And doubly so if there's memes or video content spliced into it.

Examples: Karlstack, who cannot write

John Oliver who is a hack

Millions of YouTubers in the infotainment so here when you just want to learn something you looked up and two seconds in there's a random dinosaur and explosion noises and an unfunny joke.

Seriously get wrecked content creators. You all blow. Just tell me what I need to know in five minutes or less and never speak again. So embarrassing. No one with anything important to say has to do it with GIFs and memes. Fuck off and die.

Fuentes almost never splices anything into his stream. Once in a blue moon he'll play a long form clip. He's also uniquely gifted at humor in a way no one else in the field is. But come on this is a guy who 9 times out of 10 rants into the camera for 2 hours completely unassisted. You obviously don't watch the show.

Asmongold is slop but he's obviously entertaining

"He's also uniquely gifted at humor in a way no one else in the field is."

So he incorporates humor. You don't like infotainment from people you disagree with, but do like it from people you agree with and find funny; so you do like infotainment generally.

Nope. You're close but I specifically called out style. Did you not read the part where I said it's doubly bad if it has GIFs and memes and pop culture video splices in it? John Oliver doesn't do actual news while Nick can do 2 hour hard rants without cracking a smile, and John couldn't get through a monologue without all of his ringding gags and images. And there are no splices with Nick. So aside from the fact that it's completely different and not even remotely the same then yeah I guess you have a point? But maybe actually read what I said next time?

I blame most of this on sometimes forgetting to click an xo twitter link in private mode. Most of the Curation probably came from muting a bunch of accounts and marking "Not Interested" on many, many tweets though.

fyi it's a lot more effective to block specific accounts, and to block extremely aggressively and often

you might already do that too. but i can tell you that blocking accounts works very well to influence the algorithm on what it shows you, in addition to making sure there's zero chance of ever being bothered by a shitty account ever again

pretty weird gripe

this kind of content exists because it's what 95% of people want. very very few people are actually trying to consume content to "learn" stuff and "be informed"

they just want to be entertained while having their priors/themselves validated

The Daily Show and it's consequences have been a disaster.

It's a shame because news that is both funny and informative could be valuable. Sadly I don't think it's possible without the race to the bottom we've experienced, and consequently the dumbing down and polarization of people.

Turns out the squares who clutched their pearls about the news being serious business and that it should be Cronkite dry were right.

Jon Stewart while I think his views are incredibly stupid I at least will admit that he is way, way funnier than anyone else who had a mainstream comedy news show. By a mile. He's actually funny but it's too bad he's a retarded bleeding heart liberal. But he never tried to cross over from a political show and try and be Johnny Carson. It didn't work for Colbert at all who was never funny even one time outside of his Colbert Report character which he should have stuck to. And Oliver is the most Reddit tier shtick of all time. Normies send me his clips all the time thinking it will blow my mind and it makes me puke. But in summation Stewart is the GOAT at his genre and no one else should have touched it.

Stewart's Daily Show had a lot of comedic talent in the early 2000s. Colbert, Carrell, Cordry, and Helms were funny as field reporters.

The remote bits were incredible. But Stewart could carry even without them.

The show would be 100x better if they at least gave equal weight to the other side instead of shilling intensely for Democrats. Kills the vibe. I don't mind if it's 50/50 but it's 90/10 libshit which is why I don't watch it.
