification, takedown AND PUTBACK. Although, the lawyer I contacted to sue Nelvana for removing a teaser clip for Bakugan Abridged one-shot I've been procrastinating on refused to do anything about YouTube refusing to restore the video but YouTube does have a counter-notification processes and I am guessing Twitter doesn't. I'm also guessing that Twitter doesn't even fully comply with the takedown part.
I used twitter for 4 or more months, it isn't just filled with hateful people, if You're not already, it makes You hateful. Twitter is a regret of mine.

Literally this. There’s something spiritually harmful about it. Sometimes you get so wrapped up you don’t realize what you say and what you read. It brings the worst out of most people which is why it’s the source of most cancel culture controversies, yet another thing that people get wrapped up in before you realize that you ruined lives.
@Daniel G twitter is a place for people liberals, (who get mad for having a different opinion) celebrity's getting cancelled for so.something they did years ago, and big brands
@Daniel G I once argued with someone on twitter for 4 or 5 days, I don't even remember why, We just kept jabbing at each-other 'cause We had different opinions. I quit twitter after having a mental breakdown. I kid You not!
i was on there for as long as you were and i also discovered how shitty it was. honestly, when the only good thing you have on there is a few rare gems and lot of hentai, i think you should fix your site more.
@dapperthanMax I agree, hentia in My book is bad thing, which makes twitter worse. Porn is super addictive, and I wish people would stop saying it's good thing. It's harmful to Your brain, it reduces motivation and feelings of reward.
I agree. I use it just as a stockpile for my art, and EVERY TIME I visit it out of curiosity I see endless bickering, cynicism, and people fishing for social credit. It’s really warped my mindset and made me far more insecure and cynical about my life, and I wish I never got into it. Hey, at least the animal-centric accounts seem to be good. There’s a bat one that just shares plush bats and motivational quotes. That’s nice.
@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition I heard recently that some guy doxed His mother for social credit 'cause She wished Him happy birthday. It's odd how many people just use it bicker, even if They have a life, They value twitter over it!
It should also be said Drag Queens get verified on Twitter and Instagram VERY VERY quickly. Especially ones who get on Rupauls drag race or Dragula. Or ones with Online notoriety like Juno Birch.
As soon as I heard the phrase "Twitter is a mental institution" I thought to myself "Count me in!" and almost went to the site to jump head first into the waste pile. But as the video continued the site sounded less like a insane asylum and more like Dante's Inferno. No degeneracy is worth that. Until I see a detailed map of Twitter's topography on what areas are free from divine intervention I'll wait a few years for the authority to collapse in on itself.
@Zorro9129 eh, anymore, I find that 4chan is becoming less and less fun to interact with. People get heated over there too, but it's definitely better than twitter.
Back in like 2011 I used Twitter to actually talk to a few celebrities. No one TOO big. Edgar Wright is probably the most notable, and we discussed the clackers used in movies. It was neat. Twitter doesn't resemble that site anymore. Especially the last couple months, it's been quite a war. The good ol' potus isn't helping, and I'd argue has made things worse. Twitter is just bizarre overall though. I don't know why anyone uses it anymore. It doesn't do anything that literally any other social media doesn't let you do, and what it does do, it does worse. Although, Facebook's promotion system is absolute garbage. It's as if corporatizing societal discourse destroys it or something, but who knows... I'm just an unverified account
The internet in general isn't the same place as it was back in 2011. I consider 2011 the last good year for the internet. Everything's been going downhill since then. Politics has seeped into everything and internet censorship is to the point where social media sites feel like the internet version of North Korea. Everything's just so clinical and devoid of fun nowadays thanks to SJW outrage mobs holding the reins and steering the culture in the direction they want it to go in, not the direction everyone else wants it to go in.
PlotTwist actually the thing I hate most on the internet is when people blame literally anything on these super vague SJW’s like who are these sjw’s that are ruining the internet cause I’m not seeing them.
We're headed into the Kali Yuga where petty authority figures, the type you find on Twitter, run society. The new internet sucks but it's mainly because of the outside world imposing its grip on it.
@Mrs Derka but you see, the seething hatred for him is causing anti-SJWs to get more pissed off at SJWs, which leads to both sides wanting to put the internet into their favor. He's not directly to blame for it, but the outrage mob made such a big hoopla about him, it's only made things worse.
I mean Donald Trump has been on Twitter for years, well before he became the president and he's used it the same way since so I don't know how much blame he can take for it. I feel like the general audience of Twitter is really bad but the average person was occasionally making constructive use out of it.
@The Breakfast Menu because social media (of all forms) has brainwashed people away from rational discussion and into hyperbolic, out of context thinking that appeals to emotion. This applies to both the right and left
@The Breakfast Menu mate, there are tons of people/users who also made Twitter worse. Journalists being lying psychopaths and actively consume and share orange man's tweets and share false information so we people can be reactive shits online they have much blame too. political commentators or so called activists going on cancel brigades and making companies bend to their will. "Our burger president is at fault here" is what I can interpret tbh.
@Alien Jack I just see it as rabid political activists on any side of any spectrum. They're ALL cancer. That's not including the Corporations ruining the fun
@Alien Jack Skaijackson doxxed a kid once, That one covington kid got death threats and people harrassing him and calling his school to get him expelled.
If anyone is curious about my Twitter experience, it’s nothing much but art, bots, some communities, and the occasional idiot. There used to be a big population of Parody Accounts, and I think this was when Twitter was at one of its best. Actually, it comes to the point that most of the tweets I found in my feed are bots.
Today is July 15 of 2020, a day in which i could tell that im glad that I don’t have to be restricted, due to some BTC hackers on my Checkmarket Twitter account :^)
I like how in this video, Emp says; "They openly mock how they deliberately neglect their users. It's all just a big joke to them. Y'know, maybe more people would actually use this site if the management didn't treat the average user with utter contempt." And then literally less than two hours after this video is released, the official Twitter account makes another post doing the exact thing Emp talked about. They mocked the calls for an Edit feature by saying the platform would get it if everyone wears a mask. A compound joke, both insensitive to the world climate with the pandemic going on and how people have the audacity to believe wearing a mask is akin to being muzzled or unable to breathe, and then also yet another entry into the long history of Twitter's management not giving a damn about what their users really want, and making fun of them. It seems nobody forwarded this video to them. Oh well.
Bruh, if you forwarded this video to Twitter and they actually gave a shit and watched it, they'd just suspend Emp's account. These people cant take criticism.
I get the frustration, but this is all pretty inevitable, even now that Elon bought the company, I wouldn't expect things to change.
Social media needs moderation, which is always a problem because you have lots of users making lots of posts and little revenue coming from any individual post. Algorithms help, but smart users looking for attention can always find ways to game them, so a human has to be the last line of defense. At Twitter in particular, you get politically relevant content on a site that's become like a public utility, has millions of posts per day, and yet is ostensibly free... of course they end up sucking up to major businesses with ad revenue at stake, and of course they ignore people with no cash in the game. There's no other way to run it profitably, and if you made it a public utility somehow, you'd have to raise money for it which would piss off voters or demand a per-user fee, and that would lead people to substitute a different platform.
It's worse but similar to Youtube, which demonetizes for bad reasons, but you can't be surprised at this: imperfect algorithms mean the creator has to appeal everything to an actual human, which takes forever and in some cases alters the content to get around the censorship. They have no choice. They can't let you post whatever, but they also can't watch every video filtering for sneaky messaging or unusual types of extreme content. I dislike basically everything about Twitter, but like Youtube, I sympathize with the need to run the thing in a way that makes it both usable and not alienating for most people, while the complaints from the smaller, less cashed-up users come off as navel-gazing and kind of childish.
Good video, thanks for the info, but cut them a bit of slack. Maybe the new ownership will solve a problem or two.
Primo Antonius wait when did they delete a tweet of his? I’ve only seen tweets get marked as misleading and have disabled replies, and there was a guy who suspended trump for a day in 2017, but I don’t remember a tweet delete
@Mechanomics Keep taking this attitude, you're the exact person everyone here is mocking. You are turning people away from your pestilent ideology in droves, and frankly, I couldn't be happier.
@̣ The CSA seceded and went to war with the union/US because they so badly wanted to keep slavery. They became enemies of the US which makes them traitors to their own country.
@Mechanomics yeah the confederates were traitors and rebels, and when they didn't win they became the Democrats and made the Jim Crow Laws as a way to continue oppressing African Americans.
But don't forget, orange man and republicans are the evil ones because they disagree with you. How dare those Nazis.
...or have a lot are willing to pay enough monetary compensation to twitter, alternatively if you threaten to file suit and twitter believes that there is a good chance of them loosing said hypothetical suit. The latter is probably the reason why politicians and to some extent public figures and brands get verified.
So in removing the verification, because people were complain they were endorsing these people, they started to endorse people? that is some screwed logic.
I've seen a post on a Tumblr that the Twitter Blue Checkmark is the Mark of the Beast. Considering who they verify these days, who knows? Perhaps it is.
@Arindam Awasthi Another big issue with twitter is the corporate side. Twitter is a corporation's paradise, and when those accounts are so heavily promoted, regular people and independent artists get drown out. Corporations can never seem to make it big on Tumblr (with the exception of Denny's). It's likely that it being a website full of broken code and communists helps keep it a safe haven from megacorps.
@cat ness you have a very solid point, and yes ive only seen corps and for some reason youtubers bitch and moan there, tbh when wendy's were going 'sassy' back in the day i expected them to do that 'wendy's? wendeez nuts' joke... opportunity missed... i havent been much of a tumblr user tbh, maybe its layout isnt too corp friendly maybe?
There is one reason I tolerate twitter and that’s the non political artist who keep there opinions to themself and just make art for fun They might be rare but there nice Also gimmick accounts but I think that’s a bit of a controversial opinion.
I feel like there should be a better site for artists, to also include the ones who make music. And gimmick / meme accounts are funny because they show how stupid the platform is set up to be.
That, Fun little joke tweets and content creators communicating with their fans are basically the only real reasons to use the site (and lewd stuff too I suppose).
It's essentially become Tumblr 2.0 at this point, not really that suprisng considering most Tumblr-ers migrated to Twitter.
The only reason I came back to Twitter is to just see ToeJam & Earl's official Twitter account, They never get political, and they feel like Actual human beings
Lazergurka - Smerlin everyone hates maps plane and simple we have been trying to get them out but you know Twitter (the site) is not doing anything about it
Umi ZoomR yeah they get political but like why bother why do we get so mad over something so small. It’s an opinion. They might scream about it but why make a big deal out of it at all. Honestly if they want to get out of character it’s fine. Just some of them go a bit overboard.
Btw, Instagram doesn't let you use their business stuff if you're not in the US /: So all you can hope for is to reach over 10k followers so you can embed links in stories for affiliate links. Ugh.
i've been suspended forever and unsuspended 3 times now because someone doesn't like me and keeps reporting me for impersonation and i can't do anything to stop it. after 3 times i'm constantly in fear of being suspended again because twitter support doesn't know what the hell they're doing. good website :)
26:02 That utter contempt for asking that question is beautiful, like how dare you actually want features on twitter! Lol JK fuck this horrible shitstain, blight, destruction of the free world, that is twitter, like how can a website do so much damage to the world?
judging by these mrbeast-stans with checkmarks posting automated comments on American TikTok (aka youtube shorts), getting a checkmark on youtube is far too easy. this is why we shouldn't even have checkmarks at all
My instructor at my polytechnic campus has a blue checkmark cause he used to work for ESPN as a sports broadcaster. I should ask him what the process is.
23:12 I wish that were true. I always see people bitching about verified YouTubers whenever one of them comments on a video now. No idea where it came from.
I'm barely a minute into the video and I can see our good buddy EMPLemon has about the same level of care for Twitter as I do. I already hit the like button, I think this is gonna be a good time.
I go on Twitter just to talk about Star Wars, actually the circles I’m in are generally pretty hype about most of Star Wars so it’s mostly us just enjoying Star Wars. Also I’ve made it so that most of my algorithm is just things about Star Wars so I see a lot less politics than most people though. That’s just me though, and that’s just me using Twitter for a VERY specific reason.
I still have Twitter to catch up with my favourite celebrities and content creators if they have new projects. Yup, definitely not talking to anyone there.
how to enjoy using twitter (for me) : follow people who keep things simple and use it for updates on things you are interested in. don't bother with any replies or really anything at all
It's pretty clear to me: people started viewing the blue check mark as an endorsement because twitter will take yours away for posting opinions that don't line up with thiers.
You know you dont have to follow people you dont like right? I use the site to follow creators i like for updates since its quick and easy and on occasion i find other creators through them on the site.
11:51 Reminds of Bubsy returning and egging on Sonic with even Mega Man getting involved even though the Mega Man Twitter wasn't like the Sonic and Bubsy ones. And then Bubsy falzing died a few years later... Again.... (I mean let's be honest, Bubsy peaked with the second game)
I hate stupid "hello fellow kids" shit from companies just as much as the next guy, but Tony the Tiger hoppin' in right on cue at 12:12 kinda made me chuckle.
I can’t tell what is worse, reddit, the hivemind where you get shamed on all of your posts for being a trump supporter, the hellhole which you describe. I think Twitter, but maybe reddit?
I genuinely am convinced twitter Is designed just to be confrontational. Like the amount of times I leave a comment that isn't an opinionated piece of shit to piss people off and people are like that's not what we do here 😒
I mean, its not that bad if you just follow japanese artists. Every time you go on your home page you're gonna see some good stuff delivered to your doorstep.
I literally don’t use anything besides YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, and if the show isn’t on Hulu or Netflix then I check prime video. Don’t have a twitter account, Facebook account, or any account besides YouTube and por-. If I one day all of a sudden decide that I want to upload videos and somehow get famous, then I might get a Twitter or Snapchat account. I mean I didn’t even use TikTok when it was popular.
Edit: Just remembered I have a Twitch account that I never use
I feel the idea of "verification=endorsement" was started by people like kumail Nanjiani, who said in tweets they were endorsing people like trump and Spencer, but then quickly deleted those tweets after facing backlash, think Chris ray gun did a video on it
I remember making an acc in Twitter,posted nothing and literally SECONDS later,my account got banned for no reason AT ALL I did fucking nothing and got banned for nothing,the website is pure jackshit
Nothing makes me feel old the same way twitter does. I really don't see the appeal at all. You throw out very short text message style posts and then what? You fight?
Twitter is like Rimworld planet; You can live peacefully and make popularity, but you will be attacked by cancel culture (or angry person) at any moment and it gets "stronger", the more popular you are.
Not to mention Youtube videos like this one; what exactly is Emperor Lemon doing right now if not, "sharing his opinion with the world"? -- not that I don't get what he's trying to say. There's a very clear difference in intent, competence, and integrity. There's just something about Twitter that radicalizes people and drives them off the solipsistic deep end, reducing them to little more than the mindless receptacles of political memes.
@A man of no reputation Oh that happens everywhere as well, you just dont notice it because the echo chambers dont bleed into eache other like on twitter.
I feel like Twitter is built for shitposting and art but is marketed as a discussion platform. The character limit isn’t good for discussion but is good for short little jokes and the retweet function is perfect for sharing stuff you like. I just wish everyone took it less seriously
Twitter is one of the worst platform I've every tried, got suspended few days ago cause I told a children to do his homework and not spending his all time on internet, and the kid is still not suspended for being toxic so much, bruh, twitter can't even do a verification application form cause they are lazy, my older account still not unbanned after doing 2 appeal and 30 days of wasted to wait
This video is the most factual series of statements ever spoken in the history of the universe. When the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs hit and one dinosaur said to another dinosaur this is going to really suck that statement was still not as accurate and factually correct as the statements in this video.
theres a couple product accounts were either the people in charge or the owners of the product use it like a personal shitposting acc, look at toe jam and earl
hey there emp i've just gone on a long binge of your channel after the hungrybox vid popped up on my radar and I wanted to let you know that because i am mostly only familiar with it through osmosis, every time i hear mario music in your vids it deals 5 psionic damage to me. ur vids are awesome thanks so much for all the hard work
twitter's fun if you use it for arts or games, I like to follow indie devs and 3d artists. There's also a lot of good memes, so I like browsing it before going to bed. I also kinda have to use it for PR, to advertise my game.
This is a great video and ultimately I think it'll be an important one. This video shows that Twitter's few attractive qualities are hollow and its' system as an outlet for the general public is irredeemable. All it'll take is one good flight of people to bring all the hatred of Twitter to the surface and videos like this one will cut it down to its' proper size and relevance. Awesome job.
I still don't understand de-verifying. If they are breaking tos, JUST FUCKING BAN THEM. Of course, the reason they do this is they don't want to lose any users, but still.
It'll be a matter of time before Twitter Family-Radios itself (a term I made up in regards to CEOs getting replaced by another with a different mindset. Replacement could be physical, like an entirely different person, or mental, like the same person changing their ways) :D
Dude. I feel you. I have been subscribed since he started doing 60 second meme reviews.
EMPs skills developed from POOPing, combined with his improved writing skills, and some tactful thinking abilities, has allowed him to make video essays on some of the most interesting topics.
And even if you disagree with an opinion he makes, he's coming from a place that wants to educate or continue the discussion on a given topic. He's come so far.
Data Juggler2020-07-07 23:17:49 (edited 2020-07-07 23:22:24 )
I see YouTube and Twitter digging their own graves. YouTube with censorship and Twitter's focus on brand's over people. People can go anywhere. I would never show my picture on the internet. Last thing I need is two of my ex's comparing notes "He told me he was astronaut also".
From my experience...it's interesting to see how the human psyche just fades on Twitter. Everyone acts like apes. Must be a side effect from using the site as I'm an idiot who does that as well.
It’s ironic that you see these huge internet celebs verified on other platforms but not twitter, but then I’ll see some random ass political activist from LA with 2.3k followers verified.
I created a Twitter in 2014 to follow Minecraft mobile news, didn't know how to use it properly, still don't know and I still don't wanna try All I see is toxic people fighting each other and "cancelling" other people on 2020 for a thing they posted in like 2009, so its trully uninvitational for me
I had various Twitter accounts over a one-year period until I finally deleted my last account and never looked back. Twitter is a garbage website. Unless you're a famous person or a company, you have no chance of succeeding.
I got verified on a website. And the website is very incompetent. (Not Twitter). this website has no idea what they are doing and pretend nothing is wrong. The day I got verified I was ridiculed or people sucked up to me. It’s literally not worth it to be verified on any website. Better to just build a good community and do ur best out there
Why are the phrases "A verified badge does not imply endorsement." and "Verification has long been perceived as an endorsement." inconsistent to one another?
That moment when my twitter feed is chock full of mecha, plastic models, waifus, and other thing other than this.....cancel culture-sjw-white knighting bullshittery. Oh and cats and raccoon, my feed are full of them
A kid at our school made a fake school account and somehow got it verified with like 76 followers? I never realized it was this hard, even carson isn't verified? Holy shit
The only social media I've ever tried out was youtube and reddit. I learned real quick that all of them are just trash. Youtube of course being the least amount of trash.
I once got a task to promote my community at twitter, but i have no idea how to use it, so i uninstalled twitter. Thank god now i dont need to be a part of cancel cultute.
I've been wanting to start a YouTube channel by myself or with an editor friend, but whenever I remember that the type of content I wanna make would hurt Twitter's feelings and get me banned after my first tweet really makes me not want to start a channel or having to join twitter. I'm considering discord, parler, gab, etc. But I'd still like to be able to be on Twitter without getting banned for my opinions.
Been there. I already backed down when I was wrong and recognised it, I saw other people do the same, it's not that rare in reality and most "arguments" aren't that heated or toxic, I'd say that most are pretty normal, it's just that you mostly remember the bad ones more (not to say that there aren't any, there are a lot more than irl). Youtube comment section isn't as toxic as people make it to be, or at least, toxic arguments aren't the problem (copy pasted like baits however definitely are and I want to gouge my eyes out everytime I see this stupid "nobody :" template, but this is at rant for another time). Twitter however, here we're talking about pure, unfiltered Tetradotoxin everytime you even look at it. Sometimes I ponder about all of the things I miss by not having Twitter, and this brightens my day
Youtube comments are comparatively unlikely to be arbitrarily hidden. The culture on the channels I like tends to permit free speech to a decent degree.
lol I was about to say you're a little unfair about twitter but then you mentioned using to "network as a content creator" and that is literally the only thing I use twitter for.
Fun fact: the reason there's no edit button is that Twitter was first concieved as an SMS-based social network, and since you can't edit texts, they didn't want to mess up those vibes. That's actually what Jack Dorsey said in the video Emp showed of him responding to questions.
It has nothing to do with YouTube and everything to do with monetization. Advertisers don't want their product advertised over an ISIS beheading video.
@Yonatan Beer With the strict rules these days that's unlikely. Before anyone could make a channel and start earning money from videos. Now you have to EARN monetization. Videos like that would get taken down pretty quickly.
because Youtube has to appease advertisers, not their own userbase. if Pepsi is shown before a video they don't like, then Pepsi may will inclined to remove ads.
@Xerxes Philea Right wing political videos tended to cozy up to Nazi stuff a bit less before Donald Trump won the election. Or at least such videos tended to fly under the radar more often. Although yes the naughty words thing is a bit ridiculous. This is the fucking internet in 2020 not Saturday morning cartoons. Hell kids curse more than adults any day. The banning of expletives is an ancient trend that needs to die.
@Yonatan Beer dont be dense, you think an add being played on any kind of contreversial video even raises an eyebrow to these companies? Its an excuse to get better add rates, nothing short of bankruptcy would stop advertisers going to youtube. The only people who make a fuss about that is the legacy media who hate the competition youtubers bring.
@LordPepsi no, just no. ive seen more impressive on roblox, a literal online lego game, than that pile of trash. also, who gives one about graphics any more in games? if thats the only leg your table can stand on, then thats pretty sad.
I'll always remember having a guy infer in a reply to a tweet I made that apparently since I have pretty much no followers, that apparently my opinion is meaningless.
Well gee bud, I guess since Logan Paul has 6.2 million views, his opinion matters more than Chuck Schumer, the US Senate Majority Leader, who has only 3.3 million.
I rarely go on that site now, most just doing so to like embedded tweets I like. Twitter reminds me too much of beer halls in Munich in the 1920s.
You won’t see this, but can we just appreciate how wonderfully written the script for this vid is! I just love how casual yet informational your videos are, it’s crazy how u went from YTP to just great content. Keep it up, love you work!💜
The reason i use twitter despite not being a youtuber is to browse art... that's it. The ui is suprisingly good for looking at tons of art. But i would never use it to discuss anything thats just stupid.
Other than networking, I mostly stick around on Twitter for the artwork, memes, rollplay accounts, no-context accounts, a few creators I really enjoy. Everything else though....eh.... I equate Twitter to family dinners. You love the art and memes, but it all falls apart when politics come in.
Interesting. I do not use Twitter anymore since my account got suspended back in 2016, but I cam say being off the site has decreased the frequency of melancholic or depressive feelings.
I only use twitter to follow content creators of celebrities, since they seem to give out the most info compared to other sites. Parody accounts are great too since everyone is looking to get triggered
Ok I managed tobe lucky enough to find a small community of artists who mainly do Fortnite Fanart and they're actually not that bad. But if I even look at a single post somewhere else, its like hell.
Work in journalism, I have a freind who works for a small local newspaper and has posted one of his articles to twitter in over 5 years and he's been verified.
Just want to point out how topical your posts have been recently. First, Operation: Red Herring goes up and suddenly we see a new ad-pocalypse scare. Then you post this video two weeks before people who were verified got hacked. What's next? Whatever it is I hope it's as amazing as all of your other documentary style content.
Remember when Tumblr was the greater evil. Those were the days of the great Tumblr & 4chan war. IMO this cancel culture sounds like something Tumblr would do now.
I still use tumblr and honestly, the sites become a lot more tolerable since the porn ban. a lot of the shitty people there said "this sucks. i hate tumblr. im moving to twitter" and they did. so whats left is still very far left, but not as outwardly batshit and has one of the most fresh non-stolen meme communities ive seen. also, because of the fact that tumblr is financially worthless, the staff just dont even bother with advertising or trying to network the site. it makes it a really nice place where your family cant find you (like they have on almost every other platform ive tried), and youre not cursed with depressed sunny-D. there's also no shitty verification system since you cant even see how many followers your peers have, so whats the point of a verification? being tumblr famous only gets you invasive anonymous asks and puts you at the centre of the discourse tornado that occasionally passes by; its better to NOT be famous on there. literally i remember the days when you could EDIT OTHER PEOPLES POSTS. the management team is so incompetent it makes the place really fun if you follow the right accounts.
Tbf, considering Twitter's current (and most likely definitive) state, adding a standard edit button could fuck things up considering all the wack shit people say there, and how much others use that very shit to /accuse/cancel/expose/raise awareness on those very people. The site has fallen that low with its community, and no amount of typos will ever change their mind about not adding such feature.
@Succubastard 101 Every viral joke tweet will get an Edit: Wow this blew up! Don't forget to follow me and check out my IG and....
Also politicians lying about things they said, or people editing viral tweets that said one thing to say another to promote a message they're trying to get out.
@bababababababa but screenshots can be doctored/photoshopped/whatever. In fact, its very trivial to, on Chrome, right click on a tweet, click the "inspect" option which will bring you to the relevant HTML in Chrome's Dev Tools, and change the text inside of a tweet. In this way, you can change the message in a tweet whilst still having the same formatting and style that the Twitter site automatically applies to the tweets(so, no way to differentiate from a legit tweet), and then you can screenshot that. I think that probably the only way to guarantee seeing a tweet as it was before it was deleted would be to use a trusted 3rd party site, such as the Wayback Machine, which can take snapshots of websites in time, and has been applied to tweets as well.
@murpyh I've seen people reply to their own viral tweet just to mention that it blew up and plug something. It probably isn't very realistic to do the last two examples and get away with it, I'll give you that, but arguing that an edit button would result in plugging and "thanks for the gold" type stuff is kind of moot when that already happens; it's like how the comment to like ratio is used as a substitute for dislikes.

