Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh man. Blue sky. Let's look at the past five years. It is, it's pretty much over. It is at the lowest point it's been at since before the election. The sky's over? That's right. The sky is not blue anymore.
Starting point is 00:00:19 So I guess I'm having like an easy eye horror moment because I have apparently set a chain of events in motion behind the scenes that have resulted in the entire collapse of the platform, as Blue Sky. Yeah, maybe I'm making it sound a little cooler than it really is, but I think you'll enjoy what we're about to take a look at in this video. So you may have seen this back on June 12th, either on my Twitter account or directly on my channel here. As I had said, I made a video about how Blue Sky is dying and then Asman Gold reacted to it. And now the entire Blue Sky subreddit is in damaged. Oh, ho ho ho ho ho. Control mode. Indeed, we could see a screenshot from the Blue Sky Subreddit. No, no, it didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:01:00 the moderator making the title, Asman Gold made a video about Blue Sky dying. We are aware and we are removing post by his fanboys. Have a nice day, mod team. Locked post. Have a nice day. Not be posted. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Things didn't end there. As a few days later, one of the top posts for the month on our Blue Sky was made. That post reading, Blue Sky is supposedly dying. But who's really behind the rumors? And they link to an article from Google trends and graphs. that's who's behind it. There's like graphs and data. I don't know why I'm at.
Starting point is 00:01:34 You need a YouTube video for that? Some website called blueskyhunter.com. That really comes off like one of those AI slop article websites. But of course, all the blue sky users in the comments are like praising this article. And you may know. That's all of them actually, by the way. As you can see, there's 97 comments. That's everybody on the website.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Notice smug Elena, the one and only right there. She's a v-tuber. And it turns out this is actually Smug Elena reacting to my video from earlier. the one I made about Blue Sky dying. So once again, these people are mad at the person reacting to my video, but they're not actually mad at me. Now, I think this is because- That's what happened with me and Elon with the POE thing.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Elon took away my checkmark, but he didn't take away Quinn's. I remember this very clearly. It's such a hive mind. They never want to actually see anyone criticizing Blue Sky. And these people are some of the quickest people to, like, ban anyone who has any sort of slightly dissenting opinion. of course and or any opinion
Starting point is 00:02:31 that's critical of the platform at all or that goes against the hive mind so they probably don't even realize that these are reaction videos they just see
Starting point is 00:02:38 people criticizing them and they're not watching the videos because again they can't stand to see an opinion that's different from theirs so they just like see the title and thumbnail
Starting point is 00:02:44 and rage about it and then they see like put in this article and again they're not like watching the videos they're just like raging about the title do you enjoy having
Starting point is 00:02:50 such influence over stuff like this I knew that making a video and talking about it one of the worst things to do with a social media platform is to show that it's dying. Because as soon as you show that a social media platform is dying,
Starting point is 00:03:05 then it actually starts dying. That's the next thing that happens. Because nobody wants to be on a social media platform that nobody's using and is losing users. So in a way, I'm speaking it into existence by saying that it's dying. Or at least I'm making it happen faster. Somebody's got to take it out to the back of the barn. Why not be me? thumbnails. But the reason this is like especially funny though is because my video I've got a funny graph was talking about posts on their own subreddit. I didn't just make up that blue skies dying. I was literally talking about posts from their own subreddit where people were talking about the deactivated last week. That's right. The analytics falling like statistically. Daily active
Starting point is 00:03:47 users not a good sign how it's like not good for artists how the artists are not getting. Responses are way down. You know, a whole variety of stuff like that. And again, this is all from them. So I make a video about what they're saying and then people react to it. And then they get all mad and act like it's not even like factual information or anything. They say that people are just like making this stuff up and it's clickbait. And they're stupid. I mean, it's simple. I don't know why he doesn't understand.
Starting point is 00:04:09 They're just stupid. They're just making up bullshit and they're stupid because they're mad that they're getting called out for their thing that they like dying. That's the reason why. Take a look at this top comment here. Fucking duh. To be honest, their, it's dying campaign was very obvious since it started very suddenly out of nowhere. If I was genuinely, if it was genuinely dying, why would they care? so much about it they clearly don't concord instant argument that invalidates this in a second
Starting point is 00:04:39 mind what a stupid thing to say since for them number of bots is all that matters so i even pay attention to a dead what a dumb thing they clearly want something hope this just isn't a campaign to try scaremonger who are these people hope this isn't just a campaign to try scaremonger blue sky owners into selling a relaxing moderation yep they're gonna relax model my gosh People are freaking psychos. I make one video talking about posts on their own subreddit about how blue sky engagement's like falling. And they start coping saying it's like a, it's like a whole campaign against the website. And then they start talking about how the campaign, that's not even like a campaign.
