Transcripts

hello guys and girls me mudahar and I

made a pretty good decision for myself

ladies and gentlemen yeah I deleted my

own Twitter account there boyos yep it's

completely gone now you might be like

whoa what uh what what why why would

somebody jump down and do something like

that muda now there's a couple reasons

for it uh one of them is uh it actually

doesn't really do any benefit we

actually ran the numbers and cost

benefit analysis wise using X was a

total waste of time and actually offered

no benefit to the YouTube channel

whatsoever so I want to start off by

saying one of the reasons why I actually

really liked using that social media

platform and it was really just a to

interact with you know a fan here and

there uh you know communicate with other

YouTubers and really get on the pulse of

what was going on uh you know in the

community right it was a great place to

really get news information and really

just like you know see things evolve but

uh over the last I want to say few

months the platform has effective become

forchan X ladies and gentlemen so

there's a bit of a speculation as to oh

muda did you get hacked did you have the

Chris Chan Sonu Medallion react on you

no I don't I can't speak much for black

magic but I can confirm that my 17

virtual machines have not been breached

and I have not been hacked now I

actually went through and deactivated

and uh I probably shouldn't be saying

this but they're like killed two Factor

authentication the site doesn't even

tell you you oh goodbye you deactivated

no we just took away a critical security

feature that's a that's always a good

sign by the way re

real that's wild but uh ladies and

gentlemen uh one of the things about you

know using the internet is I've come

across some real wild stuff you know

there used to be a period where we

actively browse a deep web every week

and now the last Deep Web video I made

was about a month ago um you know and I

do a lot of tech related stuff virus

stuff like I literally was like

destroying my virtual machine with like

crazy malware to the point where I was

wiping bootloaders from Windows and all

the way through Linux and everything it

was insane I made that video like two

weeks ago so from time to time I make I

make these videos and uh when it comes

to Deep Web stuff like obviously I've

seen wild stuff okay like I've seen I've

seen Wann toe red rooms I've seen actual

uh like fullon racist websites and stuff

and uh it really felt like the last

couple like months on X or Twitter

whatever the heck it is

uh really felt like being on forchan

Pole every day you know when you fire up

your timeline and you see like oh this

pajit poo and the L get him out of the

country boy you know it's like you know

when you go on like fourchant pole yeah

you can laugh at it every once in a

while but when it becomes like a

constant thing it really just sucks all

the energy and fun out of it like dog if

I wanted to go to pole I would just go

to pole okay and for anybody that

doesn't know what 4chan pole is it's a

containment board to basically keep all

of the most insane [ __ ] on forchan in

one board so people can use stuff like

r/ TV r/ food r/ anime

r/ MLP without like having some [ __ ]

