Ryan Reynolds youtube channel is an exemple in how bad 99% of advertising campaigns are. Almost everything he posts are ads for his companies or ventures, and not only am I subscribed but I eagerly watch every content he post as soon as I get the notification. A part of it is that it's funny and well made, the other parts is that the content doesn't have that "bullshit ad" factor, I don't know how to explain it, he knows it's an ad, you know it's an ad, nobody is hiding from it. And you will find that 90% of comments under his video are saying the same thing I am here, the guy has essentially made watching ads fun. (also, some of his Gin ads are hilarious, like his "Ryan Reynolds' Vasectomy" cocktail recipe)

I'm not sure you can blame advertising campaigns. Ryan Reynolds' 'thing' is being self-aware that he's Ryan Reynolds doing something. It's basically the M.O. of Deadpool. He makes it look easy, but I'm sure it's hard to replicate.

  The T-Mobile acquisition video makes that painfully evident.

90% of YouTube comments are hive mind borderline bot generated "direct quote from video" foam finger NPC I'm with stupid verbal diarrhea. His videos/ads tee up such comments which are social proof to further draw in more viewers that generate more such comments.. and now "ads are fun to watch when Ryan does them". He gets a pass, fine, sure, but goddamn.. I watched (and yes, enjoyed as a guilty pleasure) a few of those and YouTube recommended me this crime against humanity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap3JGsCAu9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap3JGsCAu9A I never thought I'd say this but there is such a thing as too Canadian. Enough already. Go kick a cat or something to balance it out. At the same time, I recognize there is a lot to be learned from that guy. God I hate marketing. And humans. I mean love. Everything will be fine, just remain positive. Edit: Not to self, stay in your lane Kowalski. Stay. In. Your. Lane.

  hive mind borderline bot generated "direct quote from video" foam finger NPC I'm with stupid verbal diarrhea Using commas between adjectives would help with readability to optimize your content engagement. As it stands, it can be difficult to distinguish between adjectival phrases that use nouns like "foam finger." Since diarrhea can be foamy with integrated gaseous contents and I guess can be initiated with a finger (maybe?), it is unclear if the phrase should be "foam, finger, verbal diarrhea" or "foam finger, verbal diarrhea." https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/204202/can-the-oxford-comma-be-used-with-a-list-of-adjectives-of-the-same-type https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/204202/can-the-o...

        Apt username, haha. But you can't impose your finicky grammar unto rants. The lack of commas was a deliberate stylistic choice meant to express grumpy breathlessness. I am like James Joyce. Or Dr. Cox from Scrubs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlMWVwAHll0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlMWVwAHll0

        It is a fine thing to hold one’s HN comments in such regard. I’m not so ant-footed to impose anything but submit an offering for your consideration should you wish to geld such a lilly.
