For me, I think the Collen Ballinger situation was unique in making that binge for content happen more. This was one of the first times I was actively searching for the same sort of reaction content from as many sources as possible, mainly because that video was so wild I think it altered my brain and I had to see other people's thoughts on this woman setting her career on fire via ukulele in order to really process it.
Totally agree. I don't have many friends who have been watching UA-cam for as long as I have. I had no-one to talk to about the allegations and when she posted the most cringe, tone-deaf response, naturally I wanted to experience the insanity with other people.
I just wanted to see other people's reactions to feel validated 😂
The situation is also unique in that Ballinger spent years playing this obnoxious, grossly sexual character and received so much praise and adoration for it, but then once her core fanbase finally got old enough to properly understand the devious sexual implications behind most of Miranda's "humor", they all (rightfully) felt disgusted and wanted to hold her accountable.
Still, I can't help but feel it's a little like arresting Brian Cranston for cooking meth on TV. Sure, Breaking Bad never did a live tour but the stuff she did on that stage (as horrific as it was) was expected by everyone in attendance. Hell, the girl on TikTok said she went there HOPING to get called on stage to participate in a skit! THAT'S the really creepy part. Because I honestly don't think she's a pedo; just a hack comedian. Still, why was Miranda Sings EVER a thing?
my exact process. it was fucking baffling I needed to see what everyone else thought about that garbage
Yeah I think for me it was The Slap, same deal I just needed to be in the room with as many people as possible to all point and laugh
100% agree!
it's the uniquely bizarre and almost historic moment of what she did, we want to see our parasocial faves losing their mind over it as much as we did, its like going around all your friends houses wanting to see their reaction
I never thought of it like this but this is exactly the reason
Yessss it felt like... Like when the power goes out and everyone just comes and sits on their lawns lol
@@mightymeatymechTo hear their neighbor rant about the one neighborhood lady who is _that_ bad
100% 🤣
yes exactly
as a commentary binger, i like the vibes a lot, it’s kind of like a podcast in a way, but also (especially with repeated topics) i like seeing everyone’s point of view. the way nick sees the ballinger situation is different from film cooper is different from noah. i like seeing everyone’s takes and everyone’s different styles of creating
Is film cooper that guy that started the “he looks like Marsha p Johnson” meme?
exactly
@@grapesodeypop i have no idea LMFAO i don’t think so??
I agree with the fact that they are somewhat different styles, but I wouldn’t exactly say their tales are really all that different lol.
@@grapesodeypop yes he is lmfaoooo
Having so many creators cover the same topic and having similar takes on it, helps me pretend I'm actually watching different things instead of hyperfocusing on 1 video over and over again. Then it's almost like I never had a problem and all's fine ❤
Just like me fr
For real (fr) also I'm giving engagement to the creators I like so at least they're winning 😂
wait, I never thought of it like that, but same 😭
Me but with the Hassan Abi Industrial Complez
I trust these UA-camrs to not have absolutely awful hateful takes so I’m willing to watch repetitive content to have something playing while I clean
As long as you stay skeptical, it is a great way at making cleaning less insufferable. 😂
It doesn't sound like you're being very skeptical
Yh same here, it’s just entertainment. Idk why I should be critical of every pice of media I consume, paying attention and analyzing it. I don’t need to have an opinion on some youtuber everyone is reacting to, idc, I just like the ppl I’m subbed to
My "Having something playing" youtube is mostly stuff I've watched before. Like a comfy old jumper. I think I only watched Noah and Hasan talk about this, even though it was all over my feed.
@@woolzemhow does "I trust they won't be bigoted" get interpreted as "I'm not skeptical"? Self reporting are you?
This ukulele apology situation has been the rare case for me where i actively go and watch a whole bunch of different reaction videos even from people I'd never heard of before. It's like the youtube version of having something so insane happen to you that it's all you can talk about for the entire day. It's validating to see other people be as baffled and shocked as you are.
That's the merit of reaction videos as opposed to video essays, that you get to see someone process events in real time. So it works well for things that are shocking or otherwise emotionally affecting, while video essays are better for making a cohesive argument. I don't want to say one is better than the other - they serve different purposes - but since reaction videos have a lower baseline for effort put in they're also more likely to be misused.
Same. Usually I'll only watch a couple vidoes about one topic but it was something about the ukulele "apology" that made me actively seek out every video reacting to it.
Thanks for putting it into words,
Tbh I did this with the ned fulmer try guys situation too (not that these situations are necessarily comparable though both do involve varying levels of abuse of power coming to light). Sometimes you see something on your tl so batshit your brain goes “other people are seeing this right?” the urge to hear multiple people go wow that’s fucked while you nod your head and go yeah that’s fucked
I also feel like video essays are for ME more educational and informative, where with commentary I probably already know vaguely about the subject or I’m being clued in on something quirky or wild happening in the world by a funny, friendly UA-camr.
