Click bait

That's platform 24, Leipzig, Germany. It's the biggest train station by floor area in all of Europe.

Background story of this platform by u/rewboss (5 minutes video): https://youtu.be/ztXJcDQ7c-Y

In a nutshell: It's a pure museum platform, where historic trains are displayed as eye candy to hide the parking spaces behind. The tracks of this platform end prematurely, and the buffer stop is before this point on the lower tracks. The elevated tracks are purely cosmetic to match the length of the other tracks, since the space is needed in the underground there.

The "fan made piece of crap" section are actual tracks, while "YouTube official trailer" are the fake tracks. But I don't know what the implications of this for the memes message are. 😅

I don't know what the implications for this meme are

The implication is that YT promotes trash fan made trailers, despite them being labeled "official", so when ppl click on them they get an experience analogous to being derailed.

Cuz the YT system promotes vids based solely on viewcount without any concern for quality or truth in the title.

I've meant the implications of how this background knowledge might influence the memes message (rephrased the sentence now).

If I think about it, it's coincidentally kinda fitting: The thumbnail is the cosmetic section and the actual video is the section with actual tracks.

Can you explain what this is about?

(I asked)

[u/SharkMilk44 → u/Internet-Culture]

How the fuck did you recognize which train station this is just by a picture of the tracks?

[u/Vr_Oreo → u/Internet-Culture]

who asked lmao

(you know what I fully deserve the downvotes now that I went back to the message so go ahead)

[u/ExplodingKitt → u/Vr_Oreo]

I did.

[u/Vr_Oreo]

Yeah these videos that are CALLED official trailers but hide somewhere in the description “fan concept trailer” actually drive me crazy. They are full of obviously ai generated videos, photos and sounds. Why do they like to mislead people like this?

[u/Traveuse → u/Vr_Oreo]

For the clicks and ad revenue. Plus since YouTube made it so nobody can see the dislikes, it's never obvious when a shitty video is shitty from the outside.

[u/BOMSwasHERE → u/Traveuse]

I just want there to be a "block" function that actually works. If I block a channel, I don't see that content anywhere, even if it matches exactly the search term I input.

It at least gives me a fighting chance, if I block enough shitty youtubers, this problem would be bearable.

And then there's a "fan made movie" that's absolute cinema.(looking at scp fans, and stalker too)

[u/Cultural_Garbage_530 → u/jluka1000]

Warhammer's "Halbreich" is stunning

[u/Y_10HK29 → u/Cultural_Garbage_530]

Especially Astartes

[u/Cultural_Garbage_530 → u/Y_10HK29]

The classic warhammer dichotomy of "Space man makes big boom" and "Meditations on war and the nature of suffering" by Ashkoroth the Child Flenser

Both are excellent on their own merits, but holy shit astartes is so god damn good

[u/ViC_tOr42]

Channels like screen culture should be deleted

[u/Ebisure → u/ViC_tOr42]

I'm surprised the big movie studios hasn't take action against Screen Culture for outright IP violation

[u/Repulsive-Meaning770 → u/ViC_tOr42]

I think we can drop youtube at this point

[u/StandardN02b]

Also "<song name> extended version"

Just the same song in loop for 20 minutes.

[u/Major-Investigator57 → u/StandardN02b]

I mean it's not a lie lol

[u/endergamer2007m]

I genuinely thought they made a Wall-E 2... i was dissapointed

[u/mikel302]

Do you think a train could jump this ?

[u/maxultra64]

Just block Screen Culture in your feed and it solves mostly the entire problem

[u/ahmarthered]

It wouldn't be half as annoying if it was even actually fan made. Instead most of these trailers are AI-generated rubbish.

[u/Erikkman]

Got introduced to The Witcher games from a “Dragon Age 3” trailer (back in 2011) which turned out to just be a cutscene from The Witcher 2 lmfao

[u/AllHailTheMoose]

All trailers are bait
