    That video isn't impressive and clearly wasn't made using professional

    slideshow of badly-edited images. The presenter's voice isn't naturally beautiful and he clearly has no experience in the art of announcing or narration. It's ungainly and needs a lot of work. The comedy falls flat;
    it's simple-minded and stupid. The message isn't important or
    revolutionary, it's mere pablum. The presenter doesn't put his face in
    the video and has no real stake in the nothingness he's communicating to
    the world. As an independent observer, I fail to see how this video
    achieved 21,000 views in only 8 hours whereas John Henry DeJong's video
    at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY6yqfoseG0 only has 75 views after
    2 weeks. It makes zero sense. John Henry DeJong's video is professionally-crafted with a meaningful essence and a presenter who has
    put his life and image on the line so that you know it's real, and the
    other is vapid fluff. There's no way any sane, rational person would
    claim otherwise.

    Your video was self-indulgent shit, John Henry. Buckley has built a following by having an actual personality and not constantly begging for cash.

    John Henry DeJong's video was an important piece of critical analysis
    which not only made sense and was well-crafted, but also offered novel
    insights and was genuinely amusing to boot.

    Buckley has built a following by having an actual personality and not constantly begging for cash.

    The first ten seconds of Buckley's video was an ad for his Patreon. The
    first line of the description of the video is "Support Buckley" with a
    link to his Patreon. The second line is a link to his merchandise
    page. The third line is a link to his bandcamp page which has tracks
    for sale.

    In the description field of JHD's video, you'll find... an actual
    description of the video. Go figure. His intro includes a link to
    johnhenry.us but no explicit funding appeals. Yet you think he begs
    more than Buckley. How? Instead of deflecting, justify your comments for
    once.

    Grade 6 intellectual level, horrible sound, washed-out video of someone who looks like Gandalf, and it has 75 views.

    The subject could have been explored even deeper, but that would require John Henry DeJong to step up his game beyond “send me money”.

    Grade 6 intellectual level, horrible sound, washed-out video of someone who looks like Gandalf

    Yet still somehow superior to Buckley's pointless nonsense.

    and it has 75 views.

    A reflection of the sorry state of our culture, not JHD's effort.

    The subject could have been explored even deeper, but that would require John Henry DeJong to step up his game beyond send me money.

    JHD packed a considerable amount into a five minute video. It's not a
    stretch to call it intellectually weighty. The brevity was designed to
    appeal to an audience with a deficit of attention.

    constantly begging for cash.

    You haven't produced any criteria for what constitutes "begging,"
    instead only offering a flat denial and an insult.

    You suck at this, John Henry DeJong.

    John Henry DeJong stated in a recent post that he doesn't hide and that
    he doesn't sock up and pretend to be other people. What did you fail to understand about that?

    He also uses Windows, not Linux. Stop being stupid.

    How is it superior? Your video is full of technical faux pas. It looks and sounds terrible.


    and it has 75 views.

    You have barely a dozen active followers on Facebook, most of them on limited or fixed income. You generate no buzz, are largely incapable of “going viral”, and consistently incapable of generating revenue.

    of Ubuntu.

    I suspect it’s because, unlike John, the other presenter doesn’t have a lifelong history of preying on - and abusing - vulnerable women.

    John DeJong is a sickening human being…
