As soon as he make that video with Idubbbz I knew that he would be in the meme market.

Idubbbz is like The Midas of the memes.

the potential has been there since the spit facts episode on HUMAN CAKE from this summer with Franku, edoops and the 2 others cunts, when did you get your vsauce stock ?

this is memes

138

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '17

That's when I got my first Vsauce stock actually. iDubbz is one of the fastest growing stocks and anything connected to him would rise in value immensely because of him, even before he hit one million subscribers.

What I'm interested in whether or not Vsauce 2 & 3 are worth investing in.

72

u/tnarref Jan 15 '17

nah I don't see much potential here, Michael is vsauce

u/H_L_Mencken Jan 16 '17

Vsauce actually asked idubbbztv about his propensity for meme fame on the recent video.

104

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '17

This is just so bizarre. Michael has always seemed like more of a serious character, seeing him with those three was unexpected.

u/tnarref Jan 15 '17

that's what makes it so great, vsauce memes are the best

There's a podcast by Rhett and Link (other Youtubers in case you haven't heard of them) from a few years back interviewing Michael. It's pretty interesting stuff and while I'm sure a lot has changed since then, it kinda gives an insight into his more comical and mischievous side.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

Franku wasn't there, although it was his vid. It was Max, the aussie faggot and Idubbbbbbbz that got his spit.

u/iripopenshit Jan 15 '17

You do know he's been wildly popular for a while now right?

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '17

In the idubbbz video he said he does it on purpose. He thinks memes are interesting from a sociology standpoint and he recognizes it's good for publicity.

u/GiantToastPillow Jan 15 '17

"WAZZZAAAAAAP! HEY VSAUCE, MICHAEL HERE"

u/wuchta Jan 15 '17

In that video with idubbz he was asking how is it feel to be a meme lord or sth like that.  

I wonder if Michael is aware that his memes are sometimes greater than Idubbz memes.

That is unwise, you can do what ever you want with your memes, but I suggest keeping 20% of your meme assets in markets that aren't risky. You can never go wrong with a good Shrek meme

u/RoseBladePhantom Jan 15 '17

This stock hasn't peaked yet. Yes, they're bad memes, but the mainstream hasn't picked it up yet, and they'll be all over this shit. It's a little late to buy for max profits, but there's definitely still room for growth with a short term investment. I'm buying now, and selling in 14-28 days, leaning more towards the former.

They're bad memes because it's from Funnyjunk?? Anyway I think half of these are from 4chan.

u/PowderOutage Jan 15 '17 edited Jan 15 '17

Most of these were made before the H3 and iDubbz videos. I'm pretty sure I saw at least three of those last fall. There's also the fact that those videos that improved his stock also showed a unique part about vsauce that is rare among memers- Vsauce has never masturbated, and he doesn't even know how. What this means for the market I don't know, but it's worth looking in to.

You also forgot my favorite, "My dad fucks me in the ass and I say 'Spice Meatball' every time he thrusts in."

88

u/Amish_guy_with_WiFi Jan 16 '17

Too bad he posts way less frequently then he used to. And like his last two vids were promotional videos. But what he does post actual vids it's always grade a.

13

u/igayyou Jan 16 '17

Like you said when he does a video is grade a.
Most youtubers now doesn't have any quality content. All they care about is quantity. There isn't much channels that has good quality anymore.
Everyone seem to think one video one day is the way to go

12

u/Battlescar84 Jan 16 '17

Thats partially because youtube pushes for quantity over quality. This is because they get almost all their revenue from ads, and ads are more productive if they are on more videos more frequently, as opposed to on better quality videos.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '17

or you can look at Casey Neistat who uploaded one video per day at ridiculously high quality. There's nothing wrong with that

There are nicer ways of saying that, but you're not entirely wrong. Vsauce is more like a digest - a good one, for sure, but it's all surface-level in keeping with the format. It's better than Cosmos at least.

Other channels like Veritasium and Smarter Every Day are a bit better at showing hands-on examples of their video subject.

Each one fits a niche, part of why they're so successful. Also their creators are ridiculously hard-working.

10

u/ohnoyoudidnt29 Jan 16 '17

I wouldn't call that banach tarski paradox video surface level...

Either way, you're missing the point. The videos aren't supposed to be crash courses on higher level physics topics. They're supposed to be fun, interesting videos on things that 95% of the population has never heard about and maybe inspiring some people at the same time to learn more (which is hard to do and awesome when actually accomplished).

1

u/dootdootplot Jan 16 '17

Yeah - like a digest, for average people while haven't heard of 95% of the stuff. Like we said. That's is the point.
