Is XQC Actually This Dumb? |
'''Original video:''' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V42n5PLmvKk Is XQC Actually This Dumb? (Subtitles For XQC Available)] |
xQc: Our reactors are valuable. I'm gonna react to this. Impressions exposure, always 100% disturbed. What? What? Did you ask for the apple? If you want to be picked up? Yeah, youre like a sexual harasser, you’re like a sexual predator. |
What? How does that make sense, and you say, dude, your analogy doesn't play. His analogy, like, nope. Trickie, down fuck economics whatever he said, what would it have got that? React not mixed, trick or trickle bound. What the fuck is that, what is..? He is actually a communist. |
'''DarkViper: '''For those who don’t know, this is XQC, the most watched streamer on Twitch.tv. I see the appeal. A significant part of XQCs day is spent restreaming other people’s YouTube videos to his audience, which makes him one of the largest reactors around today. It is therefore understandable that he took an interest in charlie’s videos that he made in response to my script criticizing react content as exploitative. Less understandable is everything he said in response and I don’t just mean because of how he speaks. |
xQc: I'm just going to say, guys, if you’re playing a game, you’re react andy. I said it. Same concept. |
'''DarkViper: '''Obviously there are many distinctions between simply reuploading an already produced video and using a game as a platform to create content. The most important part of course is the value that you leave behind when you show a YouTube video to your audience, it's done, you've shown the start, middle, and end, there's no reason for them to go anywhere else or seek out the original. They've now seen it just on your live stream, even worse, you're about to start another video, you're about to do something else in your stream so they don't want to leave and miss what you’re about to do, you're a direct competitor to the experience that the original is, trying to give but the viewers are already in your live stream, you've got the home field advantage, they're not going anywhere. |
'''DarkViper: '''With videogames on the other hand, it is impossible to extract all value from them. Not only are they so expansive that it is effectively impossible to keep a viewer long enough to show them the entire thing even if you tried, you can never take away the value of playing the game yourself. You will always leave that value on the table that can inspire the viewer to want to grab it by seeking out those who made the game. '''DarkViper: '''Every nanosecond you stream a video game is an advertisement for an experience that a viewer can only get somewhere else. Content about video games are not perfect substitutes for those video games themselves, but a reaction to a video is a perfect substitute for the original. Also, try just booting up a video game and reacting to it without actually doing something. You actually have to have some input to create content using a video game as a platform. With reaction content you can sit there and do nothing. You don't even need to be in the room, you can be asleep and the quality of the content will be basically the same. |
xQc: Game companies could DMCA you at any given time for playing their game, on stream you're literally playing a game that somebody else made, it's literally their game and you're playing it. I don't know what you’re going to say, react gun is bad, it's not like not great right, but nothing is pure, except for just complete 1% creative, that's not only a good take, it's the law. React andy react andy everybody is a react andy, it is what it is dude. |
'''DarkViper: '''My guy, either matters or it doesn't. If you're willing to sit there violating the law on a day-to-day basis clearly you dont actually think the law matters, so why are you talking about it when it comes to determining what people should or should not do on any of our platforms? This should not be news to many of you, but while the law is a force of socialization and thus influences what we eventually end up considering to be right or wrong, it is not absolute. Each of us is not walking around with 90 law books in our back pocket, consulting them at every turn to make sure we are in accordance with every law written the last hundreds of years. We do things that we personally feel are justifiable, and only consult the law when we believe it will influence the consequences of what we want to do. If we think something is justifiable to do, you weigh up what you see as the risks versus the rewards of violating the law. It is like if they passed a law tomorrow that said you personally are not allowed to eat or drink. You’d ignore the law, considering it unfair, rather than follow it and simply die. XQC feels himself justified to perform the actions he does, regardless of what the law says, so he does them. Like in regards to copyright law he said “Why do people act like DMCA are going to do sh*t?, showing that, while he knows he is in violation of the law, the risk to him was minimal thus he went ahead with what he wanted to do as he considered the reward worth it. |
XQC's argument ultimately boils down to asserting that all illegal actions are equally justifiable or not. Like mass murder and stealing your roommates milk are ultimately the same because they are both illegal, as if no other distinction matters. Given that actions can be judged by more than by their relationship with the law, this is obviously not true. |
xQc: It's not always about need, it's about want. Sometimes, other than that, I like, a lot. And I want to share this with chat. I want to do that. I don't need it, my channels are not going to die, I'm not going to be obscured forever. I could get more viewers into other things by playing another game or something. Like I said, I want to watch that, I watch that with chat, i wanna share my passion dab, so, this? What, chat has nothing to do with it, never done anything. Sometimes that's even more than the video itself, because I'm more passionate about the thing that it is, that's how it is. |
