YouTube. For all the years of entertainment you’ve made possible, and all the opportunities you’ve presented to so many people, I’m grateful. You’ve provided so much for so many, creators and consumers alike. I owe my job, and in a broad sense my general life to your platform. It takes a LOT to tear down that sort of built up trust. But you’ve managed to do it.

The constant changes to “the algorithm”, fair enough. The “sudden random bugs” that didn’t send out content to all the subscribers. Fine. Even when you, for some godforsaken reason decided that “Subscribe” was no longer enough, but you felt the need to add a bell, and yet a secondary step to go from “most content” to “all content”. Whatever. One would think a chronological feed of whatever recent post has been made by a channel would suffice. But you’re not alone in being guilty of this, every social network is doing it, why not you too. When the “adpocalypse” hit, and so many channels suffered, some even being unable to sustain, still most seemed to rally and say it’s not YouTube’s fault, YouTube is not the bad guy, there are only some bad creators, bad users. They’re doing their best.

I’m no longer convinced of this. When your system automatically flags the majority of content uploaded as “non-advertiser friendly” without having a clue what the video actually is. When you offer no way whatsoever, of whitelisting a channel with good track record. When you manipulate feeds and recommended videos, and prioritize content that will make you money, over content that actually appeals to the user. When you’re SO clearly granting preferential treatement to those who can “make you look good” rather than being good. When a “top tier” creator on your platform can make a multimilliondollar-living out of being as disrespectful and morally despicable as (sometimes) legally possible. When a “top tier” creator on your platform can broadcast a victim of suicide to millions of underage people… and you do nothing.

Not a single action has been taken, the best you could do was to claim your “hearts went out to the family”. Why not add in “one like equals one prayer” and “every retweet saves a child” while you’re at it. You don’t care, this much is clear. You don’t care, as long as you’re making money. You are a business, I know, but you CAN do both. You so badly want to be TV, that you never stopped to consider why so many people have almost stopped watching TV all together, in favour of you. Count your blessings, that you have no competition, I for one would jump ship in a heartbeat. If I’m wrong, tell me. Tell us, something. Anything. Ever.

Osomatsu: Says legitimate meaningful things but words them terribly, sloppy, brothers see him as a plain figure (no defining qualities), strategic..sometimes.., likes to eat a lot, all talk but is quite shy around attractive female strangers, claims his lust is charm, “Winter magic??”, gets along with Todomatsu well (despite the mixer mishap), doesn’t want to change - don’t like it either, won’t feel guilty for very much, confirmed that he’s a really good fighter, terrified easily when it comes .. uh the whole chibita’s revenge concept - I’m bad at wording i’m sorry, 

Karamatsu: Actually gets drunk with his brothers, not really that narcissistic, probably has some sort of fetish for sexy radishes, counterparts have large asses (eg. Summer Karmen’s uh.. speedos and Karako’s chest), favourite season: Summer, doesn’t particularly get angry - hints smoothly, Thinks rather highly of his younger brothers - Nicer to them (Not so sure about Choro, suiriku has a weird duo relationship) but has more of a ‘bro bro’ relationship with Osomatsu, will openingly admit that Osomatsu’s a shitty eldest, heavy sleeper, Timid - can’t say no, easy to manipulate, cries alot, claimed ‘timid’ but straight up abandonded choro - Choromatsu is the only one he can say no to?, 

Choromatsu: Parents most reliable source, socially awkward, won’t put up with shit/lazy attitude, wants to become an idol manager - to somehow make them go out with him, bluntly admits he’s a desperate virgin, not interested in idol’s music whatsoever, says it as it is, sees his brothers as idiots(?), clumsy - even if it’s not drunk, 

Ichimatsu:  Actually gets drunk with his brothers, fragile heart - can be hurt quite easily, socially awkward, talks to himself, claims to be ‘pretty normal’, a domestic party peep - enjoys Halloween, wants to have friends, wants an Instagram, (not much of a character development but a weird coincidence) puts his hands in his jean pockets the way Karamatsu does it, light sleeper, 

Jyushimatsu: Has a top shape body, is aware of things (I can’t word this properly hh), can be legitimately serious when he’s determined, pulls the “I’m a NEET” sympathy trick to persuade, heavy sleeper, can literally pick up his own brother(holy shit), 

Todomatsu: Has his own Matsutube/Youtube channel, has literally no heart, “Don’t touch me.”, claims he has friends despite not knowing what the literal term “Friend” means, claimed as the ‘millenial’ of the group, hygienic as hell, willing to ruin himself to uphold reputation, gets along with Osomatsu well (despite the mixer mishap), stands back - doesn’t really like to help,

Feel free to add more or correct me at all! I just skimmed through the episodes so I can’t exactly catch every single character development that staff had to offer lol

Season 1: Kara says no, is physically and painfully punished for it by Totty.

Season 2: It comes to light that Kara is afraid to say no in case his brothers might become angry, Totty immediately becomes emotional and apologises.

Oh ho?~ A connection? Kara gradually becomes less inclined to stand against his brothers for fear of being punished and Totty realises his past mistakes, taking action to rectify them?
