Twitter staff when skai jackson and checkmark accounts doxx kids: I'm gonna pretend i didn't see that

@Crunchy Lettuce they hould make a internet bible

Considering it's the Twitter mob, if they actually did something to Skai Jackson, they would've assumed that it was racist or something retarded like that, completely disregarding the context of the situation

Ay I recognize that pfp. Saw the video. Pretty good tbh. Didn't expect the ending.

this is the last guy i expected to comment on this video

Also helps to be a minecraft villager when being a checkmark

GAMP: Sicker than your average kigger nilller

"and so people with anime profiles pics shall burn and demolish everything impure in their internet, letting entire companies burn in the flames while they stop and watch some victory hentai..."

@Osama Alhour No, dont do this to yourself! Save yourself before you appending doom!


I wish they'd give red checkmarks for what Twitter deems evil... Then I'd have something to compete for


If I can take a moment to state the obvious, the verification mark on twitter exists purely for propaganda purposes.
There are many, many people who will put genuine trust in what an account they've never seen before says just because it has a blue checkmark, or "MD", "PhD", etc.
It might function as a monetization tool within the brand, commercial landscape of the website, but out there in the much bigger and populated political side of it is clearly used for propaganda purposes.
The fact that I don't have to specify where the bias leans for you to know, should tell you enough.
They don't really try to hide it either, unless they're pleading and kvetching about the sec.230 privileges that they're flagrantly ABUSING.

The only reason I use Twitter is 1. to follow a handful of YouTubers I like, and 2. to follow account that post paintings from my favorite painters. And I use it about once every other week at that


You can now apply for Twitter verification if you have a Wikipedia article written about you and over around 100,000 followers.


4chan has more intelligent discussions than twitter.

In fairness a garbage heap could have more intelligent discussions than twitter

@FireRed TheRedFire in 3020
4-chan becomes a safe  haven from
Twitter. The most toxic and dumbass website and app.

@Edward Calbella All of what you just said applies to Twitter as well.

@Edward Calbella Ive been to 4chan

It may be a toxic wasteland but its nice because of many reasons

But i must admit Some boards are pure lumps of cancer

But i still have my hats on 4chan on what it served on internet.

Oh no, 4Channers are getting together on one comment! Quick! Bring the flamethrower before they start sharing CP between one another!

El Zachacharino opinions are embraced on 4chan. people can literally insult you and you can insult them back and call them some mean shit without some kpop stans dog piling on you saying you’re transphobic for saying “bruh”<br>it reminds me of the old internet when it came to just being mean but opened af. Its funny as shit and is very entertaining to see people like internet historian really log all the funny shit they do.

4chan is unironically the best place for discussion

"leg so hot"

"hot hot leg"

"leg so hot u fry an eg"

4chan:
Call somebody an insult - they insult you back

Twitter:
Wrong thought - Life ruined, doxxed, assassinated

@ValiantViktor Don't go to any of the popular boards (b, pol, v, co, a) and you'll find yourself in an actual civilized community.

/pol/ has become utter trash as of late. Too many journos shilling their articles there. It's also a fed honeypot

@Awesome Sauce Based. /pol/ is a great board as long as you know what threads to look for. It's the perfect example of a gold nugget buried in a pile of shit.

@EndLaiser aha yes petitions always work

@FireRed TheRedFire Have you ever been to 4chan? What boards did you look at?

@ValiantViktor they me be toxic

But others are waaaaaaay more toxic

I mean like 4chan hasnt really change

The problem the others.
The pride of and toxicity on other social media is increasing while 4chan is just there.

@FireRed TheRedFire 4chan isn't nearly as toxic if you just stick to the SFW boards.

@J M i dont even use both sites but i respect 4chan more

I mean like should i still consider 4chan toxic compared other social media

I think not in a long way

Edit I dont use it Its just an outsiders perspective

Yes, at this point 4chan (excluding /pol/ because it's just Twitter except without the cancelling and more racism) is a better mode of intelligent discussion than Twitter

Came here as soon as I heard EmpLemon got suspended by twitter.


The phrase “getting tarred and feathered by a mob of anime profile pics” is just too good

I had that happen to me. There were a bunch of them who tried, and failed, to cancel a good friend of mine.

@Space Duck Yeah,a YouTuber herein Brazil know as "Tio Orochi" have been cancelled by Kpopers and lost his sponsorship.

@Hayden Scott I was told, as an artist, twitter is something I have to depend on but that's utter bullshit lmao. Twitter is a shithole

@Space Duck He ain't wrong though, happy I left it before I got drawn into an irritating argument, but that was years ago now so I don't even remember setting it up all that clearly either.

Cant forget the "beheaded by kpop stans and then taxidermied by political militants"


Love your work, respect the respect you get from other creators. Also respect the Dankmus song at the end

Dankmus is a mad genius pls put more credits-bangers in


To think a few months ago i wanted to be a twitter artist lmao, instagram was way more welcoming and offered an easier way to just connect with more people


If you’re using twitter for current events you’re gonna have a bad time, now using it to interact with a smaller group that share all share a hobby can be a great time


You always make some damn good quality content


I deleted my Twitter 4 years ago and It has been my smartest decision in my life up to this point. By far the most overrated platform on this planet, such a waste of time...


This is a nerd city level informational video. This is quite literally gonna help a ton of people, Emp Lemon doing a better job that a literally billion dollar corporation.


Emp: "You can only be three moods on twitter; smug, passive agressive, and..."
Me: "Horny, definitely horny."
Emp: "unintelligible rage."
That's also true.

@JOHN JOHN nice buzz word, keep using it, it hasn't gotten old

Horny and unintelligible rage can be the same thing


Amazing work. I really enjoy these types of videos.


He got suspended because he said Twitter users with less than 100 followers, but over 10k posts, should be on either sewer slide or terror watch lists. They hated EmperorLemon, for he told the truth.

@Frank B he tweeted that Twitter users with less than 100 followers, but over 10k posts, should be on either a s*icide or terror watch list. Somebody reported Lemon's tweet, probably because they felt salty.

Wait why did he get suspended? What did he do?


I don’t understand how Twitter isn’t counted as a publisher.

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


0:58 The internet in  nutshell. It takes like five or more years for people to finally stop hating you even if you learned from your mistakes and willing to change.


To this day, Twitter still hasn't done much about verification. Wew.


I really like how this guy manages to take a topic which is typically a non-mainstream topic and turns it into the topic of the day.


Have you considered that people can use a website without any expectation of "moving up"?

I see Twitter as one of the most widely-used networks with which people from around the world have a semblance of a chance of connecting with some of their favorite creators. To me, that's the point. If there were an alternative to Twitter that banned any sort of automated or non-personal usage of it (bots, corporate accounts, etc.), that might just be the best option.

Also, Facebook still exists for some reason.


Simple fix. Multiple public figures get together for an organized event where one person impersonates each one and every public figure threatens to sue, all public figures saying "I told you this would happen, I tried to get verified multiple times before, people can get swatted and/killed over this".

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


twitter is only good for posting and following art. theres alot of really talented japanese artists who use the site, and the only thing they post is their drawings and pictures of their food.

i WISH the rest of the world used twitter like they do

Yeah but I think Instagram is a better place for artists too than what Twitter did but you're right.

@Jaime Daniel Hernandez Ríos Preach it. I've been a twitter artist for four or five years and I get NO attention outside of my three friends on there...

LAMO there’s NOTHING good about twittcrap

LAMO there’s NOTHING good about twittcrap

@Voltscream also the text limit on posts is outdated.

@Voltscream also the text limit on posts is outdated.

It's not even good for that, honestly. Twitter's whole format is horrid for any art older than a few weeks, especially if the artist likes to retweet at all.