'''DarkViper: '''…every person in existence has wants and the mere existence of a want does not justify every and all actions necessary to satisfy that want. You want 100k, your grandmother has a 100k life insurance policy, it isn’t justified to push her down the stairs to get it. What is important about what XQC has said here is that it clearly demonstrates he is not acting for the benefit of others, he doesn’t care. If he harms others, helps others, who gives a shit. When he speaks about the effects of react content as being beneficial to others later on, this is beside the point and is spoken to get other people off his back to enable him to just do what he wants to do. There are endless actual ways XQC could provide exposure to other creators, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself so does not do these things. Even if he accepted that what he does ultimately has a negative effect on everyone, I doubt he’d change one iota. |
xQc: From this comparison chat, we should go ahead and shame every movie director, right? That went on a piece of land and films on a street, they didn't build, then own, then create them, then put the cement and the grass and grew the grass in the plants, which are good, because they didn't make it in their studio and built it themselves. Shame them. How dare they bother you. Get mad! Basin taken. |
'''DarkViper: '''If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe” - Quote from Carl Sagon. It is true that everything in existence is built using something that we did not personally create, but this does not mean that everything created has equally required the efforts of other sentient creatures for it to come to be. If I spend 6 hours on an essay, this is not the same thing as a person copying my essay word for word, just because neither of us created the paper that we wrote upon. Things can possess the same quality, without having that quality to the same extent, which can massively impact how it is perceived. I suspect XQC would have a preference over whether I gave him a glass of water or drowned him in a bathtub, despite that I would in both cases be giving him water. |
xQc: A classic old school cannibalist. Argument, dog shit. People think that reacting to the videos is cannibalistic in nature, which means that it eats them, right? And, what they eat is taken, okay, it's like, oh guys, you’re gonna get ten, okay, I'm five now, i'm gonna join, I cannibalize, right? I get three plus and you get minus three right? But that is just simply not true, it's been proven, it's been said, it's been done, i can give you guys hundred of examples about how react is rarely, very very rarely, and if not, barely can have a sticker but on the other side it is most of the time beneficial, both ways. |
'''DarkViper: '''But. Where. Do. The. New. Viewers. Come. From?Within any exchange between two parties there is a possibility of externalities, which can be seen as effects that happen to individuals not directly involved in the exchange, but who are still impacted by its existence.There are a finite amount of people, and a finite amount of time that they have each day. Anything a person does to bring viewers to themselves necessarily takes those viewers from whatever else they would have done absent that effort. When you use react content to keep yourself live long, expending less energy, increasing the quality of your content, you are taking your viewers from doing whatever else they would do if you did not perform that action. While the reactee can suffer when you react to their content, where they most suffer is from every other reaction you do to other people. As they then just become a part of the wider market, and therefore you can pull people from them to yourself with your reactions, just like from every other creator. When reactees support react content, what they are doing is playing a game where they hope that they can gain more viewers with that individual exchange, than what the rest of your reactions to other people will steal from them. It is a stupid game where they can only lose long term. The amount of viewers you have doesn’t decrease, and often increases, where do you think those viewers are coming from? A magical portal to fairyland? No, they are coming from other creators who you are syphoning from with your react content. Both the people you react to, but everyone else as well. |
xQc: Just again, it's just such a simple context. Guys, if somebody gets 500 views, okay, how many chats are subscribed to this guy? Theres probably about one or two, okay, by the amount that, we steal will be two right and the amount that he’s going to generate for the people watching is incredibly larger than two and his next video now if youve never subscrbied itll be like ramp the fuck up, if youre going to go with analytics this argument falls flat in space man. |
'''DarkViper: '''As I explained in my previous video, the vast majority of views do not come from subscriptions, instead they come from the algorithm, they come from recommendations, the recommendations which react content directly steals from everyday. Reaction content takes recommendations from other original content creators, even if you've been reacted to once, there's one reaction video with your content in it. Great, that does nothing to prevent all the other reaction videos from taking recommendations from you and to be absolutely clear, i'm not convinced even that reaction video of your content is increasing your recommendations anyway. |
xQc: I'll give you an example. Ill use “level bing bong fuck your life mother fucker”, hey, we were watching that. Fuck, well, that thank you viewers. We were watching it, ten thousand views and, was there now everything “bing bang bang ba” fuck you wait, hey we were there at the very “fuck you” beginning of this shit okay? Oh my god guys, they only get two kv’s now because you want them, right? Boys, people watching this shit. |
'''DarkViper: '''I don’t know what this means, I guess he is talking about a meme, song, or a clip, and given that those are infinitely rewatchable they will benefit more from reactions than most other forms of content. It wouldn’t stop them from being syphoned with react content in general obviously. But that individual with that meme or that song or that clip can potentially benefit. Again, as a whole everyone still suffers, but that person will likely experience more benefit than they are losing at least, I suppose in the short term, I guess in the long term they’d still love. I guess it would just take even longer though? |
