So I've heard that some Youtubers have taken to doing something called the "Bird Box Challenge". Which consists of making videos of doing stuff while blindfolded

Funny. I recall Bird Box releasing a warning not to attempt what the characters were doing. I thought they were being self-indulgent. Guess I was wrong; people really are dumb enough to watch a movie and then try to walk into traffic blindfolded recreate what they saw without any professional expertise.

Thing is, majority of people 1) don't like to think especially about "bad" or "depressing" things 2) don't like to introspect especially on their actions that could have bad results 3) think they are invincible.

Part 3 kinda thing that applies to majority of teenagers and some adults since it helps keeping their sanity :p Otherwise they would be paranoid weirdoes like me who is constantly aware of several ways I could die whenever I visit anywhere(or even at home)

Taking down any and all outrageous stunts on Youtube is for the best.

So the new guidelines only cover videos that portray harmful challenges and pranks right?

Because i don't want any wonkey takedowns given these. Youtube always finds a way

[up][up][up] Pretty much - there's a reason around campus we don't like inviting "wet blankets" to parties and social occasions. Because recklessness for all that it gets a bad rap is enjoyable. That's the face of You Tube these days - frat bros, bros making a fool of themselves, and people laughing at and making reaction videos at the above.

I am proud to say I never introspect or think of tens of thousands of consequences, and I enjoy life a lot - even the fuck ups and embarrassing stunts.

Which is all well and good until someone is nearly killed.

Either way, if fatality is imminent, you should probably take it down a bit.

Well yeah I don't go as far as to involve things so incredibly risky. Even if I'm not constantly thinking about potential fatalities in every thing does not mean I'm gonna do what Jake Paul did or worse.

The Bird Box Challenge was originally a challenge on Twitch which was playing video games blindfolded but people thought of doing everyday things blindfolded became popularized and then lost its original meaning.

There's a way to deal with those thumbnails that show up at the end of a video apparently

This is the sort of thing I want Youtube to fix but it's been like this for a year now - often enough I'm researching something and there'll be important information at the tail end of the video, but it gets blocked by thumbnails because that's how Youtube rolls.

Hey all.

So a while back, I made a work and Funny Moments page for a Let's Play series I follow, Pro and Noob. However, only two people have edited it at all (me and my friend), and while I put it on the Needs Wiki Magic Love page, I figured I'd bring it up where a lot of people could see it.

Thus, I'm in this thread.

Are there any takers for editing the page? Even better, is there anybody here who watches RageGamingVideos who'd be able to make a Creator page for the channel? I made a page for Proob specifically since it seemed extensive enough to warrant a page of its own.

I wish I could get it through You Tube's thick skull that I don't give a shit about Bill Burr, The Office, or Family Guy.

For me it tends to be Bill Burr (particularly the clip where he rationalizes hitting women), Jordan Peterson and Family Guy. Bill Burr is a unfunny excuse of a human being, Jordan Peterson is a moronic and vile excuse of a human being and Family Guy is a unfunny excuse of a tv show (though every once in a while there's a solid gag).

It's very frustrating.

For me its every single right-wing pundit You Tube can find. Seriously, even with the video blocker extension they just keep coming one after another.
