It would have to involve CTH live shows, primaries, Covid, the DNC, Bernie, and the leaked CIA memo, so I can understand why it might take awhile to filter so many ideas and intentions, but I think there's a full trove of content that could be turned into an intriguing documentary.
You'll be happy to know some enterprising young beefcakes (one of them is particularly shredded, his name is Felix) in the New York area actually made a podcast about the sub. It's called Chapo Trap House. They would basically just comment on all of our posts. You should check it out.
That's so cool. Would be even funnier if they hired a podcaster named Amber or Tacitus Oklahoma because of our memes here.
Shortly before we were banned there was some sort of advertising news. Something about companies pulling back from advertising on certain platforms (probably facebook). At the time I thought the ban wave was related to that, reddit cleaning house to provide a more advertiser-friendly image. I wish I had saved the articles.
Here is my analysis, please, this is just a rough draft, I haven't finalized anything. And also I'm not a yeastuber
Pre-Chapo: a buncha libs posting on reddit, tumblr, 4chan, and twitter
During Chapo: a buncha libs posting on reddit, 4chan, and twitter
After Chapo: a bunch of libs posting on Chapo.Chat, reddit, 4chan, and twitter
Yeah probably the best place to find a certain niche of adult content. Like if you dig long stockings, red hair and a corset, well, there is like a dozen users curating that content (I'm not horny)
I really don't think there's that much to it, r/CTH was what many people would call a left-wing extremist subreddit, which sounds scary, and so it got banned, just like many right-wing subs get banned.
Outside of talking about killing slave owners we also regularly joked about executing people in central park and all kinds of people getting the wall and the guillotine. If you're a reddit admin, so probably an Elon Musk stan, this is scary to you and you don't want stuff like this on your platform. So it got banned.
He's not a Breadtuber, and I have no idea of his politics, but I'd bet Fredrick Knudsen (Down the Rabbit Hole) would make a pretty good one. His recent one on Deep Blue was really excellent.
It would be really interesting to see his take, because I'm pretty sure he's not a political guy at all so we'd get a true outsider's perspective which would be simultaneously infuriating and enlightening.
is he a neutral facts and logic centrist? what does he lean genuinely curious i like worship the detail he puts in his work
I think he's like, slightly right but not really right. My m8 who works at Goldman Sachs and posts on 4chan is kind of the same way, that vague shade of right wing that you appreciate because you can let your hair down but not feel super fucking uncomfortable when ya do
holy shit I hadn't seen that first one. It's amazing how blatantly they mischaracterize SRA and chapo while also having blatant typos. real top minds in the federal government.
Wasn't someone on here making a podcast? I think it was called Peoples' Podcast Project or something.
I think you have the wrong person. I don't have any plans to make a podcast or anything 😜
Though I could tell you all about that one time everyone started posting John Brown memes when we thought we were gonna get banned
I tried to talk to endless thread about this because they reached out to me during the george floyd protests because of a sub I mod but they eventually went with TheYellowRose instead (which was probably good. she's great and could go the entire interview without talking about spez giving violentacrez a fucking statue for running a child porn ring. I'm just not cut out for that.)
honestly I would love to make a video about all the shit that's gone down on reddit to make it obvious they have a specific hatred of leftist politics but I remember trying to figure out how far back to explain and never coming up with a good starting point so I just wound up with only slightly related ranting for waaay too long. Also it'd be nice to have someone else who had been on reddit for the whole time to share their perspective on it too because especially when it comes to relaying the entire political history of reddit I am far from an unbiased observer and it'd be nice to at least have some corroboration.
The link to the fbi memo is in the comments of this wonderful post from a couple months ago https://hexbear.net/post/30412
That little gem was neither CIA nor FBI, that's linked to the Open Society Foundation. It's likely that some agency or the other took clues from that "study", ofc, but it's not on the same level as some spooks discussing the same things as outlined in the paper. I don't even think it was leaked, either. IIRC, it was just published normally, which is not unusual for such think tank papers.
