KZbin has been going downhill for a long time especially since being acquired by Google. There are many videos by youtubers like Coffee Break or Memeology101 that show how youtube doesn't help individual creators anymore because it's too busy helping established corporations. In fact if you look up "youtube artificial growth" by Memeology you'll even see how youtube is planning to flood the site with planted fake youtubers. People who share opinions are hit the worst because there is a lot of censorship, demonetization, and shadow banning of anybody who has even mildly politically incorrect opinions.

[@mikerosoft1009]

@@maskedbadass6802 so what do we do?

[@maskedbadass6802]

@@mikerosoft1009 Unfortunately there is no easy quick fix because youtube is pretty much a monopoly. The best you can do for now is to stay informed and talk to other people about what you see going on. Little by little as more people wake up you will see slow but steady continued migration to alternate sites like Bit Chute. It would help if more big creators also uploaded to Bit Chute, but for now support creators who are honest and don't support the ones who are clearly schilling for youtube or virtue signal constantly about how racist everybody else is. This is the long game unless somebody comes up with an alternative tomorrow. Lastly, it's a good idea to learn and stay up on politics because it helps you understand Big Tech's motivations for it's dumb decisions because there is so much going on that most people aren't aware of. For example, we live in a world where feminism is forced into our entertainment, and also where books that teach men how to seduce women are banned from major retailers like Amazon for political reasons, whereas hardcore graphic sex books are okay. Politics is everything nowadays unfortunately.

[@SpizawkDaKizowz]

@@maskedbadass6802 Okay, but it's still free to post videos on KZbin. One doesn't need 'help' to do that. If you're talking about monetization - which means ad revenue - then in my opinion this taints anyone who earns money on KZbin; whether you call them a 'corporation' or a 'popular KZbin personality'....in both cases they're profiting from ads. If you argue that it's expensive to produce polished, quality content then I respond: 1) No, it doesn't have to be. 2) One could earn that revenue from Patreon/subscriptions rather than ads. I watch a lot of stuff on KZbin that's created by people who aren't trying to make a living doing this, and that stuff is just fine. I'll admit that my comments don't cover shadow banning or censorship. Those things are bad, but from what I can tell they're mostly limited to certain political conversations and maybe a little bit of the virtue signaling stuff. Horrible, but I expect this stuff to calm down soon enough.

Look at just Jim, watch how his posture changes, how his eyes widen or scrunch, eyebrows, gestures. All these help to add to the authenticity of the performance and make an impression truly unique.

Incredible and terrifying at the same time

That Christoph Waltz impression is scary good

[@flashchrome]

This is scary. Cool AF but scary still.

This should be at 1billion views by now. Outstanding work!

Weird that with the Morgan Freeman one his skin tone doesn’t really change yet it looks darker given the context of Morgan Freeman’s face😂

I had a genuinely bad Xmas and this cheered me up. Thanks fella.

[@Rhewin]

Ok the Robin Williams one freaked me out because he also got the mannerisms creepishly close

[@EpicBenjo]

What makes this amazing is not just the voices and DeepFake faces, but the mannerisms and facial expressions are on point as well!

And this is what a "normal" person can do. Just imagine what the government is capable of. Very scary. They will have you appear to say and do anything, any crime, any wrong doing.

[@bakokat6982]

soulkitchen1979 It would make it so easy to create the ultimate“ Manchurian Candidate “ and take down a country and it’s government. It is very scary! Our technology may well be the end of us on planet earth.

First Deep Fake I've seen that actually looks passable. It's interesting though that they had to use a very neutral-looking actor who actually doesn't look dissimilar to all of the others portrayed, and already has the same facial dimensions and similar/same eye to nose placement, to get it to really work well. And being an impressionist, he really sold the performance with the very specific inflections and facial movements.

Thought it was Steve Martin on the thumbnail, wish he impersonated him as well)

[@JayBSinging]

Jim does a DEAD ON Steve Martin. He had a video pitching to be on Letterman's Impressionist Week and did a montage and Steve Martin was one of them. It was perfect!

[@jimmeskimen]

I should have!

This is so trippy man. Amazing talent on the actor, though. Really helps the technology with how he actually changes his body movements too.
