Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Title says it all. Great, the treat printer made a video that fooled people convincingly at the low low price of a few more burned acres and a few more dried up lakes and a few more tons of carbon dumped into the sky.

Honestly those language YouTubers are most of the time using some sort of trickery to come across as more proficient than they really are, and they're doing it to sell some app or whatever that super duper promises that you will, just like Famous YouTuber, become "fluent" in [ridiculously short time span]

You don't gotta hand it to them

I did notice pretty much all of them are trying to peddle a product with their language gimmick. mr-beast
