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.


What is the point of Twitter? I have not and will never use it.


Ok yeah but at least it’s not Facebook lol


And before this video gets taken down by twitter


I swear, I could watch this guy talk about anything. Also inb4 Steak-umms is banned from twitter for... reasons?

they get banned because of radical vegans somehow


Video: Blue checkmark<br>Checkmark: Is white

i really want to dump stuffs i feel saying somewhere that IS not twitter...


Twitter has a bunch of furry smut artists on it I recall

Just Iron <br>I see twitter being linked more than almost any other social media in the sources section on e621.

Marco Zepeda <br>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.

@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.

The only good thing about twitter is porn

@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.

every time i search "patreon" to see if the site is down i am bombarded with illustrated depravity

@Marco Kitty finally, I'm not the only person on there who noticed

@Marco Kitty i mean shit, what else do you say

Sure as hell it's all I use it for anyhow...


At least Twitter is better than Facebook.


llol my brain registered the word canceled as cancer "you could get cancer"


LMFAO i got a youtube premium ad at 10:19


This comment is out of your video's topic but you should check WWE's Extreme Rules logo, I think they got some inspiration from you.


"When I see emplemon I stop what I’m doing and click"<br> - everyone

"When I see emplemon I stop what I’m doing and click"
 - everyone

Mr. Fancypants sheep’s can’t like on YouTube

Oh you are trying way to heard to write a early commend and get sheep likes


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


Blue check marks are always posting some dumb opinion anyways


"I would love to see emplemon come back and try to survive in the current landscape today"


I only use it for Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter.

Le Youtube has completely blocked me from making any videos, for no reason. Anyone, help.


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


on ifunny the checkmark means hate and that you have reposed your roots


i found like 5 people in this video i watch poggers


cmon guys it's just a freaking blue icon with a white check mark. It's not a big deal


got banned 2 weeks ago never going back!


I just got a Jack Dorsey Ad on this video.


Wait... President Trump once targeted twitter?? Why is still here then? Did he fail??<br>We need somebody to take his place and continue his work...

Wait... President Trump once targeted twitter?? Why is still here then? Did he fail??
We need somebody to take his place and continue his work...


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.


Twitter is so awful. Kiwi Farms has a great slogan, “Don’t be mad at the internet”

@Spencer Easton kiwi farms is worse than stormfront

Kiwi Farms is where people go to pretend to not be mad at the internet.

@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

@chromso you could argue the same of far left posts that are just silly.

If you need examples i can think of a few

Twitter is hilarious tho, look at any far right post that isnt someone being actually logical

I only hope that Section 230 won't be revoked so the Farms can prosper further.

Yoh Slenn Ren use it for memes and promotion, only.


Were can I find the trump clown video meme?


Can you do a never ever on Eddie Guerrero

Asking for another wrestling Never Ever is a big ask.


Wait the name's emperor lemon? I thought it was EMP lemon! BY GOD I HAVE BEEN LIED TO!


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.


finally I got my account verified my the help of dack hacker on IG he's real and legit


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

Moderation can always have occured on Twitter.

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.

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.


Guys it’s really not that complicated it’s just the fucking hunter exam


I know nothing about twitter but I have it


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.


You sir consistently provide amazing insight!


"verified twitter accounts are gay" <br>-Martin Luther King Jr.

"verified twitter accounts are gay"
-Martin Luther King Jr.


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.


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.


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.


This makes me want to think to do something, then watch memes and forget


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


Thanks Emp, I'll strive to never be verified on twitter now.


Holy shit i love your style of reporting stuff, keep it up!


Idk why.. but I’d love to see you do a “never ever” on Jeopardy ..


Probably one of the best videos to talk about how cancerous Twitter is


Main reason I use twitter is for art and cute pets videos XD Having actual discussions on there sounds like a silly concept to me XD


I get so mad about these issues and I have like 20 followers. This content riles me up even though I am not the intended audience. Great job.


22:34 I’m so happy you made that joke, I was waiting for something like that. (not being sarcastic)


Twitter is like watching a car crash compilation on youtube.<br>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 deleted my Twitter, which my friends were sad over....... now they're sad they didn't leave with me


11:42 I personally think it was Sonic the Hedgehog's twitter that kinda started this snowball effect.


That explains why i've never been able to get into or enjoy Twitter.


Thanks for saying “raises the question” instead of “begs the question”.


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.


Im a active twitter user, and yes, that intro is 100% correct


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


i follow professors and art accounts that i enjoy, as well as getting updates on local politicians. i think it’s all about how you curate your feed.


24:44 - coz that's how communists see themselves.


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.


literally the only good thing about twitter is keeping up with jacknjellify


Some of the only 30+ min videos I enjoy watching


As soon as Milo got his removed that thing was ruined. Now you'll notice it's basically just something to prop up their journal buddies


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


I've deactivated my Twitter account yesterday and I already feel much happier


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.

Twitter is trash, watchredditdie is worse than reddit itself and giveaways are cancer and not profitable in the slightest.

