borrowing from others without being noticed is a badge of honor in the arts. The curse is that the only people who will notice what you're doing are other artists working the same craft - because their eyes are likewise set on looking for good ideas to pull from (and the idea's genealogy), rather than just enjoying what's in front of them.
imo yes, same thing they did with Motorola's Iridium constellation, and that was ~100 satellites, not 3,000+ like Kuiper/Leo is going to be.
If you really want to boil down how reused content creation is, everything goes back to either Theater - Character arcs with degrees of compelling stories, or News-casts - Person talking about thing. MATI? News-cast. WWE? Theater. Despite his show being formatted like a News-cast, Ralph is actually Theater. Most lolcow content can be classified under Theater.
If there's one thing Jim alogs & Jimcels both do it's the whole "Jimwalking" thing.
Is there a thread? Also, I thought Sweden was full of ayyrabs and not jeets.
I mean, 2020 ~ 2025 Metokur is not the same as old Metokur. Back then it felt like he made some of this videos just because he liked talking about weird people and weird shit, which was one of the reasons i personally found MATI so interesting back in the day. You've changed the format quite a bit since 2018, at first you were doing "people stream" almost every other week, then you changed it more to a variety show where there's the lolcow segment, news, politics etc, so it has undoubtedly become more and more it's own thing, it's also very well structured and i like that it's not just you waiting for people to give you the content to react to (or that you don't just derail the whole stream because someone donated).
You could just say everyone indirectly ripped of Mystery Science Theater since when you really boil it down most of them are just riffing on someone else's product. In the 00s it was bad movies and video games e.g. Nostalgia Critic, AVGN, Red Letter Media, etc and now it's weird people and it's mostly live instead of recorded but the basic format remains the same.
Sweden YESAlso I'm curious if you saw that Saba/Gura got caught in the Twitter jeetpocalypse?

almost definitely vpn or manager.
The most unbelievable thing: a doctor face timing. Also, a paramedic isn't going to be taking direction from the doctor, the doctor is going to be told "I'm coming, get ready and shut the fuck up".
Damn, you're 100% right, MST3K is 100% what led to most of the internet shows we see to this day. James Rolfe and Doug Walker were probably inspired by MST3K and without them you don't get people like Lindsay Ellis, Linkara, GameGrumps, Jontron, Scott The Woz etc.
No one cares who ripped who off so long as it's either funny or good. Most of the time it's not.
It's overstated. IMO the only legit cases of Jimwalking were Gator and that one furry Coyote Lovely (just listen to this). Meanwhile looking outside of the Sektur the amount of blatant AVGN and Nostalgia Critic clones back in the day was beyond and it was way more obvious. Doug himself was accused of being an AVGN clone ffs.
She doesn't have her own thread but she was doxed in the lolicon thread
Possibly. The only reason I bring it up is iirc, according to some schizo theory using the hum coming from the electronics in her stream from people trying to dox came to the conclusion she had to be in Europe at the time she was streaming
Allegedly that's her in the clip. I'm trying to find a post with that schizo theory cause it was brought up in both the lolicon thread & the vtuber general thread but I'm not seeing anything with specifics.
I have the nicer version of this Logitech.
Yes brother yes. I tell people "yeah I got this mouse to help with carpal tunnel" and they shrug it off. I tell people "yeah I lay back in my couch and have this thing on my fat titties and I don't need a pad" and they are *aaayyoogah* over it.
