what ever happened to pony thread simulators?i miss the good old days of homeri really miss the ride
>>43160242>homer
>>43160242These are, that I know, the only two channels you could say are still active about themthese are their latest PTS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi8KIV2SFLshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQeLqMEyixI
>>43160242g4 toys are so ugly
>>43160242The concept is tired.
>>43160424yeah im tired of you
>>43160424I want to slap this anon until they're tired
some unfunny person named bgm tries to do them now
>>43161481Don't really see how the funniness of the person posting them even matters, it's the board content that makes a simulator funny or not.
>>43161491the board has it's funny moments, this guy just sucks putting them together, dude wastes minutes on unfunny skits
>>43161515What skits? It's all board content.
>>43161521ok bgm nevermind you make the best bread stimulators dude
>>43161528Ok good talk I guess. To your credit at least you lasted two posts before giving up. I was expecting to be called bgm the moment I disagreed.
>>43161535lookin' forward to the comedy magic you'll undoubtedly weave with this snippet of board content
>>43161544Thanks. I'll include a special shout out to you. I'm also Batsy and firlin btw.
>>43160242Most threads these days are dogshit imagedumps. Nothing fun or interesting happens anymore, and nobody talks about anything because there's nothing to talk about. Anybody trying to make a thread simulator in current year has NOTHING to work with, especially post hack. The ride does end, and you're witnessing it slow down in real time.
>>43160268>not mentioning the channel that's even more active in making PTSs that's literally linked in the description of the first video mentionedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p67C4HQFOzABGM isn't making PTSs anymore, generally speaking. I'd say k00l is the one whom is the most prolific PTS-maker currently.
bump, autistic rant incoming
>>43161481>>43161892bgm's last few pts videos aren't up to his usual standards. He should keep his music and pts stuff more separate in the future. He's a gifted musician, but something tells me he's trying to recapture the lighting in a bottle that was that Fluttershy song. I think he'd be much better off treating the pts as its own thing moving forward. His editing style is by far the most appealing, but some of the reaction clips are a bit overused and out of place (k00l also falls victim to this). k00l has always been the fast food of pts. Shit, but at least it's consistent. Every video contains the same old iwtcird threads, what's PonksPo's name, etc. If you're wondering why the board feels especially shit once every month, then you can direct your gaze towards him. His videos bring negative value to the board, because he vindicates low effort shitposts. He gives bloat threads and slide threads a pedestal to stand on in his videos. It's only natural that newfags ,starved for attention, leap on that ride.Homer has become more of a symbol lately. People blindly praise his work. I think it's entertaining, but not all that special. He may have set the foundation for pts videos, but that doesm't necessarily mean he mastered the medium.Alexo is someone I don't watch. From >>43160268 he seems to be a diamond in the rough. He isn't afraid to deviate from the typical formula. The AI stuff at the end was a bit sloppy though and the phone aspect ratio definitely didn't make it go down any better. t. someone who's posts are frequently featured in these (maybe I'm the problem 0c0)
>>43161997I didn't read any of this. Just thought I should let you know.
>>43161997>Every video contains the same old iwtcird threadsDo you think he's the one making them when they pop up time to time when they aren't used to *ahem* "speed up the board" to kill certain threads the speedster doesn't like
>>43162005pic related>>43162006No, but I do think his videos encourage anons to make them. Obviously he isn't the sole reason they exist, but I'm willing to bet that his videos play a significant role in their existence.

>>43162132>>43162145Any other boards you fags cycle through when you get the marching orders?

