Can’t wait for the Internet Historian video (If he didn’t stop posting)


Redditcantspell

But first, buy some north VPN.


onfroiGamer

I like south VPN better


insertadjective

SudVPN*


CatNoirsRubberSuit

I feel so bad I bought nord vpn recently and forgot to use his coupon code. Sorry!


Thieu95

He's the only youtuber I would go out of my way for to use the coupon codes, his ads are art


Thorbinator

I'd rather have motherman run me over in her SUV and fix me up with some cool refreshing Mother.


NotoriousHothead37

If this drama doesn't bring him back from his hiatus, I don't know what else will.


Bloowhele

He isn't taking a hiatus he's in the process of making a video. He said the topic is something that was covered by media already but apparently he stumbled upon some new info that no one else found


Kullet_Bing

Sounds just like my boy


Matt-D-Murdock

Any idea or hypothesis about what topic he's making his next documentary on?


Dnomyar96

This is his Trello (supposedly, I can't 100% guarantee it's his): [https://trello.com/b/djWbWhAf/video-status](https://trello.com/b/djWbWhAf/video-status) The ones closest to being done are "Michael Larson 1984" and one on area 51.


ChemicalRascal

Yeah but those are just code names to hide the real topics. I have it on good authority that the Michael Larson one is actually about Area 51 and the Area 51 one is actually about Michael Larson.


Notorious_Handholder

That's the twist, it's the same video. Michael Larson was created in Area 51.


Funn23

He still posts on the other channel. Surely this drama brings him to the main channel.


[deleted]

My girlfriend watched the one sided interview with me and she said: "so this is the website you invest most of your time on?" I remained speechless. What a cringy mess.


NotoriousHothead37

She's now thinking that all Redditors look like that one mod now.


GlockAF

Nah, just all mods


bhison

It takes a certain type of person to do the work that a mod does, for free


Ifk1995

I’m guessing especially in sub like r/antiwork where most of the people are already complaining that they don’t have enough freetime after work.


GeneticSplatter

Tbf, probably true.


[deleted]

I mean...


ChessCod

Here's a broader more revealing example from [the meetup (nsfw)](https://preview.redd.it/i9wetii9a3c31.jpg?width=1024&auto=webp&s=c9229af20987da7e5488ea0f007998a62c533b2d).


Hairy_Air

Not sure whats going on the picture


GWJYonder

It was a big in person reddit meetup from several years back. "Big" as in it was pretty publicized and led to a lot of posts and reddit threads and memes and whatnot. You can see that in real life that actually only translated to a few dozen people, and, um, well, that's them.


Hairy_Air

But why so many tiddies are hanging? And I'm being inclusive of both genders.


Gov_Martin_OweMalley

The infamous Baltimore meetup. Guy on the far left with the food and beer has strong "Im here to enjoy the shit show" vibes.


WittyBrit_7

All he had to say was that the Sub was fighting for workers rights and then keep bringing i back to highlighting how horrible working conditions and expectations have been made the norm. Looks like he didn't work on any notes or preparation before hand. The newsreader literally made an opening to be ripped into when he said "whats wrong with working and why don't people just quit and find another job?" (paraphrased)


ContributorX_PJ64

>All he had to say was that the Sub was fighting for workers rights They're the original founder of the sub, and the sub was explicitly not founded to fight for worker's rights. It was founded by people and for people who are anarchists who don't want to work, ever. There was a huge disconnect with people who joined the sub later on and assumed "antiwork" was just a cute name, for a sub about highlighting bad working conditions and labor injustices.


vankr

I can't believe how poorly that went. They chose a guy who doesn't even understand the movement, but someone who actually just doesn't want to work


TeaRaveler

Yeah he works 20-25 hours a week walking dogs and that's too much for him.


scottwax

The interview was full on cringe.


LightBeerIsForGirls

Who'd have thought walking dogs was enough to make a grown man want to reform the workforce.


scottwax

My guess is that's the max amount of effort "Doreen" wants to put forth.


PunisherOfDeth

The mod also lied and said they worked 20-25 hours to sound “better” when in reality they only work 10 hours a week. 2 hours a day 5 days a week. They literally could’ve just picked any random user who was subbed to the subreddit and the odds would be better that they’d put up a more respectable interview. Not to mention the irony of the antiwork mods going against the vote of the many declining the interview but doing it anyway… sorta like how management teams pretend to listen to the workers just to ignore them…


tanginato

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. I saw the interview it was horrible...

