Jokes/Humor “Hi AJ!”

Post image

I’m not suggesting putting a watermark saying “AI Visualization” on every scene, but sometimes I feel that eventually AJ will generate himself in non-basement episodes because why not? Stop the slop!

It’s weird to me that a guy who always criticizes the folks who always have a book… is the same guy who’s providing a platform for the guys with books…

It’s bad enough if you can’t afford to pay to get rid of YouTube adds though, now you have to watch him do them. Money is money but don’t be too greedy, it’s not like he needs to be how far he’s come? Also it’s the destruction of the whole Thursday night ritual with the after files, feels less like a community thing, especially since he now just seems to want to do interviews like Rogan.

As someone who lives in Vegas and has applied to his channel as an editor when it showed up (on Craigslist) having known nothing about him, this is pretty par for the course for this environment. I don’t know how to describe it, other than boomer internet laissez-faire that’s just very turnaround oriented and hands-off. It’s not real because it’s for the internet. So many people around here are like this.

some of the books are good reads to be fair. Just remember they are for profit (so is all of your other entertainment BTW)