Twitter, in my eyes, is only good for following sports networks. That's it. I don't even use Twitter. I have an account but I rarely go to it and when I do it's to be a masochist--I've been called a bot and a russian hack. Or was that Instagram? Instagram is just as bad.

the only and best way to use the god forsaken site, better fill the timeline with art and porn than incels screaming at each other

Literally any other art hosting site is better than twitter. It's interface is shit for browsing art. It can take hours to go through someone's art. The media tab helps a little if the person just upload their art. but that doesn't happen.

Pretty much this. I found out about a JP artist named Soeda Ippei that did work in Fire Emblem Heroes that posts art on Twitter often. The guy's a genuinely talented artist who even teaches art. I highly recommend checking his works out.

Quinshore the Butt Wizard & True Smut God

I knew some artists got cancelled by westerners, and even Japanese actors/actresses/mangakas defend their work/art

agreed. love the art on there, hate everything else except the tf2 fandom.

Twitter's pretty good for news, too. Follow a bunch of good reporters and news agencies, and you're pretty well off.

That is true, but, man it's hard to find small artist there

That is true, but, man it's hard to find small artist there

As an artist I've been debating for the past year whether or not to join twitter partially because most other sites aren't as popular and largely because most of my favorite artists migrated there. At this point I think I'm better off just bookmarking their twitter accounts and checking in periodically.

just clicked on your acc from this comment and idk what the situation is now but i just want to tell you that you should start posting on your yt again. your animations look really good and it sucks to see something so full of passion to go to waste because of all that progress you lost.

Y'know, if you think of Twitter as just an art-promoting website it doesn't sound so bad.

its not even good for that<br>trying to find peoples artwork amongst  their political ramblings and shitposts is a chore

@Green Gale Productions yeah, tumblr was alot more art friendly with stuff like no absurdly short character limit, being able to post up to 10 images, and the tags to make it really easy to backtrack through an artists work....
though sadly that site was infested by brain dead idiots waaay earlier than twitter ever did. and that made it very unappealing for artists.
and the porn purge from last year (or was is it 2 years by now?) was the nail on the coffin

I WISH japanese artists stopped using fucking twitter for art.

seriously, twitter has some type of thing from the government to see if people can go insane with politics.

Green Gale Productions Literally, new artists are seen as scum by the twitter algorithm. I just use discord to post my art to communities where I know I won’t get bashed for liking something lol

Art is the only good reason to use twitter, but twitter is absolute dogshit for artists. The format is unintuitive, there's a four-piece limit on posts, you can still only use 280 characters on a post, and it's hard as hell to catalogue/archive these posts. Still, most artists have no other alternative, and it fucking sucks.

damm even hentai artist sometimes took a photo of their food or pic of a road or a river sometimes.

thats basically the only reason i use twitter lmao

thats basically the only reason i use twitter lmao

bro just use devian art or any of the porn sites for art, Gelbooru,Danbooru,pixiv etc

Yeah. I use Twitter exclusively to look at art, animation news, dogs, and posting my dumb shower thoughts. I try to avoid politics like the plague but somehow it always ends up leaking into my feed. It's honestly unavoidable

@UndeadPorcupine The top page is always the same light novel cover style

"I wish the rest of the world used Twitter like they do"

Bruh. Instagram is where it's at, your favourite artists on Twitter will most definitely have a Instagram account and are doing the same thing.

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

@gododoof<br>I don't get it, you just said the same thing twice.

@promessa_ex Pixiv these days is really just Japanese DeviantArt tbh, at least in terms of the massive amounts of nonsensical shipping and bizarre fetish art.

and for most of those artists pages it's 90% food, 8% sharing art from other creators, and 2% posting your own art.

Twitter is good for its childbr0n content (if you dig deep enough)

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

Thanks a lot for the video!
I realize about how terrible that place is, I can't even look the interface without feeling sick.


Twitter is that one thing you get because your friends, favorite youtubers, and favorite game developers use it.


Verification is exactly that.  Verifying you are the real public figure and not a fake.  At least that’s how it started.  People really blew it out of the water.  I think instead of a blue check mark it should be something more subtle to identify them as that person.  Don’t know what it should be but hopefully it will lead to less people thinking the blue check mark means you’ve made it as a public figure and having people worry about it.


If Twitter actually saw this video and thought about it I’d be very surprised. They’re probably so in their own echo chamber that they’d never even google criticism about their bs website.


Lol, I didn't expect to come away from this video with a newfound appreciation for the honesty and goodwill of Steak-Ummm.


I considered making a Twitter account a few days ago...

Now I'm confident that I won't need it.


Wow only a week after uploading this video twitter removes verified accounts. Not the checkmark they just had to remove their posting privileges after every verified account got hacked.


Guess we had to come back here after his Twitter got suspended.


Every time a question gets brought up about why Twitter users reacted in such a way over something, just refer back to the first couple minutes of the video.


The problem with EmpLemon videos is, that I start out not caring (about pro wrestling, YouTube copyright or thumbnails etc) but being entertained and sometimes caring (hbox) about people and issues.


Everyone: “You have become the thing you swore to destroy”<br>Twitter: Haha blue button go money

Everyone: “You have become the thing you swore to destroy”
Twitter: Haha blue button go money

me: nooo you can't just overuse the same meme in every comment section

comment section: haha meme go funny noise

Twitter: "no you can't just quit because of a stupid checkmar..."

Everyone: "haha red button goes klik"

Twitter: "no you can't just quit because of a stupid checkmar..."

Everyone: *"haha red button goes klik"*


damn you should make a follow up after the hack that mutes all the blue checks.


3:21 That’s just like Portal 2’s trading system that is always “coming soon”


Update: Twitter will be acquired by Elon Musk

could be good, but only if Elon can follow up on his promises


Lmao he is usually so unbias but he is absolutely clowning Twitter 😂


having a blue checkmark is like saying "Hey, I'm an insuffable human being who stands out in a sea of insufferable human beings."

Wow thank you so much for repeating what the youtuber already has said, but hey I can't blame you, you didn't achieve your end goal of getting those likes.


As a twitter user, I can safely say the start about how bad twitter is completely accurate


I never thought about the part where Cowbelly says "you should probably have your face as your profile picture" until now, and that does make a lot of sense when you look at who's verified and who isn't. For example, there is a group on YouTube called "the Misfits," and all of them are verified on Twitter with the exception of one member, who is known for never showing his face at all. It's a pretty stupid rule, but at least its an easy thing to fix.

i only just realized that pornhub's color scheme is twitter's color scheme inverted

And pornhub's comment section is civilized. Pornhub is the anti twitter confirmed.

@Ehren have you never used the inverted filter on your flip phone?

@gamehead1223 eh PornHub comments are just cursed

I never knew that. According to the color wheel, blue and orange looks exactly the same position. If this happened, maybe YouTube "play button logo" have inverted color scheme as 4Chan's "clover logo".

If you like twitter,youll love twitter live

D̸a̴r̵k̶ ̴m̸a̷t̵t̵e̸r̶ ̶0̵2̵

@Nerp shhh. I know. typing is hard. Its okay.

@Daniel Keem you could also argue something similar with twitter as child pornography is easily circulated with hyperlinks

@gamehead1223 It's either "god I wish that were me" in monkey speak, or that lmao

We need help, Marlin is trying to find Nemo all over the pornhub comments 😂

@Ehren no purpule is the opposite  of yellow

Me: no because the opposite of blue is orange

Me, seconds later: omg......

I should probably explain myself. About a day before I wrote my comment, I coincidentally decided to figure out what color is the opposite of Pornhub Orange. Since that information was fresh in my mind, I decided to post it here.

This is the most cursed string of comments I’ve ever seen.<br>It really turned into an argument about the morality of porn from arguing about colors. I hate it.

This is the most cursed string of comments I’ve ever seen.

As a Catholic, I'm glad I can't relate to any of you guys as I haven't watched porn since I stumbled upon 2 Girls and 1 Cup as a kid.

@Mateus Vitor PornHub has literal child trafficking and abuse videos in the open for weirdos to see

Porn isn't a personality trait.

<b>gasp</b> This must be subtle symbolism...

