  • I think it’s partly marketing … very clever marketing and brain hooks … I just went to the comic website and looked at a few comics and yes most of them show that number and the cleverly hidden objects. But some of the comics don’t have the same number of hidden objects (eg: some list 5 but you can only find 4) … unless I’m doing it wrong and I just can’t see it.

    If the artist did purposefully list 5 things but only show 4 … it would drive viewers mad trying to find something that isn’t there. It would also become a very memorable comic because it would bug people so much they would keep going back to it again and again.

    It’s like that old college/high school prank people used to pass around years ago … you release three big fat dirty pigs into a school and let them run wild. You spray paint each pig with a number … 1, 2 and 4. Chances are authorities or school workers will find the three pigs but they’ll take a bit of extra time looking for Pig #3 before realizing it didn’t exist.











  • It would the sign of a good group of talented writers … to constrain them to a 20 minute slot and still make an entertaining and informative show.

    I’m with you on the 20 minute format … I constantly scroll through shows thinking I just want to sit down for half an hour and watch something fast, then go do something else … instead I end up scrolling for half an hour and then giving up, getting up and go do something else. Or else I’ll watch half a 40/50 minute episode and watch the rest later.




  • I think its done by design to drive people away from using a browser where people have more control and the website has less control (of course depending on the skill and patience of the user)

    Having a shitty service on browser and on certain devices just drives people to view Youtube more and more on self contained smart services like Smart TVs or dedicated viewing devices.

    I use Linux, firefox and have ad blocking extensions … and sometimes Youtube just becomes unusable


  • That was all easy to see … the question is … why? … many different people across many different communities are able to do that and they probably do without us knowing.

    The question is why this individual or group are doing this now.

    And I temper that with the message that I don’t want to put anyone in a corner, I’m just curious as to what is happening because I think many people are thinking the same thing. You guys do great work and I have a lot of fun here … I just get worried when stuff like this happens because it might be a sign that other things are happening.




  • Can anyone comment on what is going on … I watch the posts often enough over time but if I leave for a week, the whole landscape can change so dramatically. Sometimes I feel like this community is an episodic show and you have to tune in every day in order to stay in the loop … otherwise, if you skip a day or even a week, you’ll miss out on several storylines in the background that got recently introduced.

    I like everyone here but it gets confusing and even disturbing when things are happening in the background that we don’t know about it.
