If you want to hear more of that, he was on a Mega64 podcast shortly after the Tommy Tallerico video and a couple episodes of another podcast called Please Stop Talking
Hbomb is a curious case because normally channels that rarely upload have a VERY hard time keeping up. He managed to build enough hype that every video is a massive event
@@KOTEBANAROT Hbomberguy and early “BreadTube” (sorry) creators must have a high subscriber click through rate. Their audience don’t mind waiting 1 year for a 3-hr documentary. The annual upload gets millions of views, and then the algorithm picks it up, too. I’ve seen dozens of videos reacting to/referencing his plagiarism video. You can’t buy that kind of engagement.
harry: assumes every other video essayist is more professional and intimidating than him also harry: is the most professional and intimidating guy in the room
@@-swxtchblade- Highly recommend him. He goes wild in his video essays. His last 2 have just been he disappears for a year then comes back with evidence that ruins peoples career (they deserve it dw). Like he outed a known video essayer for plagiarizing pretty much every script they've made from other smaller creators.
I think Hbomberguy saying he was nervous to meet up with D’Angelo and Mina because he thinks everyone else in the space is more professional and skilled than him might have killed my impostor syndrome for good.
this was such an unexpected and charming selection of people. I feel like the on their channels they all seem so confident and potentially intimidating but they were all such sweathearts
it’s unexpected because of how little overlap each of their essay topics have but at the same time it’s kinda expected if you see the way they carry themselves in their videos ykwim?
I think the best part about this is that its nice to not see them exist in the vacuum of making solo videos and actually see them interact with others and bounce their thoughts off each other
For me D'angelo may speak about drama in the sense that so much worth commenting on tends to be dramatic in some way, but what's different about him is his ability to break it down, strip it of the sensationalism social media tends to add to it and then deliver it in a calm, rational and relatable way so that situations aren't outshined by the celebrity around them and we start viewing the humanity in the problem and the real life consequences or lack thereof. Critical thinking and common sense are things we don't really see anymore in the 'typical' drama channels so I appreciate a person who will call a spade a spade without bias or fear of uncomfortable truths.
I think its because in his own videos he only has a front facing camera and here you can see him in a lot of different angles and also he’s smiling a lot more :)
"Turns out when you're the youngest person in the room for 10 years, you become the older person." I dont know if this even makes sense but I felt it deeply.
12 minutes in. Academic here! Fields such as Media Studies, Folkloristics, and Cultural Anthropology are catching up with the online world (most academics are terminally online as well). At least the Chicago Manual of Style has begun incorporating online/social media post formats as primary resources. I cited memes in my dissertation in folklore studies, it can be done! There are free quick citation guides provided by different institutions that are updated yearly. I personally love using select CZcams videos in class along with podcasts as supplementary materials to reading. Each of these has to be carefully selected, vetted, and their bibliography checked. It can be done and provides fresh lively discussions. I know quite a few people who use HBomber and PhilpsophyTube when teaching at a university level! :) Loving this video btw!
Oh, that's brilliant! That would have made my life easier when I was at uni back in the day. Figuring out how to reference internet ephemera was a nightmare. Also, memes and folklore, that absolutely slaps.
cool thing about people like hbomb and abi thorn is that not only are their videos S tier, but they _deeply_ encourage you to seek out the sources they cite for yourself to the point that it's really easy to use them as jumping off points for research too i get a lot of freedom essay-wise next semester and i'm excited to just go ham with citations lmao
8:42 I'm sorry but asking a guy who went into a 4 hour rabbit hole about plagiarism on youtube if he fact-checks the content he consumes is extremely funny
It was also funny when they brought up the Wikipedia thing, because he also went into DETAIL about how lazy video essayists and plagiarists use Wikipedia.
Mina, Hbomberguy, and D’Angelo together got me to click on this channel for the first time ever! Shout out to whoever’s idea it was to get these three together!
D'Angelo talking abt honing English + writing as a way to be able to explain anything in a way people can understand like he really read my brain with that one wow
It's true, though. I don't play video games, I had never heard of Pathologic and that video haunts me and I have never thought of eggs the same way again.