That is true. The Edit button is fundamental to social media, and it's very irritating Twitter doesn't have one. Obviously, I used it here (the paranthetical next to this).
On another hand, does it seem also like EmpLemon has this weird protective complex of a president who is a piece of human garbage?
"...a petty pissing contest with America's president..."
The guy was spreading conspiracy theories and falsehoods! He needed to be held accountable--and don't call me an SJW or something like that.
@Succubastard 101 I disagree. Doesn't Twitter allow you to delete tweets? I'd agree with you if twitter kept every tweet indefinitely but unfortunately they don't. Any twitter account or post can be scrubbed off the face of the earth in a matter of seconds by deletion. Adding edits would have zero effect in those regards.
Not gonna lie, I think they don't have an edit button because they know people are going to abuse that button to make stupid posts like "Haha, I tricked you into retweeting this stupid meme."
One thing I like about twitter is no edit button because people would just make a tweet and then do "thanks for the gold" or change it so it doesn't make sense or better yet just change it to an onlyfans link
When everyone started innocently signing up for social media in the 2000/2010s's they didn't understand that a pandora's box of online garbage was being opened.
1:40 Speaking of Vidme, this reminds me of those pizzagate nutjobs who tried to cancel Vidme because a video wasn't removed as fast as they would have liked even though it was removed as fast as the people running the site could remove it... Maybe if they had put that investment they got (one of the investors was a Reddit founder btw lol what an endorsement) into moderators instead of hiring a new PR girl every month...
Call me Carson was verified but one day there was glitch where every verified user was accidentally in twitter jail so he just unverified himself so he could tweet that one day
tbh i tried several times to use twitter and each time i just couldn't get how anyone can do this long term because i felt i was just losing my time, thanks for confirming my prejudices
I've been following your content ever since you did YTPs, and I must admit, I love your soundtrack choices. I wasn't expecting to hear NFH2 music in this video.
eSports also sponsor content creators alpharad is a notable smash content creator, (not a professional) and I think some sort of worker at panda global.
I still think YouTube’s comment section is worse than Twitter because it’s like Twitter minus the accountability. People literally can say whatever they want with almost zero consequence here.
@Cornman Cornmansson so one time, they made an event, where i think the person that would have world record time by a certain date would get some money
I tried. I tried so hard to sit on Twitter. I just couldn't handle the level of smugness mixed with peak narcissism and rage. Most people never talked with me. They were talking at me
You should make a video about the downward spiral of TikTok. It started as an outsider platform to create vine like videos with pretty original memes. Now it is filled with rubbish and e-thots. It also has people copy famous TikToks until the trend becomes run into the ground.
there is a reason to why i deleted my twitter account. i NEVER use social media (apart from youtube and discord) and as soon as i went onto twitter i got bored to death.
i prefer using tumblr because at least i have tags, search, chronological post and the staff is so incompetent at running the hellsite that it is funny
I'm so happy I uninstalled Twitter but at the same time I was following so many great artists on there. The only artists that also had Insta was one, so I'm missing out on some good content rn. The only problem I have with Twitter is the non-stop talk about politics. Yea I could just change my country or location but the people that I follow contribute in some way to politics like retweeting, likes, etc so there's no escape from it unless I unfollow them, but then what's the point of even being on there?
I don't know a single artist who doesn't have a DA, FA, or Pivix on top of a Twitter. Go down the list of artists you like and search for them on other sites. If they don't make porn then you can still find them on Tumblr too.
You can block certain words in the privacy section so that they don’t appear on you’re TL. I’m gonna start doing that since twitter has some amazing artists but has me feeling suicidal every time an actual conversation starts.
I’ve been using Twitter as a stockpile for my art, and I’ve been trying to separate myself from it lately because I REALLY loathe how it handles communication. That character limit absolutely neuters my style of talking and encourages exaggeration that only incites more confusion and arguing. I only have it because of Splatoon 2, and have never gotten another social media account outside of YouTube, Reddit, or Discord, is Instagram good? I’ve heard it’s generally more optimistic. Which sounds very nice.
Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition yeah Instagram is a really good platform for you to find artists and you can leave long messages whenever you post youre art. Also all in all it’s a lot less cancerous then twitter. Just no nsfw which is a big draw of twitter.
@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition I post my art on Insta, and besides the cropping issues it's not bad. I can't comment on the users on that site since my art barely gets noticed, but there's no annoying hashtag trending and depending on what you search up you only get recommended stuff you're interested in and barely anything unrelated. Highly recommend you give it a try, since it seems like no one fusses over what art you post on Insta compared to apps like Tumblr and Twitter.
Im literally just using Twitter to get Arknights info and art with a little bit of JohneAwesome in it. I never want to go deeper,I've seen some stupid shit and I'm not even that deep.
fun fact: at 2:53 pm est the same day this video was uploaded (roughly 45 minutes ago from when i'm typing this) the official @twitter account tweeted "you can have an edit button when everyone is wearing a mask" or in english; "we know everything you want and we literally could not care less"
my favorite moment from twitter is when hulk hogan said "RIP BAM MISS YOU BRO" thinking bam margera was ryan dunn, only to have bam reply and be like "dude I'm not dead"
Reddit is the laughing stock of the internet. A 14 year old kid scammed users of r/AMA out of hundreds of dollars of awards last week. He made up a sob story claiming he had brain cancer. Reddit is filled with these sob stories. People are only angry at him because he later admitted he lied.
Toats Depends on the sub. Meme subs suck, but memes on subs for particular video games, tailored to the game itself and not just using generic formats, aren’t too bad.
@EmblemBlade9 I kinda agree but even still meme formats weasel their way in everything. Not to mention the ""comedic masterminds"" that thinks meta reddit memes are so clever.
I'd say both Twitter and Reddit are shit, but (and I hate to defend Reddit) Reddit is less shit. Why? Because there are a few useful communities in there, about videogames, modding, programming, whatever other interests you have, it's there. And the posts there can be very useful and informative. Since they're not limited to 140 characters, it's a good place to find information, links, recommendations of other websites with even more information, etc. What does Twitter have in comparison? Hashtags and a limit of 140 characters? A huge focus on trending topics and latest tweets? Even 'good' accounts are useless as an information archive because of how twitter works. Not that reddit is perfect in that role (mostly because of censorship), but its certainly better than Twitter.
CerealKiller
Twitter is literally worse than Reddit. I use Reddit to shitpost and find porn, and almost nothing else. You're not even allowed to shitpost on Twitter and their porn sucks.
8:00 Though it is messed up that this occurred without explicit evidence, I do agree that the culture around verification, even if people intellectually understand what it is, can be seen as an endorsement unconsciously due to how it’s been built as a symbol of cultural importance, even if that wasn’t the intent and/or function.
Isn't twitter instagram and facebook but instead of selfies it's non stop text? To me twitter is just a magnifying glass of art sites like Furaffinity and Deviantart, except instead of one theme or a genre it's more focused for you to see more of someone's art and quicker than they update their deviant art. Then there's others's art and pictures as well with the same theme. But mostly the main twitter's art.
So I don't follow or use it, I just look up artists I like to see more of their art, nothing else.
I use Reddit and were less toxic than Twitter. At least we can form opinions and not worry about being canceled to the point where our real lives are ruined.
Aw dang, here this whole time I thought being Verified™ just meant that like, you did the thing with the email or phone number to say 'Yeah that's me'.
I tend to use Twitter like reddit, if I want to see memes, artwork etc of a game or something through hashtags or check out an account like "Images that precede unfortunate events". Though creating an account was a mistake, Glad I forgot my login data.
Toa Pohatu I don’t even post my thoughts on politics and I don’t think most do cus it’s just a mood killer and a pain in the ass, you are right about media finder, it’s quite hard to find old content if they post gifs and other images too
@Kakama Nuva Kinda agree, practically the people I follow are extremly left leaning where while I agree with them to a certain degree, they can sometimes be te type of person to say "I am right fuck you capitalists communism is the only way" and they are sometimes in echo chambers which just sucks.
However, you have to realise that Twitter is a pretty personal and topical platform, it isn't surpsing that they express their views. amostly - their accounts are for porn AND personal stuff, if you don't like their personality, get a tool to download all their media for you and leave lol
The porn is good but it's not worth the constant frustration induced headaches that comes from being a politically active person on there, your even seeing people being stupid on a certain issue or your seeing people you agree with infuriatingly argue in the worst way they possibly could
@AnEvilGhost Depends, on Twitter you usually have all of their works, their personal things and it's always up to date. I get the appeal, and I use good ol e6 quite often myself, but Twitter has a use too. I use it this way: Create account > Block normies and brands > Look up a fetish I like > Look at some posts of it and follow the op and commenters, after clicking follow go to the accounts that show up as suggested > Build up a feed > Boom, easy
Ainan Kashif no it’s bad. Search page is full of shit and clickbait, stolen content/recycled content everywhere, “hot chicks in your area” spam DM’s, constant meme pages wanting to follow you for some reason ect
@PSI Tactician Yeah, but like, have you been on twitter or reddit lately? There was just a large purge of subreddit's deemed "offensive", and on twitter you can get banned for the smallest of mistakes in your past. Plus, Tumblr is one of the last social medias to actually show posts in chronological order
Twitch Prime at least comes with free games and ingame loot for a bunch of games I don't even play. Amazon funds the ICE concentration camps where kids aren't even allowed soap though.
Hey, this is completely off topic, but I'm really curious on your opinion of the auto generated 'topic' channels that have been popping up on youtube. It's like every time I'm surfing the site listening to music, I end up on one of these topic channels. From what I can tell, they're just siphoning the actual musician's views and watch-time away from their own videos. I don't know much about how they work or exist. But if you or anyone here has some insight or opinions please don't be shy! Thanks.~
7:35 I remember a few years ago that I did see a few people complaining about certain people being verified, and saying that it meant twitter was endorsing those people, but the context I saw it in was a bunch of people laughing at that person and calling them an idiot so it definitely existed but wasn't a commonly held belief.
the only reason i use twitter is to get minecraft news, follow some minecraft fan artists and occasonally spit out some random bullshit i think is funny
imagine finally getting a phone call with a twitter insider and all you hear is "Verified" in a French accent. probably a good indicator to check your crypto stocks.
Youtube: "We restricted the blue checkmark because people were interpreting it as endorsement" Also Youtube: predominantly gives blue checkmarks to people with the political opinions they endorse
The only reason i personally use it is because i dont like upload ing pictures, and like to upload from my computer. On Instagram you always have to upload at least a picture of some sort and it can only be uploaded from your Phone.
Nah I really enjoy using twitter, especially following artists on there. As long as you keep drama and politics out of your feed and instead just and follow things that interest you it’s honestly pretty good
@Silvesta 'Aka keep yourself in a echo system and ignore what happens outside it.' You man, are the real life version of the burning house with the "this is fine." dog.
Alberto C. Routwell Look mate, ppl can use social media however they want. In my experience, I’ve found twitter to be mentally damaging and taxing so I’d rather keep things positive by following things that interest me and make me happy. It’s not like I don’t acknowledge the problems, I’m well aware, but I make a choice not to interact with them for the sake of my own mental health. If you have a problem with that please by all means let me know...
The popular group at my high school called me “fuckin’ weird” for not having any social media outside of YouTube, I got a TikTok, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit to look cool. Here’s my teir list

