SCP-173 SAD ORIGIN STORY...

[@Alterego912]

At first, I thought that the baby was going to be put into the sculpture, as a resting place, and that attacking those who stop looking at it would be its revenge for not being watched closely enough. It would also make the instances of defecation make sense, as the baby wasn't potty trained.

[@UniverseShinobi]

Exactly what I thought

[@MeloraCarabas]

Sounds like a much better story.

[@guitarguy420]

It looks like Dr. Bob dropped the ball on this one....

[@OperatorKevlar]

But that doesn't explain the blood included into the mix.

[@AceXGamer-yb7pv]

In a different SCP video from a different channel it said all stories are and are not canonical because of the anomalous powers so there very well could be a reality that the baby is the sculpture

[@dkkanofkash8798]

Lmao at this point seeing SCP-173 tied up and crying in the thumbnail is a running gag for this channel. That still doesn’t distract from the great content of the video itself!

This is the first SCP Origin story I’ve seen that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. SCP Explained has been a huge let down for a few months at least, and I thought Dr Bob was going to start following their trend of videos, but he saved it with this one. This was great. It was dark enough and felt like something I hadn’t seen yet. SCP Explained just loves to self reference their own videos/stories, let’s not let Dr Bob fall down that dark self-serving path.

[@Footerguy292]

If you have a partner like him, someone who belittles you and then tries to convince you it's your fault ... It is not. You deserve to be treated with respect. Maybe someone out there already knows this, but needs to hear it from a stranger.

True but part of the problem is that some people are actually attracted to people who put them in such situations and friend zone those who treat them with respect. I think that some of the biggest problems we face are those that we bring on ourselves.

SCP-682 remarked that SCP-173 is an ancient creature. When a woman opened the jar of paint, she remarked that it smelled ancient. My hypothesis is that the spirit of 173 is in the paint, and that the foundation could terminate the SCP, by removing the paint from the sculpture.

[@someartist1908]

When the "strapped to a table and being subjected to a foreign object" thumbnail idea becomes a running gag, it's time to explore new ideas. Even if exposure goes down a bit, I feel that a cult community is better than attempting to gain as much viewers and subscribers as possible. Then again, I don't run the channel and I don't know the finances of creating a video. I'm just saying that I've been here since 25k subs, and some of these more recent videos feel like an attempt to get videos published just to get them published as opposed to actually spreading information on an SCP like the older ones used to. No judgement on where you want to take your channel. I just wish it to succeed in a way where it won't die out from becoming too popular too quickly.

[@Republicanboy1]

Yeah it's weird. I've been watching Dr. Bob almost since the beginning and only recently has the weird minimalistic strapped to a table for 90% of the thumbnails been a thing. If you check back to a lot of the older DB videos, the thumbnails were a lot creepier and more individualized toward the specific scp. I still love the Videos but I really can't explain the bizarre shift towards the new thumbnails.

[@someartist1908]

@@Republicanboy1 Like I said, I was here since 25k. I loved the older videos such as SCP-4795 and SCP-973. The older videos characterized the SCPs as mythical objects and beings that should not be messed with. Like you said, the videos are still decent. I prefer the old layout of explaining the actual SCPs containment, danger, etc., but I won't complain if a channel wants to shift their videos in a new direction. It feels that the thumbnail change of direction is completely unwarranted and unhelpful in properly advertising the channel's purpose. For this reason, I doubt the current watchtime is anywhere near the old videos watchtime (which increasing the exposure and clickrate). It's uninuitive to change thumbnails searching for increasing clickrate when they end up ruining it based on how KZbin's algorithm works.
