X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad (mashable.com)

May I ask what kind of stuff you created?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My big hit was "The Skeletor Show." It's still on YouTube. But I did many other things on the account before deciding I didn't feel like making comedy videos anymore a few years ago. Occasionally people post asking me to please come back, but I don't know that I ever will.

I will say that it did get me some jobs when I needed work, which was the original goal of the show anyway.

Oh I remember this! A buddy of mine was making a similar style show during roughly the same period using the classic Star Trek cartoon. Similarly Sealab 2021 influenced.

Very nice and thanks for the reminder.

Wish I could share my friends work, but he always kept his videos private. He would occassionally open one up so I could check it out, but he would always make them private again. I should have been using yt-dl to download them all.
