YouTubers have begun creating videos that set out to either debunk various icebergs, explain them or simply react to the content they convey. You see, in response to this relatively new iceberg infographic phenomenon, there have been multiple genres of videos concerning them. I found “The Banana Iceberg Explained”-who would have thought?īut more important for this column, that title-specifically, the “explained” portion-is very telling. I went on YouTube and typed in various queries for “(insert noun) iceberg” and consistently received results. You could probably find an iceberg for almost any topic you might think of. I have found icebergs across a broad range of subjects. However, the information these iceberg infographics cover isn’t always as romanticized as that of the author and founder of psychoanalysis, whose methods very probably influenced the current fad. “How deep does it go?” is always the question.Īlthough not implicitly stated and perhaps unknowingly accomplished, this method of modeling data most likely owes quite a bit of credit to the “iceberg theory” often attributed to Ernest Hemingway and the “iceberg metaphor” generally ascribed to Sigmund Freud. As the data moves downward toward the surface of the water and then makes its way into the deep, dark depth of the ocean, the information becomes less and less known or available-it’s the details that we, the audience, cannot see or detect in most situations. The iceberg will often have knowledge commonly known or widely accepted at the top-it’s the “tip of the iceberg,” after all. And their point, to be fair, can vary depending on their audience. Often, the information the content creator wishes to convey is overlaid on an image of an actual iceberg to help further their point.
Icebergs, for the intents and purposes of this column, are graphics created by users to demonstrate the different layers or levels of a particular topic. When I began the TikTok research, I found myself on a few different YouTube channels discussing “icebergs”-no, not the slow-moving, slowly (but exponentially quickly) melting variety rather, the informative, illustrated category. But as I prepared to write, my research led me to a more general and widespread issue I felt compelled to cover. This wiki is still under initial construction.This article was originally going to be about the dangers of TikTok (I’m not a fan), and I may still come back to that in a future column. What are those creatures? Where did they come from? And what do they REALLY want from their video stardom marionettes? A deep conspiracy that only the bravest can dive into while the rest enjoy themselves at the tip of the iceberg. There is a monster hiding out in the shadows giving scripts & video ideas to its owners, controlling them like puppets & pulling their strings. While these content creators manage to succeed in what they're doing, behind the scenes however lies a horrible secret. An extensive information on The Muse ARG can be found at The Muse Master Document.ĭon't Feed The Muse tells the story of its 3 main characters: Alex Bale, Conspiracy Carl and The Cynical Critic, all who struck gold with their video content (Alex gained sponsorships through his insanely well-effort Spongebob theories, Carl makes nutty conspiracy videos that has gone viral due to their ridiculousness, and The Cynical Critic got hate for his controversial film reviews that are telling the opposite yet continues to generate views). This wiki documents on "The Muse ARG" including: Alex Bale, Happy Meat Farms, Conspiracy Carl, The Cynical Critic, Sonc the Blue Rat, and more.