person come in and just say the most

outlandishly wild stuff now you might be

wondering oh muda why don't you just

mute and block it and honestly that was

something I was doing for a while but it

really just became part of a thing where

I don't know if it's like you just

scroll by something and it counts as you

technically engaging with media even if

you don't want to watch it or not where

it just keeps feeding you that content

and it just became a thing where you

fire up the app you look at it for a

second close it because it's like whoa

insane like a couple days ago I saw a

sneo post and it's funny because like I

I I don't even like follow him and it's

like the literal AI image of like two

Jewish guys okay they had a black dude

in the middle and the black guy had his

like you know head removed it was kind

of like a labotomy or something like

that but uh the the brain was replaced

with fried chicken and I'm like I'm

sitting there I'm like did literally I'd

see this on polling I would actually

unironically see this there and they're

like I don't follow Andrew tape but I'm

seeing him talk about his recent arrest

okay and it's funny because like you

know that's one side of the spectrum I

dislike but then you got to see like

crazy nut jobs on like the hyper left

side of of Twitter who are like man mood

to that trans phobic Nazi boy like I've

seen people claim that I've defended

Andrew Tate when I've literally had

videos like the last video I made on

Tate probably about a year ago we

literally looked at how one of his cases

involved actual grown 30-year-old men

victim shaming somebody who is a minor

like it's insane [ __ ] it's insanely wild

stuff it's like nobody on that website

can do any research and when it comes to

politics one of the things that I

personally find a little wild is like

the toxicity has gotten to the point

where it's like people on the website

view everyone around the world through

this very American lens right like as a

Canadian I don't give a [ __ ] about

Camala or Trump I can't vote for either

or okay it doesn't matter like goddamn

bro I live in leaf land dog you think I

give a [ __ ] so you know immediately G to

the website anybody like right of like

Maad dong is like a fascist and anyone

left of Adolf Hitler is like you know a

[ __ ] K okay it's like no actual

Nuance or anything in the middle so it's

just one of those things we're getting

wrapped up of the toxicity and the anger

it might be okay for some people and I

think it works for like a channel that's

like you know super politically oriented

or something or people that are in that

I guess you could say culture War

because realistically that's kind of

where the money is at for Twitter and

when it comes for money like even having

an account like mine that actually got a

[ __ ] ton of Engagement like we are

talking hundreds of millions of

Impressions a month uh I remember when I

was in the revenue sharing bro Elon was

handing out $300 checks okay so for a

lot of these accounts that are making

thousands of dollars they're posting

[ __ ] like actual engagement bait like

that sneo uh you know stuff that I was

talking about earlier or people just

share random engagement bait and if it's

not engagement bait it's just like

literal porn so you have that you have

you have nonsense political engagement

bait and there's very little actual

content that I enjoy in the last two

weeks of using it my usage of the

platform pretty much dwindled to like

uploading a couple screenshots from my

play

4 and uh one of the only things that I

got excited about literally was like

looking at bloodborne like uh a couple

days ago I saw this bloodborne trend on

it and I was like oh my God this is

actually something I'm excited about

let's go to bloodborne and obviously

that's where we found out about the

progress that Shad PS4 had and then I

made a video because I was like oh I got

to talk about emulator stuff especially

if PS4 stuff is as good and I was like

man if this is the only thing this app

is providing after all this time then

there really isn't any point of keeping

it now one of the things that I kind of

use Twitter for and a lot of platform

you know a lot of YouTubers will use it

for is promoting videos the problem with

promoting videos on X or Twitter or

whatever is that there's not really any

tangible translation statistically over

to YouTube so for instance one of the

videos that I made uh the Opera GX video

uh I believe I had this one posted on X

uh around the time it actually released

just cuz it was a landmark video it was

sponsored and I worked on it right I

wanted people to watch a technical

analysis into should you download a

gaming web browser now I [ __ ] you not

based on my actual like analytics it

seemed as if on average I was getting

more viewership somehow from

msn.com than I was getting from like X

so if I'm somehow pulling more like eyes

from msn.com and you can't even post

there like I believe it probably got

picked up in an article there's more

like usage probably you know spreading

your videos naturally through something

like Reddit or specifically in like you

know specialized Discord communities

right for emulation if you were talking

about bloodborne for instance or gaming

stuff when it came to the Opera GX

browser review so realistically it was

like if you do the cost benefit

analysis using something like uh X

doesn't really give you any benefit

other than you wasting time and

basically reading things that I would

say aren't really good for your mental

health in the long term and honestly I

would rather be focused on you know

making more content than I would be just

spending time on that website right

there's plenty of content to be made

this weekend I mean literally tomorrow

right we're going to talk about

fur and the hack that happen I get to

actually talk about something cool and

actual hacking methodology like you know

domain hijacking which is still a very

real and scary thing and uh you know

it's something that I can demystify I

can explain and even show like you know

some example of it happening in the real

world um you know down the road uh you

know there's a video this weekend that

I'm actually looking forward to I got my

hands on PlayStation 2 Linux so I get to

actually turn my PlayStation 2 into a

desktop computer and I probably won't be

able to game on it but I should be able

to browse like the web or something on a

PS2 through Linux insane [ __ ] um but

yeah these are things that I want to do

I want to look into like more these

rabbit holes like there was this one Tik

tocker that I was looking into where

it's like just insane like again the the

these like these darker parts of the

internet is something that you know I

have on my uh work Todo list I have on

my like you know diving list and I might

as well just keep doing that instead of

engaging with this platform the other

big reality of it too is like obviously

it doesn't really provide a benefit

decided to leave it the reason to really

make this video is not to a announce the

departure at the gates but it's also

because this is something where like you

know uh people in the community and this

is where I'm going to shame a little bit

you know you should be messaging my

significant other okay that I've

disconnected you probably have me on

like Discord I think most of the

creators the large ones that I actively

talk to either have my Discord address

or my number and we can just continue

talking through there there's nothing

really this platform provides and I feel

like if I constantly complain about

Twitter or x uh I be a little bit of a

hypocrite to just keep on using it

despite all of its problems I might as

well just make a stance and say yeah

there's problems with the platform don't

think it's worth my time be done with it

but obviously one of the things is my

wife was being asked about this

situation and uh obviously she woke up

to like a [ __ ] ton of messages which

nobody should have to like you should

never message somebody significant other

for a [ __ ] answer like dog you have

my like phone number you can you can

just hit me up directly I'll I'll answer

and uh that's pretty much what it comes

down to and uh obviously you know I'm

going to agree for the first time with

r/ yoube drama the the wildest Reddit

out there it's unhinge to contact her in

any way shape or form regarding muda

unless you are their friend IRL yeah I

know I I really I really would expect

that her husband is a huge internet

celebrity that suddenly disappeared and

cut contact off with people I don't know

what she expected I think you're really

stretching huge internet celebrity boy

I'm just a fat Indian guy on the

internet who likes to talk about goofy

[ __ ] that's pretty much what it comes

down to I don't understand this gassing

up of anybody uh I'm just I'm just a

pretty unknown Speck in the grand scheme

of things but obviously you know one

thing that I really saw over here was

everyone's making a huge deal for no

reason I'm sure you got annoyed with

seeing political post 247 more likely

scenario and that's true not just that

but obviously the you know

obscene anti- pajit stuff going on

insane stuff the more scary scenario is

something I've been noticing in the last

four or five videos muda started doing a

thing thing with his mouth when he was

talking I've noticed it only after I

heard him gagging since I put his videos

on the second monitor after I saw that I

went back a couple of videos and noticed

he had the same mouth there as well I'm

hoping it's not another time he showed

up on camera for a week carrying around

a second head as an appendix so I do not

have a medical problem at all I've

actually gotten my checkups and I'm

totally fine in that regard so it's not

something for anybody to be worrying

about but yeah I figured I might as well

demystify and answer some questions here

and just explain what's been going on

and kind of uh you know have a little

chat a fireside chat with the audience

over here probably should have been

doing this you know just just having the

phone pointed up because that would have

just been a that would have been more

fireside chatty but that's pretty much

what it came down to nothing super

serious but yeah you know it's just uh

it's just one of those things go back to

form and uh yeah if you like what you

saw please like comment and subscribe

and honestly if you want to you know

remain in contact and share stuff and

you know make a request and you know

bring up something cool for the channel

uh you know or some rabbit hole that you

want me to cover it's probably best you

go to our actual Reddit R some ordinary

gamers because it's psychotic and as you

know as as as as as as Asylum ridden we

are here uh it is an actual it is the

one part of the community that I really

do enjoy so if you have any grievances

you have any things you want to bring up

that's probably a place you want to go

to okay because it's just a lot uh it's

a lot more uh tame so to speak anyways

yeah I'm out
