"Vegan Gains" = GARBAGE CONTENT.

28 October 2018 [link youtube]


Vegan Gains’s current content has zero educational value, and zero entertainment value: if I wanted to hear analysis at the level of “you’re a dumb *****”, I’d watch CNN. https://twitter.com/eiselmazard

Here's the link to the earlier video mentioned, "The wonder that was Freelee (RT4 in the past tense)." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJd6wQlMW5Y

this video is gonna reach a very small
audience but I hope it's an audience that cares for it appreciates it to some extent I am voluntarily censoring the video the video is gonna contain coarse language it's gonna be the kind of video that YouTube would not want to put advertising on and it's gonna be 18 plus why because I'm talking about the most obvious element of vegan Keynes's current repertoire that we all have to endure as vegans and you know this isn't something people ask me about it's something people bluntly say to me all the time earlier today I was talking to a room of vegans 30 40 50 I didn't ask people older mature vegans and someone just said flatly I hate being in the same category like you know you guys everybody say we have this guy durianrider who's dragging the name but it's just you know it wasn't the main type of conversation but it came up sincerely we're the guy said at one point said look couldn't we come up with a better definition a name can't we come up with something I don't know all the things I mean look we're partly talking about a real world phenomenon a political phenomenon and movement we are partly talking about an internet phenomenon right i I don't know if the comic book youtubers wake up that way they're like I just I just can't stand making content in the same category as those spider-man people can't the x-men people in this product I don't know if it runs that deep I don't know if one's that deep for the videogame people that the Nintendo and the Sony fans wish they had separate platforms I doubt it what why where does this come from you know I had a bunch of people react very positively to a simple and blunt statement I made on Twitter to paraphrase I said the other day the current content from vegan gains has zero educational value and zero entertainment value if I wanted to hear someone sit there and call somebody a dumb [ __ ] and a dumb [ __ ] if that was the level of analysis I was interested in I would watch CNN so I'm partly joking look I'm not somebody who's opposed to the use of coarse language in and of itself I think one of the advantages we have over CNN is that we can come on here on YouTube and be really sincere and really spontaneous and in a really unscripted way share our feelings and if you've watched this channel for long enough you've seen me break down weeping four or five times I don't know somebody in my youtube audience is keeping track it's a broken tail we figure out camera um that's a beautiful thing that's a positive part of the content we have if I were having a roundtable discussion with five people and I spontaneously said in the middle of it maybe in the middle of a sincere reflection or something I was always but oh my god you know this idiot if I just said this with with real hatred that's spontaneous way I think that's completely legitimate YouTube content well that's not all you're saying well with vegan gains what we have is this completely phony theater of the absurd of him sitting down at his desk Ashton was scripted public service announcements sitting there and staring into the camera with this [ __ ] action figures look yes ladies and gentlemen um or you might have watched this YouTube video in it it might not have occurred to you that this woman is a dumb [ __ ] so let me give you this really useful analysis I came up with uh let's just watch this video and let me break it down for you um yes at this point the video I'm gonna say dumb [ __ ] Oh who needs to hear this like this the same function would be better served if you're gonna do this kind of dry sitting in front of human you could play the clip and you could sit there silent with your arms folded you could sit there like if there's one thing the audience knows or configurable for themselves in those if that level of analysis like someone had dumb [ __ ] now the other side of it I've talked about this over the years maybe once a year this comes up the role of sincerity in YouTube video recording my best girl with melissa is in the room here with me Melissa will remember couple months ago we came in from the gym and I was exhausted and I didn't really feel into a youtube video and this again linked to vegan gains it's like oh I should do a video talking about palm oil and ecology and you know I just have nothing to say I said here babe look sit down for two minutes you know this is nothing I've nothing to say him I just seem kind of down and demoralizing disengaged watched into this really passionate somewhat vulgar you know this this performance that you didn't see coming I mean you really weren't you have like wow like I did not see that coming you just said like you really had nothing to say you you felt like you know there was no point sure the audience and then you come on either that's real that's real I'm really you know I'm really passionate about ecology I'm really passionate afforestation and in that video it may seem like an overly technical thing I'm drawing people's attention to the hypocrisy of treating palm oil plantations as completely different from date plantations a date grows on a date palm palm alder what's what is the [ __ ] difference and you know I really do swear a bit and and stare in the camera you guys may think that's camp fine you know I'm not here to convince anyone but like the reason I'm doing that is because it's