I always love seeing how genuine scumbagdad is it's a great change of pace seeing someone call out the bullshit we may or may not be aware of within the creator communities
"I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I'm definitely refining my moral stance" is very comforting to hear somebody else say. A gentle reminder to always grow.
He’s 100% right about the fakeness thing. Sometimes I see clips getting called out for being fake then other comments say “who cares it’s entertaining” like bruh. If the creator had their way they would 100% let us believe it was real so we’re more invested. So how can you try to turn skepticism into a moot point? I love the nuance ScumBagDad is dropping here. We need more of it!
And how he identified the mental acrobatics is genius. Because seriously when you point out it’s fake, even in some degree like the scale of the your charity, people will just move the goal post. Who cares if it’s not real- it’s still entertaining. Who cares if it’s not helping thousands of people- at least he’s still helping some. It’s total BS!
@@buyerenogurlfwendo2106Yeah its just sad to see that people really don’t care at all from what it seems. The complete lack of empathy for the people being exploited for views in these videos. Its like they don’t care about the process behind the video at all. (kind of reminds me of those apathetic people towards ai art and being “who cares it looks cool” when presented with the fact its basically art being stolen with the data scraping and a lack of care for the process behind the artwork and the hard work)
Although it is technically true that they have thought before speaking, it wasn't WHAT, but the WORDS, or "wording" he used to express the same thought spoken.... He really didn't seemingly take time to think about anything besides how he was going to word the same thing differently than in his head, so people don't get butthurt. It's actually a sad thing for not just him but everyone to have any pressure on them to be doing only to express one thing on your mind at a time because of people getting so offended at everything
That statement of the "single man dollar" funding OF models and Andrew Tate type content hits the nail on the head...and it's quite ironic considering that one would normally think that both content types are contradictory.
This is a huge frustration for me when I'm talking about different issues with people and two sides refuse to work together and their problems are coming from the same root cause that both refuse to address because they think it's caving to "the enemy"@@trykarat
I constantly have to point out to coworkers and family members how fake most of these videos are. They want to believe all of it, so they ignore the red flags
If RUclips doesn’t do something about this it will be their downfall. The reason RUclips became popular was because it was uncut, unfiltered, and genuine as a posed to their competition television networks. Now content on RUclips is far from that. They could use the algorithm to change this but at the end of the day it’s a business and they are looking to turn the biggest profit so that won’t happen.
I'm not a content creator but I will gladly be a willing participant in any Scumbag Dad video. This dude is a legit creative artist, insightful, and smart. Would love to contribute.
Scumbagdad is one of the most genuine content creators. And Karat (sorry if that’s not your name this is the first video I’ve watched of yours) you are an incredible interviewer! Fascinating questions and follow-ups.
they mention it about mid way in the interview about editing of podcasts and their goals and such, and I thought that was funny because when I saw these clips on scumbagdads channel I genuinely assumed it was a fabricated script and not a full podcast, just another he keeps us on our toes and teaches us about social media and our interactions with it
This podcast is almost entirely unedited - scumbag dad is just that good of a conversationalist haha and I was just clipping some of his natural unscripted moments
The only kindness channel I like is JustKnate and he uses all the donations to make and buy things for the homeless community. He takes homeless people on big shopping sprees and actually shows the receipts and doesn’t lie or hide anything. He’s a leaven in his home town all the homeless love him and said he’s the only reason they’re all surviving. 1 man taking care of thousands of people. And not just buying them $1 cheeseburgers. He’s buying them shoes,clothes, tents, food, pet supplies, gas, grills,if they have a home he’ll pay their bills, he’s paid people court fees and lawyers and helps lots of people to get their kids back, he’s helped addicts get clean he’s taken them to rehab and picked them up it goes on. Helps the community More than any other person on tik tok or RUclips.
How were the North Koreans even contacted about the escape being filmed and how were the filmmakers contacted/informed about the whole breakaway and Datsuns such as where and when it was going to even happen?
Scumbag Dad has the most honest and funniest videos. The critiques in his video do make sense, there are so many creators who want to pretend to give money to the homeless in video. Just to seem like a good person instead of being a good person.
