I don't "get" people who watch podcasts and influencers

Date: December 31st, 2025 11:25 AM Author: Exhilarant center for example I have never seen more than 30 seconds of a Nick Fuentes clip in my life. I feel like this is enough to give me the gist. But there are people who watch a livestream for four hours of this? of viewers sending "supertexts" and then he makes fun of them?
I did try to listen to Red Scare once and I didn't make it more than 8 minutes through. it's just an hour of people saying uhh, ummm, ok, likkkkkke. It makes me long for the days of scripted tv where they at least knew what they were going to say
This is possibly my most Gen X opinion btw. |

Date: December 31st, 2025 11:30 AM Author: Judgmental Locus Gaping It's white people's version of brown people having WhatsApp and speakerphone conversations happening at all times
Brown people all have continuous always-on conversations happening on their phones at all hours of the day. You can hear them chattering away to each other in whatever dirt language. I think they have a physiological need for this or something, like it evolved because in the tropics you need to keep each other awake with idle chatter or else you'll fall asleep in the hot sun and get burned, idk
Anyways podcasts are white people's version of this. Our somewhat more advanced brains require some level of actual substance and "podcasts" etc offer juuust enough of it to meet our brain's needs. There's probably some natural curiosity at play too. Hearing Joe Rogan talking to some guy about how crocodile jaws open to the exact angle that the sun hits the pyramids during the equinox engages the part of our brain that was always trying to solve problems like how to preserve more food during the cold European winters in order to survive |

Date: December 31st, 2025 11:33 AM Author: Cyan state the only difference between listening to someone like fuentes and some academic is the quality of the discourse and the humor.
what *DO* you do? listen to dense audiobooks on heady topics? sometimes funny slop is good too. especially if you're listening casually while doing other things.
i do think political influencers like fuentes are pretty retarded -- why would grown men be "influenced" by someone like that? i do like his highlight reels when he's being funny. couldn't listen to him bloviate solo for hours though. however i will listen to MSSP when i'm doing work and would like some semi-mindless entertainment. |

none of this "content" is meant for actual deep study, it's parasocial background noise for online retards. it's also meant for clip farming and the best bits get regurgitated to tiktok etc leading to more viewers and more ad money. |

people have a very hard time understanding when I tell them that I don't listen to podcasts or watch whatever show people are talking about or that i've been in a movie theater 5 times in the last 10 years.
inevitably, a birdbrain will ask, completely puzzled, "so...what do you do?" as if the only form of existence is consuming slop. |

Date: January 1st, 2026 9:50 AM Author: geriatric fishy azn I've listened to diary of a CEO and seen some interesting stuff. There was a sam altman doing the rounds recently that's worth listening to. I think it's worth it when there's a specific person or topic but I wouldn't listen to some random person's musings on whatever on a regular basis.
Actually, I did list to Market Halperin's show during the election and found it worthwhile. |