if i where twitter, just to fuck with ppl, i'd give the check mark to ppl who complain about it just like this. Get over your want for the checkmark? that is the true path of getting it.
I hate whenever some YouTuber says "we had submissions for X on Twitter" because that leaves out everyone without an account/people who were suspended for no known reason.
yellow has to be hue shifted a certain amount to become green, so if that same level of hue shifting is applied to red, it becomes yellow. so basically, no, angry green simpson would actually become yellow

If I Could ever describe Twitter, I would do so like this: Twitter is a social media website generally understood, conceptually designed and functionally ideal to run entirely off of outrage. All it does and all it exists for is to turn a population of people into the most obnoxious version of said people humanly possible. Going on Twitter is a more depressing version of playing CK II: you'll start with noble intentions, go off the rails instantly, go down the most depraved of paths, and emerged out the other end feeling sad and unfulfilled. Do. Not. Go. There.
@Marco Kitty As long as they're not harming or drawing real kids, then why do people care so much? It's probably a better outlet than real CP which does hurt kids.
@dddmemaybe I mean...I became a furry for a more innocent reason, aka meet friendly people that like to pretend to be cartoon animals. But alas, I got into yiff out of trying to fit in because nothing seemed to be working out for me in the search for friends and now I am just torn between my "good" "christian" values and having to conform to the "quirks" of the fandom in order to be noticed. The "misconceptions" of the fandom are now parody or the truth at the convenience of its members.
Marco Zepeda That sucks dude. I mean, if you’re actually into that then you do you, but if you were pressured into it, then it’s a real shame it had to go down that way. I don’t have that issue because I dissociate with that fandom other than viewing and making scalie smut.
Ye, art accounts, a few meme accounts, NSFW shit and mutuals you can make on there is one of the very few good things about the shitpile that is Twitter
9:19 I don't understand why this is here, the image was reminiscent of the Canadian Ambassador returning to Canada amid the controversy between Saudi Arabia and Canada in 2018, and people missinterperted it as a 9/11 threat, which judging by the saying and the usage of the BG, it wasn't. The BG is just a photo of the city skyline.
Anyways, Awesome video as usual, you are genuinely one of the most high quality YouTubers out there. Keep on going
I fucking hate twitter every time i see the platform I wonder why people go there instead of more personable platforms like discord, reddit, or Facebook (despite all their glaring problems I still see them as superior places compared to twitter) it's like these people have never talked to a human before so now they have to belligerently attack anyone thinking that's how socializing works. Than when I try going on the site I get suspended for literally no reason. Seriously, I followed a bunch of creators I liked and started lurking the site for about 3 days until whoops I said something in the comments of a youtuber I liked, a friend of theirs asked who I was and got suspended for saying "your mom". Fuck it, that site is fucking bullshit and I hope anyone going there stays because I never wanna speak or even hear from them ever.
@lunk yeah, but the far left on Twitter isnt funny tho, again, im not talking about actually logical people, im talking about your 50 year old conspiracy theorist with 50 followers

I agree that it's BS how the blue checkmark is basically locked behind a paywall, but you used their site and are subject to the terms of service that you "read" and agreed to when signing up.
I think you misunderstood the communications decency act. The whole thing about it is that despite them being publishers (moderating content) they shall not be treated as one. This is because it would basically be impossible to do any moderation at all. Before the cda you either had to be completely lawless clusterfuck or just not exist because moderation of any form was impossible

