This isn't real, that kid is acting as some sort of viral marketing ploy to get him a part in some film.

maybe i've just become too jaded but yeah that's what I'm afraid of too
but i [i]want[/i] it to be real!
No, it's so obviously fake.
Then again, I can half expect a news article about this kid saying he brought a gun to school and shot up a load of kids.
[QUOTE=morey;930789]you come too?[/QUOTE]
nah, just spilled my drink
[QUOTE=morey;930789]you come too[/QUOTE]
Come where?
Morey you're scaring me.
This kids a good actor.
I don't like what he's doing though, because there's kids like that who go through hell in high school and shit, and he's exploiting them more so than he is highlighting the cruelty towards them.

I suggested that very early in the thread, when I said I like to watch his "last blog ever" as though it's a casting contest for the new Goonies. I do that in my mind because it lets me enjoy a stellar performance, instead of feeling bad for him. If it's contrived, then he's one hell of child actor, maybe the best I've ever seen. That's why I think it's so unlikely that he's acting.

I am completely the opposite on this point. I believe the kid is imaginative, but socially inept and a tiny bit slow in the old processor. I believe he's wearing his real emotional reactions on his sleeve in these video blogs. But I [i]wish[/i] that it wasn't real, and that he's a good enough actor to fake it all and take me with his skill. All props to him if that's the case, and I hope he gets a movie deal out of it, but this scenario seems more fantastic to me than taking him at face-value, somehow.
Maybe he over-acted his excitment and goofiness just for fun in some of the early ones, but I don't think he's 'acting' at all in the "last blog ever."

i smell "sweeps week" !
I don't feel like watching the 10 minute one where he's playing basketball. I mean I watched like a minute and lost interest. If anyone's watched it can you tell me if he spazzes out at any point and smears himself with chocolate syrup?
Wow, the new video is too much. I LOVE the way he stops to fool with his braces for 20 or 30 gooey seconds. I'm also not buying it anymore. If he were really self-conscious about his image, and driven to abject rage by negative comments, then he'd be so self-conscious about looking good on that comeback video, that he would have re-done it after fixing his mouth. The little poseur. I'm too good natured and gullible about 80 percent of the time.

Oh hey, check this out, [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEzQVyFbfUE]an expose.[/URL] I'm giving it to you guys before I've even watched it.

I like the expose guy's voice-over skills. He has the "obsessive shut-in" thing nailed!
Now he needs to do movie trailers: "In a world of, um, some people with guns and stuff, these guys clearly chase this one other guy around for being a great big phony, as evidenced by the following video stills."

I'm wondering if we can expose the exposé guy as just a jealous rival for Sophia's love. Now that would be fun.
VP - Workshop Dog
The expose guy is really a guy with a rich, full life who's just masquerading as some guy with a little too much time on his hands as a part of a viral marketing ploy!!
(I'm pretty convinced that Angry Nintendo Nerd is is a creation of the Heineken corporation, tho)
What's Daxflame trying to promote, though?
[QUOTE=Spike;930864]What's Daxflame trying to promote, though?[/QUOTE]
I don't know. What was the lonelygirl15 thing trying to promote? I missed the press on that one. But I'm thinking that they establish the character as a sort of brand mascott before introducing (or morphing the character into) the finished, saleable product. It could even be test marketing/ groundswell promotion for a "Daxflame" movie or whatever. They'll pretend like the kid was sincere instead of scripted in the beginning, but so compelling that it won him a movie deal. Think of it as a cheap, exciting way to build press for the next Napolean Dynamite, or whatever.

I really like that one.
They could do a clothing line off of him too. And a soda. All the kids would buy it.
Everybody wants to be a dork (no offence towards anyone).
I don't think so. Unfortunately the world is filled with some very sad and confused people who just need to get something off of their chest.
If I had a cam and the net when I was his age I'm sure I would do something like that. There are probably certain individuals in the cult whom also have a video web log.

