      Here's hoping. The analytics chart has been looking really good lately. Not profitable for me as I only get about 4.3 cents in ad revenues every time somebody watches the full runtime (lol, youtube revenues on this one currently sitting at $18.31), but that's a whole separate question about how broken indie film distribution is as a business in the streaming era. Any way you slice it I'm glad this one is finally starting to get out to more people.
      It may pop up on some streaming services in the coming weeks/months too, so if that works out it'll be cool that people will be able to find it outside of youtube as well.

      Seems like rotten tomatoes makes a distinction between "all audience" and "verified audience" but I'm not really sure how that works. Maybe you need an account to be counted as part of the "verified audience"?

      Glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad this is getting out there more lately, but that free part is a bit of an issue in the grander scheme of things. I make about 4.3 cents every time somebody watches the full runtime of this movie on youtube. It's been watched here more than anywhere else, but total revenues on youtube for this one are currently less than $40. If anybody wants independent productions like these to be more possible, something's going to have to change with the business model of indie film distribution in the streaming era.

There was a time a few years ago when it was a bit more widely available, but then a company called Distribber filed for bankruptcy and ripped off me and thousands of other indie filmmakers, so it's been sitting here quietly on youtube for a while now.

    • @WhoIsVerminSupreme
      @WhoIsVerminSupreme  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks. It was actually only about three years in the making. By April 2014 a slightly longer cut of the film had premiered at the Minneapolis - Saint Paul International Film Festival, and this final cut was finished in 2015. It's too bad it's so difficult to sustainably make even shoestring budget ambitious projects like these happen in the context of the new streaming economy (well, if you don't know the right people, anyway). That is to say, it's very difficult to even recoup the cost of making something like this these days. RUclips in particular tends to primarily reward the creation of many videos that can be thrown together quickly: vlogs, video essays, and the like. Still, I'm proud of this one, despite its flaws.

    • @WhoIsVerminSupreme
      @WhoIsVerminSupreme  10 месяцев назад +4

      I haven't followed Tim much lately but I think his political trajectory is an interesting case study. I shot that clip with him shortly after he was doing livestream coverage of OWS. Then for a while it seemed like people online were accusing him of being a fascist because he started to criticize the new American radlib dogmas. Then I think he kind of did actually turn a bit right wing. Or that's what it looked like to me. I don't know. I'm not a Tim Pool historian. Seemed like a nice enough guy to me when I met him briefly twelve years ago.
      For what it's worth I think he was right to criticize the cancellatory, identitarian turn that the American lefty milieus were taking in the middle 2010s, even if he didn't put things in quite those terms. For me it's been very disappointing to watch so many people turn away from building solidarity and challenging powerful institutions and towards sowing pointless divisions, socially abusing and persecuting various scapegoats, decimating communities that I used to like, and stumbling their way into more or less "raging for the machine." From where I'm sitting, it looks like a softened up, HR'ified version of a deeply dysfunctional, stifling, distrustful way of relating that was in large part incubated in American lefty communities has now been embraced by almost every established culturally left-of-center institution. I think that's been weakening social bonds, stealing a great deal of hope and joy, and empowering some strange new right wing forces. All of this works swimmingly as a corporate divide-and-conquer strategy.
      Plus we're all so politically balkanized and demoralized now here in the states. It's to the point that people often hardly understand one another anymore, if they even bother expressing ideas about a collective future they might hope to play a part in realizing at all. Maybe the way this movie is getting a little bit popular again will help with that.

    • @WhoIsVerminSupreme
      @WhoIsVerminSupreme  10 месяцев назад +1

      I don't remember that particular Simpsons episode but this was known as "the human microphone." In the context of Occupy Wall Street it arose out of New York City forbidding the use of un-permitted megaphones (we see Vermin debating with himself over whether or not he should bring his megaphone along in NYC later in the film), and it actually did work to allow big crowds of people to hear the words of one person who was given the floor. I do remember people occasionally doing this when it wasn't really necessary, though, which seemed a bit corny.

    • @WhoIsVerminSupreme
      @WhoIsVerminSupreme  10 месяцев назад +2

      In fact there are some people who've criticized Occupy Wall Street as having been too leaderless, and I'm at least in part inclined to agree with them. When you have basically no system of leadership whatsoever in a movement, too much room opens up for unscrupulous people with cluster b traits to move in and exercise social power for their own ends.
      My first significant experiences with manipulative identitarian opportunist types were pretty much all at OWS affiliated events, and in my view these sorts of people have done immense damage in society in recent years. Solidarity among the general population has taken a huge hit as a result of their antics, they've fueled a great deal of confused resentment that's given rise to some pretty unsavory reactionary forces, the cancel culture they embraced has done a great deal of social and psychic damage, and their whole shtick has now been sanded down into DEI, which functions largely as a very effective corporate divide-and-conquer mechanism.
