Chris Ott was a canary in the coalmine for the leftist psychopathy that would occur during the 2010s but by no means should he be seen as anything but a pretentious faggot. What happened to him was a shame, what's worse is that now contrarianism is hecking cool and based and the left sees no issue with continually eating their own. If anything he exposed once and for all that the adage of "name and shame" doesn't work if you're kicked out of the club.

FINISH THE CURE PODS CHRIS

Video essayists destroyed the whole site.

>>127541738
it's called a vlog, zoomer scum.

>>127541761
No it's not, millennial dummy. Vlogs were just videos of people talking about shit. Video essays are sold as analytical and in many cases academic.

>>127541778
>Vlogs were just videos of people talking about shit.
yeah, that's what chris ott's videos were.

>>127541788
Yes. We no longer live in the world where people like Chris Ott have even a noticeable following. It's all about FD Signifier saying absolutely nothing for hours and demanding you see him as some sort of smart blackademic.

>>127541839
i get your point now, i assumed you were saying ott was an og video essay maker contributing to the death of the site.

>>127541337
chris is a rare breed man, his knowledge and perspective is always on point. i miss him bros

its over bro

his lack of comment on songs of a lost world is damning

>>127540659 (OP)
Chris Ott videos are like Keith Jarrett improvisations... heavy, spiritual, ecstatic, behemoths of deep exclamatory truth, burning with the fires of orc.

What happened to him?

>>127540659 (OP)
Something something cabitalism le BAD cause people looking out for their interests which totally isn't the entire story of the human race, something something pseudo armchair proselytization something something it was totally different 20 years ago when I was young blah blah blah yap yap

I miss him bros

you looked out for your tribe. even wild animals have community oriented decision making abilities.

He was raped.

Nothing more than an outdated collectivization of risk a la insurance, repackaged and sold to ennui-stricken malcontents. You don't have to pretend that your useless dipshit cousin is worth engaging with for quite some time now. But there's always the commune lifestyle or the Amish, if you're ever done larping

dude took his entire personality from john cusack in high fidelity, seemingly unaware that the point of that movie is that people like that are manchild assholes.

>>127541839
FD's new video about black villains is so shit.

i like chris but he thinks its still the 90s and selling out is uncool. real gen x shit. P4k was bought by conde nast and embraced poptimism, bands have to sell out now because they dont make money from music. why do you see rappers like selling shoes and shit and like how indie rock used to be in car and ipod commercials.

>>127551602
you could get in the van and eat one taco bell burrito per day like black flag or fugazi.

I like listening to his thoughts even if I don't agree with them, but he comes across just as naive as he claims other people were at the time. He has misplaced optimism about the internet that we own it and what individuals are capable of that he should've already realized was an illusion. Yes, you don't need to go through the traditional avenues but it doesn't materially change anything about finding success.

>zine culture and all these tropes and things that all these bands now are trying to say is still alive, it's not. because that stuff was about needing to communicate in a world where we did not own communication channels that that dichotomy is over. we have the internet now so you don't need to go magazine and i don't need you to make a zine for me
>[context about selling "cool" to advertisers and media] you're responsible for the world around you, and you're not making it better, you're making it worse
