Dunno if you know, but freebooting the content of other creators is wrong. What's this "freebooting" you're talking about? Well, basically it is downloading a video someone else made and re-uploading without the original creator's permission and usually without their knowledge and getting paid. Basically its the theft of the intellectual property of others for one's own gain. Many channels make use of this nefarious activity to divert views from the person who posted the video (on TikTok, YouTube or one of many platforms) and slapping on monetization so you get paid, because Daddy needs to buy that new car, bay-bee! I've noticed some of the videos of Soggy Cereal , a YouTube creator with a sweet audience of 314K who has been posting since November 2022. He has 59 videos up as of today and points out examples of alleged plagiarism, fraud and your usual scam artists. Not just YouTube drama but he's trying to shed some much needed light into some of t...

Yeah, the new Spaceballs 2 trailer's a little slim, a little lean in content, but it looks like the movie, the sequel (or it it prequel?) might hit theaters in 2027. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it yet. Looks like the legend himself Mel Brooks (he's what, 147 yrs old now) is going to be involved which you love to see. No word who from the original cast which be available, but we know, no John Candy (RIP Barf). Still, hopefully we'll get a smidgen of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) or at least a cameo. There is so much they could do with this movie given all the time that has passed since the original was released way, way back in 1987.  In case you haven't seen Spaceballs (my goodness you've led a sheltered life, haven't you?), here's the original trailer. There's TONS of clips from the first movie all over YouTube that you can watch to bring you up to speed. Also, one of Brooks' other classics from around the same time "His...

Yeah, I guess I am an immature guy after all because even though I carry myself with the self-assured nature of a mature man, I lose it for jump scares or things like air hork pranks. Here are some new videos that hopefully you haven't seen yet that somehow found their way into my YouTube feed. The best is when you're scrolling and stumble into a good air horn prank and you tumble down that diversionary rabbit hole and then you realize as you wipe away the tears of laughter that you've wasted an hour on this stuff. Take a look. And here's some more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWbp2dNdBo This one always freaks me out. A doll that moves on its own would be scary as anything you could imagine. A dang possessed doll? The later ones in the video linked below of grabbing peoples' feet from under their beds I find really hilarious (which makes me sound like the weirdo I guess) but it is funny and I cannot help but laugh at their reactions. Take a look for yourse...

A new trailer for the upcoming Superman movie just dropped and it looks amaze-balls from what I've seen. Directed by James Gunn who you may know from all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, which he directed as well as The Suicide Squad . The movie opens July 11, 2025 and will be available in IMAX and stars David Corenswet as the man of steel (and Clark Kent, natch) and I have to say I'm liking the visual aspect of Gunn's version of Superman. Not the staid, kinda static look we usually seem to get but a hectic, herky-jerky, manic movement action star. The action parts in the trailer roped me in and crushed the rather stoic, slow-moving expectation I had and Corenswet has the look for the roll. But you're not on this blog post just to read me fanboying, so take a peek for yourself. Loving the action scenes and odd, off-kilter perspectives which sort of play up Superman's strength and innate power. Plus we get a deeper reveal of arch super villain, Lex Luther,...

If you use Adblocker to remove advertising from your video feed you watch on YouTube, the platform might just pull the rug out from under you, just stomp it's feet and go home. Or maybe it won't load on your computer, phone or whatever device used to view content. There's long been something of a push and pull between the YouTube user and the platform when it comes to the ads served up for the free patronage you as a viewer has enjoyed. For most, its almost like a love-hate relationship. Everyone loves the ad revenue but can barely tolerate seeing all the ads. Here's a video from one YouTube content creator, DeepHumor , who raises some concerns with what he sees YouTube rolling out as they strive to combat the pickle of user retention vs keeping or increasing ad revenue. DeepHumor is a longtime content creator having been uploading to YouTube for the last 7 years. He has generated 125,000 subscribers and posted 925 videos. He's put in the work, so his concerns n...

Once again it looks like podcaster Joe Rogan was duped by fake archeology. Joe, who has had many interesting conversations with a wide variety of people on his popular JRE Podcast (and you can watch many of them on his YouTube channel on that link) but sometimes he throws out a bit of a clinker, facts-wise, like this one clip he had with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers about fake Egyptian hieroglyphs but gets fact-checked by Dig It With Raven , an actual expert on Egyptian archeology who swoops in to refute most of the points raised by Rodgers with facts rather than unproven assumptions. Raven points out that they're talking about hieroglyphs from a temple of Seti I at Abydos, Egypt and that these symbols that look like modern machines (helicopter) were caused by erosion of plaster placed over the original hieroglyphs when Seti I's son Ramesses II renovated his Dad's temple. Now they look astonishingly like modern helicopters, submarines and even (gasp!) a UFO! But, nope....
