Zuckerberg’s “Masculine Energy”

[@Drophinoia]

They've rebranded the midlife crisis as 'celebrating masculinity'.

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

tech bro masculinity is no different from Eric Cartman’s masculinity and it’s pathetic that the rest of us are subject to their half-baked personalities

[@gersomgonzalez8200]

Boost for the algorithm because I want more of this long form content.

[@sophiel362]

Happy you're here. May the mighty gods of the algorithm be good to you

[@gregorycrouch9534]

Really hope this is where your video content ends up after the TikTok ban rather than Instagram.

[@sunray501]

Im kinda taken aback. When has corporate culture Not been saturated with masc energy? I work in an IT related field, and i find it near inescapable.

[@MattWrafter]

The difference is that, until recently. It has become standard corporate practice to at least pretend that you were trying to do something about the imbalance. Zuck and Musk are going from saying “People are lying about how our companies are dominated by masculinity” to “Our companies are dominated by masculinity, and we’re proud of it.”

[@chessiehorton]

Yay!! I’m so so glad you’re on here!

[@KenErdedy-zp9vd]

Wild to see the profile picture i've been looking at for years moving and speaking

[@JJMcCullough]

It's awesome to see you on KZbin! I've been a longtime fan of your writing. You should put your face in your Thumbnails though!

[@I-0-0-I]

Came from the Bsky post, love it. Subbed. If I could offer one piece of feedback, take care to "normalize" the audio level of each clip so that they are consistent. Maybe even add compression and limiting to your voice track to make it really solid. Cheers!

[@kelleygreengrass]

Oh now I know who you are on bluesky.

[@KyloRenRadio]

Same 🎉

[@TheRabidChipmunk]

My humble offering to the algorithm

[@tvaziri]

Love the new aspect ratio

[@CCP2]

i will be here for more of these Takes™

[@robertborland5083]

The vlogs have now expanded in a new dimension: the horizontal. Apt takes as always -- the kind of masculinity on display was parodied around 15 years ago in The Lonely Island's "I Threw It on the Ground". You also have industry titans who have been seen and see themselves as young counterculture (whether that is accurate is another matter) entering middle age and the establishment, and struggling to reconcile. I enjoy the tone in this video, while similar to the TikToks has its own character.

[@realfunnyman]

Happy to see you on youtube!

[@milsthechaos]

The 'move fast and break things' people don't have enough masculinity? Good lord. Thank god I sucked at programming.

[@paradisevendorsinc]

Ni hao, comrades. Wait, wrong tiktok alternative.

[@aavoigt]

Glad to see you over here, your Tik Toks were my favorite part of that platform

[@DogsinAutumn]

I’m a little lad, here for my takes

[@claireta1994]

Thanks for posting here!

[@butteryxdeer]

Love the Criterion hat!

[@AnnieRose1994]

So glad I found this, Jamelle is the only reason I still click on the NYTs

[@GravelordNito150]

Welcome to the platform!

[@Technoyote]

I’m here for the long form content. Much more satisfying than short hot takes imo.

[@nrgraff]

Loving the idea of your KZbin era, great video

[@nomisseven]

Loved the video. I don't know how to do it, but it would be good to make the audio of the clips the same level as your main voice track.

[@markn0024-lf3ek]

My sense is that Zuck has in common with Trump the narcissism and venality but not the more advanced aspects of Trump’s pathology. Where Trump is the ultimate alpha male bully, Zuck is content to ingratiate himself with Trump, probably subconsciously, by saying and doing things that he assumes would please the man who is in a position to affect his company.

[@kelleygreengrass]

Like he did with biden

[@TonyHightower]

I am in. Glad you're here.

[@LTParis]

BTW very hard to search in YT for your channel. I had to type in the URL manually.

[@Bruiser206]

Bringing some great context Jamelle!

[@KarinTheDragon]

I'm just here to help the algorithm

[@robertborland5083]

"I'm doing my part!"

[@bmckelvy5717]

Praise be the mighty algo

[@tfldad]

So happy you’re here!

[@MichaelDiTullo]

Thank you for this analysis!

[@tfldad]

But why do we get the disappointed Jamelle pfp here? What did we do wrong? I’m sad now

[@stpyramids]

Love your coat

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

the man is perpetually dapper

[@skyblueheel]

Hoping this will penetrate the RW dominance in this medium. Even so, yours is an important voice that deserves boosting.

[@manakasoma1997]

Jamelle takes on more platforms, love it.

[@TranquilMarmot]

Hi Jamelle! Enjoyed (most of 😏) your takes on TikTok so it's good to see them continue here. Bit of feedback: audio needs some balancing. Your voice was too quiet and the clips were too loud.

[@celich65]

Great start!

[@laurenschwarze8426]

Feel free to keep filming with your phone haphazardly on walks, idk why I felt like I was having a conversation with you during those vids!

[@jch3theredhead15]

This is great. Can't wait for more.

[@Deathshead419]

Nice, I look forward to more of these.

[@pablobarriaurenda7808]

I have to disagree with you there: Rogue One is the only good Disney Star Wars movie.

[@maxj1449]

You're on the money when you dissect the nuance surrounding the multiple connotations of "masculinity." 4:30 ish I do, however, believe there is another phenomenon worth mentioning, which would help people understand why Zuck the Ç U ¢ K's publicists identified Rogan's audience as being receptive of this gross "manly, masculine, gruff, self-validation-speak;" and that is the fact that the audience (and tbh probably half of Leftist twitter mob) cannot comprehend a nuanced understanding of the term "masculinity," so the left doubles down on assuming a negative connotation while the right/incels/JRE viewers/young men in need of a sense of self will defend the quality based on its more virtuous connotation. While its clear to anyone with eyes Zuck is in a new phase of standing up to his wife's boyfriend and is existentially adrift, I don't think his true thoughts or feelings are at all related to the message this PR campaign is presenting.

[@ColbyKingPerson]

Good take!

[@ZelphTheWebmancer]

My only not to this video is to pay a bit more of attention to the sound equalization. The clips are several times louder than your voice, typically the editing programs have a bar which measures the decibels (loudness) of the clip playing (and some show the waveforms too) that helps a lot in leaving things more or less in the same volume. Otherwise, good video.

[@Sn0wG0lem]

They're trying to be masculine? Could have fooled me. I thought they were trying to be cringe

[@milokaminsky1490]

Going to throw these up as a podcast as well?

[@RSelcov]

Good luck with that trademark.

[@late2stuff]

Five Forks 👍

[@theguy134]

The goat has posted 🎉

[@srslee5966]

Love your tik tok content. Happy to see you here

[@socgrrrl]

Completely off topic here, but I love the tiny kid-size stove & play set behind you. Do they make a tiny Loge pan? :)

[@aidanknight]

-ducking- I hate being an annoying Audio Guy but we gotta get a compressor on the mic! Smoothing out the volume dips and getting a good balance between your talking and the clips 👍

[@trestl]

This is a great take but please work on your audio situation.

[@threeprongedfork7061]

Love this, excited for more

[@SteveDawgNZ]

great vid!

[@travisheth2603]

Love the video

[@travisheth2603]

Dream team-up would be you and F.D Signifier

[@sfutral2]

I hate him