Watchredditdie is a cesspool of hatred but ok


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)


"Only those with mental disorders can tolerate Twitter"
Me: psychotic laughter (I just go there for Out Of Context accounts)

"Only those with mental disorders can tolerate Twitter"
Me: *psychotic laughter* (I just go there for Out Of Context accounts)


So basically, twitter's acceptence went down spiral


easy you just have to shill for values you dont believe in, or have nice chesticals


my acc got banned because i did nothing, posted nothing, didnt even have a chace to change my profile pic

@troll face Yeah I had the same issue for 20 different accounts

My account got suspended for nothing, i didn't even tweet at all

@Miscellaneo that's the most likely outcome; I got my account banned on instagram for not using it at all.

Goes to show that twitter's banning mechanism is so arbitrary.


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.


Why am I watching an informative video about a website I hate, and hardly ever touched.<br>9/10

all imma say is that this is actually secretly a steak-umm advertisement. and you thought this was about twitter, hmph, pathetic mortals.


Twitter really is the youtube comments of the internet. Nothing of value, only salt.<br>Also, I'll never forgive Twitter for what it did to Vine. The wrong platform died that day.

i wish u threw more dirt on twitters user base and their management because even this entire video isnt enough to sum up how bad that website is


it means that they will have to be sued for defamation again to start the verification system again


So like everything in media, you need fame and connections.  But you need to get the connections to get the connections...


I will state the same posture I have on Twitter.

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 hear they give verification to just about anyone these days


YouTube: realizes that the verification system is working <br>YouTube: not on my watch!

Hopefully Parler will hold true to it's free speech promises and take over.


To Twitter, that Blue Check Mark is a symbol of Power and hey will bestow it upon those who will benefit only them.


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

I swear I was verified on twitter right up until i saw this video.


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.


the only thing that has kept me on twitter is the memes.


I actually quit Twitter like a week ago and I already feel better


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.


Hey emp, cowbelly’s name is uncensored for a frame or two in the first appearance
Just thought you should know
Amazing video btw


I'm glad I don't have twitter downloaded on my phone and have to go through the hassle of using it on a browser on my phone


"Our platform promotes speech unless people use the <i>wrong</i> speech.  Or we just decide that we don't like your face."

"Our platform promotes speech unless people use the _wrong_ speech.  Or we just decide that we don't like your face."


A small price to pay for a blue checkmark thingy


I just used Twitter to download memes on my phone. I pretty much barely went beyond that or shitposts


I think you bashed it a bit too much, it has some upsides, it's pretty easy to meet people and memes are very easy to share.


I dont have anything to say,just commenting for the algorhytm as you did so much work for this


24:01: Twitter Comms? What's that, Twitter Communists???

I actually agree with Trump on removing the protections for FB and Twitter.


4Chan is a more welcoming place than Twitter.


Jon Prosser has some connections, since he helped Max Weinbach get verified back in February.


I saw a Elon Musk impersonation scambot with a blue checkmark today on twitter


Was waiting for a "blue tick wanker" joke at the end.  Slightly disappointed,  great video though.


I’m going to start Twitter. Wish me luck.(please)


Time to watch this video for the 4th time in a row...


today i learned that pornhub has a veryfication system


Actually I just use twitter as a group chat with my friends.


I’ve never met a person who doesn’t use Twitter.


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.


There will never be another band like gorillaz next


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.


I think the world would be better if Social media with the expectation of YouTube would be better for the world.


Too bad alot of people dont know verification doesnt really matter that much


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.


Check Out Cowbelly’s “Viral Machine” Twitter account and how he got his

Edit: oh... you saw that


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 actually recognized that STAR_ video in the Esports section.<br>I feel very old now, Emp.

I actually recognized that STAR_ video in the Esports section.
I feel very old now, Emp.


The neighbour from hell soundtrack thoooooooooo


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


Imagine thinking that a capitalist company would give a shit about anything but money.


Just saw Emps tweet about Twitter and cane to his channel


17:32 the blur over cowbelly's name is off by 1 frame and is visible @emplem


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).


Someone link me to the Castlevania remix Emp is using.


Pretty telling that a single negative video about twitter brings out all the chuds in the comments


I swear, emp spends most of his time on /r/consumeproduct


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.


everyone laughed when we said G+ was better


Make more never evers! Please oh please make one about Team Fortress 2.


I wasn't suspended for "No Reason", I shitposted too hard.


Tbh if you have twitter (or twatter) just go ahead and put one in your head.


Can you make Never Evers on Convington Kids, Battle of Hayes Pond,  Tsavo Maneaters, and DNA Doe Project?


3:25 I can see that it's either a funke thumbnail or a Ster_/Jerma thumbnail


Appreciate that Gus Johnson’s latest video feature


Get on Parler, people. Twitter is a lost cause and a hellish cesspool.


16:53 i love _star cant forget the old times


I do like WeRateDogs... They're twitter-based

Didn't Sebastian Gorka bitch about Fuentes having verification after he trolled him?


bruh that star_ thumbnail at 3:25 really sent me back


how i work well in twitter? i work well even in cesspools.


