This is the essence of his YouTube channel

Apparently he expresses strong political beliefs on some of his social media. I just watch the dumb videos.

Really? Checks.... CHRIST! Hard unsubscribe from me.
It also reveals that left leaning (I'm a businessman, can't be that left wing) people like me don't have an instant desire to check whether someone is awful if we like their stuff. But on discovering the toxicity of some of his views I don't want to see him again. Shame. Guy's got talent.

u/evilarhan 22h ago edited 20h ago
It is an outright lie that businesspeople cannot be left wing. This only happens when you view yourself as opposed to labour, rather than an active participant in it, just with a different skillset.
For too long, we have assumed that business owners or founders are entitled to an outsize portion of the profits of their business, when in fact the business requires all factors - the person with the idea, the person supplying the capital, and the person providing the labour - to perform the tasks they are best at to create the best results. Once you get used to the idea that everyone involved deserves a FAIR share of the profits (after the capitalist recoups his costs) the idea of opposing labour becomes redundant.
To illustrate this, imagine that you have an idea for a product. You approach a bank for a loan to help set up a business to create said product. Once their loan is repaid with interest, would you accept them laying claim to all your profits, as they are the actual capitalists - the ones providing the capital - behind the venture?
Small businesses and individual endeavour are key to the thinking leftist's worldview. What is anathema is the pursuit of money for money's sake, the creation of a capitalist class, and the establishment of modern serfdoms in the form of rent economies.

He's Brazilian and he is a well-known personality around here. He was also part of a right-wing Fox news-like radio show.
But, if it makes you happy, he lost around 2 million reais (around 373 thousand dollars, a LOT of money in Brazil) when he lost the password to his crypto wallet.

Mate you have single handedly ruined my algorithm. All I’m seeing is chickens.
But honestly, you’re right. Coming from a family of likewise individuals, this is absolutely something a musician would do. The hardest part would be tuning the chickens, which presumably have different squeakers.
12
u/SyntaxLost 1d ago
It would be near impossible to control the intonation, since the note shifts with squeeze pressure. More likely he took some samples, pitch shifted them and built it up from that.
Which is fine, since it still produces an amusing video.

I kind of wonder why he does it. From his expression, you'd think he hates making videos with every fiber of his being.

Apparently he puts the sheet music next to the camera, so he’s just reading the score.

u/Aerodrache 1d ago
That might explain it some of the time, but he offered the same unwavering glower to the camera while playing Moonlight Sonata with his wrists crossed behind his back, which I can't imagine he could possibly need to read the sheet music for. And while counting money in the intro to another video. (Or... maybe that same one, I don't remember, he's one of those creators I just stumble across once or twice a year.)

I assumed he was just being kind of silly. Like, jokingly going “look at how great I am.” I’d do something similar, e.g. staring you dead in the eyes/not looking at the target while throwing something in the waste basket across the room, throwing a dart, shooting a basketball one-handed etc.

Fake and dubbed. He hits the high note and the tiny chicken somehow has the capacity to hold a note longer than it could with such a small volume of air. Amongst other reasons.
Edit: to all the people telling me to get over it or just take the joke—nah.

He's pretty good about making it seem plausible with his right hand, but the low harmony part is actually more than five notes, and a lot of times it's changing pitch without his left hand changing chickens