The whole "let's treat them like publishers by cda standards and ruin under lawsuits" talk comes from conservative side of social media. The main idea that moderation in Facebook, Twitter and Twitch abuses moderation beyond "good faith", as they ban inconsistently and often for no reason stated in the law itself. Through currently cda have pretty blury lines in this regard, so unless cases which protect platforms from liability when silencing content will be clearer defined in cda modification, sites will be immune from any threats of becoming publishers legally.
It's just Twitter may lack the resources to want to do it (because they are bad at generating revenue for a business), along with the site appearing to have moderation issues.
If an entire country can regulate its people based on what news they have access to, I feel any organization could do the same on their own digital platform.
Jesus Christ dude, please tell me how you wrote your script! I never get bored while watching your vids. Your execution and pacing is perfect in my opinion.
From a business perspective, it makes sense that they turned the verified badge into a corporate commodity. I mean, when your platform basically has no other way to make money, it's a smart move.
However, it's clear that Twitter doesn't really care about its users, and you did a great job of illustrating exactly that in this video. I am a very infrequent user of Twitter, as I just cannot be bothered with being inundated with bullshit constantly. That is to say, while there are a good number of accounts that I "follow" because I like reading what they post every so often, I tend to find that if I spend more than 10 minutes at a time on Twitter, I inevitably come across some idiot spouting nonsense either from their own initial tweets or comments under someone else's. Twitter just cannot help itself from pointing me in the direction of these people, and if it's not them, it's some stupid ad disguised as a random tweet (those are fucking everywhere) or a link to a clickbait article, or just trending bullshit that I am purposefully trying to ignore.
In fact, it really doesn't even take 10 minutes, it's more like 10 clicks. On Twitter, you're never more than 10 clicks away from something that is purposefully designed to piss people off.
I tend to therefore stick to accounts that I know well, and I also tend to stick to positivity. I try to stick to positive posts and I try to make positive posts. I rarely say anything even remotely argumentative on Twitter because getting into an argument on Twitter is like arguing with a mentally handicapped person who speaks a foreign language while your mouth is full of cotton balls. It's a complete waste of time, they'll never cede to your point even if they manage to grasp it, and if your point requires any sort of context or nuance at all, you won't have nearly enough characters to explain it without making multiple tweets, which is just tedious especially given the aforementioned pointlessness of it all. And the best outcome you can hope for is that one or two people agree with the point you made while the rest of the people who bothered to read it just think you were bullying a mentally handicapped person.
I read your Twitter quarantine post on KnowYourMeme. I just want you to know, I am often on Imgur, and what you wrote rings so true I want to applaud you until my hands shatter.
I love your analytic style of videography (if that's the right word?) I'm heavily considering posting a serious video to my channel of how important video games are to the human societal culture. I'm not the most well spoken man I know, but your videos are starting to inspire me to do something like this. As nerdy as it sounds, anyone with experience with video games knows for a fact that they have done nothing but change the lives of many.
Your content is like a fine wine or a good aged cheddar. It takes time but I'll be damned if it isn't worth the wait. Fuck Twitter I've been on the fence about deleting it for a while now it's so pointless. I'm about to go delete it now
Twitter is like watching a car crash compilation on youtube. The idea of getting in a car crash is unsettling to you, and very undesirable to you, but you just cant help but watch how stupid people can drive.
I will be so happy when twitter finally dies. I never use it but I constantly hear about it and have to deal with people regurgitating garbage from it all the time.
Id say that the nothing to gain everything to lose attitude of twitter is its only redeeming feature. To me it recaptures the sheer discourse of the early internet
7:50 "Surely no-one at twitter would endorse Kim Jong Un, Pablo Escobar, Ted Bundy" Agree it doesn't necessarily mean they endorse them, wouldn't put my money on the "no-one" part of that, though.
this was kinda an unreasonable take on the situation. they’re a company that needs to make money to survive. there are a lot of other things about twitter that make it valuable, such as the ability to defuse information relevant to small and local groups. in general, its use is for giving a platform to its users. people are generally very shitty on the internet, so the behaviors exhibited on twitter shouldn’t be surprising.
i struggle to tolerate Twitter tbh, I dispised it at first and never used it but i recently found out all my art friends used it and didnt have any other social media so i decided to give it a try. I hated it it felt kinda like i was on fb but worse. I feel like i should just stick to my instagram and facebook
man discussing politics on twitter sure is a wild ride, and by wild i mean exchanging insults with right wing paid bots that barely speak your language
There actually is a monatary incentive to use Twitter: Giveaways that require you to retweet things. That is what I came to Twitter for. Twitter also has a bunch of nice furry art and some decent Libertarian commentary, and seems to have a larger Esperanto community than most other sites, so those are the other main uses I use Twitter for. More towards the middle of the video, it's weird seeing the YouTuber make a much more formal message than that which the brand responds back =(Oɷo)= . Your blurring of names is imperfect, by the way, and can easily be bypassed by scrubbing individual video frames using the period and comma keys. At around 17:32, Cowbelly's legal name is clearly visible by scrubbing to the first frame their profile appears, and the blurring lingers a while after the frame ends too. To be fair, though, their legal name is also visible if one goes to the small spike in archives of their Twitter profile on Archive.org, so if someone is determined enough they would be able to find it pretty easily anyways. Around the 24 minute mark, Reddit also feels like Soviet Russia, especially more recently. It seems most big sites on the internet are getting more and more crazy about censorship. https://reclaimthenet.org/ has some pretty good news about the subject, and for Reddit specifically, subs like Reclassified and WatchRedditDie are good, as well as subs on alternate sites like /s/meanwhileonreddit on SaidIt.net.
First 34 Seconds into video: Oh god, I'm a Twitter weirdo, sharing "facts" and my extreme views with my family all the time, without actually using Twitter. (Former reddit user)
literally all I use my twitter for is to follow artists since tumblr went down, and post some dumb memes, so far its been ok but I've ran into a bunch of nutters. If there was another site to use I'd move there, the actual cool, good normal people I've befriended there just hang out in my discord.
Twitter really is the youtube comments of the internet. Nothing of value, only salt. Also, I'll never forgive Twitter for what it did to Vine. The wrong platform died that day.
It's mostly useless. I don't get, I never got and never will get the appeal of writing simple messages that oversimplify and overviralize anything for the sake of clout. For that, I'm proud of never entering the Bandwagon from Hell named Twitter.
I only use twitter for the Japanese lew--- art. For some reason twitter is immensely popular in that country compared to other social media sites. Besides that I guess there's pixiv.
I genuinely do not Want a edit button on Twitter with how it is now I know that the worst people out there would use it to post very horrible statement then backpedal so hard on it so it would seem people pointing it out on their thread would seem unjustified That would only work if we could unconditionally see every edit made from the original post and with a big "edited" mention like if people can correct themselves I still want to know they said first
Tips to actually enjoy twitter: Step 1: Follow a bunch of Japanese doujin artists, porn or otherwise Step 2: Unfollow everyone else Step 3: Enjoy your newly created illustration feed in private. just remember, don't read it on public transit.
Fun fact: the guy who made that Simpsons remix at the end has a channel involving iPods and MP3 players. You've probably heard of him. DankPods. Would highly recommend if you haven't watched him already.
I've only seen a few accounts of why everyone hates Twitter, guess I'm just lucky and in actual good communities. i mean I guess gaming communities shouldn't really have many problems.
I'd like an edit button on twitter. But I can see how it would be abused. Maybe an edit button that only exists for the first 5 minutes of a post? So i can immediatly be like "OH FUCK NO!" and take back something I said so that it doesnt harm someone. I could use a delete button. But most of the time its the difference of punctuation or autocorrect that ruins a post. I'd rather edit than retype the whole thing. As a content creator... it rips me up inside when I post a long thing and the first sentence is like "Hello eveveryone!" and I just sit there and cry with my horrible mistakes.
Bruh..... my ringtone is Sans...not megalovania, like youtube always thinks im looking for, the one you used here. I never realized how hard ive been hit with pavlovian conditioning, until that song played and i couldnt even hear what you were saying, even after multiple attempts. my brain was so warped, trying to cut of all sound around it, to be ready to answer the phone. Ive never actually felt it so hard like that and realized thats what happens... shit was insane.
Ive been on twitter for 10 years. I've been suspended 4 times with around 1-4K followes, all of which have been suspended in the last 4 years. I hate twitter with passion, but I keep coming back
@Nothing, realy nothing. yes. addiction. twitter can be great but the management and the walking on egg shells in case rainbow twitter or kpop stans report you is annoying. Not to mention mob rule
i clicked off the video when i saw the image of the scout. not because it was bad, but because it reminded me that the team fabulous 2 remake came out today
Looking under any news article or any popular user's tweets is always filled with garbage, but I seem to be the only Twitter user that doesn't have a garbage experience on the site, because I don't do those things. I also don't follow brand accounts (unless you consider content creators as brand accounts, but that's an entirely different discussion), so maybe that helps too. (except Sonic. Because any good Twitter user follows Sonic. It's a cardinal rule of Twitter).
I go on twitter just so I can argue with idiots and say shit I'll regret. I'm never gonna be popular so I could care less and I never use my real name or email so no way future employers will find it.
is it bad that when I saw the thumbnail while scrolling through the "up next" column I thought it was the Rasengan from naruto? Yes? okay, I'll see myself out.
not sure if you mention it but one thing twitter is okay at is building artist's follow base so they can move to better platforms later (twitter is still awful however)
HECK what was the flash game that used 10:22 as it's main music?! I just got kicked in the nostalgia but I can't remember exactly where it came from DX All I remember is that I think it was on New Grounds
The logical step: Instagram The Ad Revenue Friendly: Tic Toc is not Vine, but a strange specimen of itself. The MAD LAD path: How to sucess on LinkedIn The EmpLemon Style: How Myspace Opened the gates, and Facebook normalized the caos on the web.
The only good thing I've found on Twitter (since recently creating an account) is it has the densest amount of great art/artists. (Which is the only thing I use it for) The fact that I can't turn off likes in my timeline though is the bane of my existence.
i dont use twitter much but i remember seeing a way to turn off likes by typing some command-like thing in settings somewhere to filter posts. I dont remember what it was exactly but i hope thats enough of a lead for ya. I guess plugins exist too
I like twitter, it's everything in one app. You can get racist comments, personal opinions that cannot be changed by facts, horny bastards, idiotic quotes, news, memes, drama, everything. Just like cyberpunk city, it's unlivable but people still goes there
Always get hype as ** for a new video from Emp. He can make anything interesting. Edit: Dang, I missed being first by three seconds, if only I had not written an actual comment
"Long ago Pretty much every brand account on twitter only existed to spam hashtags and submissively apologize to disgrunteled customers then everthing changed when wendy's attacked" Where have i heard this before?
Twitter is so political that I learned Japanese just so I could switch regions and watch anime without subtitles. Best decision of my life tbh because I've never made so many friends.
One of these days I'm gonna drop Twitter for good. I can't browse that site without feeling sad and/or discouraged for the modern world and its people.
The sad thing is that this is REAL investigative journalism, as opposed to the trash """journalists""" shit out on a regular basis. You deserve it more than anyone.
I can't help but remember this one guy I followed on twitter that went on some sort of pity party about how he was never going to talk to any followers that didn't have their irl id and multiple followers because they were mean to him.
"Its like God hates us" was an actual quote. I hate that site so much.
Personally, I use Twitter to post my art, and I have built up a good community and made friends. I do, however stay away from the main parts of the site. I stay specifically in the art and YouTube communities, and it works well there.
Reached the end of the video, man I really dodged a bullet by being lazy and not actually getting into twitter all those years ago when I decided I would jump into social media to get in contact with my family.
The fact that pornhub video comment sections are more emotionally grounded and intelligent than almost all Twitter users is one of the greatest societal jokes ever told.
I got a Slap Chop ad on the middle of this and for the life of me I can't explain why but it flowed so seamlessly into the video that I thought it was part of it
What I find even stranger is that a while ago, Keemstar said that he would contact Twitter Gaming and get them to verify Technoblade (a Minecraft youtuber. He still hasn't been verified). The question this brings up is whether influencers have the power to get other people the verification status, and if so, why?
Just got a smart TV and the YouTube app is absolutely abysmal. When I watch an EmpLemon video I often find myself pausing to read the screenshots. When you pause on the TV app half the screen is filled with recommendations for other videos.
Twitter is absolutely garbage, I’ve had an account since 2011 and have probably spent about 1-3 hours maximum over the past decade on it... compared to YouTube, Facebook, Reddit etc. Not that any platform is perfect but Twitter has just never felt necessary, useful or needed to me. Not even surprised PewDiPie deleted his account. Really nice video Emp :) <3
23:06 "at least YouTube (despite all of its problems) has managed to create and maintain an equitable verification system" Yep! Oh uhh what, '100k' subs? Lol nevermind!
But in all seriousness, things have changed a lot over the years. I'm quite thankful for my checkmark, even though I don't qualify for today's standards.
makes one think twitter is engaged in some sort of social engineering. As if they were... badumm.... using the checkmark to validate people opinion now. Shocking, i know
Twitter in my opinion: “ I’ll take a double triple bossy deluxe, on a raft, 4 x 4 animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axel grease, make it cry, BURN IT and let it swim “ Imagines yummy burger, but is served a disappointment.
Blue Checkmarks are more like a mark of shame. Only the Patron Saints Of Twitter get it.
Also aren't you the guy that called "eenzeel" anyone who mocked Idubbbz? So tell me, how's Anisa's softcore Patreon doing? I hope Youtube doesn't demonetize this video because you may lose your membership in her Onlyfans.
i hate all these companies that remove stuff for no apparent reason, i regret updating my phone because they messed up the file browser so bad (that wasnt even broken in the first place) and removed multiple features, i thought things were supposed to be easier to use as stuff gets updated and gets more streamlined, not making it more shit as time goes on
I legitimately left twitter a month ago due to hyperpoliticization and only reinstalled it a few days ago. I already want to leave again because how much of a garbage platform it is
Well, one good thing about Twitter is that it has porn. Lots and lots of porn. Unlike Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr and most other popular websites for user-generated content, Twitter allows porn, and it flourishes there. The only other major website that allows porn is Reddit, and most other user-generated content reservoirs/social media sites actively work to scrub their platforms of any adult content.
You wish you could go back 10 years to get verified but don't upload YTPs anymore. The duality of man Love the inclusion of Pretzel Wagon by Dankmus. Definitely check out his other channel DankPods, where he scrapes together parts of an iPod just to play Shrek
I don't really use Twitter, but I do unfortunately have an account. Mainly because when I debate people a lot of cited sources come from the site. Sad I have to be involved in such a platform
twitter is a terrible place. do you want to get destroyed for a slight mess up? do you want to see annoying people stanning popular celebrities? Do you want to see speaking in completely caps like this: THIS ANIME GIRL IS SO. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA then twitter is for you.
due to that intro to twitter I have decide to delete it from my phone. I know you don't care but you are the reason and I have been on the fence for a while so yeah
Well there is a value to Twitter you didn’t bring up, it allows normal people to keep up to date with various different media they follow ie tv shows, youtubers, streamers, etc.
That's only if the account goes unused. If that account only copy pastes what the user has uploaded to other sites then it's easy to use as an update. Alternatively you could do what all those entertainers tell you to do and to enable notifications for new uploads.
Twitter is the cesspool of the Internet. I’d say it’s genuinely worse than 4chan. At least 4chan can be humorous with it’s cancer. Twitter is just the Chernobyl elephant’s foot
Aside from exiled Tumblr porn artists living there, memesmiths that manages to survive and announcements, yeah this site is Soviet Russia outside of Moscow
As a Youtuber, my channel and the videos I make, may sum up for 'the middle class' of Youtube: "Not some random account, but neither relevant enough. The views ain't much, but it's honest work"
Had to use Twitter once, and only once in life. That damn Geohot dropped his iOS 3 blackra1n on twitter. Since exploits are so volatile I had to get it from the source, Twatter. This was 2009 and I never used it again. Watching life go on, I couldn't have been more happy with my choice.
So how is there a verified Elon Musk account without the right hashtag? They just spend a ton on advertising and then change their name to Elon Musk to scam people?
I use it occasionally. Probably shouldn’t because I might be supporting the Chinese Communist Party but yeah there’s some good shit on that app based on your preferences
It’s mostly bad. Facebook makes me wanna puke but I still have one. Anything with chinese hands in it is bad news in my opinion. The EGS for instance. I wouldn’t let my kids play Fortnite.
Kind of ironic that you make fun of and look down on people for sharing their opinion to the whole world... while sharing this opinion to the whole world...
If You wanna argue with a random dude in Twitter , remember this quote “Do not correct a fool, or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you.” Dont waste your time.
my cousin actually works at twitter (don't care if you bleive it or not) he works on the ad side of the buisness for advertisers and hhow ads get served. I don't understand all the algorithms or coding behind it, but even he isn't verified.
Pornhub verification seems like it would be useful for legal liability purposes, to reassure governments and guilty fappers that they're not platforming revenge porn or passing off footage of minors, sex trafficking victims, and involuntary prostitutes as consenting sex workers or amateurs (although professional adult porn performers likely don't have it much better most of the time). Honestly I still don't trust most live-action porn recordings, since there are probably loopholes in that system that pimps, abusers, and shadier porn studios can exploit.
2:00 I have to disagree because Twitter can be great for digital artists, a lot of artists including myself sell commissions because of Twitter So... There's that, if you're an artist that wants to sell commission and talk to other artists Twitter is great
I'll acknowledge that it's definitely a widely used platform for digital artists these days, but it is most certainly not "great" for them in any sense aside from barebones networking. DeviantArt blows it out of the water, and other sites like Pixiv, Tumblr depending on the type of content you make, and smaller ones catered to unique audiences tend to be just as effective.
I'll tell you at least that Twitter is godawful for FANS of digital artists, because it's an absolute chore to slog through a timeline filled with unrelated drivel to try and find specific pieces of art that people like you upload.
@TapDat52K So you want a platform where people post things, and a viewer is unable to provide any form of feedback or response other than a couple pre-determined symbols? That honestly sounds really boring as a concept. Part of looking at a picture is seeing the discussions about it. Without that, it's just a bunch of pictures with smaller pictures under it.
Twitter is not a gallery website. DA, FA, and Pixiv are much better for an artist to have all the tools needed to communicate with their audience on if their work is for sale and what their work looks like. Artwork that's submitted is better organized and categorized and the staff is expected to take copyright and plagiarism more seriously than anything else. Twitter is just a place to network but given that you can also get very easily cancelled from it, it's very bad at networking as well.
Let's be honest, we all clicked because we thought it was going to talk about the youtube verification checkmark, even though it's gray and not blue, because youtube and twitter are so similar that you don't really care, so they're basically the same thing at this point.
The only way to use twitter is to not post and then: a) follow artists b) watch other people's posts and then laugh at them (just follow StruggleTweets)
They will verify anyone that shares their political views even if its some nobody whose posts only get like 15 likes even though they supposedly have 100,000 followers.
I spent about three months on Twitter before I ran screaming. I tried to be smart and only follow people I knew, liked, and admired, but I only ended up hating those people as I watched them rage and shriek over every little thing like toddlers. And then there were the alt-right people screaming about "the gays" and "wimmins" in every convo thread ever, no matter how divorced from the original topic it is. And don't get me started on all the empty virtue signaling on whatever the hot topic of the week was. Even thinking about Twitter makes me ill now, like it gave me a mild form of ptsd or something.
Hard to believe Alpharad is considered a big channel. Last time I was on his channel, he had just made a Billy Hatcher x KH2 AMV mashup and had 200k subs.
The problem would be fixed instantly if there were verification tiers, like content creator badge and it goes to corporation badge, but then again, Twitter is a cesspool and I´ve been using it to post mods I´ve created, lurk and throw out ramblings.
Welcome to the new world, it will get worse from now on...
Quitting Twitter 3 years ago has done wonders for my mental health. I realized I felt like shit every time I opened it. Decided to just quit and it's probably the best choice I've ever made.
God in 22 seconds you've explained why I dont use twitter. I never knew why/ still dont know why soooo many people feel the need to tweet every random thought they have. NOBODY CAAARES.
All this info is really interesting. I do use twitter but I mostly follow Japanese artists and my experience so far has been really nice. I go, I look at some nice art I comment and from time to time I get to interact with those people I like. I think that's the point of twitter, being able to actually interact with a famous person. I don't really get out of there, I can say I am in a "bubble" where everything works nicely and I haven't seen too much drama. Not to say it doesn't exists but I've noticed it particularly happens on the "western" side of twitter. Now, as an anime PFP comment you'll be tempted to discard me, that's fine. I just want to say that I am in no way worshiping japanese at all, they to some really shady stuff and can be pretty messy. What I mean is that, at least my experience, has been really positive. I follow artists from different parts of the world, from argentina to Malasia and... maybe it's because artists don't really get thaaat big on youtube it's why it seems so "peaceful" Or at least... I don't feel like people want to kill each other all the time and argue over pretty much nothing. I guess we all lost vision of what twitter was supposed to be.
I couldn’t get past the first 3 minutes of this video because of how painfully true it is. If you value any small part of your mental health or well being, then please for the love of god and all that is holy do not use Twitter.
"Certain female streamers." Yeah, we saw all those pictures of Alinty don't pretend otherwise. Thank god, though she might actually stop after all the crap that woman has pulled
I agree with a lot of what you said and I know you probably wanted to avoid politics but what are your thoughts on how Trump's affected Twitter? Particularly the weight that verified accounts hold? I feel like no one used to take Twitter seriously until the POTUS decided that would be his preferred choice of media to talk to the masses. The ratio of tweets from Trump v Obama is daunting.
I mostly use Twitter anymore as a way to branch out for my internet radio station. Otherwise, I use it to browse "no context" content for a good laugh now and then. Never really cared much for the blue checkmark, though.
We need to make a youtuber "journalist" site where only verified youtubers are allowed to post prewritten articles, so they can then be verified as "trusted sources" on Twitter
I like how when people say shit on Twitter they think it will make any difference at all. Their opinions have never and will never make an impact on society.
There's some value to twitter if you draw porn, since Tumblr banned it. Just be careful not to get canceled if your fetishes are too problematic to an influential passerby.
I used to have a twitter way back in the days when I participated in giveaways and had to retweet for some extra point (I know just some foolish behaviour) But I'm glad I never got into it
Honestly the way i deal with Twitter, is basically i try not to get to anger at much on Twitter, and aside from that i mainly just use Twitter, to make friends, and follow artists, and some people that i am very familiar with. But i don’t really care about becoming popular, or getting that verification check. But it is a shame that some popular Youtubers, haven’t gotten it.
I made a twitter account a while ago. I never used the account once, literally just made it and left. I came back a few months later to see my account had been suspended for no reason.
So Twitter found a way to monetize itself, not sure why you are mad at that, it seems all internet corporations struggle with that heavily, and toxicity on twitter is no different or less hateful than in any of these other sites which everyone views as "free". It should be obvious that toxicity is the content on these sites, what all of them do is try to keep it balanced so it doesnt lean to much on either direction that would alienate the other.
Here in Brazil we even have a page called "todo dia um perfil verificado que ninguem conhece falando merda" wich trasnlates to: "everyday a verified profile who nobody knows talking shit". And the vast majority of profiles displayed there are leftwing randoms well....talking shit
At any moment you can go on Twitter, scroll over to trending, and there will be a #JohnDoeisoverparty and all the tweets are just “I cannot believe you guys tried canceling him, he’s an angel!”
I've been off of Twitter for over 2 years and have only logged in just to see what is going on. Haven't posted anything though because I'm not sure if I want to go back to that site.
Oh why must you hate Movie Bob? It sucks when a new YT favorite hates an existing one, like mommy and daddy are fighting. Oh well, I guess you only said he's obnoxious, and I can't deny that's true. It's part of the persona to an extent. Another damn fine video in any case, feeding my confirmation bias about avoiding Twitter. Thank you. Still my best sub this year.
I just follow artists and porn accounts. My tweeter feed is almost entirely Japanese/korean/malaysian cause for some reason, Asian artists are drawing better than western comic books artists.
Cheeseboi You make it sound like people don’t know that. They do, they just don’t care about the drawbacks. Same with literally every other addictive substance.
There’s still a small group of people on Twitter who are harmless and wholesome. For example, Dolan Dark and Grandayy just post memes and have fun. That’s the only redeemable quality of Twitter. If that ever goes away, I’m leaving.
They unpersoned carpe donktum. They will come for the rest of the memelords the moment they make content that's not with the main stream media narrative
Tbh that is exactly why I love Twitter. Since everyone there is filled with contempt and know there is nothing to gain, you get rid of all the filters of people wanting decency or to make money. You just get bullshit, as simple as that

