The Attention Economy is Rewarding Bad Behavior
More and more, content creators have to pull bigger and more harmful stunts to get attention online. Some aren't as serious, such as the various extreme makeup techniques on beauty TikTok. But when we get into the territory of lying, wastefulness, and putting other people in danger, when does it stop?

Переглядів 3,7 тис.Місяць тому
Clips from both Blue Lock Season 2 and Uzumaki have been making their rounds online... it's clear that there's an ongoing problem within the animation industry for multiple series to have quality drops like this. Let's talk about the exploitation of animators and the current state of this creative space. Sources: www.nytimes.com/2021/02/24/business/japan-anime.html www.grandviewresearch.com/ind...
Is Japan Really Experiencing an Overtourism Crisis?
Переглядів 1,8 тис.2 місяці тому
Japan has been attracting millions of tourists within the past few years, much due to the help of government initiatives and visitors posting about their trips on social media. But while visitation numbers have rapidly increased, is the country actually on the brink of overtourism? Or is it all being exaggerated?

The Confusing Marketing of Global Girl Groups: A Case Study of Katseye
Переглядів 3,6 тис.2 місяці тому
I love Katseye, but it seems like a lot of people (myself included) are confused with HYBE/Geffen's marketing of the group. I just wanted to talk a little bit about it since I watched the documentary a couple weeks ago! tags: #katseye #hybe #hybelabels #geffen #popstaracademy #commentary #kpop
Thank you for creating good content
I'm enjoying your videos, this one hits me tho, I really wanna visit Japan, I've heard about the issues within Japan, from the blocking of the mountain to the lack of respect people are showing towards the culture and the people. I hope this changes as I value their culture and traditions, I want to see every sight possible in whatever time I can be there I often pick up trubbish in my own local woodlands when I manage to get out in the UK, and I'd hope I would be the same in Japan.
Your voice is so calming to listen to! 💗 Excited to see more videos from you and the topics you cover 😇
Great advice to take a break from internet sometimes!!
Wonderful video essay. Subscribed!
Slop, ragebait content is ruining so many creative outlets. It's frustrating to see how many deserving creators are overshadowed by this attention-seeking behavior
9:14 this point 👏👏👏 I can’t handle the rage bait 🙄
With the people who are constantly looking for attention online, I wonder what happens when the fame and money stops. And they think they to keep doing something to get the views back and nothing is working.
right!! and especially when their content is centered solely around shilling product, audiences will eventually get bored unless they have personality or uniqueness to bring to the table.
you’re so pretty!
aww you are so sweet thank you!!
The blush girl is like Gretchen in mean girls trying to make ‘fetch’ happen 😂
like... no way she actually does her makeup like this... right 😭
really good video!!! i enjoyed the analysis of overconsumption especially. i agree, most social media has become insufferable to me at this point. so disappointing because i used to love the creativity of social media! 😢
thank you so much for watching and commenting!! and yes agree, even though there are still creative people online, I miss the times when there were more people who were creating for the joy of it and not necessarily just for the money :(
Thought this video had a ton of views It deserves it
aww thank you so much for your support!
Yes, I thought this was a video made by a larger creator! Great video!
This is very underrated ☹️
aww haha in any case I'm very grateful for your support and everyone else who watched this video!
great video
thank you so much for watching!
very insightful!!!!
I'm glad you thought so!!
good video!!!
thank you for watching!!
L💗ve how u sumed it up in the end had to sub
I worked on the first season of Blue Lock, the problems were the same since then, just not as accentuated as they are now. As much polished movement as I could send, most of my cuts were reduced to still frames with a little bit of hair/cloth movement, which was incredibly frustrating. We are not allowed to show our LO work online, I imagine this is to save face with the audience.
If I recall correctly was Uzumaki Fully Founded by Warner Bros Discovery and Adult Swim?
Blue lock is one of the best sport mangas out rn this hurts my SOUL
Facts, it’s so disgusting and disrespectful what these production committees do to these animators and the original works, corporate greed always wins 🤦🏿
Yep and Production Committees actually Started as a way for studios to independently fund works, but sadly companies decided to get involved and of course took all the money for themselves and flipped off the studios who are actually doing the hard work.
I understand that the anime for blue lock was a big failure even tho season 2 was insanely amazing but of the Studio cannot manage or handle it then it might as well leave the series for someone to take the responsibilities, blue lock has potential to be great yet then screw it up, gosh if i were the artist I wouldn't want they touch anything for me.
Am new to your channel and your deserve more attention and likes, yeah blue lock season 1 was insanely amazing and now we getting season 2 and it looks like ass, gosh i want to hear the creator blue lock feed back.
png lock is crazy
It's embarrassing to see the uma musume anime has better animation then blue lock Heck I've seen Ninjago have better animation and all the characters are lego!
Read the Uzumaki manga it's better than the anime adaptation.
Every time it remember that windows movie maker, page flip ahh transition is just lose it 😭
how does this not even have 1K views?
It's so unfortunate that it hurts to see an anime such as Blue Lock get substandard animation, because we all agree that for the story and the intense passion it generates among the readers, it deserves a way better quality animation. Not to say that I don't care about those involved in making the anime though, they're humans and not robots after all and deserve fair treatment and justice, I just wish the entire Blue Lock team got it together for once and hit the peak again.