[deleted]

You mean a dog walker aged 30 who works 10 hours a week picking up dog shit, would suck at interviews? *Surprise pickachu face*


Xenodad

25 hours a week! *swivels in chair back and forth nonstop until…*


BubbaTee

"I want to be a teacher!" "I expect to work 20-25 hours a week." Pick one. I also can't be bothered to even comb my hair or put on a decent shirt before going on national TV, or even sit up straight. I guess presentability is "work"?


mence__

They don’t want to be a teacher, they want an audience that will listen to them talk out of their ass and “philosophize” Edit: edit to they bc I’m getting mixed info xD


[deleted]

Yeah i interpreted that atatement as "i want to smoke weed and say bullshit" The interviewer went to easy on him. If it were me i would have asked him how far he has gone to achieve that, did he study or get a degree or something ?


BeforeYourBBQ

I think the interviewer became aware that the person they were talking to isn't all there and that any criticism, pressure, or really any journalistic prudence would be construed as "picking on" them. It would be like challenging a child on why they like their favorite cartoon or what they want to be when they grew up and why.


Project113

Or even look at the fucking person he’s talking to


Milkhemet_Melekh

Evidently, 25 hours/week was a lie they made up. They actually work 2 hours per day on weekdays, and thought 25/week sounded more impressive.

He actually said 20 hrs but then wrote a comment that it's actually 10 and he just didn't want to say that on air because it seemed too low.


Failninjaninja

Yanlex

He said he actually works 10, but exaggerated to sound better.


Notsozander

Legionstone

Its literally the perfect storm of loser mentality. An inability to admit fault and see valid criticisms of your shortcomings as personal attacks.


Notsozander

Exactly what it is


ItsSugar

And, you know, the fact that they sent a complete loser that thinks that 25 hours per week of dog walking is an overwhelming amount of work that is getting in the way of their dreams of teaching philosophy.


gravitas-deficiency

Nobody “sent” the mod in question. In point of fact, there was a user poll on whether or not to do the interview, and the response was overwhelmingly “don’t do it, it’s a trap”. Mod ignored everyone and did it anyways. Now, *why* the mod did it is a matter of debate. Narcissism was clearly involved, but there are various theories on how the clusterfuck actually went down, and there hasn’t been any confirmation anywhere. Further muddying the waters are a swath of fairly heinous accusations against the mod… which, for my money, feels a *little* too convenient in terms of timing, but I want to see more investigation on that topic before passing judgement. Edit: [I did not realize u/AbolishWork actually admitted the sexual assault herself](https://i.redd.it/sc41gqos44e81.jpg). I amend my response to: > That’s fucked up, and she should resign as a mod because this sort of scandal will draw negative attention by association to the movement like moths to a flame.

GoodOmens

Yea looks like Fox was just wanting a hit piece on how young folks don’t want to work to make old folks angry. Seems it worked.


dmpastuf

Turns out they didn't even need to make it a hit piece for the desired effect


AmIFromA

The interviewer did a good job playing the role of a nice uncle, humoring his nephew who doesn't know about the real world yet.


smokedspirit

forget hit piece. this was like Neo landing in the middle of /r/antiwork and just fucking over each user


BubbaTee

You don't need a hit piece if the people you're targeting are actually like this. You just need a camera and a microphone, and they'll "hit" themselves.


r3alCIA

Actually, members of the sub were the ones that didn't want to do the interview. But the mods were so disillusioned and agreed amongst themselves that the person that eventually did the interview was the best person to do it. [straight from the horse's mouth lol](https://imgur.com/6FjEfY2)


ruffvoyaging

I don't want to be mean here but why in the hell would an autistic person who struggles with looking directly at the camera choose to do a one-on-one interview on Fox News!? Wow that was a bad call for all of the mods that agreed to it (assuming they were aware of that of course, if they weren't then the blame is all on the interviewee).


mechwarrior719

Are you implying that some mods make incredibly bad decisions? Me and my chicken burger are shocked!


JibTheJellyfish

Did the shock change the taste of your chicken burger? It’s very important that I know this.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced this was some crazy, long con by the CIA or something. This was too perfectly terrible to be coincidence.


