In Response To: That was really dumb... (stan)


: I kind of wish that digital video cameras, video hosting websites, and the
: simple embedding of videos from video hosting websites hadn't ever been
: imagined. I'm ok with forums, because I don't think that forums
: necessitate this kind of dumbery, but the other three things really do
: invite just this level of stupidness.

Wow... while I don't really have evidence to back me up in refuting that, I don't think they invite people to act stupid and think the world is better for them on the whole.

: I feel bad for the people who chart their life-paths on the idea that
: self-produced web-videos are a viable avenue to success. And I feel worse
: for people like these guys for whom a limited, but probably rabid (even if
: poorly articulated), fan base provide some deeply misguided sense of true
: worth, when really all they've accomplished is to make total fools of
: themselves in a very public way.

It depends on what you consider success-- for many people it's just not being forgotten, or even just 15 minutes of fame and enough money to not be in debt. Also true worth-- it seems you're implying people who make these kinds of videos are worthless-- if you're not I apologize, but it came across as, well, a dumb thing for you to say.

You cannot fall off the floor.
