Ryan George of Pitch Meetings is great if you’re sick of the formulaic, pandering Hollywood franchise movies.

Dave Borlace has an informative, although a bit dry channel on climate change and clean technology, Just have a think - There’s a lot of unreported innovative stuff out there.

And finally, my favorite, Rollie Williams’ Climate Town - The entertainment + information value of this channel is just unmatched. The creator is a comedian and has a degree in climate science and knows his shit of both worlds.

I’m sure for many trolls the goal is mainly to cause a reaction, and I think the alt-right stuff is an easy way to do so. Maybe that’s a better way to put it.

Then there’s the crowd that populated r/the_donald back in the day. Not sure how much of that was just trolling, but I’m certainly glad not to see that activity here.

I have also noticed the absence of alt-right/populist right-wing people. But that could go under your point 2. It’s refreshing nevertheless.

Also less guerilla marketing. Not missing that shit one bit.

I once had a roommate in the basement who basically never left his room. He used to wear some kind of gloves at all times, and was once seen outside at around midnight going to the nearby park with a garbage bag full of who knows what. We joked that he was some sort of a serial killer, but in reality the poor guy probably just had a fair amount of mental health issues.

In another apartment the landlady looked like a stereotypical brothel madam. Sort of old, lots of make up on and a big hair. Whaddayaknow, we had a prostitute ring going on in the building. Lots of strange, nervous dudes waiting at the door late at night, young women with a lot of make up and skimpy clothes coming and going with suitcases… Until one day there was police tape over a handful of the doors and the picture of our apartment building in the local paper. At least our next door neighbor was a lovely old man who still sends us cookies that taste strange and are borderline edible - but the gesture is terribly nice. Good times!

Edit: Thanks OP for doing a question like this here. Of course it’s ok to ask technical questions, but they are just a lot more boring than real life stories - I hope we get them going and I never have to go back to askreddit.
