      The clips shown are a bit misleading if you didn't watch the whole thing.

    You never assume bad or good from anything, but try to stay neutral and share concerns of yours.

      @@prawtism I would say that RL & Thorin have had to contend with a lot of horrible elements compared to Phillip. I'm not holding it against them to be a little bitter and mistrusting. For example, RL has spent the past month getting death threats because he had the audacity to criticise Navi, he's currently having to work with the FBI over match fixing in NA CSGO etc. He doesn't do himself any favours and he's a bit self destructive but he does good work.

    As someone who follows the By the Numbers podcast, Richard Lewis and Thorin are always dealing with the worse people you can imagine in the esports scene, so they are just being extremely skeptical and I believe guarded towards the idea that someone would a long interview out of pure passion for the game. I wouldn't take their comments as personal attacks, they can seem overly abrasive, but it is somewhat a part of the act and the show, at least it seems like that to me.
    As a side point I would really like to see the whole interview with Henry, while I think the condensed version was good, it was strange to listen to a paraphrased version of the interview without it being stated in the title or description as being paraphrased.
    Anyway I'm sorry you had do this video, big props from a long time viewer.

    Thorin's implication that Philip might not be as nice as he lets on actually doesn't even make sense, now that I think about it. What would be his motive? I think, if anything, history has shown that being hyperbolic and rude are much more effective ways of acquiring online attention.

    Oh my goodness! This is perfect and also sums up my experience with Richard Lewis: there was a specific not by the numbers episode, I dont remember the number but I think it was 2 years ago now, I was a big fan of thorin and Richard but this one episode they were just abusing a csgo player they don't personally like to a degree which I felt went too far and was actually past the point of acceptable. In the comments I called them out, saying that what they were doing was mobilising their fans to join them in online bullying and it wasn't acceptable behaviour from two community leaders. Richard lewis replied within minutes saying if I dont like it dont watch, but sarcastically thanked me for the view on the video though my comment "didn't mean anything because I am a nobody who will never amount to anything in life". I had politely questioned their motives in my comment, even saying I was a massive fan but coildnt support what they were doing in the video as I had felt they went too far... to get such a toxic response...there were a further two responses, the first in which I pointed out he has no idea who I am and has no information on which to base his abusive comment but that it didn't matter who I was as I was a loyal viewer like which is the backbone of their income. His next reply was another insulting barrage of abuse calling me a nobody who's opinion means nothing, he insulted my google account handle and tried to incent others to abuse me in comments. I gave a then short reply calling him a narcissist with nowhere near as much real world importance he he assumes and he then deleted my comments. Since this I have boycotted Richard Lewis and not watched anything associated with the guy. Truly a pathetic narcissist and a weak excuse for a human being.

    • @thatcherfreeman

      Yeah this whole thing is a shitshow, Philip misrepresented the BTN episode by removing the parts where RL says that Philip *couldn't* have been paid because it would have been disclosed it if he was. Then, while this video is primarily a discussion of Philip's thoughts on his interview format, there is a suggestion that RL had falsely accused him of being a shill, which RL mistakenly decided was the focus of the "journalistic ethics" part of the title. Then, everyone's just been publicly dunking on each other and taking shitpost jokes to heart. It's honestly pretty stupid all around.

    They thought the video was weird (which it is, it's an interview with Henry G without him actually being in it at all) and made some jokes about it.
    Them mentioning "he would have had to disclose it" is a sign that they know it WASN'T paid for, it's just such a weird video that it FEELS like it was.

    These days, the balance between cynisism and gullibility is such that its quite difficult to tell where a story belongs to. Not everyone in this world is around to gobble up cash as if it was for the second coming of the messiah. Some are genuinely here just to showcase ideas as they are, with no strings attached.
    But then again, those that seek to manipulate also try to show a facade of humility. Take for example the many subtle 'astroturf' style advertisements on reddit. They openly advertise a product as with a personal story to blend in with the rest of the 'people like you and me made content', but... In the same vein, could that story simply be that a person enjoys the product and wants to advertise for free to share his good experiences?
    Truth on the Internet is complicated. Its nature varies from group to group, individual to individual, lens to lens.

    Weird. I've never really considered your content to be overly "nice", just thoughtful. I can understand why Thorin thinks it's weird because I don't think he has a mode of being other than unapologetically raw and unfiltered. Sometimes that's fun too, but it gets boring fast if that's all someone does - he's a bit of a one-trick pony and gives me a weird vibe, like he couldn't possibly laugh at himself despite doing the same to others. I do like Richard Lewis, but I don't ever watch his show with Thorin.

    The fact people misconstrue Philip's way of speaking and video structure, geared towards integrity and clear division between opinion and fact, as being in some way disingenuous is a shame. I suppose it is a symptom of how much trust has been lost in the face of the more casual journalism carried out online (I struggle to use the word journalism to describe content which is jumbled mess of opionion and fact.)
    I really appreciate Philip's style of content.

    @gorapita 3 года назад +6

    Firstly, I don't think Richard or Thorin actually believe for the video to have been paid for, simply that had it been someone else, that would've been the assumption.
    That's a sentiment that, as a guy very interested in the esport scene, I can share, orgs obviously want good publicity and "influencers" can usually get a good amount of views from pieces such as this one. The presentation of your video, while understandable with your explanation, is certainly unusual. It's an interview, where we never get the actual words from the interviewee.
    Secondly, for all the people offended at Thorin's jokes at the end of the video, well, yea that's what he does. He makes fun of people for his own entertainment and if you don't like it I can't blame you.
    I really don't think that, or the "no one's that nice" line are to be taken any seriously at all, it was mainly for fun, especially that both of them are friends with HenryG, so making fun of him by proxy was part of the point of what they did.
    TLDR: are they rude? Certainly. But I don't think they meant to disparage the integrity of that video, only its form, which to them, rose the question of integrity.

    i really appreciate the efforts you take to making your content bitesize and enjoyable, but i also totally see the argument that you change what's being said in doing so, even if neither you or HenryG realise. also, you said it yourself about the BCI video; people might watch your summary and be interested enough to watch the whole thing. the best solution, imo, is to record the entire conversation, and link to an unlisted upload of that full recording in your summary video. you're more transparent about the content you're summarising, and you accommodate everyone's viewing habits
