With HBomb and Todd In The Shadows having done their duty, it appears that for the Fuck James Somerton Video Essay Trilogy to be complete, all we need is now is for Dan Olsen (Folding Ideas) to release a detailed exposé about the financial aspect of James' misdoings.
I know "This Is Financial Advice" only came out two months ago, let me have this.

Part of the reason I'm so drawn to the Folding Ideas videos/writing style is that they're so even-handed about victims of scams without pulling punches on the way their larger cultures are harmful, reactionary or misogynistic.
It's not hard to find ""comprehensive"" video essays about cults or strange internet communities, but so often their lust for narrative just creates voyeuristic exploitative content out of (often) very vulnerable people. They also typically lack due diligence with regard to larger cultural shifts in the historical moment, and just generally trend towards lazy forum "journalism".
As someone who (some time ago) used to struggle with a "warped" perception and unstable grasp on reality I appreciate the compassion for people who, at the end of the day, are being taken advantage of - but if it went so far as to pity them it would only reinforce their very isolating environment further. Its compassionate and direct sociologically, not individually, and I think that's very good. I like it a lot.

God this was painful to watch.
Conspiracy theory cult dynamics are like a keyhole built into the structure of the human brain, and we just keep creating things to fit it.

Now I'm not saying the crypto collapse is Dan Olsen's fault for blowing up with his NFT documentary, but it's 100% Dan Olsen fault. Bless his soul, he's doing the work needed to heal the planet!

I hope every victim of those sick bastard adults at Nickelodeon keeps coming forward. Please don’t be scared anymore. Come forward. You are victims. You are BELIEVED. You have so much support behind you all. Take your time to work up your bravery, your courage, your strength, but please keep coming forward. This is all so disgusting and horrible. I hope one day the Olsen Twins come forward and expose everything…. I fully believe those 2 brave women have so much they want to say…… I can’t imagine…… what they know…. What they went through.. even though the Olsen twins deserve happiness, peace, and to be left alone - to be respected and protected- I fully believe that if Mary Kate and Ashley came forward with everything - they would end Nickelodeon studios all together.
Why the FUCK is our government worried about TikTok when we have bigger issues at hand right now - and one - needs to be to bring Nickelodeon the FUCK DOWN and get justice for every victim of Dan Schneider, Brian Peck, and every sick adult there who played a part in all of this.
WHY THE FUCK was Dan Schneider paid off to go away???????????
In case yall haven’t seen this yet, please spread it around. This is new and just came out. More coming forward…. SICK.