In the video I realized Grandayy's pfp is Geralt with a music block head


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.


Can you talk about the on-going trainwreck that is facebook?


For forget since Tumblr is done Twitter has lotta porn


23:34 yikes youtube backed at it faster than sound itself


sure you're verified on twitter, but are you verified, in the eyes of god?


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)


I saw that tf2 footage was from STAR_, amazing work.


great vid bro. you need to work on your keyframes though (jk you probs just slipped up), we can see cowbelly's name at 17:32


fun fact you used to be able to edit tweets


Better give them the 'CHECK' mark for their stupid approvals.


its funny because i always thought i was weird for not using twitter but i guess im most people


I use twitter as entertainment feed and nothing else.


'To find out why, we have to follow the money'
Rolls ad.
Nice.

this is the only time i feel having an adblocker prevents me from having fun

"most upvoted on reddit 2009-2014" might be the saddest thing I have read in a while...

Український Уpод

@Migolas at least if you're the most famous person on Dailymotion, At least it means that a lot of people like you. Unlike Reddit

That's like saying "most popular people on dailymotion"


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


ok but to be fair Grandayy is probably the unfunniest large twitter account on the site

24:39 EmpLemon answers his own question right before asking it

@Nutticus I knew that; my point was that utopian projects have a way of going Soviet

like the USSR

It’s a rhetorical question, he isn’t asking the audience, he asks it to make a point of how similar the site and the country are

My favorite tweet of all time. I'm happy he showed it.


It's big Corp CEO's RPing with their brand mascots lol.

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.


Hey emp nice video, I would love to see you have a discord server so you can chat with your fans and have a good time :D

Emp has a discord. He tried to suppress it and it got taken down recently. There are alt servers.

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 quit Twitter in 2016 after realizing what a shitshow the site was, even back then.


how is artist like me supposed to grow? i make pretty good music now

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


7:57 Hold on, am I crazy? I use Twitter, I swear I saw TONS of people saying verifications equal endorsement. Lots of people still believe this, iirc


there's a journalist with less followers than me and she's verified. i hate this website.


>"The corporate side"
>Tux the Penguin

ffs

Reading 4changlish always leaves me feeling like I just suffered a minor stroke.

Thanks guys. See you next Thursday.


EmpLemon Twitter 1 day ago: "you can have an edit button when everyone wears a mask"


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

yeah sometimes his video topics are so niche and look so dumb but then you actually watch the video and its real interesting


"people have complained that blue checkmarks are endorsements! Time to unverify people we do not endorse!" <br>what? You just MADE it an endorsement ffs

How to get blue checkmark

Raymondjames1220 on IG got mine verified permanently with blue badge I suggest him<br>Big shout out to him

Raymondjames1220 on IG got mine verified permanently with blue badge I suggest him
Big shout out to him


The blue check mark is for corporations, and their pawns. Not for independents.


U dont use and never had a account in twitter nor i know anyone in real life that use it, it is really bizzar


Yet I've seen people with about a thousand followers and average likes of about 5


lol ph is one of the big 3 sites: YT, and Reddit


I'm just on twitter for the memes and funny cat pics though


Anime profile pictures cannot be trusted


Why did this show up when I searched up "Why nationalism sucks"?


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.


Been a year I give up, both account susd, I'm throwing in the towel


Thank you for diving into this pile of manure for us Emp. You are doing gods work young man


Ah, a video that articulates my deep hatred for Twitter. Thank you Emp.


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.


Incredible and as eye opening as always Emp. Keep it up king.


I always love your videos, you're my favorite youtuber, keep up the great work.


Lovely video, thanks for all your hard work.


This whole video was actually just a ploy to have twitter give him a blue checkmark purely out of irony


Very good editing. I wish most youtubers put 1/10th of the effort to make their videos as visually engaging.


Finally someone who knows exactly how I feel


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.


When it comes to twitter, the blue checkmark usually just means someone who's opinions you should ignore


Blue checkmarks are the arm band of the elite

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.


Thank you for making this video, I hate everything that Twitter stands for.

It's a shame this may be the last video where Emp will expose how garbage Twitter is


you should have also asked quadeca, he got verified early 2019 and im curious how he did it


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


As a social media manager for a business, as well as having a cosplay and competitive gaming side hobby, I fucking hate twitter


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.

.....anyway, great video as always. 👍


My excitement when I recognized pretzel wagon is unparalleled.

Don't you dare show a Wendy's product flying towards the twin towers


That's it, you have placed the straw that has broken my camel's back.

And I mean that in appreciation; I'm deleting my Twitter, thank you for convincing me


Dammit emp why do you always have to waste my time with your amazing videos

Well you gained one thing:

You can now stand more proud as a Youtuber than a Twitterati


at 17:08 there is a single frame where you didn't censor Graham Heavenrich, Cowbelly's real name.


They say that verification isn’t an endorsement of someone but notice how you only get verified if you agree with their mainstream opinions


Honestly, I've never even opened Twitter all these years. Not even once.

Looks like I'm not missing out on much.


Imagine wanting a twitter checkmark lmao. Those things give you autism faster than iPhones


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.


