We’d love to hear from you guys what you think about Meta (Facebook’s) motives are with mapping the world. Is it to help push humanity forward or to profit off the information? Let us know in the comments point👇

[@randyross5630]

I want to hear more of Blender Bot 3 why haven't I heard of this before?

[@1soap]

Peculiarly terrifying to say the least!! Some places should stay hidden I guess!! XD XP watched a video of natives who aren’t simulated into modern society, they don’t have electricity or any technology but one day a foreigner just wanting to take a look at them was killed by their arrows, they didn’t know what their intentions were so they shot first & maybe asked questions later, and watched a movie with line ‘we don’t go to countries & force our beliefs on them... not anymore’

[@metalhurlant5408]

You can go talk to blender bot right now.

[@charlesbwilliams]

A 20% subscription ratio means that a little less than 80% are new viewers. Can’t wait to see this channel grow!

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

Glass half full!

[@breadman32398]

They're both good. Lots of new viewers wont change by adding that clip asking them to subscribe, so that's good. And adding the clip might persuade them to, which is also good.

[@ItAllBeginsWithSelf]

I'm honestly amazed at how fast this channel is growing. Very glad to be a part of it. 🔥🔥

[@mukhtar__]

the quality and the frequency of the uploads are just 🔥🔥

[@DrewJoiner]

I can’t believe this video only has 3K views (new subscriber here)

[@PhilEdwardsInc]

crazy! had no idea but makes sense

[@SarimAshrafi]

Loved the content. Susbcribed at 39K. Hope you grow faster!

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

If the only downside is to make advertisements easier, I don’t have a problem. My concern is when a technology is used to oppress people - such as China in how they use cameras, facial recognition software, and other tech that can track your online habits so the government can use it against you.

[@hblackburn5580]

Um... This is already happening in the US, and like pretty much all developed countries.

[@arcticlover]

Only at the intro and already excited to watch this and see what gems I learn. 🤩

[@QuintoTubo]

Music a little too loud?

[@MovieCapzzz]

seems heavily inspired by johnny harris but thats okay, really liked the quality from such a small channel. Keep up.

[@jtgd]

He’s probably going to sell the data

[@meowingsoup8293]

Cool Vid

[@johnaugustine311]

The fact this these maps can try to show people the world may let people look at each other as people and not "people from another country" The growing level of "clueless" people in America is stunning and connected to diet and our failing educational system. Please do a show connecting "watching sports" and societies increasing facination with "balls" with the lack of learning going on in the country. Games and sports as well as a " new God culture " of mindless followers is incredible. Who would have guessed that God would watch so many sports and help so many people kick the ball to score.

[@SteMegManzaroli]

Nice vid! I personally use Facebook just for the marketplace and I don’t trust them very much, I think they would do something like this only if they know how to make money from it!

[@sobyeski]

"Welcome to the Matrix...."

[@Ghee_Buttersnaps]

What's up Mr algorithm?

[@marycorzette6562]

I stopped using Facebook a while back. No use

[@1soap]

My friend told me he watched a documentary that showed people trying this experiment where they sent this sonic wave of some sort in the ocean & had headphones on to hear what reactions they’ll get once they send out this noise & they heard screeches or screaming of whatever heard it, people are convinced there’s mermaids in the ocean so if they want to map the entire ocean I’m excited if they discover mermaid race in the seas! XD XP

[@breadman32398]

I think a better mic would be a good upgrade. Seems like this lacks bass or depth. Compared to like Johnny Harris's for example. Really high quality video otherwise.

Thanks, we’ve tried to fix this issue on our latest 3 videos