I take it then that you find "UTubeDrama's" evidence unconvincing. How about the timeline problems, the Christmas Break Discrepancy, and the kid making five of these things before actually posting any of them, even though he's super-excited, spasmotic, and demonstrates very little patience in most other ways?

I'm sorry, if there are these "UTubeDrama's" then I have no clue about them.
(I blame my lack of interest in current events)
I can behave that way, nd so can most people that I know. It's a focused outlet for one to let out one's feeling, yet still retain annonimity.
I never got a movie deal for behaving like a teenager. But maybe I missed out on something...

I'm just talking about the little expose video done by somebody with that user name on You Tube. I linked it in the second post on this page.

If you think I'm some curmudgeonly prick who wouldn't give this Dax kid any slightest odds of being sincere, then you really haven't read this thread at all. Did you watch two videos linked on the first page and then skip to the end of the thread?

Well, you did. If you're anywhere even close to my age then you were a teenager long before there was such a thing as viral marketing on an internet, the least expensive way ever invented to rope-a-dope by the thousands.

Well, my good friend, I did watch the videos, and have been loosely following the thread.
(If you look back then you'll see my responses to these, perhaps I didn't respond to the second one)
And unfortunately I am NOT near your age, I could probably do a convincing viral marketing scam on the wberverse.
But for what ends?
I don't want to make some people who don't know me feel like the know me.
If this is a viral marketing scam though, it's working so well!
We even have a thread devoted to our good friend Dax

YouTube co-founder says site will begin sharing revenue with users
Posted 1/27/2007 11:25 AM ET
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley made news at a meeting of some of the globe's most powerful people Saturday, announcing that his wildly successful site will start sharing revenue with its millions of users.
Hurley, who became fantastically rich in November when the company he started was bought by Google for $1.65 billion, said one of the major innovations that the site is working on is a way to allow users to be paid for content. YouTube has become an Internet phenomenon since it began to catch on in late 2005. Some 70 million videos are viewed on the site each day.
"We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users," Hurley said. "So in the coming months we are going to be opening that up."
Hurley, one of the youngest Internet multimillionaires, gave no details of how much users might receive, or what mechanism would be used.
It won't be the first site to offer such a deal. In October 2005, Revver announced plans to attach advertising to user-submitted videos and give their creators a cut of the profits.
Revver has said it would split the ad revenue evenly with content creators.
Hurley said that when YouTube started, he and the site's other co-founders — Steve Chen and Jawed Karim — felt revenue-sharing would build a community of users motivated by making money, rather than their love of videos.
But that as the site has grown, they have come to see financial remuneration as a way of improving content.
Hurley spoke on the last full day of the World Economic Forum, which brings together the world's political, social and business leaders for a five-day schmooze fest on the problems facing the world.
At 30-years-old — a milestone he reached only this week — Hurley is one of the youngest participants at the meeting.
He appeared on a panel that included another bright new face in the Internet, Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, as well as Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates and others who discussed the future of Web. 2.0.
Fake's photo-sharing start-up was bought by Yahoo, and is the fastest growing photo site on the Web.
The panel discussed the incredible potential of the Web to bring the world closer together, with Gates saying that he saw particular potential for education and health care.
But they also talked about the challenges ahead, including how to protect intellectual property and set up a system of micropayments that will make it easier for companies to charge for content, as well as ways to protect privacy.
The panel also discussed the dangers of another phenomenon of the wired world, the rapid posting on Internet sites of cellphone videos like that of the hanging of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein hanging that can cause outrage and unrest, and are virtually impossible to control.

Did anyone watch this one? ^^
Wild experiance:
I'm with my friends tonight, and they were talking. All of a sudden, one of them is like, "dude, do you watch Dax?"
Shocked, I'm like, " Uhm, duh! He's great isn't he?"
It seems my friends were the first two veiwers of his latest update. They commented I think. I don't tell my friends about the cult. They'd think I was weird.
