was that a star_ thumbnail    edit: star_ footage! yes yes yes! i miss that man


This is why I only use twitter for unfunny memes and hentai.


Emp why aren't I getting notifications whenever you upload? This is like the 3rd time dude


Twitter.... omfg... so much shit.. <br>I'm at a loss of words about that graveyard fire

Twitter.... omfg... so much shit..

Got recommended bro! I glad enjoy the video from indonesia!

Crazy how steak-umm's responded his dm like a human in a society


Thanks for another great vid. Twitter cray


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.


Hold on I'm a sub and this is the first time in a year  I've been told emp made a new video<br>Fkin yt manipulation

Hold on I'm a sub and this is the first time in a year  I've been told emp made a new video
Fkin yt manipulation


I use Twitter because people draw hentai On there. <br>Am I funny yet please laugh

I use Twitter because people draw hentai On there.
Am I funny yet please laugh


Please do a never ever on lancia in group b rally


I made an account back in 2017... went back to check in 2018 - it was following 2000 accounts writing in Farsi or whatnot... yeah...


is it bad i immediately recognised the star_ clip?


You can simply shitpost for the joys of shitposting


this is why u should just use twitter to interact with schizophrenics and get anime recommendations


Nice sneaky Castlevania music in the back. Took me a sec.


Twitter have a lot of hentai that all I need


I actually use twitter to get my switch recordings cuz nintendo


awww man is that some dankmus?!!?!?!?!

hell yeah!


okay 4min
and realizing
nah, I don't care enough for twitter to even watch that


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.<br>Even Tumblr was less dogshit.

16:56 and another star_ video! you better give my boy a link in the description buddy


I only use twitter because of Stangest Videos on the internet account. Funny stiff there


I originally got a Twitter to get a Roblox hat, never touched it again


I'm surprised EmpLemon doesn't have connections with iDubbbz.


I stoped watching this video to go back to Twitter what is wrong with me?


Edmodo lmfao I remember that from like 6 years ago


<b>Twitter in a nutshell: REEEEEEEEEEEE</b>


I have a banned twitter account with 0 posts...


4:49 NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE


Didn't get this notification even though i have subbed to your channel and notification bell on


Maybe this video was made 6 months before the whole thing went down?


Мбн Цринге Бох


This didn't age well with the carson stuff


I mean I kinda knew emp was right leaning politically.. But i actually laughed out loud at being a Bernie fan makes you militant.


anyone who uses twitter for anything else than memes and porn, is is i idk  sick ?


My account got suspended on Twitter my new Twitter account with 5 or so tweets


It's not worthy it .<br>Just like the YouTube and his cencorship happy and corrupted platforms .

It's not worthy it .
Just like the YouTube and his cencorship happy and corrupted platforms .


Who cares about a check mark on a dead site.


Twitter? It's pretty fucked not gonna lie. But YouTube geographic is why I come back for emp.


yo how are all of your exibited channels those channels I love


Whats that swank track hitting at 10:24?


The checkmark is actually white and not blue, sorry sweaty


yo if thats the case Verfied my dead homie that called kelly clarkson fat and was on national news the next day lmao.   RIP homie .  RIp


I just to on twitter to see Elon musks tweets


Just go on japanese twitter it has great hentai artists and rarely any political nonsense I recommend following shuugetsu karasu and hews hack

At that point you should just go to Pixiv.


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

26:39 Counters your 3rd line. 4:31 counters your first line. Thw whole video itslef counters your 2nd line.


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.


You are by far my favorite channel here on YT. Thanks for making such high quality content. Your fans definitely appreciate the effort


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.


God emp i love your videos so much. So well documented and edited, well researched and quality. Never stop friend :)


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.


AS always …. Just as Devious as the Insanity Itself.

Also, that was a Well-done Document and I hope you rest and work well.


emp always manages to say what we're all thinking


Amazing job with this video, EmpLemon! And if I'm being honest, I also don't really <i>use</i> 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.