What are you a nihilist? People getting their careers ruined through Twitter is objectively bad.
@Ayy Lmao If you really care about seeing politics filter out words like "Politics, Trump, etc" in the settings. So that makes it so you wont see any tweets having those keywords
@Nothing At All "more calm and down to earth" "down to earth" Absolutely wrong. People that use discord are fucking insane, it's like they smoked 2 weed leafs a day. They live in la la land.
Its the theme from the Wii shop channel. Deffinitely copyrighted yeah, however its worth noting that the track itself is an old and long standing meme.
There's something poetic about going from shitting on Twitter to desperately trying to figure out how to get a blue checkmark. Just don't use Twitter lol. You ain't missing anything.
If anyone has read their Kafka, the twitter verification process feels so similar to K. trying to make it into the castle. An objectively impossible task unless you are already an official, or if a very rare, nearly improbable special circumstance arrises.
I mainly use Twitter for art and memes. However I also kind of revel in the absolute utter fucking chaos of the site. It’s a cesspool of insanity and stupidity and in a way I love that. It’s still a shit platform and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I just have a weird sort of masochistic connection to the chaos and discordant insanity.
As someone who's been attached to Twitter for far too long, yeah. Yeah pretty much. Oh, yeah that too. Don't use the site, really, it's more trouble than it'll ever be worth, and for anyone with an online status, it just sounds awful.
Yo, big fan of yours and have always supported your stuff. I've always known you are a conservative, and that's completely fine as I am here to watch really detailed, interesting, and engaging content. However, I just felt the slight diss on Bernie supporters (me being one of them) was a little uncalled for.
Hey emp, nice video, i just wanted to ask if you could make a video on reddit. i remember watching your SOTY podcast about reddit a while ago your arguments were really good, but horribly presented (maybe because you didn't prepare a proper script but instead had to more or less improvise) and i'm pretty sure a lot of people would like a "proper" video on it (or at least i'd like one)
Twitter is another example of the Staff team being one sick joke. I could never get any help from any staff team ever, they are just sitting there, picking their nose and looking at us plebs from above
The reason I use Twitter is for sports news when I go to the trendings tab, it is nothing but a toxic wasteland full of people cancelling each other and scream their views to other people. What a mess...
Did this same thing happen between meme channels a few years ago? I'm sure the larger channels were organising campaigns on discord and using their YouTube and online media contacts to shut down smaller users.
Anyone else noticed emp's riot police helmet, the pile of bricks next to him and the simpson's demonstration background, relating to recent events? I love little details like those. Emp is a genius
I mostly just use Twitter to either see what stupid shit my favorite celebrities are saying or see what stupid shit the world is incoherently arguing about this week.
Literally only use twitter to view meme accounts and a few artists, yet I'm still bombarded by political accounts/shit that I have never interacted with. Like, I don't want to know about your huge disgust about a specific race of people then saying racists are bad in the next sentence. That's brain vomit right there.
Good thing they have ways to block certain words, even if I had to look up /three/ different guides to see how the hell you even get to that section.
I just use twitter to find anime art without having to put in an actual effort, so i can save it to my phone while i laugh at all the mental patients throwing shit at each other.

