I don't plan to do much more content about youtube drama unless this video gets a lot of support. Next week's video will be about someone pretty special...
@Lind Morn I would definitely be interested in looking further in the future
cant wait for it i just found your channel and we share very common interests it seems
I think everything that happened with etika pretty much shows how the creator is NOT solely to blame for the insanity that takes em over.
thx for the great vid
@@TheCursedJudge First, I like to know the exact definition of a "UA-camr" and of a "[UA-cam] creator". Second, does someone in simply having a UA-cam account automatically make them a UA-camr or UA-cam creator, even if they have no videos uploaded to their UA-cam Channel but *_do_* post comments in Comments sections of other UA-camrs' UA-cam videos???
The sanity in the unsane society and still wouldn't of found you if I didn't watch, some ordinary gamer 🙂✋
The fact that you used Nikocado Avocado's violin performance as outro is simply a cherry on top of a well crafted video. Glad i found your channel
We need a sequel to this vid just taking about examples of what he is talking about in more detail
Yes
He is a nice Violinist. Shame what happened to him
@@SunIsLost fr…that’d be crazy if he turned his life around some how
Oh shit what a great and clever video. This kind of fame is such a weird thing. Relationships gets distorted, the reputation system prediliges appearence over substance and people turn into characters and start believing in it until they don't know who they are anymore. Nothing wrong on chasing fame and approval with skills and content, but things can easily go wrong in the law of big numbers
a perfect example of losing yourself in a character until you can't go back is nikocado
Banger comment.
Eloquently put.
Though, I don't know if the reference to the Law of Big Numbers is a correct use case of it. But for that I would have to search up what it is properly, and I don't think I'll be ding that right now. Still gets your point across though.
This video made my brain explode. Holy shit.
Putting the Nikocado Avacado violin performance at the end was so freaking _perfect._ I don't know how to describe it.
This is one of the single best video essays about UA-cam I have ever seen. I'm putting this right up there with Super Eyepatch Wolf's video "Influencer Courses are Garbage: The Dark Side of Content Creation".
Thank you, I kinda forgot that I made this video honestly.
Oh man that video gave me a reality check, those youtube and internet insights can really mess with you.
Didn't expect to see my life flash before my eyes because of a UA-cam video lol
But this is something I went through back when I was just 14, gained sudden fame because of a Baldi video, got extremely happy about it and then lost most of it
When I was 17 it was bad enough for me to "go insane" and just do the worst things of my life that would get me into tons of controversies
Back then I'd try getting any attention in just the dumbest ways, like by publishing a vent game
Only last year I started getting better, but now even tho I'm 19, have a good amount of customers and even get to work on an unofficial sequel to my favorite game I still feel that loss and emptiness on a daily basis
It's seriously unbearable sometimes and tends to get me into super jealous states out of nowhere
Sharing this here because I guess hearing about someone's personal experience fits the video
I made this video a couple months before these exact things I analyzed started happening to me. I've actually just in the past couple of days pulled myself out of the worst state of anxiety I have ever been in.
@@TheCursedJudge Yeah, Youtubing is extremely demanding... sorry it got to you too
I genuinely hope you overcome it tho
Thank you, I wish you the best as well
Ever since I subbed which was around 2 months ago, I've always read your amount of subscribers as 340k. Now that I've realized what it actually is I really appreciate such great content from someone with under 100k subs. I feel really stupid, but the fact I was fooled for so long should tell you how good your content really feels, from a viewer.
edit: I just used 340k as multiplying your current subs by 10 since that's how I've been seeing it
That's very nice to hear. If I make videos like someone of that size, I know I'll get there eventually. Have a good day my guy
Oh shit, I've been doing the same thing lol.
This video really reminded me of what a wild time 2018 UA-cam was holy shit
I think people who get super famous need to get in the habit of setting aside that money for mental health services, if they haven't already. I'm talking intensive, no ones brain is designed for that level of attention and work. Optimally this would be for everyone, but ya know, US health system is utter dogshit atm; hopefully we see change in the future.
At the same time, those YTers who get famous from basically having unchecked mental health probably won't do as well if they get proper help, so they probably don't wanna. It's super sad to think about, cause that means 1. Poor health and bad behavior can net a lot of money, 2. People allow them to stay in that shitty state for their own entertainment. Pretty fucked up!!
