From sharing books, comics, CDs, DVDs, cassettes, and vinyl records to sharing Instagram reels and TikTok videos, we as a civilization have made significant progress.

A few semesters ago I read Trust by Hernan Diaz. I liked it, but I understand its flaws, and you have to get through a lot of boring setup for the payoff. This comment is a vague spoiler, so proceed with caution. - - - Basically, one influential characters doesn’t like what someone publishes about him, so he uses his power and wealth to destroy all the copies of this book to the point where it basically doesn’t exist. But my professor (who had a history working in archives and libraries) took issue with this, and said how unrealistic is was because of how much evidence printing hundreds of copies of a book leaves. And I just wonder… how much easier would that hypothetical become the more we switch to digital? Sure, popular books almost always have print editions, but what about smaller ones that can only afford digital publishing? The ones who are least able to challenge the interests of the bigger corporate world? If I publish a book on the flaws in the digitalization of books… how easy does it become for Amazon to simply delete my ebook, or bury the listing with its algorithm? If I can’t push to print it because of the prioritization of digital media, how easy will it become for my words to be erased?

Physical is the way!

These days you aren't making music, you are making content for Spotify. You aren't taking photos, you're creating content for Instagram. You are making videos or films, you're making content for UA-cam. All creative arts are made to appease an algorithm and then moved on to the next thing, rather than be appreciated for being art. If we wandered through a museum the same way we peruse works of art online we'd be sprinting through the building rather than taking in the works.

I’m a hipster pushing forty who does web design and almost spit out my locally-roasted coffee at this bit 😂 Glad to see our analog ways are being carried on 🫡

i always forget most social media displays following count. i mostly use tumblr, which feels more real. i just see what my friends thought worth sharing, not endless algorithms.

The intro? Confusing yet iconic

love tis video!!!!

tubular bells!!?! lets gooooooooo

This video was all over the place, I felt like you were trying to make a point by connecting certain ideas together. But I failed to understand your point, what do youtube algorithms have to do with owning dvds and music? I’m not even really sure what you are complaining about. Is it youtube creators having their creative expression negatively influenced by algorithms?

Really great video! I keep a journal with ticket stubs, receipts, thoughts from the week, photos and things like that. Little sketches. Some weeks it feels essential, and sometimes it just feels like generating paper that will take up space, and one day someone will get rid of. Like your mum said, it's difficult to know what's important in the moment. I have a copy of Lord of the Rings that used to belong to my mum, that I used to read when I stayed in her old bedroom at my Grandma's house. I would never throw that away, but maybe one day someone will think about an old journal of mine like that? Thought-provoking stuff, thanks for making :)

One of my real concerns is that our community library classifies books that are 5 years old as out of date, and they regularly clear out their shelves. There is no depth to the current collection and no experience of our past writers.

Very interesting to see a young fella talking about and grappling with some of the ideas that I as a 71 year old book lover am thinking about at the moment, as I begin my Death Cleaning process so my kids are not left with stuff they don't want. I still like to hold a book. I don't have a Kindle I can hold, but I have a library of Kindle resources on my computer....mostly health related, with many cook books. They will be easy to dispose of. My family heirloom books not so much. Thank you. A well created ideas flow that I am recommending to all my friends.

Dude instant subscribe I laughed out loud when you said "hipsters nowadays are 40 and do web design" Great stuff!

Great videos! And I watched the Jack conte vid too, really inspiring. Thanks for the conscientious creative output - this corner of the internet is special

12:33 I literally laughed out loud when you turned into a podcaster😆

Your name next to a number 🤔 totally dystopian

Adored this video! As a maximalist (nice word for hoarder) I really value my stuff. Especially my books and the pieces of art I've started collecting over the years.

5:52 my roomates can absolutely stop me from moving shit...

this video feels so 2014 and i love it.

good video. you earned yourself a sub my man

Man your video has a character, and I loved it. Thank god its not a video goes like hey guys today i'm in a random location with a random number of fools, and we are gonna some random shit because you brain rot morons are gonna watch it and we will get the money. Keep making "art" like this. Best of luck.

This video felt really thoughtful and inspiring in a way that I don't encounter often. You're using your voice in a way that many others could only wish to and I think that's really great.

This is the first video of yours I've seen and it's hitting me at a profound time of change where I am feeling disconnected and isolated and I think what you've talked about is at least a big scoop of why. I have this existential ennui from having my attention commodified and art becoming an algorithm. I write and paint and play the piano and with the way media is going sometimes it feels almost pointless to keep going and trying because no one will publish me without a TikTok following and like Joe Pug said the painters just draw pictures of the things that they want... I'm glad other people are also frustrated and want this to change. It gives me another reason to keep trying. Thank you.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Information, on the other hand, is created and destroyed every day. Just something I think about a lot.

I have seperate desks! Already ahead of ya

Just moved to chicago from savannah and me and my roommates freaked at the e shavers mention 😂😂

If I had the book problem, then I would just donate the to the library and check it out when I want to read it.

My grandma had around 8 cases of photographic slides my grandad took when they were younger. I never met my grandad because he died before I was born. One time I spent three months looking for the slideshow proyector around my grandmas house, and when we found it, I watched with my grandma some of the slides together. She saw pictures of her running days for the first time in decades! And she told me everything she could remember about them. She passed down the slides and the projector to me before she died, and I keep it with praise. My mom found some old slides from when she was a kid and we went through them together. I think to myself. When my phone go crushed under my car, where did the pictures go? Can I still find pictures of my first day at uni? I tell myself I just have to take it to a service center...

5:50 I've always said the assumption of immovable furniture is a pernicious myth resulting in wasted space and bigger houses

A very superficial perspective on the topic, but a house full of books will always be better than an empty house with a kindle nicely put away in a drawer. And I'm a minimalist.

how much mana did it cost to summon a clarinet like that

literally movie quality and still such less views.

After watching your apartment tips video, I checked out your Channel and I'm so glad I did this was awesome!

i subscribed as soon as i saw the bo burnham "inside" reference, and i'm only like 4 minutes in!!

good thing i never stopped pirating

i like how when you say :stress levels go down creativity goes up" if you have bad speakers it sounds like you're saying "trust levels go down"

I liked this! Lily Alexandre also makes good videos about this

This is edited really well and I really appreciate the message. Gained yourself a suscriber my friend!

sounds like i've got the perfect excuse to put up a corkboard with some conspiracy theory on it. anyone know if red thread's easy enough to see or am i gonna have to get some yarn for this?

This is so good haha✨

11:59 Instructions unclear. There are now 30-50 regular boars in my flat.

i wrote a list of 10 things I´m interested in and each time I clicked on a video on UA-cam, I checked if it matched with an entry on my list. If it matched I watched it, if it didn´t I closed it. Shocking...

The River double album is a fire way to start getting into The Boss

A really inspiring video

It's so funny you talked about trash cans. I literally took a picture of mine the other day thinking of starting a collection of 'things that make you happy after 30'. And having neatly arranged well kept trash cans in a handy space is just freaking... amazing. who would have thought.

0:30 Less books? What the hell are you talking about, you crazy?

the bo burnham refrence really ties this all together. i love this, this needs to be talked about more (but maybe not just yet bc i benefit from everyone chucking away all their old physical copies of things)

among us