really real and the other thing is look we're not all equal this is broadcasting and we're all broadcasting from a different platform with a different basis and different options I wish I had a round table of five people to do vegan videos with I wish I could move on from sitting here ranting alone to the camera this is an anthropology concept this is really like weapons of the weak who comes on YouTube to talk about politics and philosophy this way people who don't have a better alternative and that's the other thing with I mean it's true vegan gains it's true if you're looking at someone like Jake Paul like Jake Paul and these other youtubers it's like look I look at these the crappy mainstream YouTube religio policy look when you first started if this was the only content you could do is film yourself doing a spontaneous dumb prank and screaming into the camera and this kind of these kinds of antics fine but now you have an audience of millions you have a lot of income coming in you've got a progress you've got to step it up I think likewise you know if you see someone go I see a lot of people on YouTube who are still in high school you see people who are in youtuber college or even if you're older in middle age where you have a full-time job you have no time you have no reserves you have no audience and all you can do is come on camera and share your frustration and maybe you've got nothing else to share but to shout you know you jump [ __ ] that's all you've got to do that's that's pathetic but ok I relate to it with vegan gains it's it's more forgivable because this guy's this point a highly successful earning a living earning a significant living from this and he is not putting in the effort to progress beyond a level a level that would be shameful even for like the amazing atheist or Jacqueline clan and his other crap you know you do not put that much that much effort you know into YouTube ok guys I wanna say one thing I said this once to Isaac in a private conversation conversation I once said to Isaac you know nobody is more aware than I am that my channel would have continued to grow and get bigger and bigger if I had stayed angry all the time you know I knew the difference I've done some videos about freely if you don't know if really is don't Google you don't want to know there once was an influential person in Venus go freely I did some videos but freely that were really analytical and down-to-earth there's one called the Wonder that was freely I remember that's really just discussing in an analytical way why did people become members of this call what did they believe in you know what was the significance of the anti medical establishment hysteria all the stuff of a medical doctors you know really getting into this in the morning look away and I did videos where I sat there and said you lying hypocrite with your fake Ted you know you know talent bummer that rages in there right that's sincere and it's finite I don't have another ten videos to make that are angry that way and and one genre video from my perspective is is is to some extent vindicated by the others look I really have sunset I have feelings to share I don't just that once here and I was never attempted I never even considered the option of of making rage into a trope or a meme or an act no I mean there was a time when I was I was alone at university you know trying to make the world a better place hoping to be involved in vegan activism and not only is there no legitimate vegan activism for me to join in or get involved in I look on the internet come here New Japan what what is it that passes or vegan activism it's this like orthorexia Rexach weight-loss cult and hold these lies and this woman with fake tits who's telling you she's opposed to using soap she's opposed to using shampoo she's opposed to eating a non-organic mango she's so come into the cult of nature and yet there she is with her fake tits from a you know your she's against all kinds of legitimate medical procedures and surgeries and yet you have faked it it's not just faked it's guys there was something here worth ranting about and yeah you know there's there a couple of videos were not for no reason I never made a video where I'm just insulting this woman where I'm just calling her an idiot or calling her a dumb [ __ ] it's like there there really was a reason there was a reason for the fashion and it reflected my powerlessness at that time also right again sorry it's a it's like a meme and anthropology you know weapons of the week we look at the you know the frustration of powerless powerlessness of these people but at this point you know vegan gains is is in a he's in a real position of power if anything he's the new freely he's in the position free was in yeah you know what it's exactly parallel I didn't even think of that the guy who said to me today that he feels ashamed to use the word vegan and he wishes he wasn't in the same category veganism that's like coming full circle to about four years ago where people said that about freely and people said that about durianrider because they were dragging the name of a vegan to the mind there is no happy ending to this video people talent is scarce and you know if you want to see somebody do better take a look in the mirror because the future of veganism is you and you and you and if you want better YouTube content that I've been able to produce in my five years of playing this game the alternative it's not Richard it's not complaining about Richard the alternative is you and you and you get on camera get on skype with me I don't give a [ __ ] send me an email let's make something positive happen but if you haven't tried and if you haven't failed don't tell me you want better if you ain't gonna do better that's what's up
