this has nothing to do with the video, but lets please refrain from making game theory a thing here please.
That thumbnail already pisses me off by using "Pewds" instead of PewDiePie. Such a fucking dumb nickname.

Dunno. Seems like a problem that could be solved through telling people about stuff like Archive.net.

[QUOTE=redBadger;48708715]this has nothing to do with the video, but lets please refrain from making game theory a thing here please.[/QUOTE] Not even going to watch it Game theory has changed and for the worse, because what it is now (no longer actually scientific or w/e) MatPat sees as it as somewhat successful. I enjoyed the videos such as "Mario is faster than Sonic" or as I was introduced into the series here "The Gender of TF2 Pyro" as they were actually somewhat interesting. The new content that's been released recently feels a bit lackluster, but that's just my theory Digressing and Sidequesting is still the best series hosted on the channel
[QUOTE=martinshoodie;48708782]There's room for Game Theory here like GradeAUnderA, H3H3, and Filthy Frank. MatPat makes [B]infotaining[/B] videos.[/QUOTE] He has literally stated that the Pyro is a gay male because of fucking finger length. And instead of making videos on games with actual evidence for various theories, like Spec Ops: The Line, he only makes videos about the popular franchises in order to get the most clicks. [IMG]https://d.maxfile.ro/nvgqfcmxau.png[/IMG] I didn't even know this was still a thing.

Anyone that defends PewDiePie is someone that should be allowed to use the internet. MatPat is still an unbearable and obnoxious prick.

I can't believe Rosalina is Peach's daughter from the future sent back in time to fix the mistake that mario created by enslaving the mushroom kingdom but it's just a theory [sp]i hate that channel[/sp]
I can't believe how much this channel sucks ...but it's just a fact.

[QUOTE=martinshoodie;48708782]There's room for Game Theory here like GradeAUnderA, H3H3, and Filthy Frank. MatPat makes infotaining videos.[/QUOTE] except game theory is fucking shit and also these examples don't even make sense and also why are you throwing names out
Game Theory is worse than Pewdiepie, so I'm not convinced
I personally enjoy his videos, they have good production value and the guy clearly does his homework, and he has a ton of fun making them. There's a place for all videos here, that's why its the video subforum. If you're just gonna come in here and bitch don't come into the thread at all
I don't usually watch GT videos but I thought this sounded like a good subject, and after watching it I do think it was a better video than his usual quack hyperbole. I like that GT tries to do research and use statistics and whatnot, but then he goes on to fail to make a coherent point out of it, compounded by plain bad writing, that if you listen hard really just sounds like rambling. For example, the video includes a slideshow of stock prices of traditional media companies going down, except the timeframe is this year and the reason it looks so bad is probably because they all dipped when the Chinese stock market crashed in August. He also alternates between a 3 month and 1 year timeframe to make the graph look more convincing. It's plain misleading. In a really long sentence he claims it's a catch 22 when gamers reply to clickbait with the objective of educating or scolding the authors for making fun of gamers, but it's not. It just means you shouldn't reply to them. It's not a catch 22. He doesn't seem to make up his mind whether traditional media outlets are simply ignorant and don't understand YouTube, or they're intentionally trying to ridicule YouTubers to defend their own position for a while longer. Even in [i]the same sentence[/i]. "The smartest show in gaming"? I'm not very familiar with his show but I hope that's a joke.
[QUOTE=Eonart;48709237]I remember MatPat going tits up when and blocking Scott Cawthon of FNAF when he said his theories were wrong because MatPat seriously wanted his theories to be correct that he'd even deny official source. Not like people were taking him seriously before that but after that, I feel incredibly sad for anyone that still does.[/QUOTE] Please tell me you have a link to this, I'm dying to see that
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;48709019]you're comparing info/theory channel to comedy/satire/bizarre channels? please don't, i'm sure you're smarter than that lol[/QUOTE] My point is since this is a place to post interesting/entertaining videos. There is a place for Game Theory videos. But it seems like there's not alot of MatPat fans around here.
[QUOTE=LegndNikko;48709384]Please tell me you have a link to this, I'm dying to see that[/QUOTE] Can't find a link to it, So here's a recreation instead: [video=youtube;lm4pP2qtDVA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4pP2qtDVA[/video]
GT is has quite a few good videos. Matt I mean... stuff like Gaijin Goomba is just kinda painful.
[QUOTE=martinshoodie;48709402]My point is since this is a place to post interesting/entertaining videos. There is a place for Game Theory videos. But it seems like there's not alot of MatPat fans around here.[/QUOTE] no there's not, after everyone found out that the "theories" are made up
I used to like him, but as his titles got more clickbait-y, statistics and theories became nothing but observations or farfetched inferences no sane person would make, and the overabundance of PDP and FNAF related topics I dismissed this entire channel as one big pile of clickbait fuel. MatPat himself in a video states he's an expert on Youtube's demographics and actually can be hired as an adviser of sorts to help smaller channels gain more views, and it's been more and more obvious that his channel is less on what he finds potentially most interesting and more what will bait the most people. I respect MatPat honestly. He's a businessman running a very successful channel by carefully planning out everything in his videos to maximize views. Sure it results in the channel having little to no soul, but hey it's harmless and kids love it so now I just pass on the videos and let him rake in his views.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48709471]GT is has quite a few good videos. Matt I mean... stuff like Gaijin Goomba is just kinda painful.[/QUOTE] and that one video posted in wayt recently that I'm not even going to give specifics you should know the one :why:
pewdiepie makes good videos [sp]but that's just a theory[/sp]
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;48709834]Sure it results in the channel having little to no soul, but hey it's harmless and kids love it so now I just pass on the videos and let him rake in his views.[/QUOTE] I'd argue that it isn't harmless, as that can set a poor example and largely discourage people from trying to produce quality content.
[QUOTE=Fayez;48708939]He has literally stated that the Pyro is a gay male because of fucking finger length.[/QUOTE] Ok, I actually take offense to that
Is this that guy that makes videos about how every main character in every game is actually dead and it's all a dream or some shit.