Good job bringing up the Italian husband (only follow one couple for their shorts). To be honest, I always felt uncomfortable for him but I tried to shake it off but each time it appears kind of abusive. I guess because I live in Europe and I know that in Italy the state of the economy there is really dire. On top of that, it affects people of all ages, a lot of people are basically hanging in there and would go along with their foreign spouse's internet shenanigans just to get by and they make peace with it. It reminds me of those couples who marry for Visa reasons, there is always a power imbalance whether it's the man or woman who is seeking the visa, they know that everything hinges on the success of the relationship. I think one of the most important things now with so much freedom and opportunity is morals and ethics.
so much great food for thought in this video wrt how content culture is shifting! didn't know that scumbag dad had this mission through his content - makes me respect his craft so much more. also loved the philosophical debates you both had!
This makes me feel a bit better about my closed off life. My ex fiancé went on the Whatever podcast and pretty much talk about our whole relationship and laughed about how she cheated on me and everything and tried to justify it. Only found out cause my friends, family, and her close friend as well all watched it and told me. The internet has gotten so fucked now. I’m glad I don’t do content or anything.
Just know it’s just just the men. I’m a woman and feel the same way about all of this lol. I’m just NOW worried about people like now becoming uncles because of this I guess?? But you need to have a conversation with her… that’s like. A deep fundamental issue
When talking about the other podcast style, it relates to the whole conversation. The irony is that real reality is not as profitable as the edited reality, although the real reality feeling is what makes it more profitable in the first place.
I think the reason a lot people enjoy SBD’s content is because he’s blatant about his satire. He doesn’t beat around the bush, from the very jump you know if it’s gonna be comedic or he’s taking it serious. As a fellow Iowan, Mr. Scumbagdad is one of our few treasures. I love his openness and straightforward way of giving us content. That’s why he’s so critical about fake content, because it’s not that hard to put some effort in and actually make a good video. 🤷🏽♂️
It's definitely hard to make good quality content. Don't even for a second assume he doesn't work his a*se off . But you are right with everything else 😊
a lot of things mentioned in this video resonate with me. I used to be an influencer manager and had a chance to be a part of behind the scenes. and my biggest takeaway is if someone can lie about small things in order to gain views, they will most definitely lie about something crucial if it gets them views. one more thing that bothers me about all these "kidness" tiktoks is that they aren't about kindness. these videos have a very weird message: "if you can't give a guy 2$ you aren't kind or good enough" which is fundamentaly wrong. on the other hand, I saw people saying shit like "well now I will always give people a dollar because what if one of them will turn out to be an Influencer and give me 500 instead?".
These discussions about these influencers who are pandering to peoples emotions to make money/views instead of doing it genuinely.. I have a new found respect for scumbagdad and get what he is all about.
scumbagdad is the best thing to have stepped into this generation of social media in my opinion. before i saw this video i knew he had videos that were meant to mock the typical content you get in fast paced social medias. good sh.t man. keep that sh.t up!!! i put my friends on his videos and they love the principle of your videos :)
Even in older youtubers, like they actually entertained and played games and made people laugh. But now, people just make content of giving stuff to people rather they want it or not. I noticed what Jacksepticeye said awhile back is very similar to what Scumbag dad is saying here.
Film making and making bs staged TikToks are 2 completely different things, the writing, directing, the acting it’s all art while the TikTok’s are just clickbaity bs
'Scumbag Dad' mentions how the way the video with the kid with cancer was set up, that it felt predatory. I thought of another one that sounds even worse. I was unsubscribing to a lot of youtube channels yesterday. I came across a biker I'd watch before.(I forget his name) The guy had multiple videos where he'd "find" a missing kid or missing girl. I didn't watch the videos, but having multiple situations where that happens? That seems very unlikely and just weird. If these people were actually missing, and he just happens to find them. What are the chances that he is the one who kidnapped them in the first place?
Why cancellations does not work? Most of the creators like Ssniperwolf have kids audience that are gullible And algorythm does not care if someone did something bad, so they will promote IT if the fans are out of touch
fantastic video, explains the situation scarily well, i don’t think this is an issue that will ever end, as you mentioned because people just don’t care! really happy you had him on the podcast though
I found your channel when you were in the very beginning and it was funny to see the satire become more and more obvious over time And I'm impressed with how well spoken you are I have thought for years that A.I is one of of biggest problems growing. I'm glad to hear you talk about it. It might be the birth of wide spread paranoia and death of media hating an emotional impact.. I'm extremely skeptical
We used to complain about TV networks and mainstream media deceiving us. Now, we aren’t just contending with lies from corporations - we’re contending with the lies we tell each other.
