its algorithms pushing certain videos that is the reason for high views. I've been suggested this video a ton for absolutely no reason.
There is something so viscerally unappealing about these types of Youtube clickbait thumbnails. The obvious photoshop that doesn't even care about how shitty it looks and how fake it is. These are meant to make me want to click on the video, right? Yet they have the opposite effect on me. I just end up repulsed and avoid these videos like the plague.
I am in complete agreement, but then at the same time that video apparently has 42,000,000+ views. I just don't get it. It's sad.
Which is sad, because I think I know this channel, and this guy is actually pretty good for a white guy who reviews mostly reviews "ethnic" foods from around the world. He also makes a point to actually learn a few phrases of the local language so that he can attempt to communicate, and always seems to be pretty pleasant to the people who he interacts with.
I remember he went to partake in a ritual with one African tribe, which culminated in him eating the raw goat intestines and drinking the blood with them, and they were clearly impressed that he was committed to it. Very good channel generally, and even in this video in question he is very respectful to everyone and I like seeing the reactions of people generally not exposed to our corn syrup laden poison. They can immediately tell something is wrong with it :corn-man-khrush:
What I also really like is that he doesn't actually act disgusted or upset whenever he gets introduced to something "weird". He gives it an honest attempt, and can usually find some way to explain how the food feels to eat/chew.
People like this used to come down to my hometown to visit the indigenous people and they would always get messed with. The kids would act ignorant to get free candy and food while the more clever adults would make up some spiritual bs and leave them believing every word of it.
Lmao I actually have indigenous friends that do exactly that with anthropologists too. One of them is from a tribe in the US and said a relative convinced one of them that her people were born from a swan's vagina.
Cocoa farmers trying chocolate is the only interesting one to me because there's such a direct colonialism example. Otherwise it's just a bleach demon who is proud of their rearranged corn slop in a country that has a real cuisine.
It's like white people have this spongebob-like obsession to annoy the ever loving shit out of any black person. Even if they live in a completely different continent.
This is the politically correct version of the golden age of YouTube pranks where white guys would go into the hood and say words closely resembling the n word and then get angry reactions from black people.
There’s nothing genuine in these interactions and I do believe there’s a proper way to culturally exchange foods but YouTubers are liars and morons so they get the wall.
They’re doing the medieval peasant mindblow bit but with living people they deem lesser/backwards :kermit-pain:
I need to do a reverse of this where I go to the nearest international grocery, prepare some of the foods, and serve them to some of my acquaintances or neighbors.
Once America is destroyed the world really needs to round up the rest of the honkeys in Europe and build a wall around it.
