Thank all of you for this educational thread, I'm so here for this Not a lot to say except the fact that cultural appropriation was not, as you said, the appropriate term, the problem here was the depoliticization of a movement by reducing it to its esthetics

I just wanted to react to this : 9:16 - Dan has another moment of glaring insecurity born self-awareness by saying, "I try to have some integrity." But Phil seems to try and head that off before it even gets off the ground by interrupting him to say, "It's okay, you're on my channel. ...

I'm about 10 minutes into the new vid and I've had to stop watching in order to calm down. How does Phil put up with the continuous stream of ridicule. They're not "Banting". Dans being an asshole imo. Yes Phils drawings are terrible but Dan's aren't that great either. If I was Phil I wou...

I loved this video so much. Phil's lateral thinking is precious. I'm always so heart-warmed by people who had succeeded in keeping their individualities despite society trying to fit all of us (and our thoughts) in boxes. I'm just (Plus, each time one of them is saying "Danny", I feel a li...

I'm sick and procrastinating doing actual work so here's timestamps and actual notes Notes: -Dan’s Northern inflections in his accent at points. -The fact he seems to have abandoned his straighteners, we don’t talk about his wavy hair anymore, it's just looking kind of wavy. -I said it once, and I ...

Though this was again used in another instance where pregnancy was mentioned and instead of what a casual might suspect of accidental pregnancy with a woman, Phil immediately diverted it to himself being pregnant I found this interesting, for him there's more chance of miraculous mpregnancy rather ...

Off-topic about Youtube algorithm The fact to keep in mind to understand YT's algorithms is that at the moment, Youtube simply doesn't make enough money to be profitable for Google. Last changes particularly had been made to make users rethink their use of the platform. Youtube wants to compete wit...

Re: quality content. I completely agree with you, fancybum and sia , imo Dan tends to take himself and DINOF a tad too seriously. It's weird because I've always felt that DINOF's content was more calibrated for Youtube audience than AP. Maybe because most vloggers I watch are French and mostly use D...

Some thoughts about his last video (it may have been said before but I feel like ranting, sorry). First, I actually did prefer this one compared to last year's. Ok, the definition of "meme" he used was a bit loose (they were not really memes, "Cringy memories of 2016" or somethin...

The internet to Phil is a group of Janises, always there for a casual chat while he picks up some milk. The internet to Dan is a friend and an enemy (maybe a cannibal) that won't leave him alone because he won't leave us alone because we all care too much about what the other thinks. I just wanted ...

Nah, miss me with that shit. A lot of the YouTubers who are suddenly all about 'crude honesty' are just being negative offensive assholes for show. Their brands are literally build on people seeing them as ~real~ compared to the rest of YouTube, and their supposed 'honesty' and 'unbiased views' are...

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to add a few things I forgot about the video. First, I don't know about the Youtubers named in the video but I know some who use this demand of "rough authenticity" to gain more views by making indignation and negativity their brand. Criticizing for t...

Subtle shade at deppy at around 4:24, tho if you wanna understand the points being made you should watch it from the beginning. I have to say that even though I love deppy there's some truth in what this youtuber is saying, and I admire this new "crude honesty" attitude some youtubers are...

I for one, don't really think that experience or outside experience really applies to deppy. (One of my pet peeves is seeing "well me and my friend act like that, and people think we're in a relationship but we're not. I look at my friend like that all the time.") Sure, it is interesting ...

First, I want to say that I personally don't think they are together romantically even if they're definitely closer imo than "traditionnal friendship". Anyway. I showed a friend some of their recent videos (mostly baking and gaming videos) and I don't think my friend ever watched their vid...

dan seems much more expressive/dramatic as a person i think, phil seeming pretty chill and laid back about things. that's how it seems imo anyway. I don't know about "chill", Phil is as discreet about his private life/opinions as Dan but he doesn't make every little thing a big thing if i...

I wondered if his reluctance to talk about YOI and Sherlock/expanding on his opinions on Mary had to do with the awareness that any opinion he gives he will be eternally bound to. Definitely agreeing with you there. His sound of anguish (?) when asked about "victuuri withdrawals" was tota...

I feel like the phandom pressures Dan and Phil into things that they are not necessarily into but since it's the trendy thing they feel like they should do it anyway. I don't really think they feel pressured to do anything tbh, at least regarding their personal lifestyle that's why they don't tell ...

What I find weird is people policing how Dan should or should not be addressing his friendship with Phil in front of strangers on the Internet. I think if someone is bothered or annoyed by Dan's sarcastic jokes about domestic buddy stuff, then IDK maybe it's about you and your expectations, and not...

There was nothing explanatory in Dan's tone at the 'domestic vibes', 'bestest buddy' and 'by we i mean me and phil' parts imo. Nothing. It's the same tone he uses when he's pissy about something but doesn't wanna or can't say it so he goes the passive aggressive route where he just takes the piss b...

Now to actually have something meaningful to contribute: Dan mentioned the fact that Phil would be "shaking in the corner" from social interaction, that's kind of new, isn't it? Phil is quiet in social circumstances but generally people project social anxiety to Dan, mostly. I always see ...

I also liked how he acknowledged the "we" uses, that was kind of an interesting part? oh, what did he say about it? (in case you remember) https://68.media.tumblr.com/30a3b2d57f8bd681d3f6d2080b45b3d4/tumblr_ojl4xqpYR61tjw02uo1_400.gif https://68.media.tumblr.com/c69f262833662cb132e1fa2c4e...

He was even surprised Phil said 4 years Communication, guys.

It's so unsurprising from Phil, I'm half-persuaded he didn't even do that on purpose but that he just misunderstood You do you, Phil :')

I was talking to my Mum about the gas leak and she said they would of got very ill if they really had a leak for 4 years. I'm not sure what to think. I mean saying a year would of been more believable, but 4 years??!! I don't care if it's a white lie for them to use as a reason for moving, but make...