It's like when a messy car accident happens in front of your house and everyone is pulled outside to gawk and you start talking to neighbors you almost never interact with. It's just so weird and upsetting to be a bystander in a horrific situation that you need to survey your feelings with as many different people as possible to try and get your head around the situation.
I love the commentary community regardless of the repetition or overlap bc no matter what, each personality has their own input and their own comedic and creative approach. As an introvert w few friends nearby, watching them all feels similar to having multiple friends that I can ask about the same absurd internet nonsense.
I relate to this a lot.
literally same
SAME!
It’s partially that it’s an insane situation that I can’t look away from - but also partially that I like the creators and their personalities and just like listening to y’all talk and observing what direction you take the same topics in
honestly same tbh! my reasonings behind watching them all mainly came from being subscribed to all those creators and being very bored the day the videos all came out. but part of the reason why i watched all of them was how despite everyone having the same census view, each person had some little tiny take that was different, like a different perspective. gabi belle pointed out the fact that colleen had a filter on, and hasanabi reminded made me realize that there needs to be guidelines put in place to prevent the kind of relationships she was in from occurring for example
Someone must hold Mia Cole accountable for holding Noah Samsen accountable for holding Colleen Ballinger accountable.
A centipede of accountability. An accountability centipede. An accountipede. A human accountipede.
The accountability to accountability pipeline.
Top tier comment
God tier
By god if this isn’t a perfect comment I don’t know what is
It's perfect
It truly is perfect.
yea i kind of just enjoy the different perspectives! having multiple people talk about how bat shit crazy it is is very validating. its the sense of community in everyone's collective horror.
The year 2023. NPCs run the youtube algorithm , all too scared to get demonitized or even worse say something to step out the norm and get acussed of being alt right.
This is what happens when you bow to cancel culture.
@@armondtanz cancel culture isn't real. Like your intelligence
Yeah different perspectives is good and when it all comes in in real time it's actually pretty easy to get.
i was saying this to my partner the other day. colleen wants to make it seem like there's this massive brainless dogpile on her for "fun," but personally speaking as someone who was similarly mistreated as a child, I very much feel a sense of community in this. i feel supported and uplifted by the number of people coming out to say "this is wrong," to me there is no cruelty or vindictiveness here, only people speaking up for what's right
Pretty much, its nice having validation when the world is all crazy.
At least people like gabi and noah are pretty solid. I know i wont here some nazi or some magical religious shit when i watch them. I know i wont see racism, sexism, nor ablelism. And i dont gotta watch science denile.
So heck id rather take 20 leftist commentary youtubers talking about reality vs andrew tate or sum even if they are all talking about the same topic
As a disabled shut in, I watch pretty much all the stuff because it helps with the feelings of isolation that can accompany such an existence.
People kind of stopped coming around because I'm not 'fun'... I can't go out, can't drink because of my conditions and meds - so apparently I just "bring the vibe down" 🤷. I like the laid-back chatty style of commentary channels as a result, in spite of being an adult.
I watch some video essays too, as well as documentaries, and stuff that's more news (tho still Left). People are complex, just because they watch commentary channels doesn't mean that's all they watch. I also watch sci-fi and fantasy stuff.
🖖
Can I co-sign as another disabled shut-in? Bc same. I'm sorry you're going through the same thing. Lack of pain meds has absolutely decimated my life. Can't even shower on my own anymore. UA-cam and fantasy novels are keeping me alive at this point.
That "in spite of being an adult" stings a little. I don't think enjoying commentary videos is a sign of immaturity, I think it's just human. I think it's natural to want to explore other people's opinions about something, even if you can't directly interact with it. You should do your best to form your own, of course, but people historically have been bouncing ideas and opinions off of each other since time in memorium. Without it we wouldn't have a society. Especially when you're isolated, it can be a real solace to know other people think about the things you do and how different and similar those thoughts are. I speak from experience, commentary channels have kept the light lit that reminds me I'm a person with thoughts and opinions that also matter.
Haha loser 😂
I can't believe in the span of like a month, both Illuminaughtii and Colleen Ballinger managed to produce some of the most deranged apologies on the platform (albeit in different ways), while iDubbbz delivered a near masterclass in how an apology should ideally be done.
I completely forgot about illuminaughtii lolll. Didn't really miss her though, I stopped actually consuming her videos and just put it on as background noise in the past year though as they felt rant-y, and just her nitpicking and picking low hanging fruit.
Also, Kwite showed how to actually debunk allegations properly which doesn’t involve playing a ukulele and singing about how you’re not a groomer.
