Underground Art is Better for You... Don't Be A Sucker

Don't settle for Amazon Prime and Disney Plus

Dr. Moze relaxes in the Phallic Cult Satellite Yurt, near Vancouver, B.C.

It goes without saying, wealthy people who sink tens of millions of dollars into Hollywood movies, also control the content of those movies. What the rest of us want, care about, or might truly enjoy as entertainment is only important when the millionaires feel they can raid our wallets. The decision-makers choose Marvel Comics or other proven franchises as being the vehicles for making cash, if they are lucky. Likewise with the Arts presented in the expensive cultural venues of New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Art by the elite, for the elite.

What is easily searchable on Google is probably not the most interesting art or literature available. Google appears to manipulate the algorithms, to steer viewers to places where Google is making the most money, to where the ad money is, to where the corporate creators reside. I notice much of my best work takes several clicks to find. By searching "Dr. Moze" or "Roscoe Forthright" especially on Google, the most popular videos do not even show up. Some tech geek might be able to explain to me why a video with 217,000 views appears eight to ten places down on a Google search of videos (the 1st place being a video which has only been seen 694 times.) And my most popular videos do not appear at all in the "All" search. A web-searcher needs to previously know that Dr. Moze and Roscoe Forthright thrive on archive.org and on hotmovies.com. Hotmovies is also hard to find, unless one already knows that name.

To me these search-engine results point to irritating algorithm manipulation. Deliberate algorithm manipulation. God only knows why.

You only get here by already knowing the title: Submit To Dr. Moze

I can only assume the creators of the algorithms are instructed to ban this or that content, for specific reasons and specific purposes. We, the viewing public of the world do not get to vote on such things. The decisions are made for us by others, a small group who get to control what is easily available online. As mentioned elsewhere, NIPPLES ARE FORBIDDEN. Someone decided naked female nipples are a public health risk.

I first noticed the squeamish, narrowing, prudish choices of internet decision-makers over four years ago when Vimeo started axing any sexual content they could find, after having it on their servers for years, and benefiting from hundreds of millions of views of that content, after building a worldwide audience, in large part based on x-rated content. But, they starting getting rich, rich ad contracts with Nissan and other corporations who did not want tits and ass playing with their expensive family-oriented ads. So-- chop, chop, chop, videos with 1, 2, 3 million or more views disappeared forever with no alternate place to view that content. Vimeo might have held onto their huge adult audience, and made millions of dollars from that audience, but they freaked-out, not wishing to offend the handful of people with the biggest ad dollars.

Regardless of what Goggle, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo and others do, attempting to control our imaginations, attempting to control our web-search scrolling behaviors---- I still win. Those 217,059 viewers were still able to find my odd, wacky, naked-girl spanking brand of comedy, and many viewers clearly told friends about it. This particular portion of my film-making art has tangible appeal, for reasons I do not even fully understand. My sexier, porn-leaning films can be tasted for free on RedTube, and are surprisingly searchable as free content on RedTube. (Again, I wonder why Google allows all the RedTube videos to pop up, while hiding the pay-per-view videos, and even hiding the most popular R-rated free videos.)

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. People are going to do whatever they choose to do. I have no desire to control anyone's choices of entertainment. Or anyone's choice of how to make money. The corporate control-freak Karens, and the Karen-Submissives will continue to do whatever makes them feel good, and whatever makes them the most cash in the shortest period of time. I am glad to provide some easy, playful entertainment for the people who want it.