You mean Twitter's colors are Pornhub's but inverted

Ehren nah purple and yellow are opposites

@MonoType <br>You don't learn any shit on school.

@MonoType
You don't learn any shit on school.

It’s like Twitter is the evil twin of Pornhub.

Josh Jaylo We’re on the internet, thou shouldst not call anyone a nerd, for it’s quite tautological.

@Josh Jaylo Why? What's wrong with what I said?

Not quite. The exact opposite of Pornhub's orange hue (FF9900) is (404793), a much darker shade of blue.

We live in a world where a porn website is more civil than the mainstream discussion board.

and note how pornhub comments are much, MUCH more civil.

obviously lol, black opposite of white, orange opposite of blue. Thought everyone learned this in highschool

For all the brain let’s. Blue and orange are opposite on the colour wheel, and black and white and self explanatory

i just inverted colors and wow you're right


I love how you use the editing skills from your YTP days in your videos!


To be fair, not everything has to be done for monetary gain. Sometimes people just like arguing over social media. I don't understand it, but that's what some folks like. All in all, social media is ridiculous, and I am seriously considering going off the grid to get away from all this horseshit.


I find its fun to look at cars that car brands present and watch funny videos from accounts dedicated to daily posting them. It is also useful for gettings announcements from games' devs or events' organizers.


in the first minute and a half you've just summed up the exact way I perceive twitter in better words than I ever could


We need the meme “Silence Blue Checkmark” with a lobster shooting missiles at a blue checkmark

I too browse reddit unironically. have a gold kind stranger

If "Blue Checkmarks" have such a reputation, then there probably is one already somewhere.


How to keep sanity while having Twitter account:
Step 1: Just search hentai
Step 2: finish and exit the app, then back to your daily life
Step 3: In the next day, repeat step 1 and 2


24:45 the comparisons you drew were amazing, thank you


If I'm being completely honest I really do look forward to every video you make Emp your videos are really well made and pretty entertaining I've been watching since ever 2012 basically I just want to say keep up the good work man

You know you don't have to censor Cowbelly's name, and miss a frame while doing so as well 17:31
He is a public figure, after all.


"wouldn't read the book, but I will see the movie."

@Lilac Rain Emplemon is really good with making content that looks visually appealing. His bright green-purple aesthetic is really pleasing for the eye and catches your attention very quickly, which is why you can watch a 40 minute video of his and not get bored.<br>Not to mention all of the Simpsons footage spread throughout the videos, that when combined with that green aesthetic, gives a really bizzare and acid-like feeling, like you're having a fever dream.

@Lilac Rain actually it's because quest for the blue checkmark sounds like a piece of fiction

Jesus Joestar I think they’re saying that this topic would make for a pretty boring article but it works well as a video essay

what does this have to do with the video?

Sounds like people who don't  watch anime, but don't read the manga.

Migolas that is exactly what I thick every day but that is hard to put in to words. Thanks


"Twitter is the comment section of youtube but the site is entirely made of it" <= i cant say it better except that at least the comment section of youtube can be edited and its far more difficult to dig in the past of someone to target him taking his out of context saying to destroy his life


The part were he talks about the user base of Twitter aged like fine wine.


With all the talk in the comments about 4chan, it amazes me how prevelant it still is. 4chan is the yang of the internet, and it needs an equal and opposite yin to continue. First it was facebook, then it was reddit, then it was tumblr, and now it's Twitter. All of these wanted to be respected by the internet, but they have since fallen from grace. 4chan was never looking for respect, and it has stayed that way, in a twisted sense making it respectable.


we really need someone to make a new public forum that doesn’t shit on every aspect of its purpose by making it a pay to win game


1. Be famous or a reporter
2. Be company that advertises a lot on Twitter
3. Become part of a youtube network that will get your verification
4. Just pay $6,000 for the checkmark

@zac youre probably the kind to argue there 24/7.

you people complain about how twitter sucks but also complain that you can't get a mark next to your name to feel important

5. If you're not apart of these steps, then you're fucked from the get-go


Everything u said about titter I agree with and yet I love it. I find myself just laughing at the vitriol and cesspool of heightened emotions.


twitter is a circus clown show that never ends


A new anomaly has appeared for blue checkmarks!

Recently, popular Minecraft youtubers such as Technoblade and Dream have been verified, but don't fall into the category.  What other condition could have been fulfilled?


Broke: Getting the blue check mark is the highest incentive on twitter.                                        Woke: Getting followed by Steak-Umm is the highest incentive in twitter.

Astral Brain: using soup can phone networks in place of all social media.

@Bean Beater ascended brain: not using any social media and just using porn hub for discussions.


The absolute best part of Twitter is giving the lunatics a place to hang out away from everyone else


Remember when Jschlatt got verified?
And then almost immediately got unverified?
Good times...

@Golden Gears Never though Schlatt 2020  would become real.

He got verified because he was pretending to be a presidential candidate and then twitter found out and immediately unverified him. It kind of makes sense, but it doesn't make the main policies any less inconsistent or greedy.


10:54 You know you're doing something wrong when people think you're worse than the CEOs of Sears, Macy's and General Electric and sharing a "worst CEO" list with the CEO of Wells Fargo... (I don't have any money as my SSI gets dumped into the rent and the recent bailout money went into advance payment for bills but my roomate is with a credit union)


Would love to see you follow up on this now that Elon is taking over Twitter


"Most upvoted on reddit 2009-2014"<br>Imagine that being your greatest life achievement

"Most upvoted on reddit 2009-2014"
Imagine that being your greatest life achievement

@steven murphy that's what you call a life achievement

This is one of the funniest comment chains on this video.

Thank you everyone for contributing to it.

@Crumbles my greatest achievement was getting retweeted by a pornstar

Chocrix The average middle schooler has had enough success to surpass “most upvoted on reddit” for their greatest life achievement

I mean, chances are that would be your greatest life achievement.


I had a Twitter account for about 3 years and now, they permanently blocked me because they thought I was a robot and I can’t identify myself because I have no phone address...

Fuck that noise, I’m moving on Reddit !


The fact that Twitter is so toxic is why I kinda like it


Verification should be a process initiated by the user. Anyone should be able to go through a verification process and get a blue checkmark. That would cut down on impersonators and protect everyone who wants the extra protection.


that time on Alpharad Plus that he said we could "give" him our verification on twitter and he managed to get verified without us doing anything

that was a confusing week


Out of all the social medias, Twitter has the most consistently dumb community I've ever seen

For sure given tumblr a run for its money

@DashN Depends which reddit you are on. Youtuber reddits are especially chill I've noticed compared to twitter. Other parts of reddit can be a nightmare though, I'll admit.

My alt account that I will barely ever use

@HailHonkler And that's why I love it. At least from the memes I've seen come from the site, I can conclude the place is capable of making me feels some sort of positive emotion!

Franklin Brooks stopped commenting on PS Vita

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

Social media is not intended to work as a community, anyways. Their objective is to create communities by bringing people together.

That's exactly why I think Twitter is such a violent and bitter place. On Twitter, you can meet new people every day of the year, but you can never create or become part of a community.

A crap ton of Tumblr users immigrated there when Tumblr had that porn ban

Uh oh.
Brace yourselves for the fallout. Start prepping now.
Buy canned likes before they run out, and construct a cancellation bunker.
Stock up on hollow point redpills and armor piercing facts


Oh shit, Alpharad. I remember when he got verified with that anime profile picture. Good times.

The moment Panda Global popped on screen it made sense how he got in.


I like how there’s an ad where he says “to find out why, we have to follow the money”. I think that’s the only time I’ve laughed during an ad


I came back after hearing about the bluecheck mark accounts getting hacked.


2:04 Ironic considering what just happened to emp’s twitter.
Fr though Hope he gets it back. This is real bullshit


Why its feels like soviet rusia?

