But do you think the people making that video think it's porn?
Yes. Every thumbnail on the channel is of "big naturals" gardener girl Nicolle showing skin. The couple literally runs an OnlyFans account together to help with cash flow.

There are straight-up OnlyFans watermarks in the yoga videos Luka's posting lol

(I assume he knows this and is partially trolling)

I imagine they see it as slightly cheeky, possibly titillating naughtiness. I do find it interesting that this still exists when so much more is easily available. I think it's related to what I was saying in the Apple Music Thread about how you need things to be forbidden for them to be thrllling.

Well isn't this cos you're allowed to say anything you like now, no need to ask for a hotdog for your roll, just call it Ram Your Dong In My Cunt and you'll be good. As always there is a tension between the increased possibilities of relaxed rules, and the fact that allowing absolutely anything removes the need for subtlety and also arguably a lack of illicitness can remove thrills.

These videos feel like an attempt to put some rules back in it. It also feels quite sort of post-modern or something cos you gotta know that outside of these small artifiicial worlds the rules don't exist at all. But maybe you can forget that for a bit. Same as a rockabilly or northern souler or whatever gettting caught up in the music enough to momentarily imagine it's 1955 or 1978 or whenever you choose it to be.

I knew luka would be into prison youtube

Maybe cos he showed me a video. That's probably it. I just nick my taste off him.

yeh bit of both,
but also there's something attractively techno-primitivist about how the machinery is maintained at such an minimal level

& the variety of different processes & products keeps bringing me back, i have watched quite a few non-pakistani manufacturing videos too, some have comely presenters like that hippy gardening one
its one thing that is incredibly normal in south asia isn't it, well maybe other places as well i don't know, but the combination of industrial products and materials and the fact that your average geezer is outrageously good with his hands leads to quite a particular and modern relationship between man, machine and materials

That Paul Sykes doc is class, the pinnacle being his back garden recollections of swimming the Straits of Johor and punching a shark "rart in the fookin' earhole".

6. infected hooves


So I talked to my Wisconsin friend and she says she doesn't like this guy, he's not very professional or competent and he's clearly making shock videos. She says the good hoof channel is "nate the hoof guy"

I've undersold the comic aspects of this doc

Comment underneath:

"'I don't read daily mirror and sun, I go an hav a look.' I don't know where to start. The whole thing is like a cut segment from the film Get Carter. And Flint, the guy who sent him to Spain....I mean....you could not write a better character. Sat behind a desk cut from the front end of a rolls Royce that was also a drinks cabinet. Genius. Just fucking genius.:

you can call it porn, clearly its designed to titillate, but there's more going on than that. becasue there is no nudity it's a kind of blueballed or 'friendzone' porn in which intimacy is granted but no nudity or touching.

i agree it's a sort of softcore thing. knowing winks. like the carry on of now. sort of makes total sense that there's a space for this, because of the total colonisation of porn.

there's another channel i found a while back, and she does actually have a pornhub presence i think. so mix and match


this is a potential other youtube rabbit hole for corpsey - "vanlife" adventures

eg https://www.youtube.com/@Adz (and he also skirts the softcore porn thing a bit, cos he's often got a sexy companion)

i've watched most of his videos... i've got the exact same van as him

eg https://www.youtube.com/@sarahyak_ not sur eanyone could make it through a full video of hers, but i watch the shorts a bit
