Oh for a world of Coffeezillas, plying and sharing their craft with sincere intrinsic reward, and less capture by the capturing of the captured.

Isn't this public yet? I don't see it on the YouTube channel...

Konstantin Kisin was beating the trans rights vs CIS rights drum again and I was struck by the self delusion. His argument is that he’s highlighting these issues because it impacts on women. Oh really, KK? I must have missed the episodes you’ve done about domestic violence, sexual harrassment, stalking, workplace rights, lack of affordable childcare, societal expectations of women regarding care and family…because obviously these things pale into insignificance compared to the risk that someone in the tiny pool of trans women might possibly use a female toilet.

To help the MOVEMENT and the CAUSE I watched this video TWICE so that the haters will ALSO SEE IT and that we can find the obvious SUPPRESION that this channel is being hit by! THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS!

Is this most clearly described as audience capture? I feel like to a significant extent it's also particular decisions in the youtube algorithm, driven by the total lack of ethics and sociopathy of youtube.

Matt looks way too relaxed. I resent this for some reason. why aren't you stressed out like everyone else Matt?

I've been a YouTuber since April of 2007 and have loved every minute of the stable obscurity it has brought me -- just enough of the right people and money (generated off-platform) to live content and happy doing good work. Why chase the "success" of being a miserable, insecure, angry algorithm slave? I've watched it wreck people (and my society). I hope you Decoders can cultivate a little sanity.

This is the most sincere I’ve ever seen him
