Yes, It's Really That Bad

I've been a consistent YouTube viewer since about 2009 or so. During my working years, I mostly worked from home and had a job that didn't really require hardly any brain power. YouTube provided a distraction during my working hours that kind of kept me from losing my mind from sheer boredom. I still was dying of boredom all day long, but YouTube did as good of a job as it could to provide a distraction. YouTube is a natural fit as in my childhood years all I really did was zone out in front of the TV for hours upon hours. Cable had become a thing in the mid-80's and I consumed as much of it as I could. Watching TV and eating wasn't my favorite pastime, it was my only pastime. I had to go to school and do as little homework as possible in order to be able to watch TV without interference from those who simply relegated parenting to the boob tube. So YouTube has become the new cable TV. And it's much more appealing than cable as ad blockers remove irritating commercial breaks and there's an almost limitless supply of content. Almost.

There's almost no content about those who live shitty lives. The closest you can get is channels about suicide prevention. These channels highlight those who claim to have found hope in lives of cold, harsh reality. The reality where I aimlessly wander around. There are plenty of self-help channels, all of which are run by charlatans who are looking to make a fast buck by selling their coaching platforms and 'consulting'. The iteration that mostly appealed to me is the red pill and content creators. I originally found this content in about 2010 or so. It started off with MGTOW and Paul Elam. Paul had a fair amount of content, but when the term 'Red Pill' got traction, Rollo Tomassi and his disciples, such as Rich Cooper, popped up in my YouTube feeds. Rich had figured out that by pumping out enough content on hot topics, such as single mothers, he could attract a lot of viewers. He also found out that by projecting an image of a wealthy 'alpha male' who could attract any type of woman he wanted, he could sell consulting services for an obscene amount of money. I think he charges something like $800 per hour, but the last time I checked was in 2016 or something so those prices could have changed. Because he was first to market, I think he actually gets these prices from clueless and gullible men-children. Regardless, I cannot find channels that I really can relate to. Channels about those who have potential that will never be realized. Channels about those who were dealt shitty hands, a pair of twos in a world dominated by full houses, straights, and royal flushes. A channel about the silent majority of American men.

Now there are 'black pill' channels, but those mostly are for men with bottom of the barrel looks. Weak jaw lines. Short. Ugly. Hopeless in the women department. Those channels are for men who would rather complain than try, which, to be fair, is probably the best option for most of them. Black pill channels have been associated by YouTube as incels, or those who are so pissed off about their situation that they go on killing sprees, hence, they are nowhere to be found. If you search for black pill channels, you only find content creators who dunk on them or lecture about not becoming black pilled.