@@wolfsims Unfortunatly that meant he couldn’t return to UA-cam anymore *because* he had to debunk it with a face reveal
Lol master class. 🤡
😭
I literally watched 3 of these in a row (greenisnotnick, then gabi belle, then Noah samsen) the morning they dropped and while I started going mad hearing Colleen’s lyrics over and over I genuinely enjoyed each video differently. I did notice the identical thumbnails and cracked up but this is one of the few times where all of you were talking about the exact same topic in real time so it made sense that it happened that way.
same
I had to put another song on repeat after watching all the videos cause it was stuck in my head 😭💀
Yes. Woke up and watched Jake's stream, then watched nicks, then Noah's, then hasan
HOW is a 6 day content streak even possible, you are truly the commentary youtube channel
his comments be ary as af rn
@@limeyell0w945what does Ary mean
@@bear9295 I split commentary into 2 words
@@limeyell0w945 thank you, I feel dumb lol
Most people in the developing world work like 10 hours a day in a factory or farm and you're suprised how some random white guy is able to speak 10 minutes into a camera more than once a week?
The reason I watch a lot of repetitive videos is for a few reasons:
1. I like listening to people I'm subscribed to
2. I use videos as background noise and sometimes miss facts, so I don't mind hearing about the same content with a new perspective
3. When something really big happens, I think it's interesting to see everyone's reactions
As a crafty person background noise really helps when I am working on long projects so that’s the min reason I watch commentary- so I can get caught up on what weird things are going down and to keep my mind entertained
This is a very normal human thing, I think.
When we call our friends, don’t we tend to talk about the same topics over and over with all those different people?
Reminds me of when my grandmother described Twitter as “just a bunch of people sharing pictures of their dinner”, without noticing how much time she’d spend talking about meals in irl conversation.
wow what twitter is your grandma on, i gotta get to that version
also yes...me and my college friends will shittalk for hours about who was so annoying when we were students
I think the problem is there was a hope at one time that social media would be a democratizing force. Instead it'sjust quickly become a race to the bottom. It's not just commentary channels: tech channels, gaming channels,news channels All prioritize the algorithm over any aesthetic value, informational content, nuance discussion.
But because of the algorithm it's a self-reinforcing cycle. It's almost impossible to find in-depth content if you don't know what you're looking for already
So glad I decided not to sleep tonight
real its the mr beast guy
Me too… but not really
was thinking the same thing when i saw this pop up 😂
My same thoughts lol
same
I like watching different people talk about things in their own ways
Sure, the opinions and topics may be the same, but as Noah says, the vibes are what I’m here for
I can GUARANTEE you that if that Twitter post showcased 4 conservatives reacting the same way to the same video, you'd all be full of "yea, you can't expect originality from them" or "they only recycle the talking points given to them by FOX NEWS!"
Not saying I'm a conservative, but damn the hipocrisy here is so clear, it's daunting.
I (and maybe others) are so lonely and removed from a sense of community that when something like this happens, it feels a tiny bit like I’m sharing an experience with a group of people who think the same things I do. I don’t feel alienated for awhile.
I'm mostly here for the vibes. I put these kinds of vids on while I do chores. They're fairly calm and usually educational, so its a nice sound to passively listen to sometimes over more long-form video essays or scrolling endlessly through short-form content.
I watched you, Gabi, Ludwig, Hasan, Kat Blaque and Anthony Fantano all talk about the apology lol. Not because I was expecting unique takes from you all but because you all have different styles of comedy/content creation that I enjoy and that's what I watch for. Usually I'd probably pick one or two and skip the others but the colleen thing is so insane that I my greedy lil mind needed moooooore lmao
I’m actively waiting to watch anymore videos until one of my favorite creators post their video on it
Well also I think just because there are multiple commentary UA-camrs, doesn’t mean they’re just the exact same person with the same experiences and personality? Yes multiple people can talk about the same things, have the same format or even address the same talking points but it doesn’t mean you’re watching a carbon copy of the same *person.* I’d say more often than not, audiences are coming for the person and not just the commentary - if they don’t enjoy the person they likely wouldn’t watch their commentary no matter what it’s on. If you’re on commentary UA-cam for the most profound takes and revelations rather than a relatable laugh with a fun, likable UA-camr…that’s kind of on you.
Also. Take I am going to be sad if it’s hot to people. Multiple sources condemning child grooming being spun as purely vulturey is just so fucking annoying to me especially in a culture that didn’t believe Adam for 3 years when he came forward with an hour of hard evidence _as a minor._
Yeah, some people are covering this and they don’t care about victims of grooming. Consult keemstar and the girl he’s with young enough to be his child. Consult the people defending Colleen who will have an easier time doing so if her crimes are kept on the dl and not spoken of by many people.
I get the unpleasant true crime aspect. But a lot of these crimes against children by youtube adults aren’t being covered properly or taken seriously in mainstream media without the community having to self police first.
Having multiple people back you up and confirm your story, especially as a DARVO survivor, is fucking everything. This is important for the victims and survivors of Colleen and her family, Kory, and Kodee, and that’s who I think of first when I see these videos. I hope watching other adults tear these creeps apart over and over is able to help the victims who were put through so much fucking worse by these creators, that they’re able to laugh, that they’re able to see their stories told accurately and that other people are in fact disgusted and enraged by the abuse they’ve had to experience.
Other people. Who can see the DARVO. When you on the inside couldn’t for SO LONG. And who confirm that not only are you not crazy, but the abuse *cannot* be your fault, and you never did anything to deserve it, ever, is incredibly valuable.
