1. So, he's dead now?

'cause that's what happens when you make a fatal decision.

[generalbetrayus]

2. I watched the entire video. What is the fatal decision?

[YoshidaYui]

3. Ask the people at Midas touch

maybe you can leave the same remark on YOUTUBE, for the Midas Touch group.

[flvegan]

5. Um, you posted it here.

Interesting response.

[YoshidaYui]

6. Yes but its your question

and I don't make the videos, i Post them.

[Iris]

10. Yes. You posted to a discussion board so the discussion part is kind of expected!

[YoshidaYui]

11. No one is stopping you from discussing the video

but if you have questions it seems obvious to go to the source and again I didn't make the video so i can not be blamed for the content
and also this is exactly why I should probably stick to the Asian group cause its my bag, but If i come across a video that I find interesting
I will post it, It doesn't mean i am an expert on the subject, so I think it would be obvious that if you want an answer go to the source.

32. You are alllowed to add a comment to your OP, such as

"I don't understand what the fatal decision is". That would help a lot in the discussion.

Or you could post the summary that Meidas Touch puts on YouTube:

"MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump facing mass protests once again which spontaneously erupted at the same time Trump has been exposed for the biggest diplomatic blunder in the history of the United States in connection with his Alaska meeting with Putin."

When you just post the video here, we don't see that.

FWIW, I can find some things claiming that crowd scenes are AI-generated (which would explain why they're on TikTok and Twitter, but not on broadcast media.)

[YoshidaYui]

34. You know what?

I don’t have to post in General Discussion any longer since all I get is shit for posting fuck it I am done with this racist bullshit!

[misanthrope]

4. It doesn't matter

You watched the video and the statistic was all they really wanted.

[generalbetrayus]

18. Well, you got me there.

[LymphocyteLover]

7. I like Meidas Touch's coverage in general but these hyperbolic headlines are a joke and

really a turnoff.

[tritsofme]

8. Hate these clickbait videos.

[YoshidaYui]

12. You know other people post these same vidos

But when I post it some one has to bitch about the content and blame me for it, why do you think that is???

[tritsofme]

13. Easy solution: don't post this sort of clickbait if you don't want people to criticize it.

[YoshidaYui]

14. is funny its not click bate when other people post them

but when I post it, I get bitched at,. You know you don't have to watch these videos, and stop making it about me., unless you think
an Asian woman doesn't havre the right to post a message in General Discussion. and if that's the case why don't come out and say so

[tritsofme]

15. How incredibly bizarre. I'm not playing this game.

[Ms. Toad]

26. Almost every Midas Touch video I've seen posted recently

Has been criticized. I don:t really pay a lot of attention to who is posting them - but unless you're the only one posting them, the response isn't based on gender and ethnicity.

[YoshidaYui]

28. THEN tell me , why AM i always thy target of criticism everytime I post in Gneneral Discussion

I havy.e had people tell me I should stay in the ASIAN group and post there only,,.. I guess I must be a one trick pony.

[Ms. Toad]

29. Like I said, I don't pay attention to who is posting things.

I pay more attention to what is posted. So if you tell me another topic you're posting on that is receiving criticism, I could likely tell you whether other posts on that topic are also criticized.

But as to whether you, generally, are disproportionately being criticized - I got no clue.

[Prairie Gates]

9. WE should have a Meida Touch headline generator

City Council to add tricolored mandatory stoplight at Oak and 23rd! Local residents won't be silenced!

They literally sound insane.

[Celerity]

17. no offence (I often love your posts) but I'm so sick of MeIdAs ToUcH's HyPe-HyPe clout-chasing and click grifting videos

[YoshidaYui]

20. so mIDAS TOUCH is off bounds now??

I guess i never got the memo, so tell me, what SAFE VIDEOS should be posted on DU ???

[H2O Man]

22. Keep on posting.

Some people here a wee-bit grumpy. Normally, being grumpy is my job. And I like your video.

[YoshidaYui]

24. You know I have come across a bunch of racist comments when I post videos in GENERAL DISCUSSION

AN THOSE RACISTS CAN GO POUND SAND.

[H2O Man]

27. I think that

people were hoping the "fatal mistake" was other than what the article was about. I'm not sure of why, but I think their disappointment was incorrectly aimed at you.

[YoshidaYui]

30. first it was don't post anything by THE Young Turks

then there were a few other pod casts and now this, Midas Touch is off bounds, I wish people would make a list of what videos they do allow on DU
SO that I don't get criticized for posting the video. Or maybe they just don't want me posting here at all, I been told to stay in my own lane before,. you know post in the ASIAN GROUP and stay there,... one might tend to think there are racists on DU just as there are Racists on other websites, i would have thought DU would be more tolerable, maybe I was wrong.

[Celerity]

31. Nothing to do with safeness. nt

[YoshidaYui]

33. Your right

It’s it’s pure racism- I have had a few people tell me to “Stay in your lane “ another words shut the fuck up Yoshida and go post in your Asian section where you belong!

[LeftInTX]

25. I think someone is making $$$$$$ from clicks.

I've learned not to trust them.

[WarGamer]

19. Meidas is a Catnip producer.

People like to see/read it... it makes them feel good. It's frequently erroneous or misleading but that's the nature of political catnip online...

It's a free country... people can follow whatever news they want... whether it's Sean Hannity or Meidas.

I personally like an unvarnished version of news so I can make my own analysis.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. "All-cap in hed, you've been misled"

[H2O Man]

23. Recommended.

Thank you.
