Reddit won’t appreciate getting called out like this, but this is fucking hilarious.
There’s been so many times where I’ve seen something on the internet and it turns out Phil Jamesson was behind it. The Mario Essay for instance. Perchance.
I came directly from youtube to check if this video had made it onto r/videos yet. Not disappointed.
Ah, Reddit. The website of original personalities and unique tastes.
Break the meta, death to pop!
Can’t wait to repost this in 15yrs as the greatest reddit trolling of all time
I’ve never been more proud
Karma whoring is really easy, to the point it’s boring. The Reddit Hive Mind is predictable.
Is this someone also trolling or is it someone responding to the troll?

lmao when I saw that post at the top of videos I was like really. the OK Go treadmill video again? Fuck sakes. So I downvoted that bitch. But I’m not high and mighty I’ve probably upvoted typical reddit bullshit plenty of times over the years
Yeah but you see, I’m not like the other redditors. I’m not so easily swayed
Motherfucker I didn’t even notice the “no CGI” bit was moronic
He got me good
He’s describing all the crap I scroll past to see content I want. Subscribing to smaller and more dedicated subreddits helps a lot with this. That said he’s dead on the money.
To be fair though, is there a social media platform that doesn’t behave similarly around reposts and the like?
Now post the song “In Hell I’ll be In good Company” in /r/music.
also “which celebrity do you hate” in /r/askreddit, and then spam “James Corden, Ellen, Travis Scott” on the comments
Fuckin amazing. I saw that post and was like fuckin seriously? This shit again?
Reddit is incredibly easy to manipulate. I’ve had multiple accounts with >1M karma, it’s pretty easy to do if you just post things like he did in this video. I wonder if people would be interested in videos showing how to speedrun to 1M karma
“I ‘member” -‘member berries
And everyone loves Meta shit so watch this go all the way to the top too
Using a single subreddit and saying “it’s a website for…” is asinine.
The whole beauty of Reddit is the myriad of diverse subreddits and how they all function differently.
If you’re going to use the single “website” analogy then consider each subreddit like a different website.
In short; **you’re using Reddit wrong.**
If you don’t like /r/videos… unsubscribe and find a video sub which caters to whatever “new creator uplift” content you want.
It’s just stupid to be surprised that *a subreddit with 26 million users* caters to the lowest common denominator and pretend all of Reddit functions like that.
I guess the next dramatic exposé will be that /r/AskReddit has a lot of thirsty posts or reposts. Shocker.
Key point here is celebrity worship OR hate. Nothing gets reddit going more than the feeling of intellectual superiority from hating something.
See /r/music /r/games /r/books /r/movies …
That said, the music video was novel at the time but ultimately didn’t hold up and Ok Go makes boring music. Please give me my intellectual credits.
*Chef’s kiss*
This sub has been horrible for years. I was wondering recently if it was just because younger generations prefer short-form content and that’s why r/videos is just nostalgia and frankly uninteresting posts. This sub also used to be one of the best subs and now posts don’t get that many upvotes relative to other subs seeming to indicate that engagement on reddit with this sub has gone down a lot.
Unfortunate because I would love to discover more long form content I like and my youtube algo is frankly kinda shit.
Oh god damn it Phil
TBF, despite his efforts to mitigate it, the fact that he’s livestreaming this and his audience is bound to go upvote it gives it a massively increased chance to hit the front page.
still makes a good point though. I think that’s kind of the issue with a massive, generic subreddit like “videos”. Only the most broadly appealing, instantly recognizable content will rise to the top.
I’ve always felt that subreddits scale terribly. Every subreddit that I’ve seen grow will eventually reach a point where the frontpage devolves into low-effort memes and “remember this?” posts.
I’m a simple man. I see OK GO music video, I upvote. Simple as.
I love how the same pictures and videos will rotate on Reddit every other week and everyone acts like they never seen it before
Meh. I don’t know why people act like they can’t get their head around why popular things get reposted and are still popular. With this video is it a case of celebrity worship or people just upvoting something they think is cool. People can take the moral highground on a website if they like but If I see something I like I will upvote it instead of checking my spreadsheet to see if I have gone past my nostalgia upvote limit for the week.
How to bait reddit part 2: post content making people feel smug and superior
Complaining about the default reddit subs is stupid. The site is best when you pick subs that represent the niche interests and hobbies you have. Of course the default subs are gonna be filled with generic content.
This video is like someone who spends 10 minutes complaining about how bad music on the radio is, while still listening to the radio. If you hate it so much, turn it off and put on the music you actually like, dumbass
I absolutely love his video on counter coffee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlVtyMgNHk
Getting roasted is getting posted!
Thanks Machiavelli!
/r/videos is kinda trash.