Do a video on the problems with ALT-Tech and how they become echo-chambers that never last.


makes one think twitter is engaged in some sort of social engineering. As if they were... badumm.... <br>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.

"Pretty much every website has a verification system."

No.


"We have to follow the money"
Ad plays

Goddamnit lemon

I've been using twitter like a massive noticeboard, never tried to get into the social aspect of it.


Wow.
That was wicked my guy, saying "Twitter's like a pay to win game, and I don't know I want to play anymore," and then a RAID ad pops up.

Intentional or not, fuck yeah.


To me, any checkmark next to your name on a website means your ethos is flushed down the toilet. It's worse than anime avatars.


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.


Requirement to be featured in news articles/media sounds like a de-facto background check


Getting verified on Twitter is basically trying get Recon armor in Halo 3 but with more bullshit


Emp I love how you love saying downward spiral


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


People should be able to verify them on all publicly aviable websites by just uploading their ID.


When the soundtrack from Reimagine: The Game came on at 10:22 I lost my fucking mind


This dude literally talked to to the rep for steak ums.

Obamathanosgoku -Obamanosoku the final memélord


I guess I'm just really dense but I never had steak umms before I'm gonna try it now 12:58


Someone send this video to MundaneMatt so he'll step away from the edge


I deleted Twitter the other day. I used it to see the memes and other content but it's so insufferable


Imagine using a corporation to have a "social life" lmfao. Hate social media so god damn much cause of shit like this.


25:54
>addicting games looking down on twitter
well i guess i gotta clean up my drink now

Fantastic placement

Hand it over, that thing, your Blue Checkmark.


I thought the only incentive to use twitter was just for another source of porn


Please god let Twitter die in this decade. Like I believe politically it needs to for the world to survive


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

Only to realize that Youtube comment sections like these will never appear on Twitter


Twitter Joined for updates on my favorite game developers

stayed for the porn


I literally created an account on twitter so I could try it but when I came back the next day my account's been suspended lol


I only got twitter because I wanted to follow My Favorite Youtubers, now I use it to have fun making fun of idiots


I really don't get why people use twitter. I (luckily) personally don't know anyone who uses twitter.


When people say I stay there for the "memes"


17:31 Why bother blurring out someone's name if you're still going to show it for one frame?

I mean, you just type the grey '@-name' and press enter


Lets just all say that skai Jackson should be banned from Twitter


It's a cult.<br>The only way in is to be endorsed by an existing member or proven invaluable to the organization among other cult practices.

I just thought a blue check meant i should turn my volume down so no one hears the pornhub intro


I do not use Twitter because I am not a narcissistic idiot. Thank you.


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<br>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

Tweeter is like 4chan, but for celebrities and idiots that don't know it's supposed to be ironic


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


I redownloaded the app and after a week I had to delete it because it was actually making me super toxic


I use twitter as a replacement for tumbler after it banned NSFW stuff.


neighbors from hell ost,damn that shits good


Twitter is like a glass jar breaking in your ass but for your brain.


I tried giving a chance to Twitter in the last few months. I hated it. Deleted my account.


My experience with twitter is so wildly different from yours I don’t even know where to begin

Probably because he just went into a in-dept analysis on this topic


I feel like I got this recommended to me simply because of Vampire Killer playing at the start :D


I've been suspended from Twitter, twice.


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<br>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


The site everyone knows about but no one uses. Lmao


Am I the only one who’s looking for emp’s summer bummer part 2


I’m in an article about ring fit adventure speed running, can I be verified now


Why would you WANT to be verified on Twitter?


i only use twitter to see youtubers make funny tweets maybe a bit of wierd video pages

אוריה בושי לוין


Kinda unrelated but I love that Mario kart n64 toad music in the cowbelly section


This still doesn't explain the blue checkmarks I've seen on accounts with DOUBLE DIGIT follower counts.


Holy shit is this a CapitanWumbo reference?


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.


17:32 there's a frame where it is not blurred out? monkaW


Twitter is the cesspool of the Internet. <br>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

As a twitter user we dont put up with it we just complain about it on other websites

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.


bro you tinking about tumblr... twitter is one of the biggest social networks out there


Twitter is the place to go for porn after Tumblr kicked everyone out.


Actually you can get something on twitter by entering mr beast challenges for content


Seems you watched both his thumbnail and jump video


Could have shorted this video to 5 minutes if he had mentioned the J's

squeezing the abismal ad revenue, in-depth analysis, shout outs who helped his analysis just to name a few


so if I want to draw furry porn and not get thrown out for also liking firearms, where should I go?

Furaffinity, Inkbunny, e621 (somewhat risky), deviantart etc etc

The good thing about Twitter is callmecarson tweets


Aw maan, i use this site to follow artists and cool bots, it's not that bad for me


I use twitter to retweet nick fuentes to piss people off lol


If you can't make money on Twitter then what's with accounts that have ads on their Twitter videos? That seems like a form of monetization.


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?


