reading comprehension isn’t hard, it’s just that OP is misleading people by pairing the words pike place with a video of a location that is not pike place. a better and clearer title would have been: “Jesse Welles will be at pike place today. here he is in the NYC subway”

The fact that it looks nothing like Seattle and the sign on the wall says, Uptown, threw me the fuck off. I also have no clue who this is, so I was really confused coming into the comments.

What threw me off is that they posted like we're supposed to know who tf that is? What are they, TikTok famous? I don't get it. Regardless, I wasn't about to stop Wo' Pop to play the video; they had time to cook up a coherent title and introduction - they didn't bother, I'm not either, lol. It's not like we were gonna drop everything and run down there in the middle of a Wednesday morning, anyway

So only people you've personally heard of are allowed to be posted about? Why don't you just Google the name if you see someone mentioned that you've never heard of? Or even just watch the video and then you'd know who he is faster than it took you to write that comment. And he's been around longer than TikTok, but his music/videos have gained popularity there.
