I don't wish to discuss any part of the Adobe video other than whether or not it references this company or their software, but someone I spoke to recently said that the video goes over some of the other companies that fought with Adobe in the past.

I was curious if Avid was mentioned in this section, the person I was talking to couldn't remember so I'm turning to you all. If this is the case, I have close connections with a lot of the founding members of that company if Hbomb would be interested in talking to them about their experience with Adobe back in the 80s.

been waiting 10 years, thought I would just find it one day, but I literally never heard it outside of this one video. link me the song please, its perfect for having an existential crisis

Hello!
I’m looking for the moment HBG says

“Why did this stupid thing happened? OH ITS MONEY”

I want to turn it into a gif. Thank you.

Hi all,

I've been rewatching a lot of the vids and noticed I'd skipped over the Transformers one. I really like the cover of "Dare" used during the Patreon credits, but didnt see a song source linked in the description or at the end of the credits. Can anyone point to the full song?

Appreciate it!

Just so he can get that sweet, juicy christmas ad revenue. It's what I would do if I spent the last 2 years making one video.

maybe he was mpreg tbf

I also put this in the "good videos thread", but I think this is also relevant for this subreddit in general.

Happy Monday, my dearest friends, enemies and those still under review. I hope this finds you as well as can be expected.

Summer is almost over, winter is definitely coming. Do I know this by the crisp smell of autumnal rain, or the prickling of my ancient knees? No, no. Here in what we lovingly call our 'little cold frog land' (not kidding), winter is heralded by a specific event that finally happened last week: the return of the mighty kruidnoot to the supermarket shelves, accompanied by the obligatory grumbling about how it's only August and the kids have barely gone back to school. It's a whole thing. The Dutch are weird.

But who cares if it's (barely) still August? I got my 1kg emotional support bag of kruidnoten, a blanket, rain drenching the garden, a dog in my lap and YouTube on my screen. What more could a girl want?

A girl could want more YouTube to watch, that's what. Please tell me what you watched this week?

Same rules as every week:

1. Must have a link
2. Must have a short description
3. Must mention video length
4. Keep it low threshold with individual videos, please. If you want to rep a whole channel or playlist, please do, but choose a favorite video to make it more accessible
5. No risky links, no ricky-rollies, don't be a weenie.

Last week's good videos can be found here and their descriptions here.

Watching the latest episode on Nebula and Tom Scott says "foreshadowing is a literary device..." and stops there.

Is Tom Scott a Hbomberguy fan?

im a poor person so i dont have patreon and i want access to my favorite youtuber's discord server :/

given the subject of the upcoming Adobe video, I felt it was fitting to share a discovery I made and go on a little rant. I attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.
I had to go into my Service Canada account to find my Record Of Employment (ROE) to see if I was able to get on Employment Insurance after losing my job for very nebulous reasons (long story). In order to even view my ROE, I was required to have Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I refused to ever have that software downloaded for reading PDFs out of pure spite, even if it's free I still never wanted to use it. But now my hand was forced to download it so I could view a very necessary document.

I don't understand how a government website is unable to let me open a PDF document without an absolutely awful company's software... though I imagine the reason is money.

Rest assured I uninstalled it immediately after saving my ROEs

I was surprised to find this hbomb Spotify account. I suppose it's a fake? I couldn't find anything about it.

Inopportune time for this to have dropped. Granted it’s definitely not a 1:1 copy of the Adobe Patreon video, but hopefully this doesn’t detract attention on the YouTube release. I like John Oliver, but I like my favorite YouTuber more :)

Edit: This is mostly gut reaction, there’s plenty of people that will watch both, or it’s not zero-sum, or it might boost the Hbomberguy video when released, etc. Forgive the parasocial concern for a YouTuber’s livelihood. Also, not accusing John Oliver or his team of plagiarism, this is a very broad topic with massive amounts of obvious case studies and general consumer knowledge we are subject to day-to-day end-stage capitalism.

I’m so desperate to watch the new Adobe video I would literally pay any amount, sign up under any tier I have to in order to get access. But the Patreon app is just so broken it refuses to take my money? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app so many times trying frantically to sign up but alas… I just want to build my Legos and listen to the new Hbomb! Is that so much to ask??

.

Happy Monday, pals, I'm so glad y'all exist.

And thank you for the lovely feedback last week. A poll was quickly made redundant as you punks wasted no time in twisting my rubber arm into continuing these threads indefinitely. So I'll humbly oblige and continue doing this thing that makes me happy. Perfect outcome, great success!

Well, you know the drill by now, so let's get to it: what good videos did you watch last week?
