00:00 - 0:00:09 Today it's about thoughts that I had this week and also experiences and lasting experiences.
0:00:09 – 0:00:15 Impressions in the Creator world.
0:00:15 – 0:00:42 [Music]
0:00:42 – 0:00:51 Yes, welcome to KlarFunk. I'm Dascher Markmann and I say hello. Hui, what a week isn't it? And
0:00:51 – 0:01:05 What a lot of events. Some are silent, others talk a lot and still others do a lot. I have
0:01:05 – 0:01:11 Understand that a lot of post is written in different places. So I wonder, too,
0:01:11 – 0:01:22 Perpetrator-victim reversal. These are real ones. You really have to touch your head. But sometimes
0:01:22 – 0:01:27 is the one who screams the loudest, even the one who makes the most Radau.
0:01:27 – 0:01:39 We have Halloween. Something I could have done as a digression. Because
0:01:39 – 0:01:48 Halloween isn't even such a German festival. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon region,
0:01:48 – 0:01:57 with a long tradition. Only in the new world, in America, did the feast become what it is today.
0:01:57 – 0:02:05 And I can still remember, there we are now in the beginning / middle of the 90s, where this is so
0:02:05 – 0:02:10 Just swamped over a bit, but you didn't really know what Halloween was. Mine
0:02:10 – 0:02:17 Mother always liked to tell that you were invited to a Halloween party and then
0:02:17 – 0:02:24 I had to inform you first what that was. I didn't even celebrate Halloween like that myself,
0:02:24 – 0:02:35 I always thought it was strange. I also always found that bad when ... so with the dressing up
0:02:35 – 0:02:42 It was kind of cool when I was a kid, but we're talking about kindergarten. Later I'm still a
0:02:42 – 0:02:50 bit went to the carnival, because in a small neighboring town in Olfen the carnival parade
0:02:50 – 0:02:58 It was just so cute, but I didn't dress up that big anymore.
0:02:58 – 0:03:06 I think I'm just too stocksteif to say that. I remember how we then
0:03:06 – 0:03:17 Earlier as a teenager or teenager at my sandbox buddy, later friend, then for hours
0:03:17 – 0:03:26 Halloween the movies have watched, but not even so on the typical suspect,
0:03:26 – 0:03:35 First, second or private. No, there it actually ran in the third and there then the
0:03:35 – 0:03:42 Masan box buddy had cable television relatively early, then of course you had
0:03:42 – 0:03:48 then all possible third and then you could actually choose where you look.
0:03:48 – 0:03:57 And there was especially so "Hesse 3" was really predestined and there was a great announcement.
0:03:57 – 0:04:06 So now here comes Halloween with the great computer music and there we sat and looked at it.
0:04:06 – 0:04:18 Yeah, it was creepy, but well, it's just a movie and Michael Myers in his parade role,
0:04:18 – 0:04:30 Yes, very nice. Curtis was nice too. So on the whole you have then so Halloween
0:04:30 – 0:04:35 spent and then, that came later only, that then also at the private school
0:04:35 – 0:04:43 Then creepy movies came to light. But the interesting version didn't come until after 10 p.m. anyway.
0:04:43 – 0:04:55 That was the case back in the 90s. And what is today? Today will be a week before Halloween
0:04:55 – 0:05:03 Livestreams made with the theme Halloween, where I also wondered, hmmm, funny,
0:05:03 – 0:05:12 Others decorated their apartment for Christmas. Wasn't there even something after the Dead Sunday?
0:05:12 – 0:05:19 Yes, I think this year the Christmas decoration was extremely economical. Me
0:05:19 – 0:05:26 I have two teenage cats and they do teenage cat stuff. I believe their
0:05:26 – 0:05:31 Favorite activity is chasing and topping each other all day.
0:05:31 – 0:05:41 It can also be exhausting. This is currently the most alive thing that is running around in our apartment.
0:05:41 – 0:05:51 I mean, I'm not quick anyway. So that the two of them can run around there, that's unbelievable.
0:05:51 – 0:05:57 And how quickly they get from one room to the other room, I can only dream of that.