I love how he says “our quality of life in certain countries keeps improving” but doesn’t ask why it didn’t improve in other countries. Dude needs to watch some Michael parenti videos
I agree completely with the theft of peoples work. And the answer is so unclear . Because I write my own scripts I shoot my own videos I would never film anybody without their consent and I certainly would not use homeless people for advantage . But it is hard to regulate because I do love fair use in my video essays such as the one I made about Tony Hawk vs Taz Pappas I used many clips that I did not film I altered them and edited them and talked over them and mixed them with my own but I would've not been able to make the video without their clips . But there is a difference between what I and others do and what SSSniperWolf does and other streamers what they do really is theft. However I must say being small at this point I'd be happy if one of them watch my video because it could give me more exposure .
By the way I also build houses for my " real job". Among other things. Writing editing and trying to get my RUclips videos to pop off.. my image.. I love it. And especially editing for other people's channels which I also love to do .. just as hard if not harder emotionally.
I saw clips of this a few days ago, but i didn't think that Scumbagdad would make a full on Marxist critique of social media, impressive! Permanent fan
'Atleast he is doing something' Type of people are just unbearable. I talked to my friend about a RUclipsr who stalks Elun Musk and he loves watching that guy and I said "well the guy is insane and his content is predatory". My friend replies "so what? why do we need to care what he does" like I just don't get that mindset when you watch an influencer who is clearly not good and just don't care.
Oh my God I can't get over the italian husband thing. It's literally gives me the same feeling as that video of adult babies who wear diapers and shit.
I love the Korean dad that loves his food and shows appreciation for it, the whole family seems genuine and awesome, just eating foods from different cultures and shoeing appreciation for the food. He's lovely. Not sure it's the same Korean dad you are talking about though.
In all honesty I was in the military and most people wouldn't given the option to commit a war crime or to say no I found most of them will commit the war crime because it's actually really easy to commit a war crime it's actually extremely difficult for a person in a group to refuse to commit the War crime it's very difficult to be the one who also says this needs to stop or to try to stop it because if you do they will come after you. I wasn't for deployed but I was targeted and harassed and abused to point where now I have PTSD and I also refused to fall in line and be what they wanted me to be
I think the bigger cultural problem here is that we don't have a cohesive moral standard anymore. There needs to be a baseline at which the vast majority of society agrees that once you go beyond that line, you're objectively wrong. That line keeps getting pushed further back in the name of moral relativity.
we’re in a new world now with new situations, so there need to be new laws protecting citizens from being filmed without consent. current laws are outdated and refer to paparazzi and phone recordings, they don’t take in regard the influencers shoving cameras in peoples face to exploit them for content
the only time scumbag dad has ever let me down is when he thought building roads was a viable solution to ease congestion at 15:38 😓 trains + bike lanes now please 🙏
When you guys were talking movies vs RUclips or TikTok, it made me think of shows like Steve Wilko or judge Judy, those shows seemed mostly scripted yet they were purposed as being “real” just a thought would love to know what you think
The big difference for me is the informality and intimacy about social media, these programmes lacked this, also like wrestling we all know that it is more or less fake or at least contrived, they were aimed at adults, and lastly they weren't a 24/7 feed of goop. I'm not defending realty TV btw as it's own can of worms but at least they have checks and balances. Genuinely compelling media should be the norm and the want.
Fantastic two interviews with scumbag dad. I don't really care about your company I'm only here because I thought there was more to this man. But I'll try a few more of your interviews I hope you bring on more people who can paint a picture of parts of society so that we can all see life in a more genuine manner.
One thing i thougt about during the kid with cancer sagment is that if u can ask somebody if they would've found out that make a wish just does what it does for profit what would they feel they might answer differently than if u just asked if the ifluencer is a moral person while its basically the same thing
Well if this is about Ssniperwolf and little Kiara, Lia (Diaperwolf) literally lied to a kid about her age to get pictures of their body for "content and lols", her words not mine She had to censor it, still posted it, asked about their workplace, and now the website is down because of adults being predatory towards children
About half way through this, been following scumbagdad for a while. It’s wild where things have gotten with influencing - it’s all basically for self promotion. Appreciate SBD for calling it out. World would be better with people disclosing the dollars involved in what they’re doing and ending exploitation of folks who wouldn’t want to be involved.
