 Ahoy, ahoy, and welcome to the channel. I'm Dr. Sumerian, not a real doctor, and today we are going to go over some SCP memes from the r slash dank memes from Site-19 subreddit, so let's just jump into them. You see an SCP article that describes a typical monster that brutally kills people. I sleep. The article starts to focus on the ethics associated with harsh containment and how one can mitigate the stress that the object experiences. Intrigued. See, I tend to agree with this. I mean, I think most people would tend to agree with this except for a very select group of people who have a very specific and narrow idea of what they want from SCP articles. I think most people would agree that the more complex the examination of the SCP itself, the better the article. The only real argument is the problem that the SCP article goes into so much detail that there really is anywhere further for the story to go, which is never true, but I also can see people saying that, like, there's not a lot of story left to tell, but, yeah, or it's difficult to find other ways to tell the story. But, yeah, the ethics associated with harsh containment and how one can mitigate the stress that the object experiences, I mean, it's fun from the idea that if you can mitigate stress and, you know, lower the harshness of containment, then you prevent future problems for yourself. And I think a lot of people miss that. SCP fans arguing over which content creators should be making more money. People who don't give an F and watch support both content. People who aren't part of the offsite fandom. They doing over there. I'm definitely part of this argument, I think, at this point. I mean, okay, so this is almost certainly, I would guess, maybe not, a little bit about the SCP animated channels and maybe also a little bit about the idea of offsite creators making money while on site creators don't. And technically, that's not true. First of all, on site creators don't, but the wiki as a whole has been able to raise money based on their works. The money has been created for the SCP wiki. It's not quite the same thing, because it's not on an individual basis. And also wiki.makes money from the SCP wiki creators as well. People talk about how individual authors are like, how come I can't make money? Or not necessarily all individual authors, but I have had the conversation where it's how come you can make money off of SCP content? But I, the guy who actually creates the original stuff, not derivative work, like this is a derivative work. What all of us do on YouTube is derivative generally. I mean, I've written original stuff for YouTube and a lot of other people have too. But the idea is that, you know, the original content is on the wiki. I don't necessarily agree that that's necessarily number one, but people on the wiki would, obviously. But here's the thing, wiki. does, because they run ads on wiki. If you own a wiki. account, like the best wiki. account, they're not supposed to run ads on the wiki. But the SCP wiki has a special deal with wiki. where they're allowed to run advertisements on it for people who aren't logged in, which is most of the people that visit the site. And when I say most, I mean a vast majority probably, I don't know the numbers exactly, but I would bet 95 plus percent of their traffic is from people who are not logged into the wiki. And they get ads wiki. And by extension, the creators on wiki. are making a ton of money. They're just not getting a chance to see any of that money. And I don't know how much money these people are making, because there's a lot of hosting costs associated with it. But I can't imagine there's not a profit going on this wiki. That's been around for forever. They would not continue to do what they're doing if they weren't making money at it. I think the authors on the wiki, it would be nice if the authors on the wiki could get money for what they did. I even briefly considered it before I realized how small the margins are, like it's not a lot of money in YouTube. I briefly considered the idea that if I ever covered an SCP article, that I would set aside some of the ad revenue for the author of the article that I'm covering, but the money is so, so tiny that it's it's impossible for me to do that right now, maybe in the future, I don't know. But yeah, this is the world we live in. And you just kind of, and there's not a lot of money to go around, to be honest with you. It's a complicated thing. Maybe I should do a whole video about this. I really should. This has already taken up several minutes. Moving on. DJ Kai just when he sees an empty x935 or x812 slot is for me. The thing is, the only reason I included this, I mean, I've noticed that Cactus has a propensity for certain numbers. I also have a propensity, I think a lot of authors do that. I pick anything that ends with 13 in it. Or if I can. So you see, if you look at my author page, you'll see a lot of things that either end in 13, contain the numbers one and three in there somewhere, or some to 13. There's very few, I think. Let me think. 245 doesn't. And that's just because it was a series one article slot that I managed to snatch up. And I think I had like a little short period where I just didn't care. So 2986 and 2987, which I wrote are also not some or a ending in. And I think that's it. I can't think of anything else. And I have a lot of SCPs written. I was just like, for a little while, I was like, you know what, screw it, I'm not doing this anymore. And I picked out 2986 or 2987. I can't remember which one came first. And I was like, all right, moving on to the next number. And I just moved on to the next number for the next one. And then I changed my mind and went back to doing what I was doing before it. It is what it is. All right. Memes featuring main series, SCPs and highly upvoted or famous tales, Dr. Sumerian memes featuring obscure tales, international SCPs and GOI formats. Well, first of all, I don't read international SCPs. I do read GOI formats. And sometimes I would include them, I'm sure if they were Marshall Carter and Dark. And then obscure tales. Well, I mean, I mean, what am I going to do? I would love to feature a tale that's rated at like plus four that I think is very good. And maybe I'll do our videos on those in the future, but like a meme, nobody's going to be nobody cares about those and nobody does them. Like almost no one does them anyway. Also video and GIF format memes. So there was a video meme that was because Yasi puts them in the list, GIF and video format memes. The problem is that you can't click them and just save them easily. That I know of. There's like other websites you can go to. They're like, put the link in here and we'll save the video. And then they save the video. And then it's a whole additional process. Whereas for an image, I can just click it, right click, save as and then go. I legitimately, when I saw this, I had already saved or at least attempted to save a video meme. And it just like you right click it and all it does is play. I can't save the file. So I don't, I don't, you know, I didn't include it because I couldn't figure. I mean, it's not that I couldn't figure it out. It's just it was going to take too long for me to get it saved. I don't really have any strong opinions on anything. People on the sub, there's nothing wrong with an SEP based on among us people on the sub. I mean, it what's, let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. When people have to be like angry that other people, I have never understood this. And I'm sure I'm guilty of it from time to time to be honest with you, but like when I spot it and actually am cognizant of it, it boggles my mind. Why do you care what other people enjoy? You guys always act like I feel like I've done this before. I feel like this meme has been done before. I know this meme. I'm this exact, not necessarily this exact version of it, but UIU, the foundation, GOC, literally anyone else. I feel like this has been done before. Maybe I shouldn't have included it, but I, yeah, exclusionary site, 06 researcher. And this is our absolute exclusion artist, Pietro Wilson during employee orientation. Oh, cool. What does it do? It's a surprise tool that will help us later. Wait, let's see if I can do it. Mickey Mouse voice. It's a surprise tool that will help us later. No, it's a surprise tool that will help us later. Something along those lines. Yeah. Who cares? The share like license is basically a memetic agent that spreads through any medium that contains already infected media. Patient is absolutely effing insane. I think what the word you're looking for here is viral rather than memetic. I mean, you even use the word infected. Memetics, it's not exactly what you're thinking of here. It's a viral spread. Anyway, that's it. Thank you very much for watching.
