Description: Think this was b8? W8! Don't h8! It was f8; consider YouTube in its current st8. I need to put food on my pl8- can't you rel8? But it's not too l8: Want titles to go str8, and for the dishonesty to ab8? Then change your clicking habits, and all will be gr8! ***** We probably do deserve to be baited for chasing sensationalism. Supply is determined by demand. But in a less general sense, the only ones who will complain here are the creepy gore seekers who were actually hoping to see me hurt myself (well, those and the dumb ones who either won't/can't read this or who won't/can't understand what I'm talking about). Besides, it is necessary to mislead in order to elicit a surprise! So lighten up, because I'm tired of being expected to apologize for everything that I say or release. Pay attention to some of the other YouTubers out there: Ever notice that many of them attempt to explain themselves around every move? There's lots of pressure for them to do so- but that's not entirely because they want to be clear and expressive; it is also a clever play that's being used to exploit your psychology. Presenting you with (mild) excuses, rationalizations, or apologies may reduce a presenter's apparent standing enough to make them seem more approachable- or human. It's threatening to watch someone who is too capable or competent. In fact, even in mate selection, there is a diminished return in attractiveness for competence; in other words, you won't think they are hot if they are too much smarter than you! Yeah, we like watching stupid, because it makes us feel better about ourselves. More specifically, we like for the object of our attention to be a close approximation to our equal, with a preference for that which rests just ever-so-slightly beneath the threshold of our own capacities. Such a case is a non-threatening reaffirmation of our own superiority, and we know that the average person believes herself to be above the average. Why would we want to introduce dissonance into our harmonious worldview? As John Stuart Mill pointed, "Absolute princes... feel complete confidence in their own opinions on nearly all subjects." Certainly seems easier to contrive competence than it would be to get it the old-fashioned way- you know- by allowing evidence to modify your calculus. Now I'm not no prince, but I'm not never gonna apologize for not having no dumb. Yet here I am, once again trying to explain, in vain, my nature! ***** Music: Blue Sizzle Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 ***** How to make that little orange pneumatic nipple-cap: youtube.com/watch?v=Tf45oZOTMJ4