0:05:57 – 0:06:05 Halloween was nothing this year. Good thing we didn't buy candy
0:06:05 – 0:06:13 have, because first of all the crap, I don't like it anyway, except this Kaugummus, but that's so much
0:06:13 – 0:06:21 Sugar, yes, you can give it to yourself. And on the other hand, I was really surprised because here
0:06:21 – 0:06:28 So many children live here in the district and that nobody rang the bell here, strange.
0:06:28 – 0:06:35 Really very strange. My nephews weren't there either, they were partying somewhere else,
0:06:35 – 0:06:43 So we didn't buy anything this year and I'm honestly not sad either,
0:06:43 – 0:06:49 No one rang the bell because you don't have to put yourself to death. You know what I mean.
0:06:49 – 0:07:03 What is so interesting? Halloween now has the Cassian announcements for me. There will be again
0:07:03 – 0:07:10 many many announcements made and I actually wonder with all the announcements where is the
0:07:10 – 0:07:22 Announcement master remained. He only had his five minutes around. I'm sure,
0:07:22 – 0:07:30 that our announcement masters will probably endure a little longer time. And always
0:07:30 – 0:07:37 Again some platform changes, but on the whole enviably persistent.
0:07:37 – 0:07:46 Yes, persistence is one such thing. Sometimes it's really positive, but with
0:07:46 – 0:07:58 such an unhealthy tenacity can take the really nasty proportions. And I'm actually wondering,
0:07:58 – 0:08:05 when at some point common sense will be used and so to speak a self-preservation instinct
0:08:05 – 0:08:13 Take control and make sure that I just take a little back,
0:08:13 – 0:08:23 Because at some point it can go to existence. This is really impressive,
0:08:23 – 0:08:34 It's frightening how resistant some people are and how, yes, how they call it, yes, how resistant they are.
0:08:34 – 0:08:44 People act against clear common sense. But I think that's also a topic for a
0:08:44 – 0:08:54 other for another podcast or another video or whatever. I'm on the
0:08:54 – 0:09:06 frightened one side and on the other side I look there already with a certain kind of
0:09:06 – 0:09:17 Respect in this way nudity, because that all sooner or later has consequences and that
0:09:17 – 0:09:24 These people don't give a shit. That's kind of serenity is kind of fascinating.
0:09:24 – 0:09:38 Yeah, what else is there? So many things. You could say so much to so many, but in the end
0:09:38 – 0:09:47 It's all so pointless. It is such a senseless lost lifetime and love effort. If I
0:09:47 – 0:10:00 think about how much energy and time we have for it – don't waste it because I personally
0:10:00 – 0:10:08 also had a very large learning curve – but invested time. How much?
0:10:08 – 0:10:16 and in and of itself for nothing, because not even the content is monetized,
0:10:16 – 0:10:25 It's just all for nothing and it doesn't have a lasting effect. Could
0:10:25 – 0:10:36 Is it a kind of content-sense crisis? Yes, I would say it's a content-sense crisis,
0:10:36 – 0:10:46 Because you invest time and energy and nothing changes. There are a few people,
0:10:46 – 0:10:52 They had been so smart and said so far and no further. And find that
0:10:52 – 0:11:03 I am positive in principle, because you pay attention to your own needs, your own
0:11:03 – 0:11:11 sensitivities. And for some, this has come so far that virtual life has deep notches.
0:11:11 – 0:11:21 Blown into real life. So I can already understand that they say I'm pulling
0:11:21 – 0:11:27 back or I drive a few gears shorter. On the other hand, I think so when you
0:11:27 – 0:11:35 leaves the stage for loud, screaming, shrill voices, then there would be an opposite pole.
0:11:35 – 0:11:41 I think you just have to find the balance for yourself. I believe,
0:11:41 – 0:11:48 This is a good approach. So a healthy balance between counter-argumentation and on
0:11:48 – 0:11:57 a calm and objective way and yes to pay attention to yourself, which does you good.