As the late rapper Stepa J Groggs said “Gotten less checks since I got the blue one So please tell me what the fuck that verifies Twitter feeds don't feed my daughter”
Funnily enough if they stop verifying people surely they can get sued for the same reason why they had to instate verification leading them back to step one; right?
I use twitter only to post art and following other artists. If you follow the right people, it's pretty civil. But some artists (especially from the west side) can still be spamming political bs tho, but it's easy, just don't follow them.
i read Azur Lane news via twitter. I also created the mandy\sseth meme through it. so while awful, it has value when it's not doing anything on it's own
honesty, i only use twitter for the art, memes and news on any gacha game i'm playing, or otherwise my feed will be full of whining and politics that I literally download an extension to block twitter trends.
I know this might be a tad bit controversial but if every bluecheckmark died the world would be a better place, I know there will be some innocents but it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to take
So, twitter is a weird place. I only really am on there because of art(Quite a few really good artists are mostly on twitter.) and because I follow a few youtubers(LGR, Funke, Civvie, EmpLemon, ect.) Its also a good place to find some Open source intelligence aggregator's. Mostly mostly for conflicts and other such news. Its the only way I would have known about India and china having a legit border dispute.
Yep just like what lemon said, I'm just an average guy that can't tolerate twatter. It has no use use for someone who rarely tweet something to gain attention. And for me the site still not user friendly. Compared to facebook back in the day, Facebook is much better and usefull for Sider like me. (SIDER=Silent Reader)
So one thing I will confess to enjoying is news and deals on games. There are some sites dedicated to this like Cheap Ass Gamer, but the layout of the site is pretty dreadful, with parts looking like Reddit, old forum pages, and many other things (Not to mention the owner actively tried to cancel Luckey Palmer due to him making some gag ads for Trump during the 2016 election, so I'm pretty inclined to say screw him)
News sites are usually good with current news, but the consistency on promoting deals and sales are pretty rare. As such that only really leaves some Twitter users like Wario64 who is a friggin' machine with producing deals and some noteworthy news as well. There were a number of other users with a similar premise, but they either left or wound up getting suspended.
Why do I care so much about these deals? Because Wario64 broke the news on this absurd deal at dying Toys R Us. If you bought some pair of sandals, you were eligible to get something (virtually anything) for half off, which included brand spanking new Xbox One X's. They're also great for accessories, collector's editions, and many other things.
Only bout 8 minutes in but here’s a hot take, I like twitters verification system. On YouTube you just need to do this and this and boom! But twitter it has an aura of prestige. Really separates it from other platforms.
Ima be honest, twitter is kinda turning out like tumblr, the only reason you have to go there these days is porn. And perhaps just like tumblr, that reason has a high chance of ceasing existence in the future.
If it wasn't for so many good indie game devs and artists being sucked onto it wouldn't touch twitter with a ten foot fucking pole. It's all garbage. Even Tumblr was less dogshit.
This is a very bad and bias. The whole 27 minutes I was waiting for some sort of punchline or explanation. this is literally just a person being mad or not verified it that's it. And completely missing the point over at a verification is
Due to all the shit that is happening in the country right now, I made the mistake of going on twitter for the past month. My god I can't take it anymore, it has driven me insane and as of watching this video i'm never going back.
Self absorbed egoist and perpetual victims are constantly seeking validation. As a result, everyone has crafted their own personal echo chambers with closeted opinions and there is no room for nuance any where. When ever a blue check mark (specifically the president) makes a post, these echo chambers collide and its an all out insane keyboard war. People taking shit out of context, misrepresenting and misunderstanding one another. Conspiracies being posted left and right without any evidence to back them up leading to further shit storms. Twitter has done nothing to aid in how humans communicate with each other (the waters are muddied even more by giant media conglomerates trying to get clicks and retweets). I personally think that sites like twitter seriously need to rethink their understanding of productive conversations or go the way of Myspace.
Why are your videos so goddamn good? Maybe it's the pure honesty, the raw passion, or the fact your one of the best commentators that is often overlooked. Keep up the great work.
If it wasn't for my freelance artist work, I wouldn't even have a Twitter. It's very good for getting work seen, attracting clients, and networking as you mentioned, but otherwise it is not a site I'm a big fan of, particularly due to the rampant political outrage and toxicity.
Amazing job with this video, EmpLemon! And if I'm being honest, I also don't really use Twitter. Sure, I check on it every now and then to see what commentary I can give in response to certain posts I find interesting, but otherwise I leave soon after entering. Because everything else I see is either not interesting/a topic I've seen many times before, or filled with idiots in the replies section. And as far as I know, this is the only video I've seen that describes this website perfectly: a harmonious sanction in theory, a chaotic mess in practice.
Respect the amount of time and energy that went into this video but I don't think it's possible to understand why most people come to Twitter any less than you seem to
I enjoy your content because you're real. You are not trying to pull the wool over our eyes, or try to collapse a company. You're just trying to inform people of what is going on. Good content, keep it up!
True story. Back in the day when Twatter wasn't a total cesspool I was featured in an article of users to follow. Published by the goddamn national broadcast company. So for the low price of 6k I perhaps could get a blue checkmark for a service I don't even use any more just so that I could seem more important only to argue with idiots, political hacks and trolls.
Twitter has made me lose hope for humanity. People with power feel confident enough with their insanity to threaten to put children with differing political opinions from them through woodchippers.
>our platform promotes speech unless people violate our rules Na-ah! The problem is that there are no rules - only guidelines, which are inherently exploitable. I hope you'll make a video on them one day, Empie.
"you almost need to have some kind of mental dissorder to tolerate this site" this is so fucking true, i remember when i started to use twitter AND IT WAS PHYSICALLY PAINFULL, seriusly, my head hurt for just using the app, my mental health goes to fucking hell when i use twitter for anything but porn.
After watching this I don't want to be verified on Twitter. It wasn't even really something that has crossed my mind even. If I was to revise the system I would have a different verificiation icon for brands and paid partners of different kinds. I think major publicly traded corporate brands and advertisers having a different verification mark would be more appropriate and then just verifying people based on X number of followers and their official ID like any other site would be simple. I really think the concept of Twitter is great but it has truly dissolved into a never ending online grudge match. I'd rather just be mad at someone I sat with once at lunch with in school for posting boomber memes on facebook at the end of the day. Just about a week ago after watching the Joe Rogan podcast with Tim Pool and Jack and Vidjaya (not sure how to spell her name) I deleted the app for a short period of time and removed it from my home screen. I then redownloaded it but now spend a lot less time on it often going days without even checking it and its honestly been a good stress reliever. I mostly just use Twitter to share photos from my Nintendo Switch and links of cool music and videos I like that basically no one responds to and then some thoughts I think are funny and usually no one responds to. I kind of like how how minimalist it is for a small account but at the same token with my account always teetering on just 700 followers I've also been surprised at how much of a reach some of my replies have gotten. I've had millions read my tweets and I do not think my experience in uncommon at all. There is a great reach on Twitter even for small accounts just by replies and tweeting about things you are interested in. Overall though I really hope the site sees the verification issue addressed and becomes less biased and more transparent in how the site works. I'm not much of a Twitch viewer at all but it seems like with whats been going on there for the last few years that Twitch could be headed for a downward spike as well especially with their largest creators rumored to be taking off and starting their own league or being bought out to exclusively stream on other platforms.
I quit twitter when i got suspended after suggesting that someone should have stabbed a dead guy. A totally valid suspension, but boy oh boy did it make me realize that twitter is just a cesspool of garbage that was making me a much angrier person than i needed to be
I’ve been trying to get into twitter for the past couple months. Its hard to have a decent conversation with anyone on there and usually I leave the app feeling worse then when I got on.
I'm at 9:26 after you explained what could make the site in violation of the safe harbor law. And I'm now wondering how Twitter still exists, because now that they are heavily censoring and only allowing things that either go with their beliefs, or things they think would be fun to argue about exist is a pretty clear violation of that whole not taking responsibility clause. Or maybe I still have work brain and over thought again.
Hey Emp, I'd love it if you made some kind of video analyzing what happened to Star_, the TF2 YouTuber, you tend to use a good few of his clips and I've heard you comment on possibly making a video on him in past videos. I think it'd be really interesting, great video though, love your stuff.
This just reminds me of the first social media Myspace, and how it was so cool customizing your page until they changed everything so it wasn't. That's how I got laid in high school boys lmao
Hey, just wanted to let you know, but you missed a frame in blurring out CowbellyTV's Twitter name. I don't know if he said something about his name wanting to be kept hidden, but I just thought I'd say something if that was the case.
I completely forgot about the LameAsChris situation, and I thought after the supposed backlash, something would've happened to him, I checked his twitter, and saw that he's still there
I honestly don't even pay attention to most people's Twitter pages, not even those of content creators, even you, Emp. I just don't feel like I get anything extra out of it.
What's the point for them to have a checkmark, it doesn't do anything good to you. Doesn't give you special treatment or exclusive perks, it just gives you a badge that you can wear and brag to everyone who doesn't care. It's not a sign of superiority, it's just a boy scout badge.
There’s a very small independent music producer I know who has a verified check mark on their personal (not musical) twitter account for playing a role in a Santa Paws Movie when they were a kid.
For new/smaller YouTube creators, Twitter is probably one of the biggest cases of "will you press the button" (the button being the "Sign up" button, of course). Press it and you'll pretty much get direct control over how you want to get your channel's name out to people who otherwise wouldn't have seen it, but at the cost of enduring every other garbage aspect of the website.
I have an account, I open Twitter maybe once a month by accident because the icon is close to FB on my phone. I've met like 3 people in person that use Twitter.
“If you’re a normal user, I don’t know how you can tolerate this place” Post bots. Lots and lots of post bots. Also OOC accounts Shitpostbot5000, fckeveryword, fcukeveryname, pantiesbot2 if I’m feeling frisky
OOCWesternR34, OoCPokemon
Yet somehow I’m following almost 5000 accounts, which more than a couple thousand of them are artists
I fucking hate people on twitter but i can't leave becauee of the good memes, venting mostly political in nature and it's always the most up to date when it comes to news and wtvr.
If you click the little i with a circle around it while an add plays and click stop seeing add it will skip all the currently playing adds instantly with no backlash
Pay to win doesn't matter as long as you aren't Playing to win. I'm not on twitter because I want twitter fame, I'm on there to shit on everyone else's desperation for attention
I think Twitter will go the way of Tumblr when people like Donald Trump and other people who sparks discourse leaves and Trump finishing his term. Trump's the only person I look at Twitter and when he leaves the people who likes to bitch about everything would leave as well, making the only thing Twitter's good for, banter, gone and when people realized how shitty that website is without it would leave as well, turning it into Facebook with only boomers using it.
Welcome to the first and hopefully last episode of Twitter Geographic, because I never want to spend any more time covering this garbage website.

I don't use twitter anymore, so even my video feels dated, but it seems a lot of the debauchery has come from people having to attack or defend eachothers claims...
This should be handled in lawsuits privately, not public drama for the masses. News medias are gonna get the last sting and just attack the community with a 1 line quip that will go viral across all the stations...

1 likeThe Internet: It's OK to say really nasty and mean things to people unless they end up hurting or killing themselves, then it's retroactively not OK... Well, maybe that's over-cynical, it is harder to notice anything even happened if someone just retains psychological damage rather then direct harm against themselves in the moment.
1 like@BearDollars No, they weren't. Self-awareness back then was basically nonexistent in the minds of trolls, and even in sites like Facebook, shit could escalate to doxxing, death threats and into suicide far more commonly than today. You could get this kind of threatment even by already being a legitimante victim of serious harassmentof of people that users liked for whatever reason.

0 likesI think the fact that Twitter doesn't even have an edit button, a feature that's on pretty much every platform imaginable, is very indicative of the site's nature. It's a website that does not forgive and does not forget. Whether it be an unsavory remark someone made a decade ago (that they probably don't even agree with anymore), or even just making a simple typo, it's very clear that Twitter is not a place for those who make mistakes.

Even youtube got a edit button, so you'd think it shouldn't be that hard for twitter to get one.
69 likesYou can delete your tweet though, so it's not that bad
3 likes@Badis Or you can just make sure to send out a Tweet that you personally consider to be perfect, but even that can backfire in the future. Honestly I only use Twitter to have intelligent conversation about video games and comic book super heroes with people online and I use it sparingly, it has worked out well for me.
41 likesYouTube comments always have edit buttons in order to fix any mistakes, and it's pretty neat. The problem is that the "dislike button" in the comment section is more mysterious than I thought it would be.
54 likes@Mr. Friendship The comment dislike button hasn't worked for years.
46 likesI heard at some point that it reduces the comment's visibility internally, but that could easily be wrong.
People hated it when YouTube considered the idea of removing the video dislike button. But they already removed the dislike button from the comments a long time ago. The only difference is they kept the icon for you to click.
@Badis ^
1 like@Chocov 123 ^
1 likeIdk it might be a good thing that Twitter doesn't have an edit button, since Retweets are effectively an endorsement of whatever was said, if people are able to edit their tweets after the fact then you could run into problems like Wendy's retweeting someone who says that they love their food, then edits it to say "Heil Hitler"
7 likes@Noseihtam fair enough, but I'm sure there's gotta be some workaround for that. Maybe you only have a limited amount of time to edit a tweet after the fact? Or maybe there could be a way to see what a tweet originally said before it was edited? I don't know how well these things would work, and maybe the folks behind Twitter have already thought about them, but I think they should still consider the idea. YouTube has a sort of solution like this for the "hearted" comments, where those comments will have the YouTuber's heart removed if the commenter edits their comment after the fact. It's not the most elegant solution, but at least it's something.

Man, I hate the fact that the escaped mental asylum patients known as Twitter users are infesting other sites (I know this because my interests also align with theirs sadly) like Discord for example, I was in this TLOU RP server, and the "discussion" (cough cough echochamber) about racism in America was brought up and one of the mods were claiming that all police institutions were racist and some bullshit without evidence, and then I actually posted some evidence towards the contrary (The FBI crime statistics for 2018) and the mod resorted to saying "lol don't care plus you're white" or something like that (I don't speak stupid so I don't know what chimpanzee speak they were spouting) and tried to delete all my posts, and had their mob of smooth-brains chase me off the server. Now, since I can't really prove this in the YouTube comments (because there's no image posting option for obvious reasons), there was also something about the genocide against native americans and slavery of black people and how all whites were evil racists and whatnot, so, I brought up a case of a currently-ongoing genocide and also brought up statistics about how most of the developing world currently suffers from slavery and human-trafficking, and that the United States fought to end slavery (although the reason was more political rather than moral) and y'know what I got? A landslide of "idc" and "stfu you're white". Yeah... good thing I had that server taken down for gore by later raiding the server like a boss 😎

40 likes@2-D Gaming You don't go to Pornhub for discussion though. Discord's probably the best platform intended for actual discussion, and even then, public servers can still suffer from a lot of the problems that Twitter has. That being said, engaging in Discord servers promotes learning your way around a server's culture in order to communicate in it properly. Whether or not that server's culture is gay or not is a different story though. There's just some servers that are just as bad, if not worse, than Twitter.

"you can't express your opinion cuz your right-wing,"
Not really the truth since being a libertarian or simply disagreeing with the far-left can get you suspended.
"and is that the only reason why you're getting censored?"
Not particularly fond of the implication. Yes, that is literally how little twitter and youtube are concerned about equal enforcement of their rules.
It is general knowledge that one can be banned as a result of being subject to false DMCAs or upsetting the wrong person(s) - suspensions have and do occur for reasons that have nothing to do with illegal activity or violations of the respective terms of service agreement and/or community guidelines.
Speaking of which, community guidelines and twitter rules are intentionally written in a vague manner part in to appease the outrage mob - see youtubes "new" rules on firearms related content - but also so that if you do get suspended or banned, there is no way to falsify that the claim that you have violated their guidelines or TOS. Youtube has even refused to tell you exactly what part of your video violated their community guidelines and what the exact parts of those guidelines are. Karl of InRangeTV - a firearms channel that I am subscribed to - has asked a contact of his as to what exactly is meant by "conversion kits".
Youtube did not offer a clarification to his contact.

I've always had a policy to unfollow on twitter upon the first whiff of witch-hunting or politics, even when I'm in complete agreement. I do this even to my close friends. It's not anything personal, I don't block or mute them or anything, but to me Twitter exists entirely as a meme aggregate. I want to open twitter to laugh and generally have a good time, not be inundated with paranoia and disgust at the world. I'll get news I care about from actual journalists who I trust aren't trying to get me riled up for more clicks, not some industry approved twitter account where thousands of people are after each other's heads in and around the comments.

Quite frankly, having over a decade of Twitter culture to look back on, you'd have to be insane to think that general discourse has a place on Twitter. It's good for, as Emp said in the video, networking and posting funny tweets that get reposted on other sites.