Nah that's good we need more Jake Pauls tbh
That ending with that lovely young man on violin is just beautiful, I wonder what he's up to now..
Hopefully, He's not eating himself an early grave or anything.
Eating himself to death.
Oh you sweet summer child.....
Look up Nicoado Avocado
You are so underrated, your content is worth much more views
That explanation for happiness that's entirely based on your videos performance, especially after a "big success" was way too accurate.
You did this so well.. and I agree with all your points. I'm so sad I never discovered you, when your content has been so beautiful for years. I could listen to you talk about anything.
I love your pattern of thinking. Calming voice and deep insights are very pleasant to hear. Keep it up friend.
Your the perfect balance of content and personnality, i love your channel and so you, that's sounds weird but hey you're awesome dude keep up !
I can't believe you have only under 100k subs. I rarely comment, but this was insightful and empathetic. Keep it up!
Thanks
Just found your channel and I’m a big fan, keep up the good work 👍🏽
Oh hell yea, I was running low on my Cursed Judge content. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Ayo, what the grunt doin.
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER!
Very insightful video Judge. Enjoyed it a lot. Hope UA-cam doesn't drive you mad :)
Holy shit, didn't knew you have ASD. I also have asperger syndrome and sometimes it's so hard for me to even do something because I my body just don't wanna do it. Keep up bro ❤ I know how hard it can be sometimes.
Great video! Can't wait to see more content from you.
This video feels like the trailer for a 1h30min long video essay
This might be a bit unrelated but i relate a lot to your writing, we both have aspergers but it felt really familiar hearing you speak. Not just in this video, but also your other gaming videos like "lonely video games" and "the games we forget" it felt, personal. i couldnt tell you why but your writing is very wonderful, and im glad i subscribed, thanks for all you do.
love this channel, its like internet meta-analysis
You’ve got some quality content my man. Subscribed
I will enjoy thiss, finally a new upload
I really liked this video. It’s a refreshing take on some of this platforms most wacky characters
HOW IS THIS VIDEO SO GOOD!??!?!??!!?! IT"S JUST PUT TOGETHER SO WELL!!!
you got a sub from this video... very nice work and good points so far
9:01 message to all commentary channels
Good god, the outro. Great work.
Well made video. For some reason both you and MatPat posted inspiring/bittersweet calming vids recently that share the same spirit, if I'm making sense lol
I never thought about this though. I mean, I knew YT was stressful, and I'm mentally ill as well. I just didn't think there were that many of us out there making videos, doing what I'm trying to do. I don't even have a following and I've been stressing out and generally emotionally impacted. Especially for this scripted video I've been trying to finish. Thank you for making this. And I hope there's a change for being a content creator soon.
Dude. Great video. I feel sad now though.
This video gets more and more relevant with every weekly event of a UA-camr going off the deep end
YT pushes creators to keep making more and making it faster. This can push some over the edge and some into burnout. Some handle burnout better than others, too. Even Markiplier and JackFilms have been through burnout. I think it was PsychIRL (memory issues, forgive me if I'm wrong) who did a good video on the burnout issue.
I peeked at your About earlier and showed it to my kid because we're Aspies and we related. Then I land here and you confirmed it. Good to find more of us out there.
"For every Mark there's a Pewds."
Mate, if you only knew...
It's a constant treadmill. RUN UA-camR! RUN!
This channel is one of those that you so wish you found earlier because every video is a new masterpiece
2:15 love it! Also, nice meme
This is really underrated
wake up babe, new cursed judge update
this is thought provoking to say the least
The video of nick before the UA-cam spiral hurt
good video, enjoyed it a lot
"known shit stirrer" he should put that on his business cards
u deserve way more subs
Why youtubers are going insane? Its because youtube is mentally taxing, and the mindset of “UA-cam is a job” doesn’t help either and I think that’s why people took the wrong turn. Look at moist critikal/charlie, he doesn’t look at youtube as a job, and I think that mindset really helps him to stay out of the stuff that some of the youtuber listed on this video are doing.
That clip of Niko at the end as he used to be was icing on the cake.
This guy is disgustingly underrated.
I'm finally starting to be rated, I might even be overrated soon!