0:11:57 – 0:12:05 Because I have to say, whenever the phases are where we react little to not at all,
0:12:05 – 0:12:14 The psyche is doing surprisingly well. And the less you consume this beef content,
0:12:14 – 0:12:24 The calmer and calmer you are. Sleep is better, you have much more time for the beautiful
0:12:24 – 0:12:31 Things of life, because you also deal with the time when you are dealing with the beef content,
0:12:31 – 0:12:39 You can't deal with anything else. For example, I have the week about new ideas
0:12:39 – 0:12:48 had written blog texts, made drafts, done research, had a lot of e-mails
0:12:48 – 0:13:01 written in different places to make enquiries, to get information.
0:13:01 – 0:13:11 And that's so nice to just deal with other things. And then there is always
0:13:11 – 0:13:16 the moments where information then splashes over and over again from various corners or
0:13:16 – 0:13:26 reports also come from the AI systems, yes here it was mentioned again and there it was
0:13:26 – 0:13:33 mentioned. And then you look at that and then you think to yourself, how do people get there?
0:13:33 – 0:13:41 on it? I mean, Sarah and I, we're supposedly running a whole network by now
0:13:41 – 0:13:51 AI-generated channels and some also have an imprint and yes, I think so,
0:13:51 – 0:13:59 Guys, what's that wrong with you? There is an imprint where you can find other data in it
0:13:59 – 0:14:11 And yes, why do you suspect that we operate all these channels? And I
0:14:11 – 0:14:28 I also find this so interesting that a question in a chat gets a confirmation by repeating the streamer and then it is already a fact.
0:14:28 – 0:14:34 I mean, I also wrote a blog post about how a guess becomes a certainty.
0:14:34 – 0:14:40 You can find everything on the website of Lautfunk.
0:14:40 – 0:14:50 This is unbelievable how quickly such assumptions or rumors become confirmation and then a truth.
0:14:50 – 0:15:03 And that's all I've experienced and had to learn in the last few months, especially since March.
0:15:03 – 0:15:15 I mean, when you do content, you keep your face or your voice on the internet and then you get positive and negative reactions.
0:15:15 – 0:15:31 Some are factual, some are not factual and there you go, you learn to deal with it, because if you let all this get to you, then that would break you.
0:15:31 – 0:15:41 I mean, since March of this year, anyway, the entire comment function,
0:15:41 – 0:15:49 be it on the website, be it on YouTube and on other platforms, simply completely moderated.
0:15:49 – 0:16:01 you have to release everything and that's why only we see all the negative comments,
0:16:01 – 0:16:09 which come and that gets less and less, the less you stick with the beef content
0:16:09 – 0:16:15 busy, because then this is uninteresting, then this is not consumed and is good.
0:16:15 – 0:16:19 And what I also find totally legitimate and an order.
0:16:19 – 0:16:26 Because why should you look at or consume something that actually does good?
0:16:26 – 0:16:34 I also don't take crack or cocaine or amphetamine, because that's short or short for me.
0:16:34 – 0:16:38 It just won't do you any good in the long run either.
0:16:38 – 0:16:41 But on the contrary.
0:16:41 – 0:16:48 So starting from all the neurological problems to just over severe somantic
0:16:48 – 0:16:57 Complications. Yes, because such a beautiful amphetamine smile has something, if the whole
0:16:57 – 0:17:07 Scenes are out. Yes, you just realize that you're just thinking over time.
0:17:07 – 0:17:15 I mean, I don't necessarily have to present any purchases that have been made now.
0:17:15 – 0:17:25 Whether I have now ordered or bought things from Lidl, Aldi, Picnic and
0:17:25 – 0:17:32 How I find the things. Such a shopping haul isn't content that makes me great anyway
0:17:32 – 0:17:40 interested. So such a Rossmann-Haul is very boring for me. Even if I now
0:17:40 – 0:17:48 Yes beauty products, I wouldn't say, consumer care products. So one or the other
