Going on the internet to find cults can be dangerous: There are lots of dangerous and indoctrinated occult groups you can run into!

Not really an irony thing. There was an issue with DHTML back in the day. 999,999 was the max for any counter until like 2005. Unless you used a CGI/Perl based counter.

CyberKevin's character is so ridiculously insane and schizophrenic that I can't help but laugh, from all of his typo ridden posts, to the extreme measures he takes to please his cult leader, so fucking hilarious.
This was one of the funniest videos I've seen from SkyCorp yet. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much effort goes into every one of these videos? You, sir, are dedicated. Thank you.
As an irrelevant person that makes yt videos, mine also falls under the “chaotic style”. But this channel is what I inspire to be honestly. Every character is absolutely insane and the script is brilliant
Because it's such a clash with the 90's aesthetic the sponsor integration was hilarious but a little uncanny, however the end card with the "buy now" was freaking amazing and put a smile on my face- been advertised to up front just like the good old days!
I must say its pretty bold move for NordVPN, but the sponsor section does way better than any other NordVPN sponsors and it actually enjoyable to watch.
Y2K was one of those paradoxes where you work really really hard to prevent catastrophic consequences of some phenomenon and you do it so successfully, that people then use the absence of catastrophic consequence as proof that it was all a hype. There are many instances of this paradox. For example when you deal so well with your handicap, that people think you are faking when you say you are/were handicapped.
Survivor bias. Most people alive have done nothing to _stay_ alive, other than shoving grocery-store products into their mouths and attending some low-effort job. Since, on average, there is absolutely zero familiarity with urgency, why should it surprising that nobody takes global warming seriously?
I saw someone comment on the last video about HTTPS should be HTTP and he incorporated it in this video. Absolutely amazing attention to detail/feedback I love this series keep up the great work!
@@nickfries4317 Well, that wasn't quite it: the main barrier was certificates was so insanely expensive back then. Heck, I can vividly remember plenty of cheap e-commerce sites that happily took credit card information with good ol' plain HTTP.
this is basically a detailed description of how many groups formed on 4chan, maybe not so much a leader like here, but think of anonimus (i am shit at spelling i know), they started out for the lols, and then turned serious once enough people were onboard
@@AntonioProla No, and I did NOT mean to imply declining quality. I was solely referring to our very first corporate sponsor, "selling out," as it were.
I'm a generation Xer and I've seen many tutorial tapes like this back then. You nailed it 100%. Everything used to be like this, even the music is on point.
Had to watch immediately, I've been hooked on Smithers since the internet comment tutorial video. He's definitely worthy of being a reoccurring character on this channel!
Man these videos literally feel like time travel - aligning with my actual evocative memories of the time haha. I grew up in the 80s and started learning computers more in the 90s, exploring early JavaScript (wow it was full of DOM exploits back then). A lot of the same fundamental social engineering defenses still hold true today - don't trust, always verify.
A few channels do a good job with sponsored ads. Two that come to mind are Map Men (who create an entire skit for the ad), and Ryan George who is an Adstronaut telling you about the product from Adspace.
I don't know how much work you put into these videos, but it looks like a ton. Really good stuff. The look, the editing, the content. Dark, hilarious, and spot on
These videos are genius. They don't just remind me of 90s instructional videos, they have the FEEL...the TEXTURE of them. If I was a moron, I'd think these were legit videos from 1993. I was a teenager in the 90s, I remember them!❤
I created my own cult about 5 years ago but didnt get that much following. This tutorial will definetly improove my follower count, thanks SkyCorp This is by far my favorite video of SkyCorp so far, freaking gold 🤣
Mark my words ! He is a real genius, he creates videos like it's 90s videos but actually they are created like that it seems to be 90s videos. But his ads promotion reveals it all that he is a fucking genius .
Hey Greetings from Germany! This is damn good! I haven't laughed so well in a long time. Your 90s acting style is perfect and perfectly rounded off by the VHS feeling. By the way, brilliant idea to solve the hurdle with a real VHS device. It's very time-consuming, but the work you do is worth it. Keep it up! Me and a few of my friends are looking forward to more content from you! Can we expect more episodes with the Self Aware PC?
You can tell this was made by people who weren't on the Internet in the 90's otherwise this video would be four hours long waiting for an internet connection.

The sponsor ads genuinely fit so seamlessly. They don't ruin my immersion at all, which is genuinely impressive.

More like Kevin would probably have the Council of Eldars under his thumb.
Kevin is the only Eldar I'd follow, he's a man with his head screwed on, a man of dedication and honour.
As usual, perfection. But. "IM ONLY 22 HRS AWYA:" made me spit out my drink. 'only' 22 hours. CyberKevin is a real one.
CyberKevin's character is so ridiculously insane and schizophrenic that I can't help but laugh, from all of his typo ridden posts, to the extreme measures he takes to please his cult leader, so fucking hilarious.

I didn't realise what that meant right away, nice subtle touch. CyberKevin could be on Jupiter, he'd still be "only 2 planets awya".
The way cyber Kevin writes all caps and with the perfect misspelling is so amazing. Gold
