CGP Grey turned me off of vexillology

Sounds like someone's jealous they'll never know what tier Grey put the Supreme Court of Canada flag in...

bigjoel.bsky.social•87 days ago

If that’s not a tier he’s a fool so it means NOTHING to me

mraristocrates.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yeah you should only see these if you're already looking at the channel, like in the full list of their videos. Putting them in recommended is absurd

cryptidsloth.bsky.social•86 days ago

Putting the Canadian flag in S tier is wild that shits ugly as fuck

imperatorg.bsky.social•86 days ago

im biased but nova scotia not being in the top is criminal

The Yukon flag has a lot to offer too I’m quite fond of the husky

imperatorg.bsky.social•86 days ago

yeah that ones pretty solid. at least cgpgrey recognizes the red ensign flags as pure garbage

simpleduckman.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yes YouTube, let me grab my wallet so I can watch this internet know-it-all be condescending about another country's flags

Also imagine dedicating precious home feed space that could be filled by discoverable content you can watch RIGHT NOW to something you can't watch at all. Same goes for recommending premiere videos that won't be watchable for 2 days!

it feels like it puts the creator under additional preasure because this video looks pretty boring to me. Because it probably is. Because it's just a fun bonus for supporters and not something to make me support him.

hell, i can already see almost half of the results of the exercise in the thumbnail anyway

trickeyjoe.bsky.social•87 days ago

it’s so scummy, i feel like way too much of youtube’s business model is being like “hey look how annoying this website is when you’re not paying”

aureliaverity.bsky.social•87 days ago

That's weird because I remember that video made available for free a whole back, and yet YouTube promotes the membership only one? https://youtu.be/G6wYSpLtwRI?si=wuriqOO3wrR2DkXE