6 likes@Roger Dodger That's a common trap that a lot of people fall into on the left, surprising to see it from those who don't affiliate with the left as well. That trap is believing that the political representation that is seen in online media is representitive of the actual political beliefs of the public. This was prominent when Bernie was running, everyone telling each other to not give up since real life numbers aren't reflected very well in online discourse.
16 likesIn actuality, leftists and rightists aren't more or less prominent than each other at all online, its just that they're split up per website. Tumblr and Twitter being more leftist, Reddit and YouTube being more centrist, and 4chan and other sites (of which i dont know because im not right leaning) being right wing.
So, I do disagree with that % split detailing how many people are far right, right, centre leaning, left, and far left. As a leftist myself I'd say there's actually not many people at all who lean far left, just that the overton window has shifted in a way that anyone who believes in welfare is considered being far left compared to everyone else. But, if the overton window was actually centralised again, then I'd say there's more people I would consider to be far right than far left in america, which makes sense if you consider the origins of america as a country and how it was built off of more traditionaly right values than left values.
Interesting to see how different political perspectives consider the proportion of left:right leaning people to be different - I always think there's waaay too many people on the right online, but maybe it's just me noticing people I disagree with more than I notice people who I agree with. Nice to know that's a thing on the right too. (!)

6 likesI don’t understand how Twitter isn’t counted as a publisher.
2 likes1.) You can disable the ability for people to comment (that also includes the ability for the person tweeting to only allow specific people to reply to the tweet), not really public, sounds like what a publisher does, it can restrict access for people to change the “work” (aka the website itself or the comments).
2.) They acted as if verifying an account is an endorsement of that account’s words or actions, and if they claim not to, and they actually believe that, they wouldn’t have removed a verification mark from someone’s real account unless they find out that account isn’t the real account for that entity. Any other instance is overstepping the purpose of the verification mark and proving you believe that verification is an endorsement, which means you don’t apply as a public form as Emp explained.
3.) There have been many cases of banned accounts with no official reason or seeming out of nowhere bans other than political affiliation or even worse, actions occurring outside of the form, which should immediately remove any protection of Twitter as a “public form” and it should they should held countable as a publisher. As a public form, political affiliation is no legitimate reason for banning and treating it as so by restricting access to the form is a job of a publisher, they don’t give you an actual reason they just say “Twitter rules”, if the action was so bad and rules were they for good reason, why not explain what was done wrong to make it clear to others or even the user in the future? And I don’t think so have to explain the last one why it should remove access to protection but here we go, banning an account for actions committed outside that account (unless the account is used to endorse or coordinate the actions committed by users of that community, this part really for only accounts that represent a community, aka left and right extreme group like ANTIFA and the other right one, United Boys, I think that’s the name, that coordinate rallies and marches that THEY KNOW are going to lead into violence) is wrong, If Ted Bundy somehow had Twitter account and posted before this death (Just imagine stupid blog stuff and showing off food he isn’t going to eat) and after that said nothing but his DOB and DOD, it’s wrong to ban that account as it hasn’t broken any “Twitter rules”, the person who ran it just so happen to a... murder a bunch of women, so being it, that’s not your responsibility to ban the account, the account hasn’t done anything wrong that broke the rules, and if they did, they would be admitting they were a publisher and take responsibility all the actions and words of every account if they feel the need to restrict people beyond the restrictions of a public form.
0:58 The internet in nutshell. It takes like five or more years for people to finally stop hating you even if you learned from your mistakes and willing to change.

2 likesI really like how this guy manages to take a topic which is typically a non-mainstream topic and turns it into the topic of the day.
0 likesHave you considered that people can use a website without any expectation of "moving up"?
1 likeI see Twitter as one of the most widely-used networks with which people from around the world have a semblance of a chance of connecting with some of their favorite creators. To me, that's the point. If there were an alternative to Twitter that banned any sort of automated or non-personal usage of it (bots, corporate accounts, etc.), that might just be the best option.
Also, Facebook still exists for some reason.
Simple fix.

Even then, being a new artist on the sites is very difficult to get noticed. Twitter cropping is the bane of every artist and the algorithm barely promotes us since it promotes more comments that likes which many artist don't have in their pieces. Many big artists coordinate art shares every now and then for comments because they know the struggles of getting traction from the very bottom

@Fun Guy Instagram is garbage for any sort of visual art because of their absurd compression and low image resolution, plus the fact that you can't download images without resorting to third party tools. As a photographer, editing a picture to post it on IG is a waste of time, because the compression will fuck it up beyond recognition.

Twitter is that one thing you get because your friends, favorite youtubers, and favorite game developers use it.
3 likesVerification is exactly that. Verifying you are the real public figure and not a fake. At least that’s how it started. People really blew it out of the water. I think instead of a blue check mark it should be something more subtle to identify them as that person. Don’t know what it should be but hopefully it will lead to less people thinking the blue check mark means you’ve made it as a public figure and having people worry about it.
3 likesIf Twitter actually saw this video and thought about it I’d be very surprised. They’re probably so in their own echo chamber that they’d never even google criticism about their bs website.

The whole format attracts the lowest common denominator because it's all mindless consumption. All forms of interaction are dwindled down to short quips and unfinished thoughts. The population that primarily interacts on twitter are the worst because the site is set up that way for it. People who don't have attention spans or complete thought are the ones that find the best time on twitter because it is made for them.

Trust me, I've tried promotion on other sites for years and it isn't merely as effective as on Twitter.
1 likeThere's also the fact that with Tumblr dying and with most art/forum/SMs dying there isn't really much social networks for art except on Twitter. Tumblr is at least better now since there's no longer a toxic community, but the moderation is still somewhat lackluster and suffocating and is slowly getting as bad as Deviantart in how obscure it is.
I really wish I DIDNT have to use Twitter but this is coming from someone who has used alternative social networks for years. There's unironically no hope for the online art community until Pillowfort comes out and changes things.

They can shit out any poorly implemented feature/game, no matter how shitty, and people will eat it up and then thank them for it. Once they do that successfully a few times the bare minimum suddenly becomes their new standard.

This was mostly just an excuse to shit on Nintendo. I’ve never used Twitter.

117 likesAlso, it doesn't help that Twitter with its character limits and overall culture just isn't a suitable platform for discussing politics (and the amount of trolls and stans on there that wish to stifle conversation is fucking infuriating). I'd FAR more prefer that those people move to Reddit because at least on Reddit people would be able to fully express their ideas without the need of character limits and other dumb horse shit, and the media would actually ignore Reddit since the President doesn't have a huge presence on there while boomers like my dad wouldn't have a reason to leave Twitter and would probably enjoy his time on there more. As for the issue of how that would affect artists: all i can tell them is to adapt and to keep posting their SFW art on the site. You could easily lock NSFW stuff behind patreon paywalls.
Overall, we'd probably actually return to some level of normalcy that was present before the beginning of the Trump presidency, and we'd only have to worry about fighting the mainstream media as opposed to fighting the mainstream media & the Twitter Mob at the same time. I really just don't see why the mainstream media would side with Reddit, its way too decentralized and broken up due to the nature of subreddits.

11 likesDo you like your porn to be free? Cause that's how you don't get it to be free. Not to mention it doesn't work, trust me, noone's gonna follow you if you never post actual porn if you're a porn artist. You'll get your small circle of followers on patreon keeping you afloat for a bit, but it'll shrink overtime until you don't have enough, and since you no longer have another platform to turn to you'll just fade into obscurity. I've seen quite a few examples of this. The best performance is achieved not by paywalling everything but by achieving a good balance between free and paid, which is more skewed towards free than you may think, the best performing artists, excluding few exceptions regularly post freebies and only keep some things paywalled, depending on the content it may range from 25% free 75% paid to 85% free 15% paid, but if you post nothing for free that people can use to discover you falling into obscurity is inevitable

@DawnPraiser you know, smaller subs are not bad in my opinion. stuff like insert band circlejerks are not only good for lighthearted silly jokes, but also honest and laid back discussions on semi-serious/serious topics because of the nature of the subs. all of it goes down once it gets popular enough (okbuddyretard for example [not that good to begin with but it got much worse]). the same goes for normal communities like footballmanagergames, that has had both good memes and nice people helping each other with a pretty complex game.

Sure, people there aren't lynched to death (thankfully!) but the mindset of the people executing the lynching isn't any different from the mindset people had more than 100 years ago, when lynching was an actual thing. And I think that's as sad as it is dangerous. Literal 100-year retards given way more power as a crowd than they should ever be able to hold.

1 likeif people keep seeing stuff like twitter verifications and youtube ads as "endorsement" then it would become one.
1 likepersonally i dont believe that the people making the ads even care about the product, more so are the people playing them and the places the ads end up.
ads never fit into context and are designed to be out of context, that is why ad placements in movies can be so jarring when you notice it.
also this is a big one but who said that any big company endorses anything but themselves, of course they would endorse other products but that is only when money is exchanged for said endorsement.
as an outside person who does not use twitter I just want to say that if the twitter tick is a pointless sign of endorsement, and a failure of a system of validation,
AND IT CANNOT BE BOTH.
Twitter is like crack cocaine except you don't get the high and the side effects are a thousand times amplified.

The internet in general isn't the same place as it was back in 2011. I consider 2011 the last good year for the internet. Everything's been going downhill since then. Politics has seeped into everything and internet censorship is to the point where social media sites feel like the internet version of North Korea.

And then literally less than two hours after this video is released, the official Twitter account makes another post doing the exact thing Emp talked about. They mocked the calls for an Edit feature by saying the platform would get it if everyone wears a mask. A compound joke, both insensitive to the world climate with the pandemic going on and how people have the audacity to believe wearing a mask is akin to being muzzled or unable to breathe, and then also yet another entry into the long history of Twitter's management not giving a damn about what their users really want, and making fun of them.

0 likesSocial media needs moderation, which is always a problem because you have lots of users making lots of posts and little revenue coming from any individual post. Algorithms help, but smart users looking for attention can always find ways to game them, so a human has to be the last line of defense. At Twitter in particular, you get politically relevant content on a site that's become like a public utility, has millions of posts per day, and yet is ostensibly free... of course they end up sucking up to major businesses with ad revenue at stake, and of course they ignore people with no cash in the game. There's no other way to run it profitably, and if you made it a public utility somehow, you'd have to raise money for it which would piss off voters or demand a per-user fee, and that would lead people to substitute a different platform.
It's worse but similar to Youtube, which demonetizes for bad reasons, but you can't be surprised at this: imperfect algorithms mean the creator has to appeal everything to an actual human, which takes forever and in some cases alters the content to get around the censorship. They have no choice. They can't let you post whatever, but they also can't watch every video filtering for sneaky messaging or unusual types of extreme content. I dislike basically everything about Twitter, but like Youtube, I sympathize with the need to run the thing in a way that makes it both usable and not alienating for most people, while the complaints from the smaller, less cashed-up users come off as navel-gazing and kind of childish.
Good video, thanks for the info, but cut them a bit of slack. Maybe the new ownership will solve a problem or two.

54 likesDude Twitter is just diet tumblr.
I still use tumblr and honestly, the sites become a lot more tolerable since the porn ban. a lot of the shitty people there said "this sucks. i hate tumblr. im moving to twitter" and they did. so whats left is still very far left, but not as outwardly batshit and has one of the most fresh non-stolen meme communities ive seen.
38 likesalso, because of the fact that tumblr is financially worthless, the staff just dont even bother with advertising or trying to network the site. it makes it a really nice place where your family cant find you (like they have on almost every other platform ive tried), and youre not cursed with depressed sunny-D. there's also no shitty verification system since you cant even see how many followers your peers have, so whats the point of a verification? being tumblr famous only gets you invasive anonymous asks and puts you at the centre of the discourse tornado that occasionally passes by; its better to NOT be famous on there.
literally i remember the days when you could EDIT OTHER PEOPLES POSTS. the management team is so incompetent it makes the place really fun if you follow the right accounts.
It's what Tumblr DID too. Like that girl the rabid mob drove to suicide for drawing Steven Universe characters thinner than they really were.

Tbf, considering Twitter's current (and most likely definitive) state, adding a standard edit button could fuck things up considering all the wack shit people say there, and how much others use that very shit to /accuse/cancel/expose/raise awareness on those very people.
42 likesThe site has fallen that low with its community, and no amount of typos will ever change their mind about not adding such feature.
@Succubastard 101 Every viral joke tweet will get an Edit: Wow this blew up! Don't forget to follow me and check out my IG and....
22 likesAlso politicians lying about things they said, or people editing viral tweets that said one thing to say another to promote a message they're trying to get out.
murpyh to be fair that’s what screenshots are for though
0 likes@bababababababa but screenshots can be doctored/photoshopped/whatever. In fact, its very trivial to, on Chrome, right click on a tweet, click the "inspect" option which will bring you to the relevant HTML in Chrome's Dev Tools, and change the text inside of a tweet. In this way, you can change the message in a tweet whilst still having the same formatting and style that the Twitter site automatically applies to the tweets(so, no way to differentiate from a legit tweet), and then you can screenshot that.
12 likesI think that probably the only way to guarantee seeing a tweet as it was before it was deleted would be to use a trusted 3rd party site, such as the Wayback Machine, which can take snapshots of websites in time, and has been applied to tweets as well.
@murpyh I've seen people reply to their own viral tweet just to mention that it blew up and plug something. It probably isn't very realistic to do the last two examples and get away with it, I'll give you that, but arguing that an edit button would result in plugging and "thanks for the gold" type stuff is kind of moot when that already happens; it's like how the comment to like ratio is used as a substitute for dislikes.
3 likesThat is true. The Edit button is fundamental to social media, and it's very irritating Twitter doesn't have one. Obviously, I used it here (the paranthetical next to this).
3 likesOn another hand, does it seem also like EmpLemon has this weird protective complex of a president who is a piece of human garbage?
"...a petty pissing contest with America's president..."
The guy was spreading conspiracy theories and falsehoods! He needed to be held accountable--and don't call me an SJW or something like that.
@Succubastard 101 I disagree. Doesn't Twitter allow you to delete tweets? I'd agree with you if twitter kept every tweet indefinitely but unfortunately they don't. Any twitter account or post can be scrubbed off the face of the earth in a matter of seconds by deletion. Adding edits would have zero effect in those regards.

Reddit is the laughing stock of the internet. A 14 year old kid scammed users of r/AMA out of hundreds of dollars of awards last week. He made up a sob story claiming he had brain cancer. Reddit is filled with these sob stories. People are only angry at him because he later admitted he lied.