I caught myself saying “then don’t live in Tokyo” but instantly remembered that’s literally where the companies are at that they work in
I see Katseye as Kpop inspired.
2:46 just to clarify I meant episode 2 ☠️ Martín was originally supposed to work on scenes from 5 episodes, but stopped working on the series after Episode 2 after seeing how it was going.
Thank you, very informative!
The problem is the tourists all in the same location like Shibuya crossing or Kyoto and it not only annoys the locals, it disrupts the lives of locals trying to commute. It's just a regular crossing in front a busy train station for crying out loud. Nobody in Japan ever cared for it. Stop taking selfies like you're some kind of "ONOBORI-san."
Japan is simply not well equipped for tourism if it finds itself in difficulty with 30 million visitors a year. They have probably started experimenting with tourism recently and don't yet know how to deal with it, 30 million a year in a country of 120 million people is not a lot, as you say France, Spain and Italy have higher numbers (but they have been used to it for decades and decades).
Countries who are actually experiencing an overtourism crisis: France Spain Italy Turkey Countries who complain they are experiencing an overtourism crisis when they actually aren't: Japan
Exactly! There are a lot of countries now that don't need a tourist visa to go to Japan and still the tourists from those countries didn't increase 😂
A little correction. The lack of garbage disposal containers in public places and bringing your trash home with you are not Japanese cultural norms. There used to be garbage disposal containers everywhere. However, a rash of terrorism incidents involving garbage disposal containers in the mid 90s resulted in the removal of most of them and the concept of bringing home your trash was born. However, nobody has ever liked it and with the influx of tourists now, garbage disposal containers in public places are happily reappearing again.
When the yen was strong, the US had more japanese tourists. People want to see new things on the cheap.
Japans economy is terrible rn, no such thing as overtourism.
*how* it's terrible is important and tourism doesn't immediately fix things.
@@neutral139 of course it doesn't by itself but considering how bad the economy is Japan can't afford to be picky. They simply should have some changes to adapt to the demand, then it'll be really helpful.
And it's going downhill, soon even India will surpass Japan.
Oh no im going in literally 3 days haha. I promise to be good.
@@emeraldb1690 hahaha as long as you’re respectful it’s nothing to be stressed out about! have a fun and safe trip 💓
@@freshfaithed wdym i’m british of course everyone speaks english 😸
Sorry guys correction at 3:51 I meant to say 35 million! That’s the projected number of inbound tourists by the end of this year, which would a record number.
PD Bang’s “selling” katseye as Kpop when all their songs r in English ..he’s using K-pop’s new popularity to push his group.. not a fan
He never tried to sell them as Kpop 🙄, did you even watch the documentary at all, they clearly stated they are not Kpop
La Lisa is no longer Kpop either… she should not receive music awards in the Kpop category…she takes away from true Kpop groups
As an Americian & BTS army ..I don’t think PD Bang has Kpop best interest in Mind..he is ruining Kpop to the point of EXTINCTION. He just wants the money
Oh shut up, they are not Kpop get over it
I’m Japanese-Korean (Korean growing up in Japan), I live in the Shinagawa city, and it’s hilarious there is lots of foreigner everytimes I go to the train station, from Spring to Winter there is overcrowd amount of foreigners (summer is like as if half of the people in the city are foreigners).
Gosh I’ve only been to Japan in the summer once a very long time ago, but I can’t imagine what it’s like to live amongst that level of crowding 😭 I was already overstimulated by the amount of people around in the wintertime
my flights on sale in the UK were £600 booking over 6 months in advance (so around ¥117,000) which is frankly insane prices. Then combined with the weak Yen as a whole it makes it so much more possible to travel. That being said, as someone who adores Japanese culture and how respectful its people are to their history and their environment now, I wish more tourists would be as respectful to Japan and its people when travelling. The rubbish thing is such a pet peeve to me, as I'd assume these tourists are staying somewhere, so keep it in your bag and dispose of it at the hotel etc. at the end of the day. Also, this is the first time I felt like having to state "いいえ、私はイギリス人です" (No, I'm English), so I think there is a lot of anti-American tourism going on that is being driven by social media.
right I think it’s wonderful that more people are being exposed to Japanese culture and customs, but at what cost 😩 I think the individualist vs. collectivist culture difference also makes for particular friction with some Western tourists as well (although of course not all visitors are disrespectful)
Yes, yes we are. Weak yen and shitty social video coverage. Low quality people are now coming through.
tourist overflow is like drinking salt water. you drink to get even thirstier. it's a loop that feeds itself. it's a curse that makes the lives of locals miserable. mediterranean/balkan friends will understand what I'm saying. Let me give an example. I'm from turkey. Right now in Antalya (mediterranean city) there is a strong russian/ukrainian diaspora going on. They own businesses, they have their tourism networks, they have their properties and large capital. Locals have to move out because the area has gotten ridiculously expensive. It's a clear example of what tourism has potential for. Locals are normal regular humans but these blondes bring expensive luxury stuff where they go so local people are at misery.
Basically, I agree with your consideration. I love Japan. So I don't want their culture to be destroyed by tourists. The number of trash cans should maintain the status quo. I think it should be regulated by law like in Singapore so that some Japan and tourists who cannot follow the rules will also follow them.
It’s really not that hard to understand. Yall are making it hard to understand.
