Are you hearing me?

hey everyone did we know awsten apparently auditioned for euphoria two years ago? here is the video, watch at your own risk.. it’s definitely not… academy award-winning, to put it mildly. the upload date is jan 21, 2020.

fwiw the character, darian is a 17-year-old described as an “outsider, sensitive, vulnerable, and mischievous.”

the video was uploaded by dana sims who is apparently a talent agent in LA so make of that and what it says about awsten’s career ambitions what you will.

before anyone (see: twitter) gets mad about this, it’s publicly posted (not even unlisted) on vimeo and is incredibly easy to find (i searched ‘awsten’ that’s it…literally nothing else) so… what’s fair is fair.

i have absolutely zero idea how famous people actually are, like waterparks are the most famous band in the world to me but also absolutely shocking people sometimes know and mention them

One time I was recommending them to a friend who was absolutely not a part of the alt scene or anything and she was like "oh yeah I know a Waterparks song!" I was shook but also happy they had gotten that big

is there any job that is low stakes and doesnt involve too much social interaction and doesnt take up my entire day and pays me enough that rent is at most a third of my monthly income. no?

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!

Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.

These are all related I'm so tired of this shit people NEED to do better about this kind of thing because it ONLY harms people. Feel free to use these

ID: Four of the same meme with altered text that shows a 3D model of a spirit leaving a body. The spirit, blue, and the body, gray, are identical transparent models of a bald masculine human. They each read, in order:

"Leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as you ask them to stop mocking people's appearances"

"Leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as you ask them to stop being bigoted to shitty people who are minorities"

"Leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as you ask them to stop stripping ethnic men of their masculinity"

"Leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as you ask them to consider who else their statements hurt". End ID
