Regular watcher of DeFrancoâs content, and his other channels like SourceFed, and i really appreciate his even handed, level minded views and opinions. And while he usually tries to stay neutral on most things, he is not afraid of calling bullshit on people. Which this case clearly is, and i hope this troll gets squashed hard.
Boring, why do i dislike people who make crummy youtube vidoes and call it âour careerâ? whatever good luck to all involved
The video in question, âThe Big, the BOLD, the Beautiful (Re-upload)â:
I seriously do not get this whole âYoutube star/careerâ thing everyone is apparently obsessed with, let alone understand the appeal of third-rate âreactionâ videos, complete with terrible editing, weird accessories and out of control eyebrows, but this lawsuit should never have been allowed to go to trial by that judge.
Also, âpick up artistsâ are scum.
Iâm ignorant, but I thought you werenât supposed to talk about pending legal stuff? (âstuffâ is the technical term, go look it up.)
I think itâs just a bad idea to talk about pending legal stuff, in case you say something publicly that contradicts what you later say in court.
That depends on if you primarily want to fight in court, or outside it.
Right? I got on to these very good makeup videos that my neighbor (a serious makeup artist) recommended. But because I watched hers, I got recommended by the Tubes to other makeup videos. So yesterday I find myself watching this teenager on camera talking to all her homeys like, âYou know me, I love a thin eyebrow!â and then âplease click here to watch more of my things,â and then there was the review of 5 products where for each one she was mugging and screaming - like, lady, these are just blusher you can pickup at the drugstore, why be so dramatic about it? I guess I donât get it because Iâm not 12 but it seems like everyone wants to be an expert without any actual knowledge.
Also, get off my lawn!
Well these homemade videos suck horribly, thereâs no live action and they didnât do the vid in Sony WhatASound 5.8 and whatâs with the shit background and does that woman even talk and how can anyone in the world ever support these so-called âstarsâ of YouTube because really thereâs no such thing as a YouTube star and they wouldnât know a career if it hit them in their stupid, crap-editor faces with their stupid crap-fake eyebrows and hey why didnât the guy shave first does he ever shave and I donât like the color of his hat either because he didnât shave it makes him look silly and why would you want to look silly in a video no matter how crappy it might be maybe they think theyâre stars or careerists or something else dumb but why would they even if some jackhole wants to sue them for their poorly constructed video that I will never ever watch because I have a far greater sense of artistry than these two dingleberries and I donât need to say that Iâve got an internet career because nobody makes money from the internet except cats and dingos and some wealthy white people that I donât know but I bet they make better videos than this.
Oh, almost forgot: This case shouldnât go forward.
F.F.S.
Wait, just yesterday Notch was being vilified for calling âmansplainingâ a sexist term. Now heâs generously supporting a legal defense fund for creators targeted by a âpickup artistâ. Is he a good guy or a bad guy this week? I need to know!
It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

I understand it in the context of making actual content.
IE Vsauce, LGR, etc. These people that make bank off of being a sleezeball pickup jackoff, or putting on makeup⌠No. I donât understand that.
As they explained in the video, it doesnât work that way. Fair use is a defense which can be used in the trial, not as a legal claim for dismissing the lawsuit prior to trial. Itâd be nice if it did work that way, but it doesnât.

Something you should look into: sentences.
You do realize that the Internet is not an amorphous blob with a single opinion, right?
Itâs really more of a series of tubesâŚ
I know three children that want to be you tube stars: one reviews candy from all over the world, and the other two watch product unboxing reviews like there is nothing else going on in their lives. (I donât know many children, so three is a lot!)
Pick up artists? Sounds more like preying upon unsuspecting women. (Havent, probably wonât, watch either video)