This video gave me physical pain. Not because its bad but because Twitter


I actually love Twitter

It keeps their horrible userbase from infecting the rest of the internet

@Thing Bing In the plot of Hollow Knight, there's that second-to-last vanilla boss that is basically a fallen angel.

@Therworldtube Tumblr's been dying fast since they banned porn (sold for $1.1 billion in 2013, resold for less than $3 million only 6 years later)


4:29 does anyone know what song this is?


Finally somebody talks about how absolutely awful Twitter. Seriously I HATE it so much

You got Optimus saying it's garbage earlier, you have Cr1tical say its garbage earlier, you have pewdiepie saying its garbage months ago.

Seriously, how long did it take you to find a youtuber who  talks about how absolutely awful Twitter is.


Thank god I though I’m the only sane person in planet earth that thinks Twitter is a terrible website

I have to wait 90 days to change my name

@Migolas --- You can hate the website, while being on it. (I see a lot of Twitter users complaining about state of the website)

Don't worry, no one likes twitter, but no one talks about that, because everyone is on twitter


Tic Tok is a data mining service.

The chinese own your smart phone.

@Uzochi Okeke Among other reasons. Heard about the land dispute between China and India?

Dad Social Media

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.

EmblemBlade9 bruh theres a whole market just for kids man

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

What does this have to do with the video?

The people using TikTok are also the people who already bought a HuaWei, so it's not like the Chinese government is getting the smart ones anyway

Yeah just heard about that the other day.<br>Sucks but I’m not surprised. Fortunately mostly kids use it so there’s not much of worth to mine lmao

Yeah just heard about that the other day.
Sucks but I’m not surprised. Fortunately mostly kids use it so there’s not much of worth to mine lmao


Jack doresy knew epstein just saying. Look at his old tweets lots of cryptic random posts


Really weird seeing those old clips from ster


you can trim videos if you upload them to twitter media studio


Did nobody grow up reading The Sneetches?


I hope that Twitter becomes but that thing that orange guy used once.


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...


The point of twitter is access to powerful people. The real question is why do powerful people use the site so readily?


you spoiled "graham heavenrich" might wanna reupload


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.


Yeah try being a journo that isn't a mainstream shill and then go for a checkmark....becomes harder, and sadder :(


<b>When instagram has the same owners as twitter.</b>

*When instagram has the same owners as twitter.*


My day was going pretty shit, but an emp upload? I'm set for a week now

Thomas Johnson I never claimed to be happy my man


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.

I never heard in the video that staff members of twitter are gauranteed to get a checkmark


Isn’t a person with 5000 followers easier to impersonate than a youtuber with 1.3 mil tho


"Every website has a verification system, like youtube..."
Yeah i can see that
"Instragram"
Yea make sense
"Pornhub"
Yea- what

Okay sorry to be the bearer of  bad news but pornhub just recently had a scandal where a kidnapped girls pornhub channel was verified.

@Discount Chocolate "guilty fappers" is a word I never expected to hear

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.


Yea i just deactivated my account. Although there was another reason. I get way too many notifications on it. It’s really annoying.


"It's not a place for normal people" says someone with a Twitter account

You think a normal person would be able to make a Youtube channel like this?


I’ve been off twitter for weeks because I was sick and tired of seeing nothing but BLM instead of funny tweets from my favorite creators

Don’t forget how the sky is falling because 2020


Once trump is gone that website will start to crumble. Let's hope it goes out painfully.


"Twitter is what would happen if you took Youtube's comment section and made that the entire website" - well said

I've had a way better time on YouTube comments. Though now they're so censored that it sucks anyway


He said pornhub but ths video is still monitized


oh shit gainesville - hello from neighbor in jax - good vid


Twitter only blue checkmarks people who have the means to Sue.


Couldn’t even get an edit button? Jesus...


Gotta love the old mumkey diary of a wimpy kid reference


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

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.

@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.

Copy Pasta on my thoughts.
----
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.

When I think of Twitter artists I think of people getting canceled because they drew themselfes with a tan.

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.

Ya figure? I'm usually operating only on Pixiv and it seems Twitter isn't really doing it for me.


Wow, it all sounds like every complaint with Capitalism ever. Meanwhile McDonalds is every virtue.......... What, I love Mickey D's.

Except for that comparison of Soviet Russia


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.

Hey at least its better then furaffinity for furrys


I was a huge fan of 2013 - 2014 Islamic state jihad era


2:38 lol joe bernstein, aka Viewtiful joe


I know rappers with like 20k & they verified. & all these random people verified


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)


Song that starts at 13:00 is this-https://youtu.be/ZVx0JFoQOeo
Your welcome


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.


Your videos are always amazing. Thanks for the effort and amazingly articulate thoughts.


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.<br>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.


Your documentaries are always well researched. Great job.


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.


The Unintelligible Rage part with green Homer made me laugh harder than it probably should have.


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.


Man, I just use Twitter for artists I like. I try to keep my Twitter experience as positive as possible


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.


Nothing gets me more pumped than a new EmpLemon video


"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.


This is like doing an elite clue scroll on Runescape lol


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


You sound like some kind of internet historian, Emp.