Hearing anyone from the friends who helped me flee my family’s house to strangers on /askReddit be upset when I described things I never considered abnormal in a family is validating.
It’s validating in a way that just one or two people, no matter how deeply I love them, can’t provide in the same way as seeing hundreds, thousands, of people confirm your experiences as DARVO abuse without ever having met you, because their stories are identical to yours.
I became aware I had survived and still deal with DARVO abuse because of being able to compare notes with other victims and with people who unpack this shit for a living. I cannot stress enough how much comparing notes can save you.
This
I binge content all the time. Between bouts of depression and sporadically bursts of energy I end up feeling "behind" on what's going on whether it's online or offline. Commentary videos help me feel like I have a way to catch up.
I watch a lot of these because i follow the personalities that cover them and like their nuance and atmosphere. Something as absurd as this has a lot of pull to it and it feels fun to watch a lot of videos to learn more. Its also a neat way to conpare your favorites because you see who hits what points
This whole colleen situation is such a throwback to the UA-cam of like 8 years ago with everyone needing to throw in their two cents on someone's L. Very nostalgic, I like it
her cringe was powerful enough to bring us all together
@@funkychicken4509 It truly was crazy lol. Her cringe meter, her not self aware meter, and her evil meter were at max levels!
I definitely agree with having this content be more of a background thing in our daily lives as it does fill the void of trying to sit in awkward silence 😂 it’s pretty fucked up though to think that we are uncomfortable with just being alone with our own thoughts.
Other than that it’s just cool to hear people who believe in the same things talk about it and get different perspectives from different creators.
i wondered if it was an adhd fixation thing for me because i did this with the titan news broadcasts too, just flipping between clips from all national networks and youtube engineers, but it really probably is just echoing our own thoughts and having someone there to say what we're thinking for us! lol
@@birdie8006 I think its probably both tbh. I’m gonna guess we are just brain broken like Hasan says 😂 we just watch content like crazy because of our adhd but it also makes us feel validated in our thoughts. For example my wife does not consume content like I do which is probably what most ‘“normal” people do. Either way it’s what we enjoy so whatever!
I think it's kind of a comforting repetition, it's something steady to go back to and easy to put on in the background; I usually binge this type of content while I'm making jewelry or art. It's something that doesn't require your eyes to be glued to the screen or you to pay 100% attention to (which I'm incapable of anyway) while at the same time you still feel like you learned something at the end.
I’ve found that different commentary UA-camrs cover different parts of the content they’re talking about. I’ve seen Colleen’s full video like 3 times just by piecing it together from commentary videos. I also just like hearing different opinions because the channels I’m subscribed to usually have a different style/approach
i’m subscribed to all of these channels and just wanted to hear what each of you had to say because i find everyone’s personality entertaining in their own way. plus this situation is so bizarre and i don’t know many people in my life who are following it like i’ve been so it’s cool to see other people talking about it.
This is exactly it for me. even if the conclusion that each commentator comes to is relatively the same, their unique personalities lead them to deliver their conclusions in different ways which I enjoy. it really is the vibes sometimes
Besides the commentary being different between channels, I think a different styles and jokes and feel of each channel makes it interesting. I wanna see Noah react to stuff in his own way, using his editing and his charisma. Others will want other things from other channels. Even if the commentary WERE the same, the videos would almost certainly still be unique.
i love watching all u guys diff takes on the same topics! all of u guys align w me morally and hearing multiple perspectives on the same thing while each person is entertaining in their own way is great
"here for the vibes" is exactly why I'll watch multiple ones.
plus mass-covered things makes it easier to find new people to watch.
I can take a thing I'm moderately familiar with and see how someone covers/reacts to it and know if they're my kinda human.
i’ve found several of my favorite creators exactly because i clicked a video on a topic that i’d also seen from a creator i already watched
“You’re here to put us on your phone while you do your laundry.”
I am dead. Noah with the headshot. 100% accurate.
As someone who watched all these videos and also film cooper and hasan….I enjoyed all of them immensely. I feel like I was a part of history and I’m happy to have been here for it.
I really appreciated this video. I always find it really great to hear about the algorithmic process behind the work of creators such as yourself, just because it brings us back to reality and the fact that you're struggling and juggling things just as much as we are as viewers.
I’m subscribed to all these youtubers and I watch almost every video y’all put out. I guess I just watch cuz I love the drama and that group of select commentary UA-camrs usually have some pretty good takes or at least opinions that I agree with. It’s fascinating to examine these small, isolated incidents/trends/etc. and understand how it relates to society (we live in a society)
My entire subscription list was just Colleen Ballenger commentary videos and I do not care at all, I watched all of them 😂😂😂
Edit: oh wow he actually mentioned it lol, well yeah I am here for the vibes. And every youtuber has a different style of commentary, at least that's how I feel watching them. Each has a different vibe, different style and sometimes different length (10 minutes vs 30 minutes e.g.). And they're good background noise lol
I’m really happy you made this video. I’ve been trying to articulate why commentary UA-cam hasn’t felt as fulfilling for me as it used to for a while now. For me, commentary UA-cam still holds significance to me as my gateway into video essays and deep dives and other things I really have grown to enjoy. I think being exposed to this type of content and space for open dialogue has made me a more compassionate and socially conscious person. I think that’s maybe why, even after I’ve kind of “phased out” of my peak of watching it, I still come back to these same creators.
