Yeah, I’ve heard reports from a person who is part of the Palestinian diaspora who took a genetic test and was unaware that the company they did it with was Israeli. They got back results stating that they were approximately 50% in a broad Arab category.

They redid their genetic test with a non-Israeli company and got a much more accurate Levantine result.

Make of that whatever you will. Maybe there’s differences in how they analyse the data but I would be wholly unsurprised if an Israeli genetic testing company was making a concerted effort to erase Palestinian identity by fudging results to skew the interpretation.

Need money to live ig. Probably the only company that wanted to sponsor a video this bold. Unfortunate that it’s israeli though…

Would be hilarious if they weren’t told what kind of video the sponsor section would be in. Doubt any of Hakim’s viewers will click on that.

for me, it’s giving the same vibes as the military running ads on hasan’s twitch stream. that’s just a donation at that point, you don’t really have to worry about hakim’s audience being susceptible to this i think.

If you’re actually seeing sponsor spots on YouTube that’s kinda a you problem

That’s all true, but I don’t even consider adblocking to be high level power user stuff so much as basic bare minimum usability.

He didn’t know it was an Israeli company and apologized in the comments

@YaBoiHakim 1 hour ago

I had no idea, I’ll cancel the planned integrations. The contact person that gets these ad integrations knows I don’t accept Israeli sponsors, so I assumed they checked. I’ll be sure to talk to them too, thanks for letting me know!

He says in the comments that he didn’t know and will adress this.

Bold isn’t the goal though, getting people to change their minds is the goal.

This type of title sets us up to get lost in a semantic debate (is the incident a “massacre” or does a better word fit?) or argue a technicality (“no one died in the square itself”). These are the worst ways to convince people of anything: a skeptical person has endless outs, pinning down an objective answer to semantics is almost impossible, and by the time you get to more meaningful points you’ve wasted a lot of time, attention, and credibility.

Create post

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