I will never understand how anyone thinks they can have civil discussion on a platform that limits you to 280 characters.


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.


16:28 Wow. Kinda crazy to think about how two creators I enjoy who are seemingly completely unrelated actually talked to each other. Small world(?)

Edit: AND he talked to Cowbelly. Huh. Really small world(?)


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.


Another great video as always, and Speaking of blue--

Nicholas Salerno: Another word, and you're gone!

(P.S. You don't have to do this Emp, but of you want to, then more power to you.)


>our platform promotes speech unless people violate our rules<br>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.

>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.


Congradulations. You did the impossible. You made me hate Twitter even harder.


This entire video is making me not regret having my time on twitter scheduled.


Trying to get verified on twitter can send anyone on a downward spiral


After watching this I don't want to be verified on Twitter. It wasn't even really something that has crossed my mind even. <br>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 feel I made the right decision to never touch Twitter.


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 only use Twitter for following Anime illustrators' doodles (mostly Japanese), and it's a much more peaceful and delightful experience in general.


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.


I would love to see EmpLemon try and get a blue check mark on Twitter in today’s climate.


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.


I enjoy watching your videos, thanks for that.


That was an unexpected cameo by PapaGeno's! What a nice fella.


Your stark cynicism and frank perspective is refreshing


Emp, HOW DO YOUR VIDS KEEP GETTING MORE ENTERTAINING?!?


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


I decided to take a break from Twitter in June, and while I decided to end it this Independence Day, I'm not sure I want to use this site anymore.


Thanks for including Gus Johnson in this vid. He deserves, like, 10 million more subscribers


There will never ever be another YouTuber like Filthy Frank


you know what's funny about this? hardcore twitter users feel the same way about youtube.


See, this documentary was great, but the big takeaway here is that EmpLemon listens to Dankmus too, confirmed good taste


Remember when the internet thought Tumblr seemed worse than Twitter?


Never heard of steak-ummm before but damn that shit looks good.


let's be honest, it's their fault for using twitter lol


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.


Twitter wants to be seen as a utopia, so why does it feel like I'm in Soviet Russia?

Well, because Soviet Russia is what Twitter thinks a utopia should look like.


7:45 ... "surely no-one at twitter would endorse any of their actions" yeah, uh, sure.


steakumm coming in clutch with the secret information


6:44 can we talk about how he was texting max at 3 in the morning?


Twitter is the biggest mistake to ever happen even more so than the virtual boy


never thought i'd hear the word edmodo on any internet content let alone this video


It's the hardest achievement in the game


Holy shit Alpharad and EmpLemon in one video.


most SFM and Blender animators share their work there!

FOR FREE!

so thats one


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 want so badly out of that rat race but I like art and memes that I can only find there, regardless of how little it originates there.


You keep teasing it, Lemon, so when is the STAR_ documentary?


03:25 god that image brought back memories


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.


Damn, emp name dropping Richard spencer. Screw that wignat


Emp you should make a geographic about incels it'd be really intresting


That Cheez IT DMCA thing is the funniest fuckin thing to happen on Twitter, idc what anyone says


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.


The Blue Checkmark cries out in pain as he blocks you


26:43 the US healthcare system summed up in one sentence 😆

@bitdrive enjoy waiting 5 months for your life saving surgery

Michael Harrison Lol enjoy your 5000$ ambulance ride


Why do you care?<br>You endorse all of this by participating.

Why do you care?
You endorse all of this by participating.


Why you gotta expose my boy Fuentes out here 😂


You will never get a job at The New York Times


At 17:33 is the blurring block not lining up for the first few frames on purpose or is that a legit mistake?


Your ad placement at 10:22 was clean af. lol


Twitter is good for artists and fan groups. I have no idea what people outside of niche communities use it for.


