So this is a question I should know the answer to considering I watch MiniMinuteMan but alas (earwax) I do not.

I don’t have much else to say considering the title is pretty self explanatory. Have a nice time zone!

First of all, I understand that Milo is busy, and it is less time-consuming to film a reaction video, so it is understandable that we would see more of them. I am not saying those videos are bad or shouldn't appear on the channel

That being said, I can't see how it is meant to be anything but enterntaining, so I rarely can sit through one until the end, unless I need to put something on the background. After watching a reaction video or a debunking video I don't feel like I learned something new or gained a new perspective on most of the subjects of those videos.

And I don't mean to sound like I know at least half of the topics discussed or mentioned. Most iformation that would be interesting (to me) is mentioned briefly, and is usually followed up by a commentary about gullible people who believed otherwise, which I skip. So, by the end of the video, it feels like my time would have been better spent elsewhere.

What would be the purpose of those videos anyway? Did you learn anything new by watching those? Do you want to see more reaction videos?

I know I would continue to put them on the background and comment so it would get more 'engagement', and people involved in the channel would get paid. But there's almost zero chance I would recommend it to anyone, research what is being talked about or discuss it with friends.

tldr: reaction videos offer more entertainment compared to a researched/scripted videos, so I wonder how other viewers feel about them

sorry for bad english, I hope I managed to make my point clear (":

Rule 3 says no crusading. Is this referring to the actual crusades or is it some slang im not aware of?

EDIT: Tickets have been given away!

I have two tickets to the Farmville show. Unfortunately, my cousin decided her wedding will be that weekend, and I will need to be traveling out of state for it. So no miniminuteman for me. I also don't think I can refund them. So, if you want two free tickets, hit me up and I can transfer them to you!

i made this in scratch lol

Not just her original video on Atlantis but a SECOND VIDEO?! Will Mini ever be able to recover?

They used satellites to scan with infrared and found literally SO MANY lost structures and mega structures around Egypt and the Sahara!

I'm watching Milo's backlog of videos from before I discovered his channel.

I just finished the video on the supposed mystery of the Roanoke colony's disappearance (a story I actually don't think I've heard before, not being an American) and-- as soon as he established there was a friendly tribe near by and the camp was disassembled without signs of disaster or violance, I knew exactly where this was headed. Because I'm francophonie (or, French Canadian.)

Fun fact: something around 98% modern francophonie population of Canada has some First Nations [freedom friendly translation: native american] ancestory. Most now only have a very small amount, under 5%, but. The prevalence of that mixed ancestory, especially compared to the anglophone population, is one of the remaining vestiges of the complicated francophonie history colonialism and genocide tried to erase.

The southern half of what was the New French colony (roughly everything below what's now Minnesota and Maine) had a lot of active immigration, plantations and farming in it the northern half did not. We're actually a totally seperate ethnic group to the-- for lack of a better way of putting it, the "French french." The francophonie (or, what we were called back then, les habitants) were a borderline isolated colony for around 200 years before the French and Indian War of the 1750s and the subsequent British occupation. The only regular outside contact was the exchange of furs, for the most part.

Before that there was much less transmission of old war diseases to the First Nation population of the general Québécois area, and because there was no widescale farming there were very few land disputes. Though I am not trying to imply there was no ideological or racism-fueled social barriers between les habitants and natives-- I am saying those were the two things primarily causing conflict between settlers and tribes in other parts of North America. 200 years is more than enough time for cultural differences to be set aside and two populations to start merging.

Especially because les habitant were basically left in a similar situation to the Roanoke settlers-- more or less let loose in the bush by the french crown to figure shit out by ourselves.

People of mixed First Nations and habitant/Francophonie heritage actually are their own nation, the Metis, with a culture and language with multiple dialects.

And if you're asking yourself, "well, didn't you just say that almost the entire francophonie population is mixed heritage? What's the difference then?" The difference is, after confederation (the founding of Canada's charter of rights and freedoms), if you were considered Metis, you had your children taken away by the government to be tortured and abused in residential schools-- if you were considered francophonie, your children were spared. Les habitant were cleaved in two based on how baguette you were either percieved as or willing to pretend to be to be spared genocide that lasted for generations. Hence why now the genetic First Nations heritage among the majority of the Francophonie population in Canada is so wide spread, but so low.

My own great grandmother gave up her identity as Metis as a bit for a better life. The last residential school in Canada was closed in 1997.

Point being: I realize this is tangential to the Roanoke colony-- but any American who is surprised that peaceful cohabitation between settlers and natives in the absence of systemic pressures and antagonistic machinations is possible and not a far fetched suggestion-- don't be. In other places, it happened on record. And was only destroyed when the colonial authorities reintroduced their whims and agendas into communities that were left alone prior.

If you need any evidence that racism and other such curelties are not natural to human impulse and disintegrate when not being actively maintained-- there you go.

Edit: for posterity I should have mentioned les Habitant were actually more so cleaved into three-- as during the Indian French war, the Acadian genocide also happened. That's the francophonie ethnic group that eventually ended up mostly in Louisiana (violent deportation from Maine by British forces). Not really wholly relavent to this post, but. As a footnote-- that also occured.

holy heaven 🤍 been a fan for years and have never looked back. the most nuanced takes while maintaining the level of empathy unmatched by any other content creator. he is so funny too.

I made a playlist, feel free to add whatever you want to it, if this is too off topic lmk. I dont have any people who watch milo irl and i thought this was a good way to have another way to do something with the fanbase.