2 likesI'd say both Twitter and Reddit are shit, but (and I hate to defend Reddit) Reddit is less shit. Why? Because there are a few useful communities in there, about videogames, modding, programming, whatever other interests you have, it's there. And the posts there can be very useful and informative. Since they're not limited to 140 characters, it's a good place to find information, links, recommendations of other websites with even more information, etc.
12 likesWhat does Twitter have in comparison? Hashtags and a limit of 140 characters? A huge focus on trending topics and latest tweets? Even 'good' accounts are useless as an information archive because of how twitter works. Not that reddit is perfect in that role (mostly because of censorship), but its certainly better than Twitter.
@unocualqu1era Same can be said with Twitter though, there will be people there who share the same interests as you.
0 likesSame with youtube and Instagram and more. Reddit just has places dedicated for these specific fanbases/groups.
The biggest problem with reddit is that majority of top subs are controlled by a small amount of the same mods

Twitter is good for artists to share content and annouce rafts/commissions.
0 likes8:00 Though it is messed up that this occurred without explicit evidence, I do agree that the culture around verification, even if people intellectually understand what it is, can be seen as an endorsement unconsciously due to how it’s been built as a symbol of cultural importance, even if that wasn’t the intent and/or function.
11 likesTwitter was never real.
0 likesI have never understood the appeal of Twitter. Facebook, YouTube and Reddit are all much better.
0 likesIsn't twitter instagram and facebook but instead of selfies it's non stop text?
0 likesTo me twitter is just a magnifying glass of art sites like Furaffinity and Deviantart, except instead of one theme or a genre it's more focused for you to see more of someone's art and quicker than they update their deviant art. Then there's others's art and pictures as well with the same theme. But mostly the main twitter's art.
So I don't follow or use it, I just look up artists I like to see more of their art, nothing else.

But alas, I got into yiff out of trying to fit in because nothing seemed to be working out for me in the search for friends and now I am just torn between my "good" "christian" values and having to conform to the "quirks" of the fandom in order to be noticed. The "misconceptions" of the fandom are now parody or the truth at the convenience of its members.

I fucking hate twitter every time i see the platform I wonder why people go there instead of more personable platforms like discord, reddit, or Facebook (despite all their glaring problems I still see them as superior places compared to twitter) it's like these people have never talked to a human before so now they have to belligerently attack anyone thinking that's how socializing works. Than when I try going on the site I get suspended for literally no reason. Seriously, I followed a bunch of creators I liked and started lurking the site for about 3 days until whoops I said something in the comments of a youtuber I liked, a friend of theirs asked who I was and got suspended for saying "your mom". Fuck it, that site is fucking bullshit and I hope anyone going there stays because I never wanna speak or even hear from them ever.

0 likesI think you misunderstood the communications decency act. The whole thing about it is that despite them being publishers (moderating content) they shall not be treated as one. This is because it would basically be impossible to do any moderation at all. Before the cda you either had to be completely lawless clusterfuck or just not exist because moderation of any form was impossible
6 likesReplies (2)
The whole "let's treat them like publishers by cda standards and ruin under lawsuits" talk comes from conservative side of social media. The main idea that moderation in Facebook, Twitter and Twitch abuses moderation beyond "good faith", as they ban inconsistently and often for no reason stated in the law itself. Through currently cda have pretty blury lines in this regard, so unless cases which protect platforms from liability when silencing content will be clearer defined in cda modification, sites will be immune from any threats of becoming publishers legally.
1 likeModeration can always have occured on Twitter.
0 likesIt's just Twitter may lack the resources to want to do it (because they are bad at generating revenue for a business), along with the site appearing to have moderation issues.
If an entire country can regulate its people based on what news they have access to, I feel any organization could do the same on their own digital platform.

0 likesFrom a business perspective, it makes sense that they turned the verified badge into a corporate commodity. I mean, when your platform basically has no other way to make money, it's a smart move.
1 likeHowever, it's clear that Twitter doesn't really care about its users, and you did a great job of illustrating exactly that in this video. I am a very infrequent user of Twitter, as I just cannot be bothered with being inundated with bullshit constantly. That is to say, while there are a good number of accounts that I "follow" because I like reading what they post every so often, I tend to find that if I spend more than 10 minutes at a time on Twitter, I inevitably come across some idiot spouting nonsense either from their own initial tweets or comments under someone else's. Twitter just cannot help itself from pointing me in the direction of these people, and if it's not them, it's some stupid ad disguised as a random tweet (those are fucking everywhere) or a link to a clickbait article, or just trending bullshit that I am purposefully trying to ignore.
In fact, it really doesn't even take 10 minutes, it's more like 10 clicks. On Twitter, you're never more than 10 clicks away from something that is purposefully designed to piss people off.
I tend to therefore stick to accounts that I know well, and I also tend to stick to positivity. I try to stick to positive posts and I try to make positive posts. I rarely say anything even remotely argumentative on Twitter because getting into an argument on Twitter is like arguing with a mentally handicapped person who speaks a foreign language while your mouth is full of cotton balls. It's a complete waste of time, they'll never cede to your point even if they manage to grasp it, and if your point requires any sort of context or nuance at all, you won't have nearly enough characters to explain it without making multiple tweets, which is just tedious especially given the aforementioned pointlessness of it all. And the best outcome you can hope for is that one or two people agree with the point you made while the rest of the people who bothered to read it just think you were bullying a mentally handicapped person.
Being on Twitter for more than one minute is brain rotting. I can literally count the brain cells leaving my brain when I'm on Twitter.

this was kinda an unreasonable take on the situation. they’re a company that needs to make money to survive. there are a lot of other things about twitter that make it valuable, such as the ability to defuse information relevant to small and local groups. in general, its use is for giving a platform to its users. people are generally very shitty on the internet, so the behaviors exhibited on twitter shouldn’t be surprising.

21 likesMore towards the middle of the video, it's weird seeing the YouTuber make a much more formal message than that which the brand responds back =(Oɷo)= .
Your blurring of names is imperfect, by the way, and can easily be bypassed by scrubbing individual video frames using the period and comma keys. At around 17:32, Cowbelly's legal name is clearly visible by scrubbing to the first frame their profile appears, and the blurring lingers a while after the frame ends too. To be fair, though, their legal name is also visible if one goes to the small spike in archives of their Twitter profile on Archive.org, so if someone is determined enough they would be able to find it pretty easily anyways.
Around the 24 minute mark, Reddit also feels like Soviet Russia, especially more recently.

Pornhub verification seems like it would be useful for legal liability purposes, to reassure governments and guilty fappers that they're not platforming revenge porn or passing off footage of minors, sex trafficking victims, and involuntary prostitutes as consenting sex workers or amateurs (although professional adult porn performers likely don't have it much better most of the time).

Ya figure? I'm usually operating only on Pixiv and it seems Twitter isn't really doing it for me.
4 likesI'll acknowledge that it's definitely a widely used platform for digital artists these days, but it is most certainly not "great" for them in any sense aside from barebones networking. DeviantArt blows it out of the water, and other sites like Pixiv, Tumblr depending on the type of content you make, and smaller ones catered to unique audiences tend to be just as effective.
7 likesI'll tell you at least that Twitter is godawful for FANS of digital artists, because it's an absolute chore to slog through a timeline filled with unrelated drivel to try and find specific pieces of art that people like you upload.

11 likesCopy Pasta on my thoughts.
0 likes----
I feel like a platform using the Twitter interface, that:
-Allows you to show or get shown Digital Artwork and Music (no selfies/cosplay)
-Was properly regulated to curate mature and for kids content
-Linked with other social media sites for easy verification
-Lacked chat communication outside of a few emote choices such as Heart, Thumbs Up, LoL
Would go a long way.
Add slight improvements to the interface over time as demand is discovered, and a quick way to link a Patreon, SubscribeStar, Kofi, or Venmo...
BOOM. Instant classic.

0 likesI spent about three months on Twitter before I ran screaming. I tried to be smart and only follow people I knew, liked, and admired, but I only ended up hating those people as I watched them rage and shriek over every little thing like toddlers. And then there were the alt-right people screaming about "the gays" and "wimmins" in every convo thread ever, no matter how divorced from the original topic it is. And don't get me started on all the empty virtue signaling on whatever the hot topic of the week was.

0 likesAll this info is really interesting.
0 likesI do use twitter but I mostly follow Japanese artists and my experience so far has been really nice. I go, I look at some nice art I comment and from time to time I get to interact with those people I like. I think that's the point of twitter, being able to actually interact with a famous person.
I don't really get out of there, I can say I am in a "bubble" where everything works nicely and I haven't seen too much drama. Not to say it doesn't exists but I've noticed it particularly happens on the "western" side of twitter.
Now, as an anime PFP comment you'll be tempted to discard me, that's fine. I just want to say that I am in no way worshiping japanese at all, they to some really shady stuff and can be pretty messy.
What I mean is that, at least my experience, has been really positive. I follow artists from different parts of the world, from argentina to Malasia and... maybe it's because artists don't really get thaaat big on youtube it's why it seems so "peaceful"
Or at least... I don't feel like people want to kill each other all the time and argue over pretty much nothing.
I guess we all lost vision of what twitter was supposed to be.
Man, I just use Twitter for artists I like. I try to keep my Twitter experience as positive as possible

I agree with a lot of what you said and I know you probably wanted to avoid politics but what are your thoughts on how Trump's affected Twitter? Particularly the weight that verified accounts hold? I feel like no one used to take Twitter seriously until the POTUS decided that would be his preferred choice of media to talk to the masses. The ratio of tweets from Trump v Obama is daunting.

0 likesSo, twitter is a weird place. I only really am on there because of art(Quite a few really good artists are mostly on twitter.) and because I follow a few youtubers(LGR, Funke, Civvie, EmpLemon, ect.)

0 likesYep just like what lemon said, I'm just an average guy that can't tolerate twatter. It has no use use for someone who rarely tweet something to gain attention. And for me the site still not user friendly. Compared to facebook back in the day, Facebook is much better and usefull for Sider like me. (SIDER=Silent Reader)
0 likesSo one thing I will confess to enjoying is news and deals on games. There are some sites dedicated to this like Cheap Ass Gamer, but the layout of the site is pretty dreadful, with parts looking like Reddit, old forum pages, and many other things (Not to mention the owner actively tried to cancel Luckey Palmer due to him making some gag ads for Trump during the 2016 election, so I'm pretty inclined to say screw him)
0 likesNews sites are usually good with current news, but the consistency on promoting deals and sales are pretty rare. As such that only really leaves some Twitter users like Wario64 who is a friggin' machine with producing deals and some noteworthy news as well. There were a number of other users with a similar premise, but they either left or wound up getting suspended.
Why do I care so much about these deals? Because Wario64 broke the news on this absurd deal at dying Toys R Us. If you bought some pair of sandals, you were eligible to get something (virtually anything) for half off, which included brand spanking new Xbox One X's. They're also great for accessories, collector's editions, and many other things.
Wait... a brand follows you on Twitter?
0 likesOnly bout 8 minutes in but here’s a hot take, I like twitters verification system. On YouTube you just need to do this and this and boom! But twitter it has an aura of prestige. Really separates it from other platforms.

2 likesSelf absorbed egoist and perpetual victims are constantly seeking validation. As a result, everyone has crafted their own personal echo chambers with closeted opinions and there is no room for nuance any where. When ever a blue check mark (specifically the president) makes a post, these echo chambers collide and its an all out insane keyboard war. People taking shit out of context, misrepresenting and misunderstanding one another. Conspiracies being posted left and right without any evidence to back them up leading to further shit storms. Twitter has done nothing to aid in how humans communicate with each other (the waters are muddied even more by giant media conglomerates trying to get clicks and retweets). I personally think that sites like twitter seriously need to rethink their understanding of productive conversations or go the way of Myspace.
You are by far my favorite channel here on YT. Thanks for making such high quality content. Your fans definitely appreciate the effort

Sure, I check on it every now and then to see what commentary I can give in response to certain posts I find interesting, but otherwise I leave soon after entering. Because everything else I see is either not interesting/a topic I've seen many times before, or filled with idiots in the replies section. And as far as I know, this is the only video I've seen that describes this website perfectly: a harmonious sanction in theory, a chaotic mess in practice.

0 likesTrying to get verified on twitter can send anyone on a downward spiral
0 likesAfter watching this I don't want to be verified on Twitter. It wasn't even really something that has crossed my mind even.
0 likesIf I was to revise the system I would have a different verificiation icon for brands and paid partners of different kinds. I think major publicly traded corporate brands and advertisers having a different verification mark would be more appropriate and then just verifying people based on X number of followers and their official ID like any other site would be simple. I really think the concept of Twitter is great but it has truly dissolved into a never ending online grudge match. I'd rather just be mad at someone I sat with once at lunch with in school for posting boomber memes on facebook at the end of the day. Just about a week ago after watching the Joe Rogan podcast with Tim Pool and Jack and Vidjaya (not sure how to spell her name) I deleted the app for a short period of time and removed it from my home screen. I then redownloaded it but now spend a lot less time on it often going days without even checking it and its honestly been a good stress reliever. I mostly just use Twitter to share photos from my Nintendo Switch and links of cool music and videos I like that basically no one responds to and then some thoughts I think are funny and usually no one responds to. I kind of like how how minimalist it is for a small account but at the same token with my account always teetering on just 700 followers I've also been surprised at how much of a reach some of my replies have gotten. I've had millions read my tweets and I do not think my experience in uncommon at all. There is a great reach on Twitter even for small accounts just by replies and tweeting about things you are interested in. Overall though I really hope the site sees the verification issue addressed and becomes less biased and more transparent in how the site works. I'm not much of a Twitch viewer at all but it seems like with whats been going on there for the last few years that Twitch could be headed for a downward spike as well especially with their largest creators rumored to be taking off and starting their own league or being bought out to exclusively stream on other platforms.
I feel I made the right decision to never touch Twitter.

0 likesI'm at 9:26 after you explained what could make the site in violation of the safe harbor law. And I'm now wondering how Twitter still exists, because now that they are heavily censoring and only allowing things that either go with their beliefs, or things they think would be fun to argue about exist is a pretty clear violation of that whole not taking responsibility clause. Or maybe I still have work brain and over thought again.

0 likesYou know your site is bad when Edmodo is doing to better
0 likesI think Twitter will go the way of Tumblr when people like Donald Trump and other people who sparks discourse leaves and Trump finishing his term. Trump's the only person I look at Twitter and when he leaves the people who likes to bitch about everything would leave as well, making the only thing Twitter's good for, banter, gone and when people realized how shitty that website is without it would leave as well, turning it into Facebook with only boomers using it.
