How Brand Twitter Manipulates You | A Response to Steak-Umm Zoe Bee 2021-08-10 | Brand Twitter is home of depressed Moon Pies and "inclusive" M&Ms, but the Steak-Umm Twitter account is the worst of the worst. Let's talk about why.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In The Land of Brand Twitter, where household products and fast-food companies are personified by underpaid marketing employees working for corporations desperately trying to hold onto some semblance of relevance in ever increasingly saturated markets, it’s hard to stand out.But one brand - Steak-Umm - was able to stand out from the crowd by tweeting about something no other brand was brave enough to: Wokeness.Their seemingly anti-capitalist, pro-social-justice tweets gained traction and made Steak-Umm the mascot of level-headed, rational thinking on the Internet.That's a bad thing.00:00 - Intro01:33 - The Birth of Woke Steak07:19 - The Tweet that Broke Me08:45 - Obligatory "Capitalism is Bad" Section14:08 - Outro and Patron Scroll* Sources: *---Steak-Umm Twitter: twitter.com/steak_umm?s=20---The Big Thread (the one I don't read): twitter.com/steak_umm/status/1420456647667879937?s=20* Art and Editing: * --- All art and editing was done by the wonderful Neil Farrell (youtube.com/channel/UC358urzyldvD78E9o2sR-Og)* To Support Me: *---Become a channel Member! ➤ youtube.com/channel/UCecF2icZlEIJ__9XS6woPGw/join---Join the Patreon! ➤ patreon.com/zoe_bee---Make a one-time donation! ➤ ko-fi.com/zoebee---Join the Discord! ➤ discord.gg/8GBmS9Qug9---Check out my second channel! ➤ youtube.com/@zoecee---Watch my D&D game! ➤ youtube.com/@thejaycorn---Watch my Blades in the Dark game! ➤ twitch.tv/itucrew

this video is about nothing Zoe Bee 2021-07-24 | this video is about nothing....will you join the void?..........* Poem: *“The Void" (for Intergalactic Trans Celebrity Juliet Mylan)It’s a room with dark wood walls, and a floor covered in well-worn rugs.In the corner, a dimly lit Christmas tree pours red and green over someone’s workboots.You notice the air has a musty wetness, like lots of old rooms in old houses.Like your grandparents’ house.Yes, it smells distinctly like your grandparents’ house.Like cool Oregon air and acres of grassland baking in the summer sun and cows.The couch – you must have missed it before – sits in the middle of the room.The graying leather fades along creases, and years-stained whiteness pools on the left cushion.That was your spot, when you and your brother played…Oh, you forget the name, now…How long has it been since you’ve seen him?You forget…How did you get here?You don’t remember coming into this house. You don’t know if this room is even in a house.How did you get here?The cold open air of the outside feels a thousand miles away. You hear a coyote howlsomewhere in the distance.How did you get here?The television in the corner blinks on. An old CRT. It’s just static.How did you get here?It doesn’t matter.The door is unlocked, there, behind you.It’s ajar, but you can’t quite see through to the other side.You can leave whenever you want.Do you?* To Support Me: *---Become a channel Member! ➤ youtube.com/channel/UCecF2icZlEIJ__9XS6woPGw/join---Join the Patreon! ➤ patreon.com/zoe_bee---Make a one-time donation! ➤ ko-fi.com/zoebee---Join the Discord! ➤ discord.gg/8GBmS9Qug9---Check out my second channel! ➤ youtube.com/@zoecee---Watch my D&D game! ➤ youtube.com/@thejaycorn---Watch my Blades in the Dark game! ➤ twitch.tv/itucrew
