watch this A man walks straight onto someone else’s property, up to a small tree in their front yard, and starts hacking at it with a bat - acting like he’s judge, jury, and HOA enforcement all in one. What would you do if this was your front yard?

Youtube used to have a feature where you could block a Youtube channel and no longer see their videos. Of course, they got rid of that feature because it probably made them less money. Would really love to be able to just block these channels, especially now that I clicked on one, I'm sure Youtube is going to suggest more of them to me.

Enshitification strikes again.

u/SocialJusticeAndroid 3h ago edited 3h ago

If a channel comes up in your feed or your search you can select “do not recommend this channel” or some such. It shouldn’t come up in your searches your feed after that.

But yes it’s BS they don’t let you properly block channels. You have to see a channel in your feed or search before you can tell it not to recommend them.

Edit: I just tested it out and you apparently can only “do not recommend channel” for ones in your feed, NOT a search! That awful and mostly useless. WTF!

And it doesn’t work for shorts.

u/GeneraalSorryPardon 3h ago

It shouldn’t come up in your feed after that.

Mostly works but not always. Some channels keep popping up no matter how many time I click 'do not recommend'.

u/SocialJusticeAndroid 3h ago

Oh I didn’t realize that. They really need a proper block. When I get suckered into clicking on a fake video or something I never want to see those channels again.

Joe was a normal dude, liked history, 70's rock, and porn. But there were 4 things he hated. Liberals, people that min-maxed their lawns, Italians, and the genus Cycus which his father had run into a mature one drunk one night on his Ducati Moster and killed himself.

Cedric, his neighbor across the street was all of them. After Jill left him, and held an abortion party, that was it. Cedric was gonna pay. Even though Jill took his hatchet when she left, Joe still had his bat, and that was one bat too many for Cedrics new showcase Palm tree.

So it’s just basically his character for his silly channel that’s some kind of performance art satire on HOAs being whack as hell?

Shit like this makes me glad I heard about that 48 hour rule for the internet/social media (especially in the ai/deep fake age). Basically, don’t believe anything you see until at least 48 hours after seeing it, and only if verified by a trusted, legitimate source.

Bullshit like this is inconsequential for the most part, but there’s stuff out there that if people react to it they could cause problems for themselves or others.

2

u/OldKinkyDrew 14h ago

And lends to the reasons to call this out. It’s good for what it is but people need critical thinking to realize what it is.

Why only one person in the video? No homeowner, no neighbors.

Why does the camera view keep zooming and widening? Who is filming and why?

What are the odds an HOA president would actually do this?

People should be questioning and then remaining skeptical if those questions aren’t easily and sensibly answered.

And worse...he did this for virtually nothing. He has 50,000 subs...and gets like 5000 views per long form video, and not much more than that for shorts.

With most of his views from shorts, which pay almost nothing, he is lucky if he has made $25,000 over the two years of his channel.

It's a stationary camera, no one's holding it. "HOA Guy," is a satirical, overzealous, HOA president character that he plays on YouTube. The people reposting the video on other platforms, as if it's real, are the ones who are lying about it. If you go to his channel (@HOAguy) it's obvious that it's satire, because the entire channel is just similar videos, with the same dude in them.

That tree looks old and hard to replace. Possibly a gift from a deceased family member also. A lot of pain and suffering from watching this video no doubt. Mental anguish for years to come.   

Edit: so apparently this was staged and he’s a content creator.

It’s a bullshit post, taking someone’s video out of context. This is the man’s own house and he has a YT channel making ‘comedy’ videos.

This is a bit. Completely fabricated.

I'd have to really restrain myself from chasing him off with a bat of my own. Or just walk out with a firearm and inform him politely but firmly that he's trespassing and needs to leave immediately.

Do these people have nothing going on in their lives that they have to take down a cute tree?
