thinking about that ashswag testrun ep......
#listen 2 me. as someone who has a passive interest in the youtube algorithm
#and likes to hear people talk about 'optimizing' it sometimes
#and Also as someone whos very involved in fandom culture
#its so!! fascinating to listen someone who has a fandom talk about the meta of their work!
#like
#when i think of 'ashswag' i automatically think of the fandom. i think about the thousands of words and dozens of art about spite and rage
#but. ashswag (the guy) refering to 'ashswag' as a brand that can be optimized
#its. a Really jarring disconnect as someone who thinks of the fandom First
#esp when parrot and ash talking about the longevity of their channels
#and talking about other creators and eventually going
#'yeah i wish my content will grow with me as a person so i wont beat youtube like a dead horse and not enjoy it :/'
#is. so interesting.
#esp bc later they talk about off sourcing their editing to dedicated editors so they can be consistent
#and trying to find the motivation to keep on going for like
#5 years
#and about how their goals are numbers based but also 'i wanna make meaningful content'
#like. bud. yall already are
#as someone whos talked with lots of members of the lifesteal fandom: yall are making art that inspires you!
#it isn't just content that can be optimized. your videos inspire other people to create and connect
#and be. human with each other.
#and i Do think thats where fandom shines best
#artists celebrating other artists
#and ive been trying to go into this mindset myself: but youtubers are artists man!
#theyre just using a new medium!!
#and it sucks that youtube sees them as profit machines!! and punishes you for taking breaks bc youre human!!!!
#but. listen man. when i think of ls s3
#yes i do think of the traps and pvps
#but i also think about something else
#i think about the trust. i think about how in a server that punishes you for being bad at the game