@@TheCursedJudge and if we meet up, we can be R rated.
*im incredibly sorry.*
@@ehNokka lmao
Great video
Oh shit judge upload
2:33 bruh you didn’t have to do Felix like that man 💀
just gotta have self control and stay true and firm with that you believe
The guy in the intro clip reminds me of the frontman of Deathgrips
Good vid!
Yooo I also have ASD so cool to see someone I watch have it too :)
Yoo ty for the heart ❤️
i wish this video lasted longer
Nice video !
This video aged well i guess... Fousey's in the news again this week 🙄
The fact that you predicted fouseytube was genius
Cool video i enjoyed 😎👍
Very informational
Thanks 👍
I once saw a video of an influencer who was crying that she finished work at 5:30pm. As you said, Internet fame comes with its own challenges, but finishing work at 5:30pm isn't one of those. Some people like to think that it's one of the hardest jobs known to man, when I can absolutely guarantee that it is nowhere close.
All of us are capable of crying over finishing work at 5:30pm
@Bob Job I honestly don't think I am lol. There's worst travesties in the world
This aged well.
I genuinely am unsure if people uncomfortably comfortable in their ecosystem of self-harm are ready for such a conversation, but really the only way I see this ceasing is if platforms *like* youtube stop existing. Pushing that further, we could also say consumerism as both a concept and a movement need to end. The reason people need constant dopamine drip feeds through content is because the workings of their mind have been fundamentally altered by said movement - as such - it is their only way of engaging with the world. It is characterized by highly cynical and detached relationships and the behavior that comes naturally to them. Personally, I find it terrifying and frustrating in equal measure that my fellow man is only capable of seeing anyone they don't know as an expendable wad of meat, and I hope this video introduces a healthy dose of that fear into callous onlookers.
great vid
VERY underrated
1:11 *Guy saying he wanted the ALT+F4 himself*
UA-cam: *This is the perfect place to interrupt for an ad for chocolate*
Why do UA-camrs go insane? The same reason Roman Emperors did.
When the human mind is granted any measure of power, it melts into spaghetti.
I may know one youtuber that I am subscribed to for his content that may be going down this path just judging by the tone of his voice as of late
While I’ve been trying my best to avoid this sort of thing when it happens, I have found myself personally experiencing a channel and creator around their heyday, felt something nebulously “off” about them and decided to not engage. Although, every once and a while, the morbidly curious part of me led to me thinking deeply about them trying to comprehend what was up with them.
Then not too long ago as of this typing, I was both surprised and not surprised at all to discover from the most unexpected place that as it turns out, this creator was in fact, a terrible person and spent a good week trying to get as much context as I could on what had happened so that I could get a closure of some sort on all of it. I gotta say, the phenomenon is a real head trip.
I hope we don't get crazy.
It's always sad being reminded of what Nik used to be. But at the end of this video, it hits yano.
I mentioned him to my boyfriend the other day. "He used to play so beautifully." He countered with "he probably still does". With how things have gone for him I'm not so sure he'd bother anymore.
@@happybunnyntx it's a shame that such talent has probably gone to waste.
@@RykerJones28 I'm still slightly hopeful that he'll pick it up again one day. Wake up randomly in the mood to play and accidentally slip back into it again. Even if not for an audience, for himself.
@happybunnyntx I hope so too. It might be the push he needs for his mental and physical wellbeing but we can only speculate as to how nik is really doing.
Hmmm wonder how the hedonic treadmill and the optimism or pessimist inform the swings of said treadmill
I love your videos.. thank you so much..
if Im bi-polar I would NEVER open a youtube channel..
thats like going to a pub when you're in AA.. and blaming the pub after you got drunk that night
UA-camrs claim freedom because they are their own bosses but If you’re not a good one in the first place, you will drag yourself down.
(Yeah, I know, that’s deep and I’m 5 years old.)
Genuinely though, I’m so happy to see someone talk about this.
When I talk about those things, nobody seems to understand or comprehend how any of this is linked.
Also, if I was to get a lot of money, I would never buy luxuries or good for fun, I would try to build a project or invest, to may be get even more money in return, but also because I cannot imagine myself sleeping on a couch.
I’m not a big worker but I would find it pathetic for me to be doing nothing interesting with this power.