Neighbours from Hell 2 baybee, that was my childhood. (Yes, that's all I took from this video)


you unlocked a memory when you said edmodo....


you left one frame of cowbelly's name in


I tried using twitter, but everyone was so fucking toxic that I couldn't take it


<b>That one time a person on reddit faked cancer for "internet awards"</b>

*That one time a person on reddit faked cancer for "internet awards"*


Hearing more of esprit's music in your videos. I like it


shitposting and art are probably the only good things about twitter


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'm just going to send this to everybody when they ask why I hate Twitter.


3:31 calmed me because dark screen but because of what he said and light screen a second later confused me and I had to go back


being verified on twitter is nothing more than a status symbol, just another to brag about that isn't follower account.


Can we please get a documentary on the ‘bad bitches’ of Twitter?


Love the random audio clip of Naruto's Artificial Intelligence


You have nothing to gain but everything to lose


I can't believe I actually used to trust MovieKnob


Emp omg please PLEASE link me that cash register sound you used, I've been looking for it forever


I'm glad I don't have a Twitter, and just will never want to get one...


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 know that Matt Watson from Supermega got verifed I think this year or really really recently.


Yo I get so excited when I get an emplemon notification


Twitters only saving grace is porn and art.


Ah, my favorite YouTuber shit talking my least favorite social media. Great vid


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.


3:25 is that a ster reference.... “WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?!?!”


There is one frame near 17:07 - 17:08 where you failed to blur out Cowbelly's name, Graham Heavenrich.
Critical's voice is de-synced from the video.


my account on Twitter was shut down months ago because they noticed I was under 13 when I made it. perhaps it was for the best.


18:40 there's a frame where the name isn't blurred


Why's everything gotta be fucking Deus Ex in the current year?


How in the fuck is Twomad verified then!?


The thing is.... They are still verifying new accounts.<br>NBC created an account in JUNE, it is verified. At the time I saw it only had 300 followers

The thing is.... They are still verifying new accounts.
NBC created an account in JUNE, it is verified. At the time I saw it only had 300 followers


How the fuck does Count Dankula have a tick


Woah!! Nick Fuentes is shown too? Yo epic


Tempted to build an alternative to Twitter, should I do it


who else has never heard of the brand steakumm


I honestly should probably just use pixiv considering how I use Twitter


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


switching from red and black to blue and white


to be fair, would it really be twitter if it wasn't complete shit?


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


So many blue checkmarks
>It's disgusting

*So many blue checkmarks*
_>It's disgusting_


Emp is the only documentary Youtuber who actually summarizes instead of reading his sources word for word.


Bruh you can get verified on edmodo what?!?!?!!?


bruh i spent 10 mins on there i have deleted my account after those 10 mins


You can get a blue check mark by being a leftist activist


mastodon! mastodon! mastodon! move to mastodon.social comrades


I use it for
Sports News and Updates
Reuters and AP

thats about it really


Kinda weird how sunnyD had 911 comments at 11:59 not saying anything definite but makes you think 🤔


You know your site is bad when Edmodo is doing to better


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.


lol at 5:40 you can the dub over of a pressumbly wrong date. Idk why im commenting this I just thought it was neat.


Youtube's comment section is objectively better than Twitter.


<b>thanks to joshprohackz on IG who helped to verify my Twitter account</b>

*thanks to joshprohackz on IG who helped to verify my Twitter account*


I comment so that the algorithm makes this famous


All thanks to #johnhack60 on IG who got me verification blue badge


Honestly Reddit has better free speech than anything at this point

The redditor thought police would beg to differ


At least the NSFW art community is good. follow me @shaisabrec btw


stop using twitter, support alternatives if you can

But where can I find memes and porn at the same site?


tl;dw Inconsistent authenticity creates consistent inauthenticity resentment


yo is the video supposed to be silent or did I lose hearing


This is why I don't use twitter and never will. If they lock verifying your identity behind all this dumb bullshit it's kinda pointless.


I mean, this is basically the only news we have now PewNews is defunct
