Basically any channel that reviews toys of any kind has to categorize themselves as being for kids, meaning that even channels intended for adult collectors have to be kid friendly.

ive read it also means comments will be disabled for kid channels too

Ive also read that having your channel flagged as for kids guts your advertising revenue, because the kinds of adverts that can be shown to kids are more limited.

These are true. And even if you don't flag your channel as for kids, YouTube can basically decide that "Yes, it is for kids" based on the content and put a strike against you for inappropriate content.

so this includes video games right

It might. I've noticed a lot of video gaming channels are already censoring their content, as well as movie review channels. For example, a lot of Mortal Kombat youtubers have to use D'Vorah for fatality/brutality/Fatal Blow/Krushing Blow videos if they want to monetize it because she's the only character in the game that doesn't have "real" blood.

I'd imagine at the very least for stuff like Mario, you're restricted on what you can say and do in your videos.

I don't see how anybody could possibly support the GOP at this point and not be ashamed.

Trump could be caught on camera shooting someone in broad daylight and they'd still find some way to bring in Hunter Biden or Hillary's emails.

That's what a lot of people are doing (or attempting to do).

It doesn't make YouTube any less shitty though.

How?

You play with toys you sit at the kid's table

There's literal action figures out there for ages 15+. Again, there's channels that specialize in reviewing Hot Toys. Kids don't buy that shit.

What about somebody reviewing a Mortal Kombat figure? Clearly the IP it's based on is not meant for kids, yet content creators have to either make it kid-friendly, or risk getting the hammer brought down on them just because they're reviewing a figure based off of the property.

There's also a grey area there. What if the "toy" in question comes with a decapitated head or someone's ripped out spine?

YouTube isnt a job

This is a pretty meaningless statement if you ask me. And also false.

A lot of people have made a steady living off of the platform and people often discredit a lot of the work content creators put in to keep their channel going.

Regardless of whether you feel it's justified to make a living off of YouTube videos, a lot of people DID, only to have YouTube sweep the rug out from under them. Not only that, but people have genuinely launched successful careers in various industries based off of the success of their YouTube channel. TheFwoosh in particular used the success of their YouTube channel to springboard their own action figure line.
---

I have nothing else to say

FYI, a lot of popular toy review channels have already considered moving to other platforms.

Probably the biggest and most notable action figure review channel, TheFwoosh, has already stated they're putting up their last toy-related videos before moving to their own platform.

Makes sense. Toys are for children.

Not all of them.

For example, no kid is buying a $200-300 Hot Toy.

Most stuff from NECA and McFarlane isn't exactly made for children either.

My favorite season is Asylum. I thought it played up the horror bits relatively well. Although it had a few plotlines that went nowhere (which is typical AHS fashion), I thought it had a satisfying conclusion and overall told a cohesive story.

Plus, the random dance number in the middle was amazing and fit the theme. Reminded me of the movie Good Burger.

The aliens were really fucking weird though and felt totally out of place in the story.

Everything else about Asylum was really fucking good though.

Also TC, if you're not a big fan of the CW-style drama, I'd check out Roanoke. I found that season genuinely scary and it didn't have the cheesy writing that many of the other seasons had (Coven was especially bad about this).

I watched the first three seasons and just felt.. underwhelmed? I expected horror, and while there were definitely some unexpected scares/twists, there was so much soap opera I felt like I was watching a CW show.

imo a big part of the appeal is more in the atmosphere and the way they tie in historical figures and events into these fictional storylines.

It's an exploration of classic American urban legends, history, serial killers, folklore, etc., wrapped up into (imo) interesting stories.

Also a big part of why I didn't like Apocalypse. It just spent the whole season revisiting earlier seasons in a very, very boring way. It tried to be a unique story and it failed very bad.

Agreed.

And my biggest problem with Apocalypse is that the first 3 episodes actually take place in the far more interesting and, up until now, unvisited setting of the post-Apocalypse. Then it totally abandons that setting for a far less interesting storyline. I really wish the entire plot took place in the post-Apocalypse, because the idea of a post-Apocalypse brought about by the literal Antichrist, with witches and warlocks running around trying to stop him is a really cool idea. I also found Michael to be a much more credible in the first 3 episodes. I mean, I get that that's the point but I was genuinely enjoying him as a villain at the start.