Because it's being led by the same type of group

Except they're American in Soviet fashion


The key to getting into, and out of, twitter successfully is not taking anything personal, because none of it is actually personal.


Youtube also no longer will verify creators. They quietly went back on it without announcing it. You have to be a brand or corporation to get verified on youtube CURRENTLY. They said they won't be considering doing so again for users until October. Rip

Disclaimer. I applied for verification in February and emailed Youtube and they said they do not verify creators anymore until further notice.

Or just someone very famous. Brie Larson was verified almost immediately after she joined

okok that's a terrible idea, verification is a thing so people can't just make clones of youtubers accounts

For the love of God people ditch these sites. Did you see them ban all those people the other week on multiple sites? These supposedly different companies all act in unison . They're all the same company essentially. The biggest monopoly in the world

@pnyhmsmx Why is that, exactly? Honest question. I don't understand why Silicon Valley is apparently such a hive mind. You'd think that at least some successful people would have differing opinions.

@Void of Space and Time there's  a reason why silicon valley collectively hate trump

all silicon valley tech companies may as well be dead in the water for innovations now.

oh wow.....ive been wondering why a few people im subscribed to have reached the 100k milestone and somehow still dont have the checkmark yet....

You know what, I think we should make some stink about it, to make them go back to verifying accounts. Don't know if it'll work, maybe if the outrage gets big enough, but we gotta try.

(On a sidenote, all those various brands/corporations sticking themselves everywhere and trying to get absolutely everything for themselves are starting to get on my nerves. Furthermore, YouTube itself doesn't have a good excuse for that other than their standard beating around the bush, and saying that "we're not verifying accounts at the moment, because blah blah blah".)

They just can't unverify the people who already have one.

Sorry to hear that, this will piss off a lot of moderate youtubers.


Verification is an endorsement... It gives a platform validity. That check mark gives the general public a reason to trust the person speaking.


Here after Elon bought Twitter. Let’s see what’s ‘bout to happen next.


If I was a superquadrabillionaire, I'd just make my own damn social platform.


"Twitter wants to be seen as a utopia, so why does using this site feel like living in Soviet Russia"
because, that IS their utopia

"Twitter wants to be seen as a utopia, so why does using this site feel like living in Soviet Russia"
because, that *IS* their utopia


The moral of the story is don't use Twitter

shh dont spoil the last chapter of the bible

Yes because that place is a toxic cesspool


Homie your page has been dead since you quit ytp. You were honestly the greatest. The best one on the internet by a long shot. You had a gift man, and you threw it all away.


you know a site is bad when 4chan of all places is less toxic


I use Twitter only when I need to check the tweets from the devs of games I play. That cesspool is too deep.


The weird thing is that you hear from people wanting the checkmark and not having it all the time, then at some point a lot of people get verified on the same day and then it just stops for months until the next wave of verification comes along.. Really weird to see


It's like one of my favorite YouTubers has  been saying for years: If you're on Twitter, get off it. If you're not on Twitter, stay away from it. You'll make yourself happier that way.

I wasn't on Twitter for years then caved in realizing how much I was technically losing (zero social media presence etc) I still want to be a content creator and Twitter is pretty much the only thing people will look at for promotion and updates. Trust me, I've tried promotion on other sites for years and it isn't merely as effective as on Twitter.

There's also the fact that with Tumblr dying and with most art/forum/SMs dying there isn't really much social networks for art except on Twitter. Tumblr is at least better now since there's no longer a toxic community, but the moderation is still somewhat lackluster and suffocating and is slowly getting as bad as Deviantart in how obscure it is.

I really wish I DIDNT have to use Twitter but this is coming from someone who has used alternative social networks for years. There's unironically no hope for the online art community until Pillowfort comes out and changes things.

@Creamy Avocado If I had to take a guess, I'd assume it's Kneecaps, sounds like something he would say

I'm not on twitter, and i think my life is happy


Looks like their may be another twitter geographic after all...


0:33 Haha, I always knew that Greg is a sociopath.


28-minute rant about Twitter. Well done.


I feel like watch Emp put me on a downward spiral


"Twitter is like if you took the YouTube Comments Section and made that the whole website."

@Detros At least Youtube comments you can sort by new.

YouTube's comments are better, you can still shitpost mostly anonymously.

i actually think its wrong tbh, you arent exactly spewed with politics on youtube, and there can be alot of great people on here. (unlike twitter)

@Xanthopathy That still makes youtube comments better even if it's only because we can't be that shit

@ERBOCH damn u right i think youtube deleted my racial slur

@j29o Youtube does it for you if you use racial slurs

except on YouTube comments you dont get canceled

Your rong! There is lots of good stuf on there lots of good discusions. Twitter is a very pieceful and freindly place!!
#CorneliusMcMuffinIsOverParty

This is actually a greivous insult to the level of decorum on YouTube, here there is actually a fairly decent chance of getting reasonable long form discussion even alongside absolute shit shows.

I literally just read two people arguing over how shit unreliable the other person's gun must be for being an AK or an AR, and then ended up calming down and discussing the finer points of preventative maintenance.

Maybe but it lacks something... the aggressive insanity of ex-Tumblr users

@Detros that's because they can't physically do that since they are very restricted with their posts

I see plenty of intelligent comments on YouTube, I've yet to see one on Twitter, I wouldn't be surprised if they all get suppressed.

I actually think the comment section on youtube is more reasonable than twitter. At least youtube comments don't try to cancel people, clout chase, witch hunt, spam fancams,  ect


3:09
He trended again...just not for the right reason...


I do have to wonder why social media exploded so much in the past 15 years.

Also how's that copyright smuggling working out?


ur channel is fucking awesome , shame i discovered it so late


Twitter is actually very useful for getting good images of Smash Custom stages without using the low quality pictures Nintendo gives you, other than it's practically useless.


90% of Twitter is exactly as you described it. What's worse is that the 10% that's actually decently enjoyable is near impossible to find. It's also annoying that it's still somehow the main way most creators get in contact with their fans despite there being far better mediums out there, and it's incredibly hard to navigate unless you're active on it because of how it mixes together a person's tweets, replies, and likes on their profile

I just stick to art, gaming, and meme accounts. Helps a great deal.

dman, i guess im that 10%. all i do is follow 3D CGI art accounts and game developers with meme accounts sprinkled in.

@EmblemBlade9 PillowFort's a good alternative, for one.

The plan to make Twitter fun is simple: stick to meme Twitter accounts. If you step outside of there once, you are instantly dead

Hi, which better mediums are those? Would be helpful to know, thanks


Makes me wonder if it is possible to have a social media infrastructure that does not foster its own growth at the expense of the mental health of its users.


Twitter is like the Nintendo of social media. They know they’re too big to fail so they can get away with being as lazy as they want to be. They can shit out any poorly implemented feature/game, no matter how shitty, and people will eat it up and then thank them for it. Once they do that successfully a few times the bare minimum suddenly becomes their new standard. Just look at the success of literal shit like Animal Crossing New Horizons, Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Sword/Shield and perhaps the most overrated tech demo of the last generation: Breath of the Wild. This was mostly just an excuse to shit on Nintendo. I’ve never used Twitter.

“It just goes to show that the site has so little to offer that they stroke themselves off for adding features that already existed, should have always existed, and only don’t exist because of their own incompetence.”


Watching this video first made me upset at the lack of transparency and general incompetence, and then made me upset again when it reminded my that White Ninja isn't really around anymore.


and 2 weeks later every blue checkmark on the site is banned from twitting LMAO


“When Steak-umm is a better source of information than your help page, then maybe your site has a bit of a transparency issue.”

damn

“When Steak-umm is a better source of information than your help page, then maybe your site has a bit of a transparency issue.”

*damn*


I couldn’t understand Twitter until I found a small but active fan community for a semi obscure anime I like (not the froppy show lmao) it’s cool because we’ve built a little network of content creators and online friends just by making content and jokes around something we all feel passions about. Posting and retweeting art and animation etc. But the other parts of Twitter are just bleak, like you described.


