All the Negative people.

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Didn’t bother to watch. As with most new Trek, there is way too much negativity out there. I’ll just watch the show, form my own opinionand then watch videos on “things you missed” or “Easter eggs”. I enjoy watching Trekculture as it’s more lighthearted and not very negative.

TrekCulture is a corporate joke.. earning millions of views due to the fact that it is basically WhatCulture. Why not support the smaller, hardworking channels that talk about Trek in a less superficial way? What you a re doing is everything wrong with fandom and YouTube

You mean talking about it in a way that is more inline with your views...

Most of them just waste time by reading articles to the viewer that they probably saw already, or repeat things 20 times to make sure they got their point across, while talking and acting like Mariner XD

How do you feel about the Dutch?

How about I support no Trek YouTube channels because I see little being added to it? With an exception to Ketwolski who seems to invite discussion by participating on boards. YouTube channels do not sit well with me, in general, because of the lack of discussion being generated. Feels more like an echo chamber. And a very small one at that.

I’ve found that I enjoy Trek better when I don’t interact with the fans very much. As for Lower Decks...eh is all I feel. And it makes me sad. But I know not to say anything negative about it.

Because...people will disagree? Why not just get it all out?

That’s silly. There are things to criticize, just don’t expect a lot of traction if it is a stupid complaint.

Indeed. Bill and I rarely agree but still can be nice to each other...

...as far as he knows...

I would mind that last cup of coffee if I were you...

A lot of YT channels have ridiculously dramatic headlines to page clicks and views. They need it to sustain their business model.

That’s a problem with a lot of fandoms, not just Trek.

 

[Aragorn]

Is it just me or are all the angry talking heads on YouTube who foam at the mouth about Gene's vision being destroyed the kind of people that wouldn't be welcomed by the Star Trek they claim to love?

 

[fireproof78]

Honestly, it strikes me as missing the whole point of Star Trek which is humanity coming together to celebrate differences not push each other away because of them. It's why things like "Not Real Trek" (trademark pending) irks me so much is because that's pretty much antithetical to what Trek espoused.

Welcome to 21st century America.

Hardly a new phenomenon. As you so fondly like to remind "comparing is a natural human activity."

 

[Aragorn]

The latest Star Trek has too many easter eggs. Shows that they have nothing worth telling and are only trying to pander to the fans.

The latest Star Trek doesn't have enough easter eggs. Shows that they don't care about the fans, brand or history and is Star Trek in name only.

Did I do it right?

Or a broken record of repeated complaints

I watch several of the Trek Youtubers, but when I want a real discussion of Trek I come to these boards.