Steak-ummm's twitter manager is the real MVP of this video.


I tried to throw a recommendation at someone once on Twitter a long time ago, couldn't figure out how to do it and gave up. Glad I never tried harder.


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.


I personallly enjoy twitter, mostly because it's weird combination of bunch of good takes and utter chaos.


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.


iFunny is the complete opposite of Twitter, I love it.


The engineer is defending the checkmark with a lvl 3 sentry gun lmao


24:44 Please don't insult the good name of Soviet Russia by comparing it to Twitter


I’m sure if Escobar or Ted Buddy were on Twitter,<br>They would not be verified.

I’m sure if Escobar or Ted Buddy were on Twitter,
They would not be verified.


I love the inclusion of the Grand Forks Herald in the collage of news publications


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) <br>But I'm glad I never got into it

Twomad is the most recent YouTuber to be verified on Twitter I can think of


Guys! I found the secret to an easy verify badge on Twitter!

[redacted]


Ah so the blue checkmark is basically a glorified version of that stupid "I am rich" app. How petty of them.


Emp Lemon is a good youtuber to eat cereal to


The twitter dot com corporation once again, fails to surprise me


8:02 you insinuate that Twitter is a public forum.
And... It is, it should be treated as such, with the same rules and regulations.


Damn, I was randomly unsubscribed to your channel... Thank God I noticed while smashing that motherfucking like button


If you think about it, wouldn't the easiest way to get on a news article be to do a crime?


If your active on twitter above all other sites, and wonder why your constantly angry and unhappy maybe rethink your life choices


Me: uses twitter to check on game updates and updates in general because most developers have an account just to make announcements<br>._.

I gave myself an anime profile pic on twitter so I do not earn a blue checkmark, I care more about respect then a verification badge


I got suspended, contacted via email, never got unsuspended


Never used Twitter. Never will. That's it.


Then there’s the people who use twitter to stock up on memes, hentai and gore


You can somewhat make money from Twitter be following various restaurants/stores and being aware when they have discounts.


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.


Don’t compare Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes


So basically twitter verification = lottery          ticket to lottery = ?


I made a Twitter account for one reason and one reason only, to follow Elon Musk.


The real important question is when is the iFunny Geographic gonna happen


17:33 you're not really good at hiding private info


4chan has a nicer community than twitter these days


Would you verify kim jung un
Me alright
What about ted Bundy surely
Me well hold on there


24:43 Don't be so harsh...

to soviet russia. They would NEVER step that low.


Gah that intro description of Twitter is the best description I've ever heard of it, lmfao


Tik tok and Twitter are the mental asylums of the internet


24:41 Hey, that's insulting to Soviet Russia!


suspended on twitter for saying "ok retard".<br>TBH only value I saw in twitter was the porn. twitter is worth it's weight in gold when it comes to porn

TIL that my favorite baseball manager caused the creation of blue check marks


You forgot the main demographic of Twitter, college students, I think that’s why it’s the place it is


I can stand twitter because i only follow meme accounts and creators i enjoy, while never ever looking at twitter trends or the comments.


Get on “Parler”<br>It’s like Twitter. But with no censorship. And less left wing insufferable twats.

Get on “Parler”

So basically, Trump's threat actually did good for once and made Twitter be a LITTLE bit considerate of the Verification system?


Wait, you can be verified on pornhub?  Why is that a thing?  Who wants that?


twitter is nice for following doujin and hentai artists xD


Twitter=Tzeench isnt that obvious? both use blue birds as a symbol, their influence over others is insidious at best, noxious at worse.


Edmodo! Now that is a name I've not heard in a long, long time. Long time.


Come on man, did you even tried to censor Cowbelly's name?


Twitter is an evil hell site but Jesus Christ I love the chaos


I use twitter because some artists share good lewd art there


I always forget you're from Florida, then you hit we with John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan. For the People


"Assortment of connections I've made over the years - steak umm, beauty and fashion youtubers, random gaming pro, some influencers, wtf xD


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.


Damn, 16:47 , now I just wanna watch Star_ again


Twitter is so bad lol. Come to Parler, social media actually done right 😂


Twitter is basically if Jimmy Kimmel was a website


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


I was gonna ask why you didn't talk to Matt Watson about getting verified but then I remembered...


Twitter is only good if you use it to follow anime artists who don't speak english and find memes.


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 think Kavos get the blue check because he show his face often and twitter see him as a celebrity.


Graham heavenrich =cow belly you missed a single frame and did not blur it. time to dox the time stamp 17:32


Never used twitter, it just feels so off


Honestly, I find Facebook more bearable than Twitter. That place is a shithole.

I never registered for twitter lol and not even facebook. Heck i am still using a hotmail for youtube.


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.


idk its great to follow content creators and artists


The only thing twitter is good for is p0rn and seeing a neat video every once in a while.


I’ve been diagnosed with downwards spiral


Twitter is the new Tumblr at this point.


Twitter has the most embarrassing verified users


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.


