Bit of a different one this time, but I hope you guys like it! I've got a laundry list of peculiar Internet oddities just like this that I've put off for a while, however if you guys liked this style, I'd love to bring them outta the vault. Let me know what you think! I'm trying to get a video out every month this year to make up for the slowdown we had last year, so any feedback helps. Love ya'll. See you next month.

fun fact: in 1984 the game "Paranoia" by studio West End Games was released. It was a rpg game where you and your friends would play as citizens serving the almight tyrant "Computer". It was a parody of the book "1984" by George Orwell. One of the quotes from the game is "The Computer is your friend", which is the same as shown in 4:08. I think Kevin was inspired by this game when making the website. Its also interesting coincidence that the game company went bancrupt in 1998, which is the same year when website got shut down.

It feels like Nexpo is becoming quantity over quality, Barely sociable and Lemmino are the perfect example of the opposite. They focus on actual interesting mysteries without over dramatizing them or dragging them out while also remaining skeptical and pointing out things that could be false or fake. Nexpo just puts ominous music under things that are clearly fake ARGS or unfounded and wild conspiracies in order to appeal to Gen-z tiktok users who'll believe anything as long as nexpo puts ominous music in the background. Like whats the point of covering ARGS? they are art projects made by bored art students and couldn't be anything further from creepy, just cringeworthy attempts at going viral which youtube channels will milk to get easy views.

I just want to share that the reason why the Y2K scare didn’t result in a disaster is because of all the people that worked to fix it ahead of time. Peter in the movie Office Space actually had one of these jobs, changing two digit years to four digit years in code. There will be a similar issue on January 19th 2038.

The Y2K fear wasn't just paranoia, though. And it wasn't just that "everything turned out fine". There was a massive effort of tons of people working non-stop to make sure that what everyone said was going to happen (and it was going to happen) didn't happen. Sure it wouldn't have been the end of the world, but it would have caused insane damage. And I guess everybody who put in all that work did that work perfectly, to the extent that nobody even believes that it was a serious concern anymore.

Yeah, but anyone can help by opening the door. If we're just paranoid and create the mysteries ourselves, that means we may be trying to actualize our own paranoia to use as a coping mechanism. Since paranoia is a form of fear, this means we may actually need fear so we can create a mystery so we can cope. This actually isn't entirely false, some of us could be doing that, we do speak out things we may be paranoid and fearful of, therefore getting it off our chests. It also means there was never anything that existed to begin with, making this comment even more redundant than I thought possible. We created quite the useless mystery.

*in response to your closing lines* The reason that old internet has such a charm is because it was a time when we believed in possibilites and where people where allowed to be themselves before the algorithms began optimizing for addiction. There was a beauty and hope that has now transformed into attention content addiction. Also, nostalgia Edit: We used to make content for the art and fun of it. Now its all about growing a business and brand. But its not people's fault either because ifyou dont pander to the algorithms, your content will be invisible. For those who arn't sure about the difference between addictive and fun, mobile games are optimized for addiction. You feel the need to play but not the desire. There is no deep fulfillment or satisfaction. On the other end, you know that something is fun when you want to do it without any pressure

The fact a company bought a domain is also hardly odd. The percentage of cases where the party who is buying a domain has no idea of who the previous owner was or what their website was like, must be over 50%, there's no doubt in my mind.

hey man, honest feedback here. I prefer longer, deeper dives into things like these. i feel as if i could have found this out by spending 10 mins on google. i don’t know if it was the way you presented it, but it seems like your research on this in particular is lacking. i typically enjoy your videos. I would have much more enjoyed hearing about the odd sites on the original paranoia. also, the long pausing between groups of words in the same sentence for dramatic effect could be reduced. it’s really cheesy.

I actually watched this game show when it premiered. Fox Family promoted the hell out of it but were very vague and mysterious about what it was. The first question on the show was “where does Homer Simpson work?” They spent 5 minutes dragging it out asking the other contestants their answers and then taking polls over phone and web and I got bored and changed the channel. Love these internet deep dive videos, you have such good pacing with these kind of docs.

I agree with your criticism about the need for this video to be made, but I think the point was not the word in itself, but the fact the domain was used for something that at the very least enabled unsavory behavior. That said, this fact was entirely irrelevant and should have been considered irrelevant by default, so it does little to make the video less banal.

The whole fact-finding process in this video really goes to show how a lot of people are really just hungry to make a conspiracy or a mystery out of _anything,_ even when the truth is staring you in the face. The first thing I would have done was look for other media properties called "Paranoia" once discovering that the movie had no affiliation with Disney whatsoever (and how the hell were people accepting that as an answer???). There have been a few shows called Paranoid or similar names but the only ones I see specifically called Paranoia are the game show and the Sony movie. So it really just follows logically, and then the facts of the whole Fox/Disney merger around that same time just put a nice lid on the whole thing. There's no mystery and there never really was. It was just capitalism. Also, for what it's worth, Disney does not own the names "Aladdin" or "Snow White". Both of those characters have existed since long before Walt Disney was even born; Aladdin was written in the same era as Ali-Baba and Snow White was an old Grimm tale from the 1800s. Disney owns rights to _their films and the associated depictions of these characters,_ but they thankfully cannot claim sole ownership of those names. I can also guarantee that's the case because if it wasn't, DIsney would have absolutely taken the people who own those URLs to court and claimed them for themselves - this is Disney we're talking about, after all. And knowing Disney would be the ones buying them, you bet your ass whoever bought those sites first is going to take them for everything they've got if they want to buy them.
@samkadel8185
6 ай бұрын
Yeah I found the mention of those titles odd - if Disney bought those websites it just seems like a legal nightmare that's not worth the hassle. Everybody knows they're owned by Disney and those properties are old enough that the Internet was young or nonexistent when it would've made sense to buy those domains, anyway.

Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Not the first time Nexpo does a deep dive investigation into a mystery and the payoff, is that there isnt anything interesting and you've, more or less, wasted your time! Some investigations should probably have their videos scrapped if it ends up being nothing. It shows that you could make a text description of beef jerky sound mysterious and disturbing. Which makes me feel like, you've got to have a more worthwhile topic/video idea than this? I dunno, videos with lame conclusions are just that.

Some myth busting: People don’t understand that the Y2K “hysteria” was completely warranted. The only reason “nothing happened” is because people worked furiously, all over, at tremendous expense to governments and organizations around the world, to make sure it didn’t destroy the modern era. It still did a tremendous amount of damage, but because people got together and worked on it, it was largely invisible to the average person. The fact that things kept going after the clock struck midnight made everybody go “well THAT was stupid, why’d everyone get all worked up over that?” And that ignorance has persisted into the current day. It DID happen, it WAS a disaster. But we got together and fixed it before it got bad, and nobody got the memo.
