Wow those YouTube comments sound a lot more reactionary than one would expect from your audience.

I think the idea of 'pretentiousness' is such a bizarre and wibbly-wobbly subjective feeling that it's almost never a really good term to use. Everyone has an incredibly clear image in their head of what is and isn't pretentious, but it's wildly different for different people. I might find Rin's arc in Katawa Shoujo to be incredibly powerful and deep, but someone else who I otherwise share a lot of taste with might find it shallow and without much meaning beyond "lol humans can't communicate"

That was exactly my thoughts. I feel the way he feels and I didn't even make the video.

More often than not ‘pretentious’ is just a way to dismiss work that didn’t connect or that you didn’t understand. If we all internalised the idea that not everything is for us and some things we can’t understand and that’s ok, then the word pretentious would fall out of usage. It’s an anti-abstraction ego protector most of the time.

That was one of my favorite Geller videos. It's a bummer the reaction to it got you to disengage from YT comments, but I suppose the positive takeaway is that you managed to foster a civil enough community up until now so you could read them all before. Not an easy achievement for a million+ YouTube channel. Something to be proud of.

This was definitely one of my favorites. I can't blame you for not reading comments. I've wondered how you feel about Nebula and not having comments on that platform. If it makes it a little easier to enjoy the video process or making it easier to releasing it.