Starting point is 00:05:15 It's like something they're making up is manufactured by MAGA. Manufactured by MAGA. This is 171 updudorinos. One day the red MAGA hat will be viewed about the same way that the Confederate flag and the swastika are viewed. well i mean yeah it's already true i mean Kanye west has all three of them the freak are you talking about manufactured by maga that's their sop to anything they perceive as a danger or their cult daddy bro this is all users i want to take one like i've talked about so much voice actor stuff that i wanted to diverge from that for a day and talk about something
Starting point is 00:05:50 else and i saw all this blue sky stuff on the blue sky subreddit make a video about that and suddenly these people will start saying it's manufactured by maga somebody in chat really brings up a great point the fact that they're complaining about blue sky dying on reddit really shows a lot about blue sky if there are so many people on blue sky wouldn't they just be talking about it on there it's like some like campaign to smear blue sky to try to get the owners to maybe sell it or something like what the frick oh my gosh dude these people are so crazy we'll take a look at some more crashing out from these people in the comments and then we'll take a look at that slop article because that's also really funny look at this one i hate how many grifters have infiltrated the vtuber space
Starting point is 00:06:28 V-tubers. Grifter is when people disagree with you. Basically 70% MAGA in 2025. The reason why a lot of V-tubers are making content for people that aren't hyper-liberals is because the majority of people that consume V-tuber content are men and a lot of guys don't have those viewpoints at all. And so, like, why would, if you know that you're, like, why do you think every V-tuber model has huge tits?
Starting point is 00:06:56 it's because they're making the content for men and when you have a lot of men that have this viewpoint on the internet you know you're going to have obviously a lot of them that are going to try to make content for that audience because most of society isn't hyper-liberal yeah exactly I mean it's just it's common sense people join blue sky get insta to blocklisted and then want to cry because they get zero engagement with people
Starting point is 00:07:24 They want to invite attacks, get big trolling people, and it's not working because we simply don't interact with them. Bro, the source for Blue Sky Dine was you guys. What the heck? Grifters and rage baiters that are angry at moderation settings. They're the ones that are salty. I posted a few comments and posts after three weeks and got good engagement on all of them. Yeah, right. Uh-huh, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:47 There's like six. Six likes, probably. The platform is active and rewards good transformative content and discourse. anyone that says otherwise it's useful to go through their internet habits with a fine tooth come. Okay, so we got to go through the users on your own stuff. So anybody who disagrees with you needs to be investigated with their Reddit account, and then you're going to find out that they actually have other opinions that you disagree with, which means that they're wrong about everything.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, 100% guys. Reddit. And you will find that they're all shady accounts with shady people behind them. You know what these Gryfters wrong constantly? Yeah, it's the new Nazi. It's like the Spider-Man meme now where they're like pointing at each other. If Blue Sky was really dying, then the right wing wouldn't even care. It's not dying. That's a huge load of crap. Don't trust Republicans.
Starting point is 00:08:34 All they do is lie. So obviously, no, it's not some like MAGA campaign to criticize Blue Sky. It's ridiculous. But making it even more ridiculous is in the article by blueskyhunter.com, they actually talk about a post by the Washington, excuse me, an article by the Washington Post. For those that don't know, the Washington Post is a left-leaning news outlet. and the Washington Post article was also criticizing Blue Sky.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Of course. Are they going to accuse Washington Post of secretly being some like MAGA outlet now or something? Yeah, of course they will. People are delusional. Yeah, they're stupid. But yeah, let's take a look at this slop article that the Blue Sky users over on Reddit
Starting point is 00:09:09 seem to be really enjoined and propping up. It reads, Blue Sky is supposedly dying. But who's really behind the rumors? There's that preview image we saw earlier. They say, if you've spent any time on social media lately, especially Reddit or even Balusky itself. You've probably
Starting point is 00:09:26 seen the posts. Blue sky's dying. It's unusable for new users. It's become a left-wing echo chamber. But despite the doom and gloom, none of these claims hold much water when you actually look at what's happening on the platform. There it is. They don't like that. That graph
Starting point is 00:09:55 is racist, though? Oh, true. It's a white background. Yeah, right, bro. Cope more, dude. It's like the people that we were talking about in my video who are making posts on blue sky trying to blame the analytics lowering the statistics looking terrible for the platform on the weather they're like oh it's just because the weather's good that's why blue sky is doing so much worse now it's definitely i think also another reason is that blue sky is probably even lower than what it shows on google trends the majority of people
Starting point is 00:10:28 that are probably talking about blue sky on the internet are talking about it being dead and not even about the website itself. That's what I would assume. I talked about that take a lot further in my video. I'm not going to repeat all that. Yeah, it's not even about the website. There's the part where they talk about the Washington Post article. They say, where do the blue skies dying narrative start?