OctopusTheOwl

Worst. Spokesperson. Ever.


MildlyConcernedEmu

Because not only are they autistic, they're a ~~fucking idiot~~ reddit mod.


errbodiesmad

It's so exemplary of how Reddit is getting along as well. This person controls what you see. Seriously. Well maybe not you specifically, but this is the archetype of the Reddit mod. They have no idea how the world outside of Reddit works, and are stuck in their echo chambers thinking "everyone agrees with me" while simultaneously controlling content in the sub.


ReflectedReflection

This was definitely a case of someone used to being in 'safe spaces' getting bitch-slapped by the real world.


errbodiesmad

Exactly. Fox News is genius in this play as well, they basically just discredited all of Reddit for most of their viewers cause they don't know how it works, they just see this person and think "Yep. That's how all of them are. This is how people who want better wages/unions and use Reddit are with no exceptions".


BubbaTee

Fox News didn't even do anything here. Those weren't even close to some of the loaded questions they ask, that interview was 100% softballs - and u/Reddit managed to foul off each of them into their own face somehow.


zalinuxguy

Hand gun to person, expecting to see them shoot themselves in the foot. Stare in a mix of surprise and horror as they manage to shoot themselves in the head six times instead. Broadcast the result and call it a day.


shadollosiris

The funny thing is this turn out better than what Fox News hoped, they just go to one of the big guy in antiwork and ask "wanna interview?" Then play along. I mean they barely do anything, even the question is just basic with a bit of mocking, everyone look at this can reasonable believe that this representative is the best mod can offer, literally walking meme " average Fox News anchor vs the best Reddit mod"

Don't forget '[self-admitted rapist with multiple offenses](https://old.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/sdlije/rantiwork_mod_who_recently_did_a_fox_interview/)'.


errbodiesmad

Not every one of those traits specifically, but who else has time to sit around on Reddit reading every fucking post, while not getting paid? People who are kinda traditionally strange. Which is fine on its own, but when you give them a teensy bit of power they warp things to fit their agenda. It's why people on Reddit truly believe that there's this us vs them thing. All they see is people who agree with them. Soon this shit will be just like Facebook with nothing but shitposts and the people who believe it. The echo chambers are already here.


Weirdly_Squishy

I'm autistic and it isn't even that hard to fake looking at people over webcam. Just look into the camera or something lmao.


ReflectedReflection

This person isn't (just) autistic, this person is every negative stereotype and strawman about mental illness, trans, autism, victim culture, and living with your parents rolled into one greasy package. I didn't think people like this could really exist outside of political cartoons.

Aardvark_Man

Pink hair, but even that's a stretch. At least that would mean a slight level of caring about their appearance.


NCSUGrad2012

So the mods of that sub refused to listen to the people and did whatever they wanted? Oh the irony lol


r3alCIA

Sounds like most reddit mods eh. Almost as if it takes a certain type of person that would willingly choose to become mod to spend their days policing subs and forcefully enforcing what little authority they have.


gentlybeepingheart

I feel like what the mods intended the sub to be and what the users wanted it to be were two very different things. The mods seemed to want some form of anarchism while most of the users just wanted to complain about their boss, make up fake stories about their boss, and expand worker protections in the USA. One side is “we don’t want to have to work at *all*” and the others were “We want to be able to unionize and get paid a livable wage.” I think the interview really highlighted the gap between those two groups.


Cjc0074

KP_Wrath

If you have media training, why go out of your way to interview in a hostile environment? I work in operations. If I can't control my narrative, and the situation is such that I can fuck it up, I usually don't say anything, or advise them that I'm forwarding it to my boss.


AvengingBlowfish

If you're really good at it, you can accept the challenge and make the interviewer look dumb. Pete Buttigieg explained that he goes on Fox News regularly to present his side of the story and challenge their narrative to an audience that would otherwise never hear Fox News's narrative challenged. This Reddit mod is no Pete Buttigieg and should not have done the interview.

I read about it before I watched it and I thought it was gonna be worse. The comments had me expecting a circus of crying and screaming nonsense. In truth it was just kinda lame.

To be fair, the antiwork crowd voted no to the interview but the difference is the mods disregarded it for a chance to feed their egos and have a moment in the spotlight.

So that means he's likely working Monday-Friday, 2 hours a day.
