I want to be open and say that I dislike how much I've spoken about Asmongold in this series in general. My interest has never been in Asmongold specifically but the phenomenon of reaction content in general. It is just that coincidentally he has always somehow managed to be the easiest avenue and wish to discuss it. Although I guess that's in part because of how much he does it and how blatant he is with it like he has no shame. |
Unfortunately, I feel as though continuously bringing up Asmongold plays into this idea that you can assess reaction content as a whole by looking at one reactor's impact on one particular creator. Which is obviously quite silly. |
Moreover I think Asmongold has always been a pretty open scumbag. He wears his pure self interest on his sleeve and he has openly stated that he will scam anyone if he feels he can get away with it. It isn't like Asmongold is trying to pretend to be a good person or is ignorant of how he's exploiting others. |
So on some level these videos inadvertently say "hey you know that openly bad person who his viewers think is based because he's open about being a bad person? Well he's actually a bad person.” |
This is not exactly an interesting revelation or something I particularly care about. But I do think this may be in part what inspires people like Nekrit to try and rationalize how they are not a part of the horde that he exploits. Sure, Nekrit is just one of the hundreds going on thousands of channels for Asmongold farms to avoid work and to gain free wealth and growth. But Nekrit isn't like those others. He's actually a very special boy that Asmongold really cares about. |
It even seems as though Nekrit aspires to be Asmongold as at the end of the video he says he wants to be a content leech. Supporting an unjust system in the hopes of one day reaping the benefits rather than suffering the negative aspects is not unheard of. |
Lastly I have to admit it is annoying to spend so many years writing on the harm of reaction content to then see people not address any of my arguments when they make a video in favor of reaction content. Although potentially it could be impossible for a person to cover my arguments in such a video because you know obviously I believe if you understood my arguments you wouldn't want to make such a video. At the end of the day though I do feel ill equipped to combat the problems that I perceive. The strength of my arguments or if I want to be arrogant the truth doesn't really matter. |
What is more important is my own influence and my skills at communication and let's face facts I suck at making this kind of content. I can write a great essay but speaking it into a camera is a terrible experience for me. |
After completing this video I still have another essay that I still haven't made a video on and honestly I think it will be my last. I finished both of these scripts 4 months ago but it has taken me that long to read even just one into a camera. |
Regardless thanks for watching I hope you enjoy the video I wish you all the best. |
