Patreon Edit: I commented this before I watched the episode, after hearing Atrioc's intro I will be unsubbing from this patreon immediately alongside my other 2,500 bot accounts.

Tyto

Oh yeah

Darius Leah

Inflated views 🫪 I know one guy that’ll enjoy that for sure.

Jokerx

Alex Martinez

Damn these unc glazing China all day

Betin

Dude those were geese not ducks

Katie Stewartmaize

Watched a video about the youtube change. A lot of the views are from the autoplay that happens in mobile. BEFORE you even click on the video.

FaerIsFair

I was thinking about this yt change a little more and this might actually be a small bonus to people just starting out. I mean even when I finally adjust to the inflation I think I will be more likely to click a 1000 view video than a 600 view video. But I dont know how much that is intended as the main purpose.

Aiden there is no way the #GalaxySamsung PUBG championship was botted. I could never believe that

Drew Arnason

Love the more relaxed vibes tbh and the part where you all looked so depressed after reading truth social

Taylor Holt

Jason Schrier did a video on the gaming convention at one point. Primarily the biggest reason to go to these conventions as an indie is that it's one of the ONLY places that publishers can see and demo your game along with the marketing you get with other people as well. But e3 died cause the big AAA companies realized they can just bounce off, and run their own thing for a fraction of hteir cost.

RitualEXE

As a small creator working on growing a channel I find the views change particularly annoying. It’s an extra step getting in the way of determining how a video is doing AND it makes milestone goals feel way worse. It’s hard to be excited about breaking a viewership goal cause you know it is really only half that. And it feels bad to have other people excited for you and know that the number is arguably fake.

Put some respect on Kelby's name lol, top streamer salesman

No Name

isnt the issue with go pro now more that there is just cheaper better chinese alternatives

Maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old man, but it seems like new games are increasingly nothing more than blatant copies of past successes. I'm all for a little yoink-and-twist, but not if the twists are just developing your game in a country with lower labor costs and adding a couple more predatory gambling mechanics.

Ty Hawthorne

Lowkey tho I do with there was more big a clips. I don’t really have any interest in the bonus clips channel

Bald Can’t

Imagine CCP Lemonade Stand Pod Higher Production Value Anime Filters Jiggle Physics Lemon Party? No, they've got Meatspin instead The Great Squeeze Forward

Wouter

Based on Indie devs I know, Gamescom is very much worth it for them. You get the demos, advertising and networking. For bigger companies I feel the shows are worth it for them, it makes their releases stand out among the daily deluge. And if you have a release, you'd want a booth to point people and press to

Tapio Kurkinen

This should have been a main feed episode

Qbig

imagine Trumps delusions go so far that he thinks he will win over the public again by promoting his own onlyfans. Would Vance still think he is "having fun online"

Nathanael Davis

I clicked on the most recent podcast episode on YouTube then remembered I already listened to it on Spotify. So that's a +1 view for y'all on that ep

Steven K

It feels like China's games are indie developers with more budget. When you watch the E3 showcases outside of the main showcase, it is a bleak view into how the vast majority of indie developers have no creativity. It is just copies of Stardew Valley, Undertale, Hollow Knight or a pick-three. China's games seem to be copies of AAA games. Who knows, it'll at least bring some competition, but the IP theft is just so dull and boring in my eyes.

Benjamin Fields

I work for a cnc company and we just got back from a trade show in Atlanta, it cost 125k and I believe almost 100k was just the convention and moving things in and out. Now we sold a lot there so the cost makes more sense to us, can’t understand how they justify it for games convention.

Tempest Liu

11:13 a question many Chinese ask every single day

Sam H.

To Russia’s potential incentives to help Iran: assuredly they also have oil in mind too, no? Not for buying from Iran, but for selling their own. The longer this conflict goes on and disrupts global trade of oil, the longer Russia can charge higher prices for their own energy exports (oil and natural gas). And since they are not subject to the precariousness of the Strait of Hormuz being open or not too, they can assumedly charge relatively competitive prices for those exports. For example, I remember earlier this year Atrioc covering it, saying that China had to become more dependent on Russia’s oil regardless of what it was priced at, since Iran was largely cut off from them to import from.

ThatDanMan

Doug clearly hating Reddit, but constantly talking about Twitter is one of the funniest things to come from this pod

Alex Piva

All my maga co workers think whatever trump does is the funniest shit on the planet (renaming Lake Ontario or anything that hurts our old allies). Anything that actually affects them they think “media” is making it a much bigger deal than it is. I don’t really disagree with the second statement entirely, but they just use it as a scapegoat. Some of these guys I genuinely think used to be smarter. They literally don’t give a shit. They don’t think for themselves. I think they lowkey just love rage baiting anyone with more liberal ideas.

ATTENTION TO THE MATTER WILL CONTINUE UNTILL MORALE IMPROVES

Gem City

I have been regularly listening to Markiplier’s podcast, and that dude clearly just loves the product. He had been begging for a sponsorship for months at least and sings their praises so often. He would have to be putting on such a charade to feign that level of interest in the company.

Armsperson

Thumbnail views counting is already happening btw if the thumbnail autoplays for a few seconds

fazebill

Gta6 is the last stand for America 🙏😩

Steven Lam

I know im late but the stream Aiden is talking about that got botted was Ludwig's samsung sponsorship stream where they played PUBG on the new galaxy S26
