It's just SEO garbage. I'm assuming horny teenagers are the ones clicking on these?
This probably belongs in whatever the weeb version of the_dunk_tank is.
These isekai shows are practically all an attempt at a clever premise on top of the exact same non-story, so these recaps are probably the ideal way to enjoy them if you really have to
The reborn as a vending machine one is so dumb I had to watch it. It's fun but now it's mid-season and they're starting to run out of ideas.
I meeeean, a premise like that is definitely more of an episode than a full blown series so I don’t doubt it’s rough at the mid-season point
There is something about SEO YT video titles that I find so unappealing. Especially the gamer ones. "The developers KNEW what they were doing!"
I dunno I've been having a lot of fun with my Mr. Beast extension that adds his gaping maw to every YT thumbnail
Show
Wow someone actually took the time to dev an extension for that 🤣 people never cease to amaze me
ReArrow might help. It's a crowd-sourced extension like SponsorBlock that improves the title of most popular videos.
☹️ wanted to reply with my lemmyplatinum.jpg but your instance no allowy external pictures
The best I got is that the SEO-baiting trash of the videos is matching the nearly insatiable capacity of its target audience to be predictably pandered to, both on Youtube and among specifically-targeted anime consumers in general that want a filled out checklist of safe and predictable cliches, again, with only the hair colors, personality cliches, and some plot devices swapped around almost like a data-collecting chatbot otherwise would. It's done because it sells, unfortunately.
How's that? Happy?
I did watch a couple of those cause I will not dumb 5-30+h into anime.
It probably is SEO garbage, but sometimes I listen to 40k lore videos even though I already know it. Sometimes I want someone's reactions/cliffnotes. idk dopamine hits
