I’m shocked that Roblox is as old as it is. I was in my late teens when it launched so I have never the target demographic but it feels like it’s only been around the last few years.

Cody Johnston compared NPC streams to living statues, and I think that's a great comparison. In both bases, there's a certain artistry to how convincing they can be that you have to admire. I'm not sure what the appeal is for the people watching that long, though

[@emilyv12]

No shade to Tyler, just wanted to point out that the fanum tax description of trying to only eat one meal a day is NOT normal or healthy. I know a lot of girls who follow her started because of Almond Mom and maybe have EDs/other body stuff. It's OK to eat three meals a day and "being good" means different things for different people. I liked this video overall! I just also don't think it's great to basically normalize "lol I aspire to eating one meal a day" when talking to an audience that likely includes a high percentage of people who struggle with food stuff.

Babe wake up, Tyler posted another iceberg video

[@phoebee2326.]

i was surprised not to hear these 2 things as part of the iceberg- the shorts/reels/tik toks of a masculine ai/computer voice reading out bad memes (and often a lot of those memes are sketchy enough that i'd consider them part of a pipeline to red pill type stuff) or an ai voice reading creepy stories? creepy as in, children being unsafe like letting strangers into their house or getting in the car with strangers. anne reardon talked about this type of thing coming from content farms who post "hacks" and craft type things. but somehow this is on algorithms for elementary aged children? and the other one i thought should be in the iceberg- i HATE the specific genre of minecraft youtuber videos targeted at kids/young teens (despite not being marked as such upon publishing and therefore still having targeted ads) and they always have the exact same inflection/tone/pacing throughout?? like its hardly a person anymore its just a rambling voice meant to hypnotize your 9 year old so he sits still for 6 hours, oh and also make him beg for whatever product/item was being advertised every ten minutes. a friends partner's kid watches both of those types of thing ALL THE TIME and it is so worrying