One quick comment about the academia comment: we don't look down on the Internet! there are many, many parts of academia actively looking at the internet, and we have been for just as long as the Internet has existed. the popularity of older academics (who focus more on their area of expertise, ie typically older topics) and the time it takes reference styles to update can make it seem like academia looks down on the Internet, but I cannot emphasize how much that is NOT the case. it also just takes a second for people who want to talk about newer topics to get through the peer review process. there are academic articles about video essays that were written over a decade ago!
yep, the journal i published to included video essays as a format option. and mla and apa formats includes tons of detail on how to cite from the internet. the internet matters in academia and is valued as a source of info and culture
17:30 I wouldn't consider Smosh in that same category as "content farmers" -- they are entertainers, and they come up with skits and faux-games to entertain people. The three essayists are a mix of entertainment and actual education -- I wouldn't consider Smosh to be competing with or parasitic with essayists.
I agree. I would consider content farms in this type of question to be like iilluminatii used to be, or similar types of commentary channels. Going to their answers, I only really knew iilluminatii in that type of video, because I'm a big fan of video essays, and when I suggested my friend to watch a video essay after she told me about iilluminatii, my friend said it was too long and she didn't feel like watching it, so at least between myself and that friend, they're exactly right.
Well Spencer is a bigger athourity on it than us as he's involved in producing it. I think he's right because content farm isn't a negative thing unless you give it that association. They do make frequently producable, reproducable shows, unscripted content without many props needed on pit. The quality comes from the amazing staff they hired. I feel they're like a good tv show while the 3 essayists are making movies. Both are great entertainment in their own right and have the same retention of audience because we trust the creators. As for content farms being necessarily in the essayists lane, i think that's only one genre of content farms while Spencer probably compared to content house content
@@janewaysmomilluminaughti was probably content farm-lite, mostly cuz she still (sadly) knew the writers of her videos. I am not exactly sure what the definition of a content farm is though, and it does very much seems she made her videos just for money.
He posted a group pic from vidcon this year, on his community tab and dispelled that. This reminded me of the caption on that pic cuz I never thought about his height😅
It's nice to see hbomberguy interact with other CZcamsrs like Mina and D'Angelo, he really seems respected and appreciated within the community and deservingly so.
Fun fact about Inferno, its basically the foundation of Modern Italian. You can read it in Italian today and understand it (if you speak Italian) and I know because Ive done it. Incredibile piece of literature. Also very much written out of spite. Half of it is just 14th century Flourintine politics. Its great.
"when you're the youngest person in the room for ten years, you become the oldest person in the room" is so true though. Often times, it's closer to two years, especially in rooms with high turnover rate.
I’m a student at Oxford University and honestly believe CZcams video essays are one of the most effective tools for learning. The combination of aural input, visual stimuli, subtitles (if you want them), and narrative result in a remarkably high amount of memory retention from the perspective of the person watching. In Oxford my friends are always impressed by how much I know about a wide breadth of topics - some of them relevant and some of them irrelevant to my own research focus. Also, video essays are obviously not by default reliable sources, but people do seem more cognisant of that fact than any kind of written research or news article. Those can be full of BS but just because it’s written in an academic font you should believe it? Even a lot of peer-reviewed studies thrown around on the internet (including CZcams video essays) all the time just cite a single study with a limited sample size. People, including myself, are simply not trained to be able to read between the lines to the extent necessary in modern society. I know enough about it only to say that I don’t know enough; we should always remain skeptical.
I had this thought weeks ago, questioning if it’s “ethical” to use their video for education content. I followed Mina Le, oliviasun, Shanspeare(and the other videos I find interesting) and I wouldn’t be surprised if these people helped me formed thoughts in clear and accurate as possible for the half of decade using CZcams(and using English in this platform all the time)
I don’t think any of these people even count as drama channels they all make essays a drama channel is someone who reports on drama in it’s simplest forms
I don't know about these days, but years ago D'Angelo was most definitely a drama channel in the most generic sense of the word. I stopped watching him, but maybe his content got better.