You should make a video about being verified on all platforms the "quest" is basically universal


Twitter is just the mainstream version of old 4chan


The blue check signifies you are part of the enlightened with the correct progressive persuasion


If twitter is the mental asylum of the Internet then:
. YouTube is the kindergarten show and tell of the Internet
. And Facebook is the retirement home of the internet

_ I know people who visit the occasional thread but yeah

@Migolas University? High school? lmao, idk.

@Wireless Bluestone fun ways to fill your ego or become more depressed

Tumblr is just a protest and a convention being held at the same time.

@Internet Dinosaur I believe u but it feels like a parallel universe that someone under the age of 40 uses Facebook seriously lol

This only applies to the US and UK tbh. Many countries use Facebook rather than Twitter, and vice versa.

@Wireless Bluestone do people still use 4chan? I haven't seen anyone use it recently also Idk what insta would be

Ainan Kashif 4chan: the place where most memes originate <br>Instagram: the place that makes people insure about themselves

Ainan Kashif 4chan: the place where most memes originate

@Migolas The human trafficking industry?

@David Konevky I'm editing the comment rn

@_ a kindergarten classroom playing a game of show and tell

@Migolas the strip club?? I honestly don't know but what about MySpace???


I use twitter to look at cats and see what some of my friends are up to. When I log off for the day (I achieved the impossible) I feel happy and fine. But I do have this feeling of fear and hatred for everything and everyone


With the new (garbage) "Super Follow" feature being added now you can have exclusive monetized tweets! Wahoo!


"an unknown number of unspecified users getting confused" is twitter and cancel culture in a nutshell

The only good thing about Twitter is the cold, hard smut.

Fact man, the only redeeming quality of Twitter is their porn

@fasterthanfashion so is literally living man

Newgrounds hanime nhentai google images <br>everything is better then twitter

Newgrounds hanime nhentai google images
everything is better then twitter

Then the nsfw artist draws cp and you go back to suicidal thoughts

@Michael W. you're not a libertarian if you're against porn

@Michael W. do not start that statement by claiming you are a libertarian🤣 what a joke

and thats only because tumblr stopped nsfw

And even then with most of them you have to get through the artist’s massive amount of retweets, all of their radical personal opinions, and intolerable personalities before you find the porn.

When Twitter inevitably pulls a tumblr and bans all the lewd artists, there will be nothing of value left on that site.

Migolas that’s true but it’s always buried under piles of garbage

Twitter, like every website on earth, it's only useful for porn.

Twitter: the last bastion of easy to reach porn without crossing into the void......

Honestly, the only reason they even have that is because tumblr killed itself.

Tbh, there are some cool artists on twitter


Alright here me out, an alien general goes to a steak to learn about an online forum


I wouldn't call YouTube's verification system "equitable" because just getting to the point where you even can get verified these days is a load of BS. Just getting monetized these days is more of a chore than it used to be, as is <i>staying</i> monetized (I was demonetized for "duplication" a couple years after coming back from Zippcast and that break I took caused my channel to never be able to get enough views to meet the new criteria for monetization).

I will note that Twitter has been useful for creators who got their youtube channels randomly deleted and stuff.


I literally only use twitter for hentai at this point


the redpill in this situation would be going outside and talking to someone

Twitter users obviously avoid doing that due to the fact that they can’t block anyone who disagrees with them.

Blue pill is where these fools spends their day complaining and fighting for the things that don't exist.

Or know that anonymous forums have always been the best


8:57 That's the funniest thing Onision has ever said in his entire life.

Twitter was made for total crazy nutcases like him XD


The fact I’m a common internet user is why I prefer the easier life on Facebook.


"Account suspended for no reason"...................how prophetic

Simian Jimmy said it was because he said the day of retribution for meat eaters was imminent


i wish the internet went back to what it was in early 2000's...as in...before the fucking normies came and ruined everything.


OMG I've never seen a LESS researched rants...

...than I have from 99% of verified Twitter journalists and media outlets.
This EmpLemon feller knows  his internet meta data meme-formation. I offer a symbolic green verification badge for quality & monetization. Hopefully you read past the clickbait comment headline. I love Emp Lemon videos. Always happy to see the notifications and intrigued to hear what the videos are talking about.

@Discount Chocolate yesss, I love the cheap thrills of read more gags


I made a twitter years ago and never used it once. Was banned when I tried to log into it again lol


They all got hacked and shut down.<br>Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh!

They all got hacked and shut down.
Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh!


I recently use Twitter for sharing my stuff but after TLoU2 drama and bullshit, even the most Professional people forgot how to be a Professional and start rambling like 6 years old children who end the conversation with waa waa... I'm not kidding this is an actual conversation or I'm not sure this can call a conversation that I got into for neutral comment about the game.


Honestly I only use Twitter to have intelligent conversation about video games and comic book super heroes with people online and I use it sparingly, it has worked out well for me, but YouTube has always been my Internet platform of choice, even though I have been reading a lot of Reddit post recently since people have neat discussions about shows that I watch and games that I play.


Twitter's blue checkmark is basically a badge of shame at this point so when my favorite youtubers <i>don't</i> have one I see it as an absolute win.

Twitter's blue checkmark is basically a badge of shame at this point so when my favorite youtubers _don't_ have one I see it as an absolute win.

The checkmark shows how powerful money is


Emplemon your videos are great and very comfy to watch


How to become Verified on Twitter:

Step 1. Take condescending snipes at the latest “problematic” subjects and cower from deeper discussion.

Step 2. Repeat Step 1 ad infinitum.

I just don’t think I have that level of dismissive, reductive, surface-level, warped, mean-spirited cruelty in me.

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


Twitter: we don't want blue checkmarks to indicate endorsement of an opinion.<br>Also Twitter: removes checkmarks from users they don't endorse

Twomad's neck reminds me of a coconut tree


I wouldn’t mind Twitter getting deleted off the internet. The world would be better for it.

@Rappin' Ronnie Reagan Twitter is the perfect example of 'Necessary Evil' at work.

Idk man that feels like when 4chan nuked the furry board and they all spread to other boards because they had nowhere to go.

That would just make them migrate to other sites. Don't destroy the mental institution man, they'll just roam free. Better to keep them there where we can ignore them

Rappin' Ronnie Reagan That’s fair lol. At least people know what they’re getting into.

But then these people will plague some other site. Twitter is like the alcatraz/arkham asylum of the internet.

I actually had to take a break from Twitter and even Instagram for how ignorant and toxic they are. It just ruins your mood when you're trying to have a decent time


For a few years I have been toying with the idea of making a Twitter account, this video has put the final nail in that coffin.


imagine talking to the steak umm twitter man


It’s always funny to see people complain about one kind of social media on another form of social media


I have a friend who uses Twitter and he suffers for the whole group so we don't have to


Hentai Artists and memes are pretty much the only reasons I'd want to use Twitter

That, and dm'ing people or organizations you can only get in touch with on there.

Not hentai artist but the reason i don't leave twitter is because there's japanese artist who only post their work there, even famous artist from square-enix for example. It is also the way for me to know what my favorite artist have been up to. I don't like the digging through the Toxic Dump but it can't be helped.

@JOHN JOHN Newgrounds has had a resurgence after Tumblr's crusade against NSFW content.

@Paul Sween Honestly Instagram would be the best place if meme pages weren't so incentivized to go private and constantly promote shittier pages

@McFinnaPants Nhentai and HentaiHaven are better for full hentai and doujins but they exclude single pictures and 3d stuff, which is what Twitter, Pixiv, Reddit, Discord (sometimes), R34 (sometimes), and PH are better for.

-Message from a fellow coomer

I can name like 7 better places to see memes off the top of my head

Twitter is an awful place to observe artwork. If you want to see the works of Hentai artists you should go to Pixiv

@McFinnaPants Pixiv is Twitter for hentai tho oart of the UI and most tags are in untraslated Japanese. It's free on the app store

Twitter for Hentai sounds like a site which should exist if it doesn't already.<br>Hell, if PornHub wanted they could just make a full-on copy of Twitter all about porn in general and make tons of money.