Starting point is 00:10:45 The recent spike in negativity seems to trace back to a handful of op-eds and social media posts. Most notably, Washington Post columnist, Megan McHardle, published a piece by moaning blue skies culture and tone, framing it as an inhospitable echo chamber. Here's a screenshot of the article titled, the blue sky bubble hurts liberals and their causes with the subtext the social media network was doomed to fail as users tried to recreate twitter i can't she's right she's completely right the entire thing because every time i go to this article some lame pop-up appears trying to get me like sign up to washington post and i ain't doing all that but i digress returning to blue skyhunter dot com now this slop article let's take a look at this section that's really funny titled so is blue i think a western media platform so will you advertise to Western minorities would have done better. Well, this is obviously advertised to minorities.
Starting point is 00:11:37 That's why they lost the election and they had to go over to this other website to cope about it. That's what happened. No, it's growing. They're literally a minority. Organically and sometimes awkwardly. That's what happens. But growing nonetheless. User counts continue to rise.
Starting point is 00:11:53 More developers are building tools around its open protocol. More communities are finding their footing. And then once again, the same note from earlier is posted again, where you're the author is desperately trying to get Blue Sky users to use their Blue Sky Hunter all in one tool thing. But then we get this absolutely hilarious section here. They say
Starting point is 00:12:11 what we're witnessing isn't just commentary. It's a coordinated propaganda narrative and it's being amplified by creators and media who have a lot to lose if Blue Sky succeeds. That's true. I don't want Blue Sky to succeed. I want to kill it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I think it represents everything that I don't like about the internet. And everybody that I don't like is a supporter of it. So yeah. No, you're right. Accurate. True. The loudest critics often aren't even regular users of the platform.
Starting point is 00:12:45 They're pundits. As a matter of fact. Following there. Or billionaire egos bruised by a lack of praise. That's not a sign of failure. It's a sign that blue sky is working as intended. Hater's going to hate cry. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Bro actually just type that out. Hater's going to hate? Yeah. year is this? Oh my God. This is if you log into Blue Sky expecting the chaos of Twitter or the viral dopamine hits of TikTok,
Starting point is 00:13:10 yeah, it might feel quiet or unengaging. But if you give it time, curate your feeds, follow interesting people, and build your own experience, you'll find a platform that's refreshingly human. Blue Sky isn't dying.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It's just refusing to play by the rules that broke the rest of the internet. I almost feel bad for these people, but I don't. Oh my gosh. Normal 40-year-old is particularly, yeah yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Coordinated propaganda narrative the dude says and in reality it's like Blue Sky users themselves complaining about the engagement going low. Well Blue Sky is built
Starting point is 00:13:46 off of the premise of a coordinated propaganda narrative because it's entirely built most of the people that moved over to Blue Sky moved over there
Starting point is 00:13:54 because they wanted Blue Sky to have certain opinions. That's the entire reason why Blue Sky exists in the first place is because of a coordinated
Starting point is 00:14:03 propaganda narrative. Like a few people making videos about that and like an op-ed here and there from some like news outlets It's very clearly not coordinated is my point like it's just people talking about was it in like the XTOS Yeah we can't have that though we got to say it's a coordinated campaign against blue sky from people who are terrified to see it succeed And I think a lot of us actually like would prefer blue sky to succeed because it's acting as a quarantine for some of the I don't I want to see I don't want them in a reservation I want want them out in the wild. I want them to be hunted. Not literally, but only metaphorically.
