A channer calling people in a video’s comments section NPCs. Peak irony, right there.

odium ,

I think it’s a way to start a discussion thread on a specific section of a video.

Would be better if they added some thoughts of their own in the original comment.

arvere ,

like it or not, those are the people who make text search against videos possible

Bro actually posted that 💀

BakedGoods ,

This is nothing. Wait until you hear high schoolers addressing “chat” irl while not connected to any kind of chat.

PatFussy ,

Thanks chat

Sotuanduso ,

Chat is this real?

But “chatting” also refers to talking, no?
Unless I misunderstood your comment. I tend to do that.

Edit:

talk in a friendly and informal way.

Very much so. Not sure why I needed to verify it, but I would probably verify it’s indeed 2024 if you told me that it’s actually 1786, just to make sure it’s not me thinking that.

odium ,

Twitch streamers usually address their live chat as “chat”. The person you are replying to heard high schoolers addressing chat, talking like they were streaming, even when they clearly weren’t.

Paradachshund ,

I saw people talking about that as being perhaps the first fourth-person pronoun. Pretty interesting idea.

PatMustard , (edited )

Still third-person though really

odium ,

Nah, they were just talking to their friend, Chad.

Right, chat?

They are just commenting the same way they talk to their friends. People quote funny lines from movies right after watching or say stuff like, “Did you see that crazy stunt in the film?? He literally drove off a cliff!!” They get tons of upvotes too because people feel a connection by recounting and acknowledging what they collectively experienced. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

glimse ,

So much of what’s wrong with online communication is that many people speak to a public audience like they’d speak to a friend in private

Jilanico ,
@Jilanico@lemmy.world avatar

You mean people getting offended because they misinterpret a friendly jab? Personally, I wish more people commented in a friendly manner. So many toxic comments out there 😬

glimse ,

Friendly is great, I don’t mean people shouldn’t joke around.

Why is that wrong?

other_cat ,
@other_cat@lemmy.world avatar

Not the commentor but the context clues of their comments leads me to think it’s because people talk without a filter, like they would their close friends in a private conversation.

radix ,

Is it so bad to talk without a filter in a place where online community is encouraged?

slaacaa ,

Accurate explanation, though it highlights the NPC / monkey brain level of these comments:

  1. Monke see comment
  2. Monke think same
  3. Dopamine released
  4. Click like button
  5. Monke happi

Which of course happens similarly IRL, but it’s less cringe as it’s just a passing verbal comment, not captured and displayed on the web for all eternity.

ModsAreCopsACAB ,

That’s just empathy though? Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and relating to what they thought at the time. You can infer a lot more than surface level description from someone repeating a specific line mentioned in a video.

Ilovethebomb ,

Go and look at the comments on a video of any pilot doing anything remotely interesting, and see how many comments mention the pilot’s balls.

They’re not an original bunch.

Churbleyimyam ,

Bro BTW

The_Tired_Horizon ,
@The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world avatar

Or they repeat the exact same soundbite in the comments.

dropout ,

Bro calling people NPCs 💀

PatMustard ,

I guess “normies” was becoming too mainstream