@TapDat52K it's kinda impossible, Especially for the size of something like YouTube or Twitter. Since, You will eventually need to use bots to curate them, and...... I don't think I need to finish my statement

@TapDat52K --- Isn't it just an Newgrounds?

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

-And 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.


Hopefully Elon Musk will actually make twitter what it was SUPPOSED to be, or not and just keep adding gas to the raging dumpster fire. Now I realized this video has been posted a year ago…


Holy shit, I just realized that joe bernstein guy writes for my local paper


By removing the verified badges from people they dislike and making it harder to get a badge, they essentially turned it INTO an endorsement (which I suspect may have been their motive, but even if it wasn't. it's certainly intentionally kept the way it is for that reason).


0:54
My favorite part that make me laugh

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


How to get verified:

1) Make a fake EmpLemon account.
2) Have the account say things that are in poor taste (but not ban worthy).
3) Write a bunch of emails to yourself stating that you are no longer supporting the patreon/etc to establish a monetary loss.
4) Sue twatter.
It's cheaper for them to give you the damn checkmark than settle in court.


And now we have no dislikes and a censorship system on YouTube.


I really like this video, but for some reason I wish the thumbnail had a blue border given the title "Twitter Geographic". I'm OCD, I dunno. Keep up the good work!


Emplemon becoming bitter and jaded is peek 2020.


Boy is it certainly interesting to come back to this after the admin controls got leaked and were shown to include a trending blacklist function and user protection.


the day i got permanently banned from twitter for allegedly inciting violence with an edgy joke about weebs, was probably the most healthy thing that ever happened to me, arguing with random people for the sake of arguing was my cigarettes, it's good to realise no one gives a fuck about me and thats OKAY. you know? if you're a twitter user you have no idea what i mean.


Many people would hit the 10 minute mark, take their extra ad and leave it at that. It's always nice to see someone go the extra mile and dig deep into this niche video idea.


"To find out why, we have to follow the money"

immediately plays an ad

"To find out why, we have to follow the money"

*immediately plays an ad*


EmpLemon is the best YouTuber because he actually provides a list of music in the description rather than other YouTubers playing vaguely recognizable songs that I have to spend hours pulling my hair out over to try to find before giving up in despair.


I personally found that the YouTube comment section is one of the better and more considerate common sections on the internet. People actually engage. People actually debate. People think. It's far better than anywhere else.

The complaint people have to it I think is based off of it and old style that doesn't exist anymore.


You are killing it with these music choices!!!


Twitter's ceo be looking more and more homeless everytime you see him


I wonder what percentage of people use Twitter just for art and NSFW, nothing else. I personally don't see how anyone could tolerate the mere use of the website for anything else.


Combined with this and the Matt Watson video, it genuinely seems that this former meme reviewer puts more effort into journalism than basically every online based outlet and 90% of MSM outlets. EmpLemon is the new muckraker.


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


@EmpLemon Some constructive criticism just because I like you: At 17:32 you intended to censor someone's name, but left it a bit too late.  The name is visible for one frame and so the censor is useless.  The reason you do the censor is due to privacy laws.  So I thought I would just mention it, because I don't want you to get into any significant trouble for making that kind of mistake at the wrong times with the wrong names or something.


I could get food poisoning and that would do more good for me than twitter has done for the people on twitter.


Twitter may actually be the worst social media site on the entire internet. I LITERALLY only have twitter because a single content creator I like only uses twitter as a social platform outside of youtube. We need the users to rise up and create Twitter 2. If enough people jump ship, maybe it'll get to them that they actually need to treat users like human beings, and not puppets.


"Twitter is like if you took the YouTube comments section and made that the whole website"

I feel this is semi-true. A better quote would be, "Twitter is like if you took the toxic people of the YouTube comments section and made that the whole website"

I've had perfectly good conversations with people on YouTube, but I wouldn't even fuck with Twitter. I just see it and all the toxicity just reminds me of what this website is like. The only non-toxic people you'll find are ones who are just on Twitter to support their favorite content creators/keep updated on their favorite content creators, the content creators, or the people in the comments of porn.

Emplemon's discription is scaringlly accurate

At least the YouTube comments can be a good way for conversations and discussions on something but there are times when some comment trolls are trying to start a flame war, without realizing the fact that the users are mostly people too. Using your entitled opinion to insult everyone, just because everyone like something you don't like, is considered to be a bad idea.

Or even worst, spam bots are putting links and some unusual texts that leads you to a dangerous rabbit hole (except Rick Roll which it's totally harmless) just for the sake of attention spans.

I mean... Twiter is kinda antithesis of the tmblr...

At least i think.

@Ghost OfYou nah the news section infected the other parts

Reddit (at least the news section) is just as bad as Twitter.

@Alex Kennard It's not really a coincidence, Twitter proved to be a better alternate for posting nsfw stuff. Considering a popular amount of ex-Tumblr users were porn artists. Not just this type of group joining in, but also it's audience. Which makes more sense of the toxicity there.

To me, Twitter is what Tumblr would be if it was as popular as YouTube. Funnily enough, I immediately noticed that Twitter grew exponentially in its toxicity when Tumblr users flocked to the site after the Great Tumblr Purge of 2018. Call it a coincidence.

@Sangwoo Cho Well, porn comments hardly ever lead into arguing over truly divisive issues. If you hop onto a video for Pornhub or Hanime people aren't going to argue about the legitimacy or solutions to systematic racism.

They are there to talk about whether what they watched was good fap material or try to sway others from wasting their time.

On Twitter or Youtube people aren't allies. I have come across neo-nazi's who believe in the JQ, Stalin-apologists saying they are communist, and everything in between.

@Michael its almost surreal how similar pornhub comment and instagram comments can be a times.

It’s surprising how porn comment sections are so healthy

I mean, you look at this comment section to see how toxic it is (or the lack of)


14:36 Nostalgia hit me like a damn train cause of that "Neighbours from Hell 2" music.


ngl i think the only "social media" i use as of now is Youtube, even Discord became toxic, or it has been since (coming from a user since 2016, it went to shit after 2018, just saying, and i deactivated my account because it took too much time from my life) and yeah i know this has nothing to do with the video but social media was a mistake, it could have been different, but n o, it's like the world really ended in 2012, after that social media just became a shitshow (especially in 2015 beyond my fucking god)<br>yes im speaking this on a social media, i'm a hypocrite, attack me

yes im speaking this on a social media, i'm a hypocrite, attack me

I deleted my Discord recently. I speak from experience: the site is fucking INFESTED with degenerates and pedophiles. I had no reason to be there anymore. I contacted my close friends from there so that I could still talk to them via Steam, or for others we use Telegram. But for the rest all my social media's are dormant.

i use discord for talkin' about programming and boy do i love it

My own discord server is a fairly wholesome place even though we make a lot of edgy jokes.
Meanwhile I know some discords that are FUCKED UP. There's one server that banned me several months ago and still shit-talks me. I've also seen some REALLY degenerate servers in the past.
Its mostly about where you go.

@Lucas Fortes shitposting servers we're talking about. these are people who cant talk. barely speak. and actually have legit conversations. these people all they do is shitpost and level with mee6. and then spam "ok. yes. oh. no." responding like robots.

@ArtsyCosmicDreamer TV it highly depends, as for me i used to be a lot in toxic servers, i think only two of them were good

Discord toxic? Maybe it's due to my increased insensitivity, but Discord is highly relient on the servers you are apart of. Twitter in contrast in inescapable toxicity.


"Twitter is like if you took Youtubes comment section and made that the entire website."


I remember I was a meme account on Twitter under the name, "Gary the Attack Helicopter" and I got into an argument with <b>THE</b> Thinknoodles. (Turns out he's a democrat by the way) That's my only experience with getting mad on Twitter because he had a checkmark and I didn't so he had thousands of people while I had one.