It could be the Big Bad of the series. They've honestly been foreshadowing it pretty hard and despite us knowing nothing about him, his presence has been felt throughout all of these shows.

Kenan and Kel are in the same universe as Good Burger and All That, which is also in the same universe as The Amanda Show. Amanda Show produced the spin-off Drake and Josh. It would seem the line ends there because iCarly doesn't have any obvious connections to everything else, right? WRONG! Helen from Drake and Josh guest stars in an episode of Victorious, which confirms that it's canon to Drake and Josh. But it also stars the character Cat, who crosses over with Sam from....you guessed it, iCarly!

Now we know All That is receiving a revival series led by two of the OGs....Kenan and Kel. Could this lead to a massive, Crisis on Infinite Earths-scale crossover with ALL of the Nickelodeon TV Universe characters?

Man I'm high as shit....

I have no fucking idea what Bethesda is doing anymore.

It's likely they're actively trying to ruin their reputation and the minute you want to let up on them just a little bit, they do something even more greedy and shitty the next time.

They're just lazy assholes. They've always had terrible post-launch support for their games, and starting with Skyrim they've been minimizing and streamlining the content of their games.

I don't know why the hell anyone would want Fallout 76, a DayZ/Rust knock-off that came five years too late, based on an engine literally designed around singleplayer gameplay that can't even accommodate Field of View changes, which was advertised as having basically no meaningful content at launch.

A lot of game developers have been doing this shit though.

I thought Ubisoft had turned over a new leaf with AC Origins and GR Wildlands. Then they push out Odyssey and Breakpoint and it's just these microtransaction-intensive games with massive ass empty worlds and broken mechanics.

Laziness is one thing. Refusing to cancel people's subscriptions after it's found out that the features they were promised don't work is just being a scumbag.

For fuck's sake, even EA would start throwing the players a bone by this point.

There's nothing wrong with banning a player for essentially testing a bug in the game and reporting it to Bethesda?

With people having class wars
It's a game
Play a different one if you don't like things

Oh that one I just found funny. That there's basically a war between subscribers and non-subscribers.

I was just thinking the other day that the USPS workers around me have been incredibly friendly the last few years. I assumed it was some sort of customer service effort. Every one I pass while walking the dog is extremely nice.

The carriers that delivered to my mom's house were always pleasant. One time, I had narrowly missed a delivery and as I came back to her house, the guy actually saw my car and turned back around to deliver my package. He even knew me by name. I always liked that carrier and wish he was doing my routes now.

My dad has worked for the USPS for about 30 years and he's told me numerous times how so many of the new people they're hiring literally don't give a fuck about their jobs lmao.

I remember one time I went to the post office like 15-20 minutes before closing time and got in line. And the clerk tried to tell me I got in line after they said they wouldn't be serving any more people, even though literally everybody else in line tried telling her I'd been standing there for 15 minutes. Then eventually she just goes "I saw you just get into line and I know you're lying, but I'll let you in out of the kindness of my heart!"

I'm just like wtf lmao. I've never been so taken back by an interaction with an employee in my life....except for the one time I went to KFC

Considering the sheer scale of the operation, I think they do pretty well really.

Hell no they don't.

Every USPS office I've been to down here has been a thoroughly unpleasant experience and since moving to my new apartment, my mail carrier is extremely lazy since he won't even bother going into the leasing office to get a signature confirmation.

Nobody did Agent 47 but this was the route I found

Agent 47 is in Hitman 2016 with Santa
Santa is in Toejam and Earl with Toejam
Toejam is in Super Indie Karts with Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight is in Super Smash Bros Ultimate with Mario

I really wanted to figure out a way using Gary Busey but unfortunately the only other game thing he seemed to have done was marketing for Saints Row 2.

Here:

Hitman had Gary Busey
Gary Busey did marketing for Saints Row 2
Brian Tee was in Saints Row 2
He was also in The Wolverine
Wolverine was in MvC with Ryu
Ryu is in Smash Ultimate

That's 7 steps, ain't it?

I guess it depends on what you're counting as a step