Starting point is 00:14:42 They have, like, these people are an endangered species. And that, yep, I want it to burn. Absolutely. Metaphorically. Uh, that's it. Alligator Alley. Yep. Most toxic, pathetic people on the internet. So that's a big plus. Again, there are like, not all blue skies like that. I've seen some, like, actual cool artists on blue sky just having a presence on there. So, like, I understand there are some people on blue sky who just want to try it out or like hope that we'd be better than like else we're on the internet so i i i you know i'll uh i'll emphasize that nuance when i'm talking about this stuff but the majority of stuff i do see on blue sky is either just like the same sort of slop you'd see on twitter where it's like oh look at this animal doing something
Starting point is 00:15:24 and it's probably some like bot account or something and then if it's not that it's just like the most extreme political slop you could possibly imagine and just some of the most pathetic people on the internet quarantining themselves away on blue sky which again um A lot of us. They have to. They have to or they're going to get bullied off the internet. That's what's going to happen. It's because these people, they have to stay there because that's the only place where they're safe. Or if they stay there, because it makes everywhere else better. And then from a content perspective, Blue Sky has actually been great. I've had so much content. That is a good point. Yeah. If Blue Sky, like, I mean, do you remember how many videos you made about Assassin's Creed Shadows and the game came out and, like, all that fun was over? That kind of sucked. So, like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:07 Maybe I do hope blue sky stays around. It's like a, you know, like a cow that you can keep milking every once in a while. Maybe that's a good idea. Maybe that's a good idea. Post about things. Like, look at this whole VA arc we've been on for like three going on four months now. Not every video has been about blue sky, but there's been plenty of times where we do source back to blue sky because these VAs like say the craziest stuff in their echo chambers over there. And it's hilarious take a look at and talk about.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So yeah, that's really it. I just thought this was all really, really funny. And I think I forgot to say this earlier, but shout out to Asman Gold. and smuggle land up. Both are very entertaining creators. Wish them the best. And thank you all for tuning in. Oh, wow. What a nice guy. Like and subscribing. Appreciate you. Have a great rest of your week. I'll see you in the comments here and in the next one.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Man. Defund and deport. Man. Ain't that something shout out nice? Yeah. What a nice dude. And anyway, let's see here. Trump's bill's been passed. I saw that before. And Facebook has 2.1 a billion daily active users. I don't know if that's 2.1. You're telling me like a third of, like a fourth of the entire world logs on to Facebook every single day. I mean, I don't think that's probably true, okay? So, yeah, let's see here.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Check the blue sky tab on Reddit. Yeah, I'll look at it in a minute. There's a video. Give it a like. I like your Ohio lot, too. He makes good videos and he talks about drama that I care about. So I think it's fucking funny. I am so glad to see blue sky dying.
Starting point is 00:17:33 and I have I for me to think that I even contributed 1% fills me with a tremendous amount of pride
Starting point is 00:17:42 I hate what the website represents I hate the people on the website I hate the rules of the website I hate everything
Starting point is 00:17:51 about the website so if I can do anything to make it worse I will do it so somebody wait there's no way they had to have seen
Starting point is 00:17:59 this right I've got to read the comments on this before it gets deleted Give me a second. Let me open it up. Okay, good. Give me one second.
Starting point is 00:18:07 So I'll read a few of these and we'll see where this is. And what's wrong? I still see ups and downs. Remember, Blue Sky has no marketing team. It grows organic and that gets good. Blue Sky does have a marketing team. Its marketing team is Donald Trump. That's why every time Trump does something, it goes up.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Oh, look, Asmond Gold is sending his goblins again. And somebody posts an emoji of a cockroach. That's right, guys. That's right. Everything on the internet that happens is because of me. Did you guys know that? Surprise. That's right.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Roach out? Yep, there it is. So the interest in blue sky has gone up versus over a year ago. Thanks for the info. Uh-huh. I have an account of 3,700 followers. It's dead on there. you love to see it not really used to anyone with that shit heap to begin with
Starting point is 00:19:07 good graphs don't look like that yeah i i don't think they do either and uh what is this here priority oh god we didn't fact fix the discover nobody gives this shit blue sky via website isn't working look at these nobody's even like this is the most active one moderation sucks. Blue sky is full of tankies, trolls, bullies,
Starting point is 00:19:37 spammers and terrorist supporters. Oh God. Wait, you're a Zionist, aren't you? Huh? What? What's this stupid bitch talking about? Oh, God.
