Been meaning to post about this weird account that I've been seeing for months now, always with these similar superiorly unserious headlines and weird Finland stanning.

Who the fuck is this guy?

Anyway, I do a lot of diy stuff, cooking, baking and gardening and search the internet for tips. When I go watch a YT video on whatever (this time it was how to put a zipper into a pillowcase) this guy appears in the recs without fail.

I use a vpn but the country location is Finland on it. Ubloc, firefox, no YT account or history etc. and this guy just pops up in between the baking videos.

And it's always this same dumb shit, why are they showing this here? Just warmongering? Why the fuck would anyone here care what some random american dude thinks?

This seems like such fed shit.

cia approved even.

Stuff like this has become common after the vassal status of the country was cemented.

I think it is just Youtube's algorithm, it'll show videos that are currently popular in your country, and since you're "In Finland" it's showing you stuff that Finns like to watch, which seems to be a Finnish/American military circlejerk compilation.

When challenged, the typical Finnish soldier will microwave an entire lipeäkala for 10 minutes before eating it in front of the opposing forces.

The psychic damage renders the enemy units unfit for combat and a diminished will to go on living.

Why finlands Miliatary is the Most BADASS

Is it the swastikas?

Also apparently ukraine isn't european again.

The algorithm loves this shit because people love this shit. I used to get "american reacts to hilltop hoods/a.b original/John Farnham/the seekers" videos all the time until I successfully pruned them.

Not that I didn't enjoy them. I loved that shit. It was just meaningless slop for the most part, but I did enjoy seeing people experience the art I enjoy for the first time.

I strongly doubt this guy is CIA. I've watched many of his videos.

This is a partially insincere reaction channel that covers the YouTube market niche of glazes .

There are hundreds of countries out there, and there is a react channel for each possible combination, despite the combinatorial explosion.

I thought Tyler Walker was the American glazes Canada channel. I didn't realize he switched niches to Finland.