Most people that seem nice by their content are generally jerks on twitter. One time, I saw this family-friendly YouTuber who made smash content. I checked his twitter, apparently he never shuts up about politics and orange man bad. And he also retweets stuff with a lot of cursing. So yeah, found out he was actually a jerk when it comes to twitter


Removing porn from Tumblr was what killed the site. If you did the same to Twitter, i'd bet you a million bucks that the site would die overnight.

Also, it doesn't help that Twitter with its character limits and overall culture just isn't a suitable platform for discussing politics (and the amount of trolls and stans on there that wish to stifle conversation is fucking infuriating). I'd FAR more prefer that those people move to Reddit because at least on Reddit people would be able to fully express their ideas without the need of character limits and other dumb horse shit, and the media would actually ignore Reddit since the President doesn't have a huge presence on there while boomers like my dad wouldn't have a reason to leave Twitter and would probably enjoy his time on there more. As for the issue of how that would affect artists: all i can tell them is to adapt and to keep posting their SFW art on the site. You could easily lock NSFW stuff behind patreon paywalls.

Overall, we'd probably actually return to some level of normalcy that was present before the beginning of the Trump presidency, and we'd only have to worry about fighting the mainstream media as opposed to fighting the mainstream media & the Twitter Mob at the same time. I really just don't see why the mainstream media would side with Reddit, its way too decentralized and broken up due to the nature of subreddits.

Personally I feel as if as soon as Donald got elected in 2016, everyone went insane.

@DawnPraiser you know, smaller subs are not bad in my opinion. stuff like insert band circlejerks are not only good for lighthearted silly jokes, but also honest and laid back discussions on semi-serious/serious topics because of the nature of the subs. all of it goes down once it gets popular enough (okbuddyretard for example [not that good to begin with but it got much worse]). the same goes for normal communities like footballmanagergames, that has had both good memes and nice people helping each other with a pretty complex game.
stuff like dankmemes or 'special' subs like politicalhumor goes without saying.
the bottom line: yes, I'm the reddit expert and no, I'm not proud

@oh well
reddit should only be used for community discussion.

honestly, i don't think political discussion will ever be great. people will be illogical

@TFW's Meme DumpsterYou're also less likely to get a virus or spammed with ads on Twitter. The again, I barely use it myself. So what do I know?

Eeh this is debatable and I'll be honest, going to Reddit is kind of a terrible idea for multiple reasons. I think a better idea is to take advantage of the wave of new 2020 social media that is here/coming like MeWe,Okuna,NewTumbl, Pillowfort, and Bobaboard and use that instead.

Reddit also has the shitty like/dislike comment bumping

Reddit will lock your posts and ban you for thoughtcrimes. You are entirely at the mercy of the subreddit mods without any right to appeal. You can make your own subreddit but it's only a matter of time before it gets banned. Not surprising since Tencent owns it.

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

That blue bird spits in the face of its poem and does not bring happiness. And seeing what it does to people, more than any other site I would love for Twitter to die.


Honestly, I do actually see more engaging or at least more self aware discourse on Instagram, at least the corners of it in which I dwell


Twitter verification is sort of like how Vidme verification was but without the restricting <i>basic functions</i> of the website to anyone who wasn't verified and the process of getting verified is way worse on Twitter.

I forget where I heard it, but I very much agree with these words:

Tried twitter once and realized all of this instantly.

It’s pointless.
Its a rat race for popularity and thats it.
You get NOTHING from the popularity, because this isn’t highschool.


Twitter is such a toxic cesspool. I’d rather try to have an intelligent conversation on 4chan than ever touch twitter beyond just news and announcements from the few people I follow.

You can, as long as you avoid politics and go in an off-topic thread. For example /v/ is the best place to talk about animals

The only reason why I go to twitter is for the memes, announcements and the good lewd stuff

Depending on the board it is possible to have an intelligent conversation on 4chan

hell, i'd probably get a more meaningful conversation with a fed on /pol/ than the average twittard

Depending on which board you visit, that's not really too tall an order.

@Space Goldfish yes; 4chan is never political


4:43 It's truly a testament to the idiocy of the residents of Springfield that Homer was able to impersonate crusty without masking the few strands of hair on his head.


Tbh I don't really care about the checkmark thing, I only use twitter to see art, and it works pretty well, except when things like the NFTs appear, then it goes all downhill because everyone is paranoid of their art getting used without their permission.


I was wondering how he'd explain twitter was like the red pill then just died laughing


I once posted a picture that had the word "Forbes" on it. Within seconds, a Forbes journalist with a verified account and over 200k followers followed, then unfollowed me.

@Succubastard 101 This happened to me, but on YouTube. The only difference is that account is still subscribed to me after over a year. I'm still wondering how it found me because back when it subscribed, the only people who were subscribed to me at the time were my friends.

@Punocchio I have had random people with even thousands of followers starting to follow me at random without liking or retweeting even oneof my replies, and I almost never post anything, just reply.<br>After I check a second tiem, they've already unfollowed me.

Its almost like they have cult mentality. Dont question only follow.

@Migolas I was told that there are bots on instagram who follow people and unfollow them after some time. The reason being that these people following back, so you get more followers, without in the long run actually following people you're not interested in. I supposed, this might work on twitter aswell.

Then he probably made a tweet about how he's "HelPInG sMalL cReAToRs"


Really wanna see EmpLemon make a video on what a treacherous snake Ethan "H3H3" Klein is.<br>It seems like he's a good guy but this dude actually starts off a lot of drama since 2016 and portrays himself as the gopd guy sorting things out while he started it all.

20:38 More like someone kicked over a hornet's nest then lured the hornets into a wasp nest.


I had to pause the video so I could laugh at the idea of consulting "Steak-umms" for information on a social media site.


"there's no such stigma for grey checkmarks" Well, there seems to be one forming for grey checkmarks getting top comment now.


"Empathetic MoonPie consoling depressed Sunny D" is the craziest sentence I've heard in a long time


"Nobody would endorse Ted Bundy"<br>Tumblr 13 year old girls prove you wrong

"Nobody would endorse Ted Bundy"
Tumblr 13 year old girls prove you wrong


I thought the first minutes were just a setup for a twist and a more neutral discussion after that, but nope. And I can sort of see how EmpLemon came to that position on it. I neither have his connections nor knowledge concerning this, but I am concerned about the quasi-public lynching that's going on there each day. Sure, people there aren't lynched to death (thankfully!) but the mindset of the people executing the lynching isn't any different from the mindset people had more than 100 years ago, when lynching was an actual thing. And I think that's as sad as it is dangerous. Literal 100-year retards given way more power as a crowd than they should ever be able to hold.


Blue Checkmark?
Did you mean: Mark of the Beast ?

Here after Elon just bought the website. Hopefully you get your mark emp!


if people keep seeing stuff like twitter verifications and youtube ads as "endorsement" then it would become one.
personally i dont believe that the people making the ads even care about the product, more so are the people playing them and the places the ads end up.
ads never fit into context and are designed to be out of context, that is why ad placements in movies can be so jarring when you notice it.

also this is a big one but who said that any big company endorses anything but themselves, of course they would endorse other products but that is only when money is exchanged for said endorsement.

as an outside person who does not use twitter I just want to say that if the twitter tick is a pointless sign of endorsement, and a failure of a system of validation,
AND IT CANNOT BE BOTH.


Twitter is like crack cocaine except you don't get the high and the side effects are a thousand times amplified.


I'm freaking glad I barely use Twitter anymore because of my ADHD.


So they said Verification isn’t an endorsement immediately before saying it very much is in fact, an endorsement.


I must be glad that Twitter gave me the best friends in this world


You should be verified automatically if you have two-factor authentication.