@@sarkaztik3228Yeah, I remember he started off doing art and art drama videos, then transitioned to 10 minute "topic of the week" videos and now he does longer form video essays. If you enjoy deep dives, I'd recommend checking out his newer content.
Sometimes it’s drama but cultural analysis and politics is not drama and calling out crimes (like the Cody ko or Shane Dawson videos), or talking about TV and video games, isn’t drama. So I don’t think they’re drama channels, but sometimes they cover “drama”
INCREDIBLE essayists to have on! It feels like videos being photoshopped together. How do these three people exist in one room Love how now it's THE plagiarism video
Hbomb just chatting is so cool to hear because his videos always seem to be a full arc (esp his more recent ones) I really enjoyed seeing everyone here!
Seeing Hbomberguy interact with anyone outside of his usual space is like seeing a teacher out at the mall.
But it's your favourite teacher talking to your like, favourite librarian, so you're both mystified and delighted
If you want to hear more of that, he was on a Mega64 podcast shortly after the Tommy Tallerico video and a couple episodes of another podcast called Please Stop Talking
@@matthewbrooks5470what episode of mega64
He was also on an video with LegalEagle
Look, I get it, but us teachers like to go to malls too. Talk to me, I'm a person. Introduce me to your parents.
Side note: I find Mina Le very positive rather than negative. She's such a passionate fan of art, fashion, and creators behind it all.
same!
She is fantastic, and I never get tired of just looking at her because she has such a personal style.
gotta be honest, not used to seeing D'Angelo in a normal environment and not just the upper half of him

HOLY SHIT HBOMBER GUY AND D'ANGELO WALLACE IN THE SAME ROOM????????
I KNOW! Plus Spencer, all my worlds are colliding in a way I never expected... on a video together sure but PHYSICALLY in the same room? Never! 😂
what is this a crossover episode?!?
I follow D’Angelo and HHbomber guy, but I never knew about Mina. She’s delightful and intelligent. I need to check her out.
Same
I had seen hbomberguy before but clicked because of Mina.
Damn you got hbomberguy?
Nice
Your based for gd pfp
@@theplayer7127 epic freakin chungus pilled
The Ben Shapiro Wall Break being not planned makes it 10 times funnier
I remember watching D’Angelo when he just started, cool to see him widely recognized within his field!
I can't believe anthony padilla got me to see hbomberguy in a video again this year 🤧 ty anthony
INCREDIBLE essayists to have on! It feels like videos being photoshopped together. How do these three people exist in one room
Love how now it's THE plagiarism video
D'Angelo has no right being so damn cute
D'Angelos hair just keeps getting longer its so pretty
Funny seeing them talking about being cited, my university feminist philosophy course had a Mina Le video listed as a required course viewing lol
Which one?! Haha so cool
@@lilanh was at edinburgh uni lol, and it was the femme fatale video
this video is stacked dude
So nice to see Miss Mina featured here! The doves are beyond happy to see this, for sure!
Mina Le appreciation!!!
Everytime I see Hbomberguy I have the itch to rewatch the New Vegas video
This was set to autoplay and the SECOND I heard D'Angelo I whipped my head around and gasped
The scary realization that if this was filmed like a year ago, Illuminaughty might have been here 💀
Hbomb just chatting is so cool to hear because his videos always seem to be a full arc (esp his more recent ones)
I really enjoyed seeing everyone here!
Also I have definitely mentioned and cited both hb and D’Angelo lol
D’Angelo is so tall oh my god
I am a simple man. I see D'Angelo, I click
having these three sit down together when i would never have imagined them interacting is wild. d'angelo is a precious being
D'Angelo looks GOOD
D’Angelo is so pretty wtf
D’Angelo has such a beautiful smile wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile lmao
I started watching d’angelo in 2020 and he’s always held himself with so much poise and passion for his topics, i’ve always appreciated his opinion