Like most of the internet I think I developed a kind of morbid fascination with the garbage fire that is the Colleen Ballinger apology video- it feels like if you aren’t talking about it or consuming content about it there’s no way it is real. I watched all of those commentary videos, and saw this Twitter interaction play out in real time. I think it’s nice to have spaces where we can all experience the absurdity of the internet together even if it can at times become formulaic.
Well said
Because they all fall into a strict top down supression.
You cant speak out , you cant like or think above and beyond more than what you are allowed.
You nailed it. I like to think of commentary as a network TV show to video essays HBO Max TV Series. They’re both the same thing really, one just takes more energy to both consume and create over the other- and honestly what I watch every day is dependent on how much energy I have to consume that content.
lmao i’m here for the vibes. LITERALLY doing laundry but you’re speaking directly to me right now. i watched so many reactions, just because i’m subscribed so many creators & that’s just the content that got posted for a day or two 🤷🏼♀️
I've been wondering about all the same stuff, glad you brought it up. This channel is one I will definitely watch in the sea of thumbnails that all look the same
listen, by the end of the day coleen dropped “toxic gossip train” i watched so many videos talking about it i feel like its engrained into my mind forever
If I am subscribed to people I will watch EVERYONE'S perspective on the same topic, I literally DO NOT care, because as you pointed out I'm here for the vibes. If I'm subscribed I'm watching whatever gets put out. As a consequence of this type of behaviour, Colleen's insane song got stuck in my head. I also work overnight where I have basically nothing to do most of the time so I have more time to watch content than most people.
same!!!!!
Yeah except most perspectives are literally exactly the same
Here for the vibes! I’m subscribed to all 4 of y’all and I love finding UA-camrs that make me feel at home to play while I multitask. And I know by now from being a long time viewer of commentary, y’all each have your own unique nuanced opinions, and I’m invested in each.
I think part of the mass consuming/mass binge-watching of youtube videos is also just... parasocial. Like a lot of it for me is that I need background noise to do anything, and TV feels so rehearsed (bc it is obviously) but a youtube video (especially if its a commentary creator I enjoy) can start to feel like a facetime call or like an infodump session which I also enjoy. Then when I watch multiple videos on the same topic from different people, it almost feels like a groupcall or like I'm hanging out in a group and I just get to sit back and listen to everyone's opinions and agree or disagree in a safe way, AND I don't feel pressured to have the same level of input or passion on the topic if I don't feel like it because I know its just a video, so ultimately I can just click away.
I watched multiple videos on the topic including yours. The reason I watched a bunch of different creators vids on the exact same topic is a combination of:
1) being subscribed and getting notifications in my feed.
2) wanting to hear/see their individual take because I like each creator different reasons and all of them have unique perspectives/their own sense of humor.
ANOTHER VIDEO THIS WEEK!!? You’re simply blessing us at this point.
As someone that has also watched all the videos with shown thumbnails, I can safely state that I watched all of them because of the creators! I like them all individually and watch all of their videos as they come out 😀
Right, but i think it’s just that the original video is batshit crazy!!
I am one of these consumers you are describing. And honestly, when a wild thing like an ukulele apology happens, I want the different takes. Then after going through a couple I want more information. Then Swoop has a doc and I am satisfied (waiting for her part 2).
Basically I'm an addict and YT never fills me up.
tbh as a commentary consumer, i see trending topic and then i come to see what my fav personalities have to say about it. im looking for diffrent perspectives and so on. its easy to listen too and I'm able to listen to it while i complete art commissions. i like when multiple people cover the same thing so i can see what everyone has to say or bring to the table.
I watch them because 1. its slop I can throw on in the background 2. I am interested in the creators take and enjoy hearing their opinion and unique commentary and comedy.
i hope you are doing okay Noah. dont surround with work alone. take some time for yourself. we will be waiting
Lots of people work everyday. It's always impressive but he'll definitely be ok lol
@@thomaspollack7451 I mean he has been open with his mental struggles and said that something he justs dives into work. I'm just worried since I've seen this kind of behavior in ppl close to me aswell
I love watching all my favorite commentary folks give their different takes ✨ even if I had to watch that apology a bunch, it’s different when a familiar face pops in with a funny joke or similar reaction to what I’m having
i watchd all four of you and ur takes, not just because i wanted to know more about the situation but because i enjoy each of ur personas or youtube personalties, so even if the takes were similar it felt like getting a different spin on it due to ur different ways of addressing it
I personally loved hearing everyone’s takes on the situation. I live alone and work from home as a graphic designer and almost always have a commentary video on in the background bc it helps me feel less lonely and crazy in my apartment lmao. As u can imagine I go through a lot of content and don’t mind the repetition. Thanks for all the new posts Noah! Hope all is well!