43162151I think I too am insane
>43162149
>>43161997I, for one, actually like the editor-inserted reaction clips. I think it gives the PTS videos a bit more flavor, and the sense that the editor is reacting along with the viewer.as for the low-effort shitpost, bloat and slide threads... as you said yourself, it's just attnetion whores. and I think they're after more than just PTS editors' attention. some people are just like that, and would still do it regardless. besides, 4chan is one of the more well known websites out there - and the more traffic a website gets, the more the garbage piles up.k00l does give attention to funnier stuff. I think his videos feature the full range of posts' quality. the reason for the low effort shit being included is the fact that there isn't too much to work with - don't forget that PTS videos are meant to make fun of the board's users, so the more out-there the post, the more it'll be sought after by PTS makers.also, alexo literally showcased the same shit iwtcird-type of thread that k00l did... and his PTSs are shorter.
>>43162254>don't forget that PTS videos are meant to make fun of the board's userscouldn't have said it better myself, which is why I find BGM's PTS's to be kind of missing the point, as they spend more time jerking off and pandering to this board an it's shenanigans instead of roasting it
>>43161997>Homer has become more of a symbol lately.I agree, but also think there's something to be said for the way he essentially set the standard by which all PTSes thereafter are held to.>>43162254>the reason for the low effort shit being included is the fact that there isn't too much to work withNTA but I think he would benefit from giving his a bit more time to breathe between releases. He's got the skills to make a truly memorable one, but most feel weighed down with done to death board memes and low effort greenbait threads.
>>43161997>>43162254Also on the note of alexo's, his always felt weirdly slow paced to me. With tighter editing someone could probably cut at least 1/4th out of the runtime without even getting rid of anything. What's there is good, but stretched like taffy.
>>43161997you're really gonna diss my boi bgm like that
bump
>>43162254>I, for one, actually like the editor-inserted reaction clips. I don't hate reaction clips. I just think that that the specific ones used are stale and overdone.>k00l does give attention to funnier stuff. I think his videos feature the full range of posts' qualityI suppose, but my main issue is that he spends too much time on mediocre posts. I'd be more accepting if the threads only flashed on screen for a few moments for the sake of completion.
>>43161557anything not an image dump is immediately accused of being a slide thread, and half the time they are right
>>43161557>The ride does end, and you're witnessing it slow down in real time.We're just heading up the ramp.
>>43163054Shiet nigga wats green boi gonna do bout it? I like his work, which is why I don't want to see it go to shit.
>>43161481Hm, an earlier Anon >>43160268 linked that guy. Lemme check it out>goes to channel playlist>sees 11 entries>the first 4 are like a year apart from each other??? I didn't even get done the one posted 2 months ago yet but remembering you saying "tries to do them now" stunlocked me. What could Anon possibly mean by this?
>>43162027Happy hooves, happy hooves.That ain't Twilight WOMBO COMBO
>>43163321he thinks they suck
>>43160242Other anons ITT have already made these points, but to summarize>only a few guys are still making them>they're making them for the sake of emulating the past and not because they genuinely want to share new board funnies>the board has less OC in 2010+16 than in the past>what genuinely funny OC IS created often happens in the middle or toward the end of threads, which the aforementioned PTS makers never see because they only skim the catalogue for easy content and tired memes>a lot of the stale meme threads that clog this board aren't even organic and are created for the purpose of getting into a PTS
>>43164648your reply isn't organic
>>43160242I hate when the video makers shamelessly force their own posts into videos. They are never funny. Kool has this problem the worst.

>>43164673>>43164674Where's everyone going? Bingo?
>>43164648Is there even a way out at this point other than actually looking through more threads? The board having less OC isn't really a problem yet because there were PTS worthy threads that didn't make any cut in lieu of original but mediocre threads. All the curated autists who made genuine "don't discuss with your parents" content probably died or went insane by now, but there is still funny content.
>>43165338If you're asking whether it's possible to make good Pony Thread Simulators without scrolling through threads beyond the first 10 posts, then no. Like you say, there's plenty of good content, but you won't see it directly on the catalogue.
>>43163208>k00l spends too much time on mediocre posts. I'd be more accepting if the threads only flashed on screen for a few moments for the sake of completion.On that, I agree. the least he can do is speed them up by 33 to 50 %. his collab with BGM did have them sped up, and that alone doubled the video's entertainment value IMO. I called it "argueably one of the best PTS videos" in the corptube comments because it had better pacing.>>43163002I do agree on the beating-a-dead-horse part, but I will re-iterate that there isn't much to work with in this board. any PTS video maker has to put more effort into finding genuinely funny posts, which runs the risk of killing the fun of making PTS videos.