Every time I hear about a rich person being depressed, I’m like :
“Why don’t they try to find something to do with their money ?”
Not necessarily something big.
It can be a simple restaurant or a shop, a school.
I would personally try to make an independent game studio and hire a few devs to make a game.
I don’t understand why they all just are like :
Life…SUCKS !!
Why, you, my wine, is my only friend, in my cruise’s Jacuzzi.
I just want to have a rest, why can’t I rest ?
Why, when I don’t work, I feel like I miss working ?
Why do I have no friends when I have money ?
Do people hate me ? They’re jealous, right ? They just don’t know what I go through.
Maybe, something wrong about me.
Maybe, “working” is a way to live, to keep growing and get opportunities to meet other people
It may also help me to know who…Who I Am.
What I love. What I hate. What can be a source of satisfaction and happiness for me.
What I would live to realize.
Even…Make a legacy and, not only, make people happy and help others, but also…Make myself better and feel better about myself.
Maybe…That’s…The way…
Money may bring joy…If used responsibly and with care in coordination with working and dedication.
Uh ? What did you say weed ?
“Nah.” ?
…You’re right, I’m delusional.
Mr.Bottle, Stop insulting…I’m cheating on you with Miss.Weed !
"There has to be something wrong with you to succeed on UA-cam." What does that say about V-Tubers, and their success?
That would be looking into: why the most popular V-Tubers are either anxious wrecks or absolutely schizoid.
Goddamit I cant do homework this is to good to not binge watch
6:35 best part of the entire vIdeo
Seeing that they make a truck load of money out of it their misery can be enjoyed guilt free.
But let's just cut everyone off from making money.
Imagine UA-cam doesn't pay anyone.
Then I'd be worried for anyone
oh nice, at 1:14 Rigoletto but without a bad singer to make me angry !
my issue with the hedonic treadmill is the idea that {the thing, the situation} actually brings that happiness scale UP. lets say base happy is 5 .... even that million dollars IS NOT going to bring happiness to a 6. the people that think that way are simply in error about gauging their happiness, IMO.
people think that the jump from a 5 to 6 is linear... when in all reality it requires EXPENENCIAL, and FUNDEMENTAL change, not simply momentary change.
people think that NOVELTY will bring more happiness, but it is only paradigm shifts that can change the scale of happiness. and then taking things for GRANTED can se balance the scale of happiness. IMO.
You wake up. How do you feel? Not bad. You do your day, it's all going well, you're getting stuff done. Next day you feel good. Not like last week, that was pretty blah - so much better than a few months back, that was grim! Today, well, honestly you feel great. Great! Lots of energy! You, your life, your thoughts, it's like everything truely deserves an exclamation mark!
And you're only just starting to pick up speed. And that's why I am so so grateful I'm not bipolar.
4:35 normal pills!!
Honestly UA-cam, and just the internet in general has only made me and probably millions of other people feel more lonely. More isolated.
Also youtube is a dopamine addiction
Don't be lonely☺️ You're welcome
Shout out to my boi Internet comment Erik who been youtube-ing since the early days, only recently getting his 1M sub plaque
Hell yeah, I've been a fan of Erik for a good couple years now, ever since that Jacksfilms video "Top 10 Worst Sports"
@@TheCursedJudge right on! also gotta say great vid, i 100% agree on your take here. Its easy to demonize people on the other side of a screen, and the average youtube viewer isnt thinking about the weight of the spotlight that creators feel.
If you're bipolar and have depression.. Maybe a public career isn't the best option. I'm bipolar myself. Rather than expecting the world to change, i put myself into situations that i know i can handle instead :)
You're weak
Sad but true
Seeing Alpharad Deluxe at 2:45 pulled me out of the video
Life is meaningless but I still gonna enjoy myself.
Also asperger high five.
First song used in this vid?
Good video
6:26 this is weird cuz CoryxKenshin always keeps his fans I guess he’s just a different breed
i have narcissistic personality disorder and autism
Hey! I have Aspergers too :)
Neato
Cause many people become youtubers because they are insane
Imagining my mind isn't on my side is very fucking easy, because I don't have to even fucking imagine, I am constantly sabotaging myself for no fucking reason. I hate myself.
I was diagnosed with BiPolar disorder. It sucks ass.