Hey Noah.
Just wanted you to know that I really appreciate your content, bcs even if I may not agree with you a 100% of the time, I really do appreciate how you put in the effort to point out arguments for both sides, no matter who you're arguing against.
While Coleen' """apology""" was nothing short of a shitshow that does deserve to be ridiculed, you were the only one out of all commentaries to point out her side, or how she had done a more serious apology before and how her perception might be skewed due to it.
yes
True Noah easily made the most effort to be charitable of all the vids I saw on the topic
These thank you comments are trash 🗑️. It doesn't matter what you hitch to it but Christ STOP. 🛑✋🙏
@@user-ft5vp3bi4vI literally didn’t know about the other apology until he mentioned it, and it allowed me a little more perspective on what she was saying. It was sehr confusing before haha. Very slay very cool
@@user-account-not-found I disagree. Noah is the first creator I ever wrote this to, bcs I specifically appreciate this aspect of his videos. And considering he was talking about how commentary channels copy each other, I felt like pointing out what makes him special to me is appropriate.
7:01 for introverts it's like discussing/listening about the delusional apology from various ppl in peace without being brought up in the discussion by 'why r u so quiet', etc.
+ escaping full cringe experience of watching the real thing
I have chosen to watch almost a dozen different UA-camrs videos on the Colleen situation and it’s partially because I want to hear their varying opinions/how creators life experiences/identities have shaped their reaction to it. This happens to me a lot and I kinda like seeing the stuff that multiple creators pick up on vs. more niche topics that only 1 or 2 will cover.
In regards to the question of why people watch multiple videos on the same topic. For me at least, it’s usually because I really find the topic interesting, and my interest isn’t satiated by one video. So having new people talk about stuff with different perspectives is more content I can indulge in.
I'm really glad you brought this up. It's exactly what I was thinking with so many UA-camrs commenting on the same nobody. Yes, it was messed up, and then she made a song about it. But this is weird, too, for so many channels to comment on it.
I don't think it is weird.
If something is popular people want to know why...and there is nothing wrong with those people hearing about that from creators they are already familar with.
It is almost an obligation for a lot of creators to weigh in with their perspective.
I don't think that is weird for a creator to serve up fan service.
So put yourself in the creators shoes...some popular social thing is happening, your audience reaches out to you for your reaction and input.
That is a huge incentive beyond the algo to chime in on the subject.
People all too often think of algo driven content as a one way street when it is not.
There is a feedback mechanic there as well...social media algos want to stay relevant and they design their algos to amplify trends bc that is a safe bet.
So you can't blame just the social media platforms for it, as if user engagement and consumption metrics play no part.
If you really think it is weird in some toxic way the best thing you can do is not engauge.
Otherwise you are just feeding into the feedback loop.
Agreed. And acting like they don’t have almost the exact same take is disingenuous. Everyone is making fun of the ukulele song. Which was bad, but also, we don’t need to hear about how bad it was from every UA-camr.
@@memegazer telling people who have criticisms for UA-camrs who are making content to not engage is a deeply flawed proposition on its face.

Ok...I will bite...why is it deeply flawed?
And more to the point why would it be flawed for the content creator or the social media platform?
@@beckyeastham9426
"we don't need to hear about it from every youtuber"
Then don't.
If you think every take is the same then don't consume any other content once you feel like you are filled in on the topic.
That is on you if watch every vid about it.
And you also played a role in making the topic trending if you did that.
I watched two creators cover this particular topic.
Noah...and Philip defranco...even though more creators I am subbed to made vids about it.
I got caught up with social media news with phil but I was curious about noahs take so I watched his vid also.
But I didn't binge every vid about it, complaining about how everybody needs to stop talking about it...bc I know that fuels the feedback loop on a personalized algo level and on a trending level and I had already lost interest.
Also this follow up vid from Noah should appeal to you bc its not really about that topic as much as it is about him being vulnerable that he feels incentivised to chase trends....and is just being honest about that.
I watched all of them on the pic and i do that because while the main point is the same, the way they go about it is unique and interesting. And i also just genuinely enjoy the content they put out and want to support
I have inevitably subscribed to all of these creators as the UA-cam algorithm has slowly started showing me more content like it.
With that being said, I did see these on my feed originally, then went to my sub feed to watch them all individually. There were 4 or 5 that I watched total.
Regardless if they are clones or not to some, the views, jokes, phrasing, mannerisms, etc are all different.
I’m sure if we could - we would’ve preferred one video with all of these people throwing ideas back and forth. The scripts are nice, which is the only caveat.
okay but the Colleen stuff was so funny to me. So many people made a super fast video about it and I watched literally every single one. It was a truly glorious day.