1:16 "Twitter is what would happen if you took YouTube's comment section and made that the entire website"

That is the single most damning description of Twitter I've ever heard

I dont agree with that at all. Twitter is way worse than youtube comments. I find many channels comment sections to be really deep and meaningful. If you see toxic YT comments as regularly as it is on Twitter then youre probably watching a shitty channel with a shitty fanbase.

I'd say that more so describes Reddit. At least here and on Reddit, you can have intellectual conversations (as rare as they may be). What "public discourse" can you have within 140 characters?

I’d say specifically the comment sections of news sites, some of the worst comments on any videos (that aren’t baby monkeys or other crazy shit)


Twitter has a legitimate use as a networking platform and for people like celebrities and YouTubers to make mass announcements that all of their fans will see (I.e. “Shows cancelled tonight, will be pushed back to tomorrow.”).

It could theoretically exist as a debate platform, where people share their opinions and conject as to the nature and validity of said opinions. But it doesn’t. And I doubt it ever will.

Only benefit to Twitter is keeping up with memes/pop culture.


24:19 I'm pretty sure that's a safe harbor violation, it's notification, takedown AND PUTBACK. Although, the lawyer I contacted to sue Nelvana for removing a teaser clip for Bakugan Abridged one-shot I've been procrastinating on refused to do anything about YouTube refusing to restore the video but YouTube does have a counter-notification processes and I am guessing Twitter doesn't. I'm also guessing that Twitter doesn't even fully comply with the takedown part.

I used twitter for 4 or more months, it isn't just filled with hateful people, if You're not already, it makes You hateful. Twitter is a regret of mine.

@Ligma Jones true, true. its incredibly well drawn but its still not "good" in that aspect.

man, twitter really needs a universe rest.

@Christian Flaherty: Sequel Edition I heard recently that some guy doxed His mother for social credit 'cause She wished Him happy birthday. It's odd how many people just use it bicker, even if They have a life, They value twitter over it!

I agree. I use it just as a stockpile for my art, and EVERY TIME I visit it out of curiosity I see endless bickering, cynicism, and people fishing for social credit. It’s really warped my mindset and made me far more insecure and cynical about my life, and I wish I never got into it. <br>Hey, at least the animal-centric accounts seem to be good. There’s a bat one that just shares plush bats and motivational quotes. That’s nice.

@dapperthanMax I agree, hentia in My book is bad thing, which makes twitter worse. Porn is super addictive, and I wish people would stop saying it's good thing. It's harmful to Your brain, it reduces motivation and feelings of reward.

i was on there for as long as you were and i also discovered how shitty it was. honestly, when the only good thing you have on there is a few rare gems and lot of hentai, i think you should fix your site more.

@Daniel G I once argued with someone on twitter for 4 or 5 days, I don't even remember why, We just kept jabbing at each-other 'cause We had different opinions. I quit twitter after having a mental breakdown. I kid You not!

@Daniel G twitter is a place for people liberals, (who get mad for having a different opinion) celebrity's getting cancelled for so.something they did years ago, and big brands

Literally this. There’s something spiritually harmful about it. Sometimes you get so wrapped up you don’t realize what you say and what you read. It brings the worst out of most people which is why it’s the source of most cancel culture controversies, yet another  thing that people get wrapped up in before you realize that you ruined lives.


It should also be said Drag Queens get verified on Twitter and Instagram VERY VERY quickly. Especially ones who get on Rupauls drag race or Dragula. Or ones with Online notoriety like Juno Birch.


this has the quality of a studio produced documentary


the rewatchability on these video's is amazing


Is it terrible that i agree with EmpLemon with everything he said about twitter but still love to use the site?

Edit: Update I deleted my twitter app and will not go back again for awhile (maybe forever)


As soon as I heard the phrase "Twitter is a mental institution" I thought to myself "Count me in!" and almost went to the site to jump head first into the waste pile. But as the video continued the site sounded less like a insane asylum and more like Dante's Inferno. No degeneracy is worth that. Until I see a detailed map of Twitter's topography on what areas are free from divine intervention I'll wait a few years for the authority to collapse in on itself.

Oh I can tell you from firsthand experience that it is far worse than Dante's Inferno.

There are some hidden gems on Twitter, my favorite is @IEatClownButt.

Zorro9129 lol silly youtube man :)

fun and 4chan dont go in the same sentence :)

@Zorro9129 eh, anymore, I find that 4chan is becoming less and less fun to interact with. People get heated over there too, but it's definitely better than twitter.

4Chan is the type of chaotic bedlam that's actually fun (or used to be).  Places like Twitter resemble actual hell to a frightening degree.


4:57 Did he win? If so, is someone impersonating you? If so, sue Twitter.


If the people I hate most could tell me who they are without any work on my end to find out, it would look like a blue checkmark.


Thank God Jack is out of the picture now.


The only 2 things I go on Twitter for is NSFW ART & Animation News.


Back in like 2011 I used Twitter to actually talk to a few celebrities. No one TOO big. Edgar Wright is probably the most notable, and we discussed the clackers used in movies. It was neat.
Twitter doesn't resemble that site anymore. Especially the last couple months, it's been quite a war. The good ol' potus isn't helping, and I'd argue has made things worse.
Twitter is just bizarre overall though. I don't know why anyone uses it anymore. It doesn't do anything that literally any other social media doesn't let you do, and what it does do, it does worse. Although, Facebook's promotion system is absolute garbage.
It's as if corporatizing societal discourse destroys it or something, but who knows... I'm just an unverified account

@Alien Jack Skaijackson doxxed a kid once, That one covington kid got death threats and people harrassing him and calling his school to get him expelled.

@Mrs Derka Both sides do that shit. People claimed Obama was an Anti-Christ that would destroy the planet in a space war with Russia.

ODS was everywhere.

@Alien Jack looking at the trending tab will show you to the screeching activists on both sides, its not the hard to find these people

@Alien Jack I just see it as rabid political activists on any side of any spectrum. They're ALL cancer. That's not including the Corporations ruining the fun

@The Breakfast Menu mate, there are tons of people/users who also made Twitter worse. Journalists being lying psychopaths and actively  consume and share orange man's tweets and share false information so we people can be reactive shits online they have much blame too. political commentators or so called activists going on cancel brigades and making companies bend to their will.<br>"Our burger president is at fault here" is what I can interpret tbh.

"Our burger president is at fault here" is what I can interpret tbh.

@The Breakfast Menu because social media (of all forms) has brainwashed people away from rational discussion and into hyperbolic, out of context thinking that appeals to emotion. This applies to both the right and left

@Oda Swifteye How come people read "the potus isn't helping" and see it as "I put the entirety of the blame on Trump"?

I mean Donald Trump has been on Twitter for years, well before he became the president and he's used it the same way since so I don't know how much blame he can take for it. I feel like the general audience of Twitter is really bad but the average person was occasionally making constructive use out of it.

@Mrs Derka but you see, the seething hatred for him is causing anti-SJWs to get more pissed off at SJWs, which leads to both sides wanting to put the internet into their favor. He's not directly to blame for it, but the outrage mob made such a big hoopla about him, it's only made things worse.

We're headed into the Kali Yuga where petty authority figures, the type you find on Twitter, run society.  The new internet sucks but it's mainly because of the outside world imposing its grip on it.

I use Twitter mostly to look at art, animation news and cute dogs. I might post my own art someday for fun.

I try to avoid politics like the plague but it's honestly impossible. Somehow it ends up leaking into my timeline

PlotTwist actually the thing I hate most on the internet is when people blame literally anything on these super vague SJW’s like who are these sjw’s that are ruining the internet cause I’m not seeing them.

The internet in general isn't the same place as it was back in 2011. I consider 2011 the last good year for the internet. Everything's been going downhill since then. Politics has seeped into everything and internet censorship is to the point where social media sites feel like the internet version of North Korea. Everything's just so clinical and devoid of fun nowadays thanks to SJW outrage mobs holding the reins and steering the culture in the direction they want it to go in, not the direction everyone else wants it to go in.
