Breakdown of Midnight's Edge Roundtable About Alex Kurtzman

I watch Colbert’s monologue. That’s about it.
I learned to play the tin whistle from youtube, from an awesome Jesuit I never would have encountered otherwise. It has its good aspects but the lack anything done about rampant hate speech, is going to harm a lot of people, long term.
 
it's just more lucrative as a youtube to hate something. no matter how a new show is done, the momen you have angry rants about that show, you generate more clicks. For channels like ME, for youtubers like Doomcock the actual content and/or form of Trek is irrelevant, because whatever form it takes, whatever content it transports, generating clicks by angrily ranting about it is their business model.

I am aware. It makes me cringe that people can make money off of such garbage.
 
I think if TOS or TNG had aired today, Midnight's Edge would've found some way to trash them. I also think if they re-watched either of those shows today, they might not like them as much as they think they do or remember liking them.

I say this because TOS and TNG are optimistic, positive shows, while ME's mission is to look for blood anywhere they can find it and read the most negative possible things into everything. That's not what Star Trek's about and definitely not the Star Trek they hold up as pillars.
 
I’ve been to the HQ of Midnight’s Edge. I know their plug-ins.

Ummmmm.....

I think Midnight's Edge sucks, they're horribly biased, I think they need to change the whole way they do their stories, interviews, and their entire outlook. I think they're not credible at all and make no effort to be objective whatsoever. They need to change everything about themselves.

And that's as far as it goes.

What I look at on Yt...
Trains (Hobby & Real) ... Mini-golf players ... Bill Maher's "Over-Time" ... Piano players ... Bob Ross ... Movie/TV Trailers ...Graham Norton and 10 hour relaxation sounds.

And that's more than enough to keep me busy without having to watch "crazy-eddie-like" fools rant and rave about nothing.
:cool:
Music videos...from the 80's.
 
The ten-year-old in me is screaming in laughter at the "Doomcock" name.

The thirty-year-old is too, for that matter.
He's rather delightful at times. I think he knows he's fleecing the obsessives.

Speaking of delighted, the Midnight's Edge folks have to be delighted that y'all keep bringing them up. You're furthering their aims quite well.

What they do should come naturally without any assistance. Just remind them to wipe front to back.

I haven't watched his videos extensively, but a perusal of his videos and tweets yields a lot of complaints about political correctness, SJWs, Mary Sues, the un-importance of representation, and all the usual buzzwords lapped up by those in the man-child / alt.Right sphere, who seem to be a major source of his fans (who seem to take great pleasure in skewing YouTube results and other review sites), which is where I part ways, even with an otherwise outwardly amusing character. Not saying all his fans are like this, just a large sample from what I've observed.

Considering he sat through a two hour plus roundtable discussion by them, took their positions seriously, shared their video here, and made a lengthy rambling post with his thoughts on the video, I would assume the OP who brought them up was already a fan of Midnight's Edge rather than someone who doesn't like them. And most of the other threads I've seen posted about their videos have also been by fans of theirs or trolls looking to rile people up with one of their more outrageous claims. Now if it was someone who wasn't a fan and just shared their video here to complain about them, that criticism might apply.

And yet we're almost one hundred posts into this one.
