Adam’s target audience must be teenagers. That was hard to watch.
I remember watching him as a teenager and thought it was the coolest show ever. Now I don’t think I can watch him. So I guess his target audience is different.
YouTube recommended this video, and based on the thumbnail alone it looked like sensationalist garbage. I didn’t watch it. I think it’s because i watched a single video about “de-googling” and now the algorithm dives straight into the rage-bait deep-end of that topic.
I love angry comedians… but you weren’t kidding: That was a brutal watch. He makes some decent points but he presents it like Jim Cramer crossed with a 10 year old making fart jokes.
Google may have ruined the internet but this guy Adam ruined everything.
This is true.

What happened to Adam Conover? I used to actually like his content. I probably agree with his message, but IDK because I only managed to get 2m45 into the video by skipping and playing double speed, and I’m not watching the rest.
I don’t remember him being so loud and aggressive. What the fuck’s up with the poop jokes?
He does longer format (i.e. 1+ hour) where there’s much less animated energy but still lots of cursing. Some of them are interesting (because of the guests), but he’s too full of himself and comes off as unlikable
I think people overlook how much of the internet Google helped create too, I kinda feel for them fighting against endless scammers, manipulators, gifters, etc. They’ve made a lot of peoples lives easier without charging them for it, this disproportionately helps poorer people more especially tools like maps, translate, and search.
It’s always a little amusing when grandiose anti-Google claims are made on a platform owned by Google.
Its about reach… You go to the place that has the most place for your message to be heard if getting your message heard is his priority.
Oh I get that, I’d do the same in his position. I just literally meant I found it amusing.
Dude… You gotta use some way to explicitly say youre joking and not being critical. I personally like to use
/s
to say sarcasm or just in general not serious just being a silly goose.
Yeah, I guess my comment did come off like that. Oh well, live and learn.
No worries mate