I've watched a bunch of videos on this topic since it broke, including most of the ones whose thumbnails were pictured. I even watched Swoop's nearly 3 hour long vid (the first of 2 planned videos)! I'm just in shock at the depth of the bullshit in this situation. I appreciate hearing the different commentary everyone has to offer, & the fresh info they sometimes bring to light.
Man Noah idk I always watch when you upload and I think it’s because of all the people making similar content yours is consistently well researched and thought out while also being introspective. It takes massive cajones to upload a video this meta and to be so self-critical, know that we’re supporting you and want you to do what’s best for your health and artistic expression. I don’t see this channel as a dime a dozen commentary or essay channel, this is one of the good ones; I admire your gusto when talking about some topics that are really controversial (eg vaush and incels) and the humility and empathy you always bring to the table. That’s why I watch!
For me, I am exactly that category of people. I have watched multiple different people cover the same topics, because the commentary people I watch, I watch because I like their personality and so it doesn’t matter I already heard one retelling of what happened. It’s comforting and nice to hear them talk while I do something.
Personally, each creator has a different style of comedy and editing that adds a refreshing take. I don't really know how this is different than the "twitter meme of the week" phenomenon where jokes are just different versions of the same templates. I watch commentary channels mostly because I like stories and stories about real people are intriguing, especially when they're doing weird things. Even though a lot of the people I watch end up covering similar topics with the same/similar takes, they get there in unique and entertaining ways. I mean just with this situation, you approached your critiques calmly and even said the song wasn't bad independent of its content/context, but Nick absolutely did not like the song and reacted very dramatically with absolutes. Both might have presented the same core argument, maybe even repeating some rhetoric, but I would be hard-pressed to think these two videos were "clones" of one another or delivered the same viewing experience. End of the day it's nothing too deep, it fits into my day easier than absurdly long articles that break down a pop culture moment and it's entertaining to see different people's takes of goofballs online.
commentary fills the void of silence so I dont have to be alone with my thoughts
I love having these types of videos play while I’m doing something else like playing video games. Also the Coleen video helped me discover new commentary channels that I really like bc everyone is talking about it
I am subscribed to 3 out of 4, and I watched all 3 because I genuinely enjoy hearing all three individual opinions, unique senses of humor about a huge internet moment of my era. you’re right, I am absolutely here for the vibes, and I like these creators vibes! Thanks for your contribution, and don’t let the haters getcha down
It's like picking your favorite flavor of commentary
I swear I was just on this app noticing all the similarities between content creators, the yellow text the placements and what not and here you go uploading this 😭
NOAH I LOVE YOUR CONTENT DUDE! you say whats on my mind, I'm going through a very hard time in my life trying to express everything. But you say everything so authentically, well spoken, and genuinely in a way I want to emulate more. you make me comfortable and so do a lot of other commentary channels because a lot of the time they are understanding and provide the environment I need. and also just want see know the actual information you guys are usually educating me about.
As one of the people who has watched all of these videos (and several more on the situation), it was mainly because I'm subscribed to so many of y'all. I legitimately had at least 5 of these videos in my notifications within a few hours of Colleen's video being posted, so I binged them all and then continued to get recommendations for similar videos
ive been blessed for staying up until 3am
I had the same thought tbh. Gabi and your thumbnails were right next to each other and almost exactly the same lol
I'm a very big background noise guy due to the neurodivergent brain noodles, and content like yours gives me safe background noise that doesn't try to force itself into the front and also sometimes gives me something informative via a fresh perspective. I tune in and out of my active watching so to say, as I alternate between listening to music while I work, letting the video trickle on me while I focus, or actively watching again when smth caught my attention. Generally I also enjoy just talking about things for the sake of talking, or differently worded to hear the other person's personal perspective on a topic. I always feel that that gives me the most fulfilment out of a conversation, and commentary videos provide me with a multitude of people's perspectives on demand so to say. It feels like "information absorption", as if maybe I just like to absorb knowledge, any knowledge, as long as it doesn't make me uncomfortable of course.
'tism creature ✌️
i'm subscribed to most of your species, and i watched most of these over the span of the past two weeks as a way to fill the void of silence that follows me... and also i like the vibe !!
I watch em all because it's nice to see everyone's perspective on the same thing because it does slightly differ and I like hearing the different points on why. Also funny heehaws because I have an empty head
The master of content production delivers us more slop for the feast 🙏
It takes me two hours to get ready in the morning, I'm gonna vibe with my favorite commentary channels for the latest tea, since I don't have any drama in my real life, its fun to hear the whatever is going on by people I like on the internet. Vibes vibes vibes ✨️
i like all the different options tbh lmao like yes its all videos about the same person but you all have different personalities and humors that makes the topic seem refreshing each time
audience overlap networks. I love how careful and articulate you are with phrasing
I basically just keep content on when the intrusive thoughts are strong and I want to have someone else’s voice in my head while I do activities. Driving, gaming, chores, etc. can all be ruined by my depressive tendencies so having a UA-camr talking while I go is quite useful. My toddler son also finds commentary UA-cam fascinating to listen to on stroller walks, so that’s fun.