0:17:48 – 0:17:57 I need it already. If you keep such compression stockings on or also multi-layer dressing systems,
0:17:57 – 0:18:02 As a result, the skin suffers quite nicely and becomes dry. And then when you take off such a bandage,
0:18:02 – 0:18:09 such a compression bandage, then quietly the snow trickles. There you already have a neat
0:18:09 – 0:18:18 Mountain sheds are lying there. Even in daily applications and compression stockings do this
0:18:18 – 0:18:22 In the end, too. So the skin underneath dries out. You can't do that much
0:18:22 – 0:18:30 creaming. And that's why I need certain care products too. Apart from those,
0:18:30 – 0:18:37 Which is just obvious. Shaver and shaving foam, aftershave and you haven't seen.
0:18:37 – 0:18:44 But I'm still not interested in such shopping halls at all. That is why
0:18:44 – 0:18:51 No content for me that I would do. Or I'd spend hours with any
0:18:51 – 0:18:57 Talk to viewers on the phone and then ask the same questions for weeks,
0:18:57 – 0:19:02 where I always get the same answers more or less annoyed after a time
0:19:02 – 0:19:07 Because I asked the tenth time if anyone had any experience with women.
0:19:07 – 0:19:20 You know what I mean. If you go to the dark side of the content, the content creation
0:19:20 – 0:19:27 has come and its original core audience or audience
0:19:27 – 0:19:36 grappled, then this becomes damn difficult, if you already have a certain dependence on the
0:19:36 – 0:19:44 has income. Then it gets damn difficult to redesign your content. If you then
0:19:44 – 0:19:49 so certain shads look at or so summaries look at, then you will find,
0:19:49 – 0:19:59 that certain names are only there when it gets beefiger. Yeah, that's interesting.
0:19:59 – 0:20:16 That's why and Beef clicks horny, but is absolutely no positive content. Yes, I know,
0:20:16 – 0:20:23 This was once again an episode that would have fit in several formats. If I had now
0:20:23 – 0:20:27 brought in another interviewee, then this could have been done below limit value.
0:20:27 – 0:20:32 I could have made it a digression, but I thought,
0:20:32 – 0:20:40 Try Klarfunke. Because here I can sometimes just a bit clearer
0:20:40 – 0:20:48 become. This time I was astonishingly indistinct about who and what I mean. But you know,
0:20:48 – 0:20:57 Thoughts are free. Yes. Then I thank you for listening and say goodbye until next time.
0:20:57 – 0:20:59 Your Sasha
0:20:59 – 0:21:09 Thoughts remain, questions smoke, think on, ask on, talk on.
0:21:09 – 0:21:13 That was KlarFunk.
0:21:13 – 0:21:16 Sure, sure, funk.
0:21:16 – 0:21:18 KlarFunk.
0:21:18 – 0:21:20 Let's talk about it.
0:21:20 – 0:21:28 [Music]

Sometimes you wonder if the internet actually knows what it's arguing about. Rumors become supposed facts, conjectures through constant repetition to certainty and from small disagreements endless public disputes arise.

In KlarFunk 008 Sascha looks back on an eventful week. What begins with memories of Halloween in the 90s, old horror films and two spirited hangovers, develops into a fundamental consideration of today's creator world.

How much life time do we invest in conflicts that do not change anything in the end? Why do rumors and personal arguments attract so much attention? And how do you manage to find a healthy balance between justified criticism, necessary counter-speech and your own well-being?

Sascha talks about his own experiences with public speculation, the dynamics of live streams and chat communities as well as the challenge of not being permanently absorbed by negative developments as a content creator.

It is also about the economic dependence on attention, the possible loss of the original audience and an uncomfortable realization: Beef brings clicks, but clicks alone don't make valuable content.

A personal, sometimes ironic and thoughtful episode about digital litigation culture, self-protection and the question of what you actually want to use your time for.

KlarFunk - Let's talk about it.
