The insanity continues with different numbers appearing on absolutely every video for the number of likes. I’ve seen 12 and 1.5k (not sure what the exact number is because of display rounding) and 24. I’m still uncertain of specifically what I’m doing to cause this, but I’m positive it’s related to doing things that I shouldn’t be doing.
I’m not vain enough to expect that I’m getting some sort of special treatment from YouTube. There are some side effects related to Google functionality that are annoying but not catastrophic. If I am being sent a message that is meant to be “hey asshole, knock it off”, it could be clearer like a friendly email or termination of the offending account.
Nope, it’s not about me, I wonder what happens when things go wrong to the conspiracy theorist mentality when something odd happens. Bear in mind I can easily find a video where something as trivial as the color of clothing someone wears is granted far more significance than it deserves. Which is exceptionally ridiculous since pretty much every color is covered, it doesn’t matter what you wear, you can arbitrarily be determined to be evil, because people fall for it.
Now this kind of thing is magnified in the gematria world since every useful number is evil. I’ve spent too much time looking at gematria clowns that when I saw that first string of 111’s it got my attention. A nice number for gematria, that one. It’s right in the zone for a decent sized word or short phrase. Thanks to 666, triple digits are attributed with being more significant than non repeating digits. 111 days is a nice tie in for an arbitrary scapegoat event. Taylor Swift’s gardener’s birthday being 111 days after the start of the last concert tour and 111 weeks before this eclipse in….blah, blah, blah, blah.
Consider this post to be reinforcement on the often stated points about how gematria operates. YouTube likes, # of views, subscriber counts ARE given undeserved significance. “Hey Zach, there were 33 likes when I started to watch the video. That’s evil, so I liked the video to get it off that.”
“Attaboy!!”
Never realizing that the evilness of 34 can be found with a little bit of research effort.
“111 people died in the wildfire! Here’s my screenshots of every video having 111 likes!”
“Super Mega Attaboy! These rituals are undeniable!”
Never realizing that every number up to and beyond 111 is evil.
It’s perfectly normal to attribute extraordinary events to some kind of outside force. Something intangible like luck, karma, a benevolent deity or “being due”. Normal in the sense that we are as a species wired for pattern recognition. That doesn’t mean the attribution is logical or correct.
People have unrealistic expectations for positive outcomes. Deep down, at a subconscious level, the shittiest heroes are idolized for having done something generally considered to be wrong and gotten away with it. Maybe if I join and go gung ho into the cult mentality I can have some of that good luck rub off on me. Wearing your lucky shirt that you think makes your football team win is fine. Buying a couple of lottery tickets with your lucky numbers is fine. Idolizing someone with a proven track record of grifting on the internet, that’s not a great idea. You will never get beyond arbitrary, spur of the moment decisions based on other factors on why you think a number means something just because you were told so today. Stopping payment on your mortgage, taxes and utilities because you will receive “loyalty money” from a self proclaimed Queen, not a good idea. The wake up call will be the evictions, repossessions and the electricity being turned off.
If the issue with the number of likes on a video is simply a programming error, a bug to be fixed, it will get resolved. It just takes time. And soon two lines of other incompatible code will create something else weird. The phrase you are looking for is SHIT HAPPENS. You can live with it, maybe put some effort into fixing it, or you can whine about it and give your money away to someone that deep down doesn’t give a damn about you.