Thank god I'm not alone in my binge, I often watch different takes of the same situation while cooking. But I do subscribe to all these creators and seeing their individual hilarious takes is pretty entertaining. I sort of see it as a collective deep dive. I didn't even notice the thumbnails because the algorithm just bumps me to the next video without having to see them.
I watch a lot of commentary videos kind of on accident. I started watching just a few and then started getting recommended a ton more channels in my feed. I mainly have UA-cam on as background noise while doing other things so it’s nice to have different commentary channels talking about the same thing so that I can get the full story while half paying attention tbh
For me, I am usually there for the energy and the delivery !! It’s quite funny considering the topics tend to overlap, but I really do enjoy appreciating and watching videos that youtubers take time to make. It’s also just nice company to have when I need to take my mind off of stressful things! Funny enough, I didn’t really notice how similar the thumbnails were until I read that tweet. I usually look at the title before I click
I am subbed to 3 out of the 4 channels, and I feel like its partially because I want to support the creators I like and partially because I think that each one of you has a different observation or roast to the videos that change the perspective entirely. Watching Nick's video first was really entertaining because it was his live reaction, and seeing how many times he had to pause the video made me feel like I would do the same thing because watching cringe alone is rough. Gabi and your responses were more planned and thought out, and I wanted to see what jokes would be made. I think of it like junk TV a bit, there are people who can listen to the same people on podcasts ramble about the same topics daily, and I feel like this is a similar context. I just prefer videos that are edited and curated by creators, because its in a controlled environment.
I'm subscribed to all of you. You all have different perspectives on some points. I also enjoy each of yalls personality that yall display. Simple as that
"thumbnails are not content" is one of those lessons my brain like half refuses to learn. Clickability is something I do look for and try for on some level, but at the same time I do often catch myself making thumbs that I think "look good" but only outside the context of a thumb, things that are way too much effort for some reason. Like I get wrapped up in an idea that isn't actually clickable or whatever, or forget what I'm making is going to be seen as... a thumbnail, like barely bigger than 300x200 or whatever.
It's an odd bit of the job, alongside titles where my brain goes "ah make a cool serious title that sounds like an essay" and then I do and it's not "good" algo wise, so the title becomes like "Is [thing] good???" and then I relent and find some odd middle ground.
I genuinely like seeing how each person react, even if it's similar it's reassurance that this is literally mental.
I often doubt my opinion and feel that i might be out of touch, so it's nice to have my opinion and compare to educated opinions to my first and unresearched opinion.
Every video I’ve watched about this situation has given me new different information, I think it’s valuable to have multiple videos on a subject partly because I’ve learned different details from the different creators covering this
I watched a couple about that topic-
I just scroll through and add videos to my "watch next" list, then let it play in the background while I'm working /driving/whatever.
i watch all of the videos even when theyre on the same topic bc ik that every creator gives a different perspective on the subject.
i like it when there are interesting and educational topics in commentary videos, but i mainly go for the commentator themselves :)
I’m interested in the subtle differences between everyone’s takes on situations- people were highlighting different aspects of the colleen situation depending on their experiences or backgrounds
they all show up in my feed and its kind of my second focus while i work on my crafting hobbies to be honest. i like listening to people talk.
I just like hearing peoples opinions. Plus I get very anxious when it’s super quiet so it’s kinda soothing to have someone or something to listen to.
I guess for me, I like hearing people's takes and see if they say anything new or different. I dont always watch all the videos about the same topic all the way through. But its enjoyable to see everyone's opinions on drama or controversy...or like Colleen Ballinger, crimes.
As one of those weirdos that watched multiple reaction videos about this topic, and have for others in the past, I can say that it feels like having a conversation with someone that is similarly perpetually online and would know the same references as me. Besides that I use commentary videos as a tool to improve my own argumentation skills, expand my knowledge on certain terms, etc, it is very helpful to improve my debating skills as a non-native speaker
I watch a lot of commentary channels when I need to turn my brain off and rest but I'm also selective and like to rewatch to digest any points a creator's made so it leads to a lot of bingeing when I find a new creator. Since I'm always looking for a new creator to challenge my opinion and others I've heard but in this more (but still not entirely) practical space compared to theory, this kind of overlap is great! It means that I can learn about the situation, hear the creators I trust a bit more, and branch out to see if I'm interested in any of these other creators!
i just like listening to commentary youtubers talk. i’m definitely a commentary binger and i think i just like listening to different viewpoints and stuff. just getting to listen to people i like talk while i do something else is chill
good video and true noah. algo thumbnail = money money money
edit: also idk commentary is just people talking about stuff and i think it’s fun shrug . cooler than the news at least
keep leading the way brother love to see my people winning!
Every youtube channel is like a TV station. You can run conent 24/7, like reruns, if you wanted, release movies, announce events, have daily news, and nightly interviews...some youtubers even do the weather.
