Book reviews

What do you think about Pewdiepies book review videos? Are they worth watching?

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoRlp3--ckU

[Anonymous No.12212038]

Just a reminder to the 9 year old army that this month's book is The Woman in the Dunes by Kobo Abe. You have about a week or so to read this before the next Monthly Book Review video where Pewds will discuss his thoughts on it.

I think it's sad that questions like this one even come up and that over 70 million people regularly watch and seek opinions of a 30 year old NEET college dropout that tapes himself playing video games.

No. He just vaguely describes the plot and states whether or not he liked it. Not much in the way of actual insight and full of spoilers if you haven’t yet read the book. That said, there are a lot of good ones in his lineup.

I get the impression he barely plays games. He basically forced himself to react to them to build a viewership on yt.

I never called him a gentleman or a scholar, he's an everyman whose success showcases the absurdity of our times, and he voices moderate and nascent opinions.

Why should 70 million youtube viewers be watching scholars? Common people seeking "authoritative" personas is inevitably leading to the normalisation of demagoguery and propaganda.

Should have likely just stuck with too old. The point was that he is very similar in the average 4chan user, in that he is a late millennial/early zoomer completely raised on the internet that failed to develop any tangible life skills and is now stuck with having to live his life online, while simultaneously being well aware of how dumb and childish it all is and that he is ultimately a failure in life.

You're a frustrated neet, who posts walls about "normies", "wage slaving" and being "to smart" in the middle of a workday on an anime website, and sincerely believes C-suite execs live the lifestyle of nouveau-riche rappers and 80s stock brokers. The cringe inducing kindergarten-tier larp with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in strongly indicates someone quite underage and/or developmentally stunted. The fact that you're completely unable to imagine independent entrepreneurial or creative activity even in your wealth-filled fantasies suggests you're hopeless and any reasoning is futile.

You took it to a spooked extremes by seriously invoking notions of human development and Africa against Northern Europe despite no one asking for it. Even if we were to take his text at face value, you'd be answering a personal value claim (emotional deep sensitive soul who yearns for more from life) with something completely unrelated (civilizational development).

>Whats the diference between that and the "Le X and Y are spooks dude" buzzword meme that he said
wtf dude everything's the difference here. "hurr wat is diferenz betwen we wuz kangz and we wuz vikangz" could be a legitimate critique if you didn't sit on your hands and immediately kvetch about spooks like human progress.