I mean they choose to ban and what is morally acceptable so they are a publisher without question.


why do you keep using twitter if you are against it?


the youtube comment section is usually higher quality than twitter


God i hope those Star_ clips are a hint for a video on him at some point.<br>But WHY ARE THE SIMPSONS GREEN???

God i hope those Star_ clips are a hint for a video on him at some point.
But WHY ARE THE SIMPSONS GREEN???


Seeing a lot of verified checkmarks giving their takes in this comment section.


Thats it

i'm fucking reversing the world to 2015


Remember the dr suess story about the sneeches and how some of them had stars on their bellies so they thought they were better than everybody else?


Edmodo?.... I haven’t heard that name in years


The only thing I use twitter for really is for the porn on there.


Idk why YouTube unsubscribed me from your channel<br>I will always resub tho

Anyone know the song name that starts at 12:20?


you heard "elf on the shelf" now get ready for : "public application for verification "


This just sounds like a FamousInfluencer ad


Hey Emp why are an awful lot of Jewish people verified on Twitter? 🤔


great but, how do i find out a reason to use the website?
ps. you cant even download vids on twitter lmaoo

apart for the nsfw art and shit


ima make a twitter account and post my opinion and see what happens wish me luck

Keep us updated. Twitter is a far left platform now.

I've already got one and I think I'll do the same. I already insulted the king and queen of Thailand so I don't see why not.


Nice seeing you here Mr Obvious. I enjoy your content, have a great day.


Only good things about Twitter:

Porn
Memes
And maybe art from creators.

Twitter hentai is usually S tier if you search <b>hard</b> enough

Twitter hentai is usually S tier if you search *hard* enough

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.

@Yosuke Hanamura just follow the japanese one they have no furry porn

Porn isn't good for You though, It's very addictive, It reduces reward receptors, and motivation.

Thing is, there are other sites that do all of those things better

@Blue Inflated Pterodactyl bro there is so much goddamn furry porn. Most artists go on political tirades all the time tho.

I swear all i get on my timeline is porn. I DON'T WANT TO SEE PORN GO AWAY


Can anyone explain why everyone stopped using MySpace again?


IS THAT RUSTY CAGE 2 BACKGROUND MUSIC THAT WAS STOLEN FROM MUMKEY??

I see a lot of YouTubers In the comments


Plot Twist; the people with the blue check mark just used the check mark emoji


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

That and early leaks and news about games and such

Dolan Dark and Grandayy I'd much rather give myself a frontal lobotomy than go anywhere near those two.


Last time I was this early people were asking for Frying Dory


Bro before I even got to use my Twitter account it was suspended


The main thing most people use twitter is shitpost comics (eg: florkofcows, shencomix ect)


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.


Some reporter with 5k followers.. VERIFIED


You should do an Ifunny demographic video


Give me 50 days to go to Egypt and then I'll get you a Blue Checkmark

JoJo? Oh I know what that is! I clapped! I clapped when they said the thing I know!

J-JoJo? JoJo funny? I like JoJo! I like it! It's really good! JoJo! JoJoJoJo!


Twitter is like an entire Dark RP Gmod server


i keep seeing that cheez-it did 9/11 all over twitter lol


I only tolerate twitter because I don't want to pay for ESPN+ and its the only way i can get sports news


Can you talk about 4chan and his role on the worldwideweb.


I saw what Glink wrote in the comments, but umm. Remember Etika? Twiter is a garbage site.


I was about to do something productive with my time, but then I noticed that EmpLemon posted a video.

(Also holy crap, I'm the secound view apparently!)


@Ayy Lmao <br>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

@lol oh thank you for reminding also i just hate twitter and i hope artists find moreplaces for art

yea but its annoying when you're scrolling through an artists page for some wholesome content and then the trending tab and replies are just politics

i agree with you for artists but i feel like its too political and vile for Great art/artist<br>love your work man

0:28 that also applies with Discord. Discord is a mental asylum but more calm and down to earth

iappreciatejellyfish Δ shit y’all are right tf was I thinking. Discord is a cesspool of r/teenagers except they’re more emotionally disturbed

Then again it depends on what Discord you're on

@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.

3:31 You STOLE that background music from mumkey jones!!!!


I just wanted to ask, you still monetized, since of what's been going down recently.


All of CallMeCarson’s tweets get at least 50,000 likes                                                                                CallMeCarson: “hotdogs are sandwiches”


pol sucks but at least the whole world isn’t pushing and sharing what they say over there


See, your peoblem is that you want to win Twitter. You don't win Twitter. Nobody wins Twitter.


Dude I've never watched GFM. He's just so bland and boring. I had to skip his part.


It's obviously to prevent impersonation and fake accounts....


People are literally addicted to being angry on Twitter that's why I deleted my account

@Spongiroth EnaPants - EnaTenkiyoGaming 🤨


when I used to have twitter I got suspended for calling out a groomer

@HashBrown Doyler ah. still justified tho

@Roddy Piper no lol, there was a homosexual that was talking about trans kids in a sexual way


Hoi, Youtube has completely blocked me from making any videos, for no reason. Anyone, help.


От Культаса👍

От Культаса👍


There are literal bot accounts and spam accounts that are verified


25:24 Which music? Also, is it copyrighted?