I know a lot of creators don’t want to say they don’t like Mr. Beast, because his fandom is incredibly toxic and psycho. Plus, the last time a creator said ANYTHING negative about him (Jacksepticeye), he pitched a massive fit on Twitter and then praised himself for being ‘the bigger person’… But I’m not a creator. I sincerely dislike him. His channel gives ‘content mill’ vibes. Soulless. His charity doesn’t come off as someone doing something good because that’s the right thing to do, it comes off as CONTENT. “I’ll help people if you click like and stroke my ego.” That isn’t charity. That’s a game show. And he’s raised a whole generation of kids who will think that they should be rewarded for being generous-which is the exact opposite of being kind and selfless!
I'm glad I've discovered Scumbag Dad to articulate for me why this has always made me feel uncomfortable. This brings the scripture to mind. It's stuck with me anytime I feel like doing something nice for someone. Matthew 6:1-3 1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
❤ This is one of the most important videos on RUclips right now (unfortunately). When I say unfortunately, I don’t mean offense to the creators of the video; On the contrary; It’s such a profound discussion. It’s sad we live in such a world where it is necessary to have discussions such as this in the first place. Like if you agree lmfao 😂🎉🎉🎉😂 (no don’t)
The point about Hollywood is very simple. Everyone knows Hollywood films aren't real, and studios don't pretend they are. "Kindness" creators pretend it's real. That's it, I don't see how anyone could actually question Scumbag about this, it's so stupid and obvious.
According to Channel 5, content is art flattened into a commodity in which its value is determined by engagement. What's peculiar about scumbag dad is that, despite having a commentary and critique of content creators, he is one himself. So his very creation of content is itself a meta content about content. Its interesting because it's so different and self-aware compared to other content, but because it emanates from these very same platforms whose very nature is this flattening and commodification, he can't ever actually transcend its bounds. It's intrinsically bound to the same engagement algorithm based commodification and flattening. To find refuge in his content is to stay in the sinking ship ultimately.
Find refuge? Someone drawing a picture through mirroring another picture can lead and inspire another person to think freely, and deconstruct a box. Then that person can have a changed perspective
I always love seeing how genuine scumbagdad is it's a great change of pace seeing someone call out the bullshit we may or may not be aware of within the creator communities
"I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I'm definitely refining my moral stance" is very comforting to hear somebody else say. A gentle reminder to always grow.
"okay, but have you considered that seeing charity fraud take place makes me feel good?"
He’s 100% right about the fakeness thing. Sometimes I see clips getting called out for being fake then other comments say “who cares it’s entertaining” like bruh.

Awww thank you!
@trykarat maybe ask him to post a link or something, I've been looking for this video for ages
“I need to be careful with the words I choose” was so fresh to hear someone say. God we need more people who think before they speak

22:20 oh this aged like fine wine.
I had to go back and check the release date of this pod because this was so prophetic
Yeah that was borderline prophetic

This is such an important conversation to have and be heard by everyone on social media. Definitely subscribing!
Scumbag Dad Doubled my GP in RuneScape and gave it back.
He doubled my faith in humanity.
Dude I've always liked scumbag dad but man this opened my eyes to how great and how intelligent of a man he is
the way my mouth dropped when he said “giving to AI homeless people” … I pray to God, humanity doesn’t get to that low point 😭😭

I saw a random short from this interview and I found two new amazing creators.
I love the pacing of the interview. 10/10 would recommend xD
Awww thank you! You may wanna watch the first pod I did w Scumbag Dad before too- you may also enjoy the ones with Allen Pan and Max Reisinger

We need more SBD, keep it going. Here for the journey
I hate how this doesn’t get more views. It kinda proves something.
no idea why this podcast doesnt have more views! scumbag dad is insanely insightful
I was literally watching the first interview with Scumbag Dad when you uploaded this.
Excellent timing haha
Kept seeing the shorts for this episode and just had to come fine the episode. Great interview!

47:48 this sounds exactly like how things work in business. The honest business owner will be overtaken by the unscrupulous ones.
