I think that maybe you guys think everyone knows who Matpat is

u/Ae0lis 2d ago

From game theory, film theory, etc. He’s pretty well known.

u/Sawgon 2d ago

I've heard of him (never seen the game theory/film theory stuff) but I was saying that it's very plausible that people do not know who he is. I've never seen his picture for example.

u/PolloCongelado uhhhh idk 1d ago

I don't know why this would get downvoted. About 95% of the planet will live their life and not hear about matpat. And they don't need to.

I guess Matpat has fans or whatever. It's just internet points brother who cares.

u/PolloCongelado uhhhh idk 1d ago

Definitely. People over estimate the size of the bubble they live in and wrongly generalise based on it.

u/WalzartKokoz 1d ago

You're just a chill guy whos just happy to be here and doesn't care about internet points.

u/GyroZeppeliFucker 1d ago

Yeah and thats why they explained who he is

2

u/Sawgon 1d ago

Yup. I didn't disagree with the reply.

u/yescokeyes 1d ago

So should people online only be commenting about things you know of?

12

u/Exaskryz 1d ago

I mean, asking for context and then being told you should already know it is an act deserving of crucifixion

2

u/Sawgon 1d ago

No which I think I made clear in my "I don't think you should assume everyone has heard of everything you've heard of" comment that is further up. But I understand reading comprehension is a bit hard for people.

You ain't missing anything

u/Enkarza 2d ago

I mean, he has ~43 million subs between his main channels, and most people who aren’t subscribed to him at least know of him, so it’s safe to assume that most people (especially on Reddit) would know who ‘matpat’ is.

u/Sawgon 1d ago

and most people who aren’t subscribed to him at least know of him

Yeah let me go ask some random person on the street here in Sweden who that is and they'll probably know

u/Enkarza 1d ago

I meant on the internet, dude.

u/Nuti 1d ago

Yeah let me go ask some random person who browses instagram every now and then who that is and they'll probably know.

u/Exaskryz 1d ago

main channels

Emphasis mine. If even 2 channels, that could be 21.5 million people who subbed twice. Three channels, we're talking 14.3 million people subbed thrice... And don't forget to discount the bots.

To an NFL fan, MatPat sounds like the nickname to Matt Patricia who was a coach for the New England Patriots and had a stint as headcoach to Detroit Lions and I don't know where he is now. But that is always who pops into my head when someone says MatPat.

So do you want every single cultural reference explained to you, every single time. Google it or move on

2

u/Sawgon 1d ago

Irony coming from a fan of someone who tells people theories because they can't think for themselves.

If I've learned anything here is that Matpat fans get in their feelings very quickly.

u/RetroGmr 1d ago

My feelings are fine, just seemed to me like you got peeved people were discussing somebody you didn't know about. "I think maybe you guys think everybody knows who MatPat is?" Did you expect him to give you a whole history deep dive or something?

1

u/Sawgon 1d ago

My response was just "not everyone knows every online dude" and you guys are still replying to it getting mad like it's some huge insult. It's okay reading comprehension can be hard online.

u/RetroGmr 1d ago

Yes, well, we are all well aware Matpat is not as universally known as Jesus Christ. What was the point of that statement lol

u/Suecophile 1d ago

Dude everyone and their mother knows who fucking Matpat is