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.


this is the type of videos im willing to see on youtube, good content, good research and great time to upload. thanks emplemon keep it up!


Dude, the quality of your editing is insane. Do you have a library of clips you use or do you somehow just always remember the perfect one to use?


I seriously wonder how you can make such entertaining quality content consistently.


another great video Emp, every video you produce is god tier content


There's something poetic about going from shitting on Twitter to desperately trying to figure out how to get a blue checkmark.<br>Just don't use Twitter lol. You ain't missing anything.

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.


Well that settles it...I’ll never have a checkmark. Loved this one EmpLemon.


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.


The #1 rule of Twitter is unequal exchange. In order to lose something, you must lose something first.


EmpLemon has graced us with his presence once again.


As someone who's been attached to Twitter for far too long, yeah. Yeah pretty much. Oh, yeah that too.<br>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.

I gave up Twitter this year it was probably one of the only good things to happen this year to me


The video was great. It's strange, that something even more incompetent than youtube survives to this day.


Good thing my life isn't based solely on getting a blue check mark on twitter.

You know theres people who's entire goal in life is to get that blue check.


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.<br> 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)

Tony La Russa being the reason Blue Checkmarks exist is not the fact I was expecting to learn today.


Twitter genuinely fucks with my mental health, so much politics and bullshit drama. Glad I deleted it.


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


After watching this video, I think I’ll be deleting my twitter account.


Don’t use twitter for anything other then posting memes, promoting your social media, and nothing else.


At least my twitter experience is rather wholesome. I follow a few artists and youtubers and just dont look at trending much


You have the guts to say what we're thinking


The blue checkmark is a sign that someone's bad at video games and/or too involved with politics.


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...


The checkmark on Twitter does basically act as a warning sign now a days.


I got a feeling like if an internet celebrity got that blue checkmark, they immediately show the wokest from their mind with tweeting cringiest shit


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.


You may be verified on Twitter, but are you verified in the eyes of God?


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.


Recently I decided to stop using Twitter. There was WAY too much negativity on it.


The first mistake was taking Twitter seriously.


Cowbelly spent that much money for a blue check mark

That’s actually disgusting


I go on twitter for 5 minutes every few days and get irrationally furious


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.


you should definitely look into twitter's origin story. It's very befitting of it, basically backstabbing.


the lemon with the EMP disables everything


So basically, they're reserved for corpos. Welcome to 2020.


20:00 But as it stands, YT has banned more channels than twitter, often completely without warning


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”


How to have a blue checkmark on Twitter: be far far left


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 still use it for the art, h-art, and video games. Honestly most of which I could get at pixiv.


"The other being passive aggressiveness and- aAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaA"


11:45 Like the inclusion of Persona in the list of brands


I use twitter only to post art and following other artists. If you follow the right people, it's pretty civil.<br>But some artists (especially from the west side) can still be spamming political bs tho, but it's easy, just don't follow them.

The blue checkmark is just the new Star of David.

Blue checkmarks are lame

Red X's on failed Math tests is where its at :D


There is a very simple reason why i went to twitter.<br>Tumblr banned porn.

There is a very simple reason why i went to twitter.
Tumblr banned porn.


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 am Jacks emphatic disregard for decency.


I remember seeing somebody complaining that the blue check mark means Twitter supported that person


im 40 seconds into the video and already lost my shit lmaooo


The 258 people who dislike this video only prove your point further


17:32
That was the slowest blurred named I've ever seen


Wow, didn't expect a Dankmus remix as an outro for one of your videos. Guess I gotta keep up the comment section tradition:

- O N E - D A N K - A N D - Y O U ‘ L L - B E - H O O K E D -


Meet the sniper music coming in be like.


Hey Emp you should start watching Red Bar i feel like youd enjoy it


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.


okay, I watched the video, and I don't get why you or anyone wants the checkmark. But I am also someone who doesn't really use twitter.


I don't really care for some verification system to notice me. As long as I have friend to talk to and relate with, then that's verification for me.

I only use Twitter bc a friends I have use twitter, be it online or offline.


Put more adds in your videos i would actually watch them without being mad <br>I mean maby put a poll up or somthing but i like giving you my time4money

Checkmark just means that everything you say has no value


I have your bell rung and I was not informed about this video. I love your content, just letting you know YT might be getting weird again.


Somebody is mad for not having a blue checkmark


I don't have a Twitter account, I've been thinking of making one recently. Haven't browsed the website much either. Should I do it?


Twitter really doesn't have edit button options?


imagine following political accounts lol, just follow TF2 youtubers


Even Tumblr is a better platform then twitter


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.


lol I think you messed up the name blur at 17:32

Unless that's some kind of joke I completely missed


Thanks for the ghost and goblins music in the beckround.


I fucking love twitter.  also youtubes comment section is one of the last free places on the net.

The only reason to use twitter is to follow all the porn artists who can't post on tumblr anymore.<br>At least until Pillowfort makes it debut

The only reason i still have twitter is to transfer my animal crossing screenshots