We see so many videos of people online, it's easy to imagine ourselves in those videos and decide to not be in there
I love how he says “our quality of life in certain countries keeps improving” but doesn’t ask why it didn’t improve in other countries. Dude needs to watch some Michael parenti videos
We now live in a world where you rent out an airplane cabin on an airstrip to film fake content
Love your podcasts, look forward to every new episode
Thank you 🥰 what have been your favorite episodes?
I love that this guy flings it in the teeth of all those venal apologists who pass their moral responsibility off on the algorithm
I agree completely with the theft of peoples work. And the answer is so unclear . Because I write my own scripts I shoot my own videos I would never film anybody without their consent and I certainly would not use homeless people for advantage . But it is hard to regulate because I do love fair use in my video essays such as the one I made about Tony Hawk vs Taz Pappas I used many clips that I did not film I altered them and edited them and talked over them and mixed them with my own but I would've not been able to make the video without their clips . But there is a difference between what I and others do and what SSSniperWolf does and other streamers what they do really is theft. However I must say being small at this point I'd be happy if one of them watch my video because it could give me more exposure .
By the way I also build houses for my " real job". Among other things. Writing editing and trying to get my RUclips videos to pop off.. my image.. I love it. And especially editing for other people's channels which I also love to do .. just as hard if not harder emotionally.
I saw clips of this a few days ago, but i didn't think that Scumbagdad would make a full on Marxist critique of social media, impressive! Permanent fan
'Atleast he is doing something' Type of people are just unbearable.
I talked to my friend about a RUclipsr who stalks Elun Musk and he loves watching that guy and I said "well the guy is insane and his content is predatory". My friend replies "so what? why do we need to care what he does" like I just don't get that mindset when you watch an influencer who is clearly not good and just don't care.
This was very well done and content that is very much needed! Thank you!!
The North Korea thing sounds like absolute cap though lol
Scumbagdad, always the based chad that he is. One of the few people that deserves a following.
Oh my God I can't get over the italian husband thing. It's literally gives me the same feeling as that video of adult babies who wear diapers and shit.
Not to forget his GREAT scumbagdad-series!
I watched the first Scumbag Dad one here, and I am super hyped to see another. BUT holy guacamole that intro music was intense
The lawn guys and kart narc also dont monetize those videos. They just use it for views/advertising
11:01 I love his take on this! So true I have so much respect for scumbagdad
For a second I was like “WAIT WHOS KOREAN DAD” 😂😂 Was just listening lol
I love the Korean dad that loves his food and shows appreciation for it, the whole family seems genuine and awesome, just eating foods from different cultures and shoeing appreciation for the food. He's lovely. Not sure it's the same Korean dad you are talking about though.
In all honesty I was in the military and most people wouldn't given the option to commit a war crime or to say no I found most of them will commit the war crime because it's actually really easy to commit a war crime it's actually extremely difficult for a person in a group to refuse to commit the War crime it's very difficult to be the one who also says this needs to stop or to try to stop it because if you do they will come after you. I wasn't for deployed but I was targeted and harassed and abused to point where now I have PTSD and I also refused to fall in line and be what they wanted me to be
I think the bigger cultural problem here is that we don't have a cohesive moral standard anymore. There needs to be a baseline at which the vast majority of society agrees that once you go beyond that line, you're objectively wrong. That line keeps getting pushed further back in the name of moral relativity.
we’re in a new world now with new situations, so there need to be new laws protecting citizens from being filmed without consent. current laws are outdated and refer to paparazzi and phone recordings, they don’t take in regard the influencers shoving cameras in peoples face to exploit them for content
i liked scumbagdad before for his content but this increased my respect for his mission on a new level
why does this only have 2000 views?
Thanks for watching early 🙏 hoping more see it soon!
Me looking for hate comments to clown on
This deserves a hundred billion views. I appreciate that other people don't just watch these bait videos on YT shorts, Reels, and Tiktok. It gets old.
This is really engaging. I'm glad I stumbled upon this.
Scumbag dad is very well spoken, I love you dad.
He's definitely very intelligent, well read, talented and educated.
the only time scumbag dad has ever let me down is when he thought building roads was a viable solution to ease congestion at 15:38 😓 trains + bike lanes now please 🙏
When you guys were talking movies vs RUclips or TikTok, it made me think of shows like Steve Wilko or judge Judy, those shows seemed mostly scripted yet they were purposed as being “real” just a thought would love to know what you think
The big difference for me is the informality and intimacy about social media, these programmes lacked this, also like wrestling we all know that it is more or less fake or at least contrived, they were aimed at adults, and lastly they weren't a 24/7 feed of goop.
I'm not defending realty TV btw as it's own can of worms but at least they have checks and balances.
Genuinely compelling media should be the norm and the want.
Fantastic two interviews with scumbag dad. I don't really care about your company I'm only here because I thought there was more to this man. But I'll try a few more of your interviews I hope you bring on more people who can paint a picture of parts of society so that we can all see life in a more genuine manner.
Thanks! I’d recommend the Allen Pan one if you liked Scumbag Dad
Why are you being rude though?
One thing i thougt about during the kid with cancer sagment is that if u can ask somebody if they would've found out that make a wish just does what it does for profit what would they feel they might answer differently than if u just asked if the ifluencer is a moral person while its basically the same thing
My issue is the deception. The influencer needs the family to participate in his script, which is portrayed as “real”
@@brad_podray which makes it even worst and the absurdity of people saying it is kind even more rediculous
@@shml5093it has elements of kindness but certainly the deception taints the experience.
Well if this is about Ssniperwolf and little Kiara, Lia (Diaperwolf) literally lied to a kid about her age to get pictures of their body for "content and lols", her words not mine
She had to censor it, still posted it, asked about their workplace, and now the website is down because of adults being predatory towards children
About half way through this, been following scumbagdad for a while. It’s wild where things have gotten with influencing - it’s all basically for self promotion. Appreciate SBD for calling it out. World would be better with people disclosing the dollars involved in what they’re doing and ending exploitation of folks who wouldn’t want to be involved.
I know a lot of creators don’t want to say they don’t like Mr. Beast, because his fandom is incredibly toxic and psycho. Plus, the last time a creator said ANYTHING negative about him (Jacksepticeye), he pitched a massive fit on Twitter and then praised himself for being ‘the bigger person’…
But I’m not a creator.
I sincerely dislike him. His channel gives ‘content mill’ vibes. Soulless. His charity doesn’t come off as someone doing something good because that’s the right thing to do, it comes off as CONTENT. “I’ll help people if you click like and stroke my ego.” That isn’t charity. That’s a game show. And he’s raised a whole generation of kids who will think that they should be rewarded for being generous-which is the exact opposite of being kind and selfless!
26:25 I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I hit "Do not Recommend" on those channels so fast.
I'm glad I've discovered Scumbag Dad to articulate for me why this has always made me feel uncomfortable.
This brings the scripture to mind. It's stuck with me anytime I feel like doing something nice for someone.
Matthew 6:1-3
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
How i like to just listen to him. He's very intelligent person!
Mental acrobatics.. Nice phrase!
omg i had no idea he was based off of the korean dad 😭thats just even funnier
“Like he’s on his last legs”
This is so awesome. I wasn’t ready for the babe Ruth photo lol
❤ This is one of the most important videos on RUclips right now (unfortunately).
When I say unfortunately, I don’t mean offense to the creators of the video; On the contrary; It’s such a profound discussion. It’s sad we live in such a world where it is necessary to have discussions such as this in the first place.
Like if you agree lmfao 😂🎉🎉🎉😂 (no don’t)
The point about Hollywood is very simple. Everyone knows Hollywood films aren't real, and studios don't pretend they are. "Kindness" creators pretend it's real. That's it, I don't see how anyone could actually question Scumbag about this, it's so stupid and obvious.
According to Channel 5, content is art flattened into a commodity in which its value is determined by engagement. What's peculiar about scumbag dad is that, despite having a commentary and critique of content creators, he is one himself. So his very creation of content is itself a meta content about content. Its interesting because it's so different and self-aware compared to other content, but because it emanates from these very same platforms whose very nature is this flattening and commodification, he can't ever actually transcend its bounds. It's intrinsically bound to the same engagement algorithm based commodification and flattening. To find refuge in his content is to stay in the sinking ship ultimately.
Find refuge?
Someone drawing a picture through mirroring another picture can lead and inspire another person to think freely, and deconstruct a box. Then that person can have a changed perspective
He gained my respect with this interview BIG TIME!
I hope what he’s pitching at 44 min isn’t dystopian but I know it is lol
