MFW I switch my avatar to a furry to try to derail a conversation into further complaints about furries while claiming to want to get it back on track but it doesn't work because I'm posting on a website where everyone is too familiar with my shenanigans.

Here's a challenge:
Start a browser in private browsing, for a fresh history.
Go to youtube without logging in.
Repeatedly watch whatever video you want, then return to the front page, making note of the recommeneded videos.
Your score is the number of videos required before Family Guy stops being recommended.
Lower scores are better.
Hard Mode: Get rid of late night talk shows, movie trailers, and sports shows too.
Impossible Mode: Get rid of bullshit clickbait list videos.

Just to be fair I tried this myself, with the impossible challenge. It's technically possible because the browser I use with months of history doesn't get any of those videos. But I gave up on a fresh history after 160 videos.
The interesting thing about it is that it feels like youtube is actively taunting you. You'll get an almost perfect slate of recommendations, with one offending video (often the family guy asian drycleaner video, or the brian forced mating one). Then you watch another video, come back to the main page, and nearly every single recommendation is stuff you'd get on a fresh browser, with nothing whatsoever related to what you've been watching.

On Edge, not logged in, with a search for "Ok Go I won't let you down" and watch of the first video, I went back to the home page and not a single Family Guy or Fortnite clip.
However upon my next search (siivagunner, picked first clip) and returning to the home screen, Asian dry cleaner first in line. Unreal.

I thought people were exaggerating when they said that the Japanese writing system was intentionally designed to be obtuse.
Then I discovered round katakana.

There needs to be some separate term for modern Isekai.
I've previously talked about "Western Isekai" (ex. Narnia, Three Hearts and Three Lions, John Carter, The Dragon and the George, etc.) But even in Japan if you look at classic anime like Dunbine, Escaflowne, Those Who Hunt Elves and so on and you see very little resemblance in terms of plot structure and cliches used when compared to the modern form of the genre.
(Though I'm not even sure if "modern" is the right term here. I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard about the Tanya show it doesn't seem to hit the same notes as other "isekai" shows.)
So there needs to be some new term that refers to specifically this subgenre. This is important because "other world" fiction has a long and rich history, with much of it being very creative. But the modern subgenre allows only the most minor ("gimmick based") innovation.

Honestly I think you're right on the mark about how they treat the setting. A recent isekai that I think actually does take the world seriously is honzuki no gekkokujou. Not a super serious story and it has a lot of levity in it but it generally takes the world it's set in seriously* which I think gives it a different feel from the more boilerplate isekai shows.
*There's like ONE gag sort of but the thing is that it's both plausible for an alternate universe to have that kind of weird coincidence with the "real" world and also the main character/setting overall rolls with it and doesn't really keep pointing at it and saying "ha ha isn't this so wacky"
-
On further reflection, I wonder how much of this is due to genre being a spook.
What I mean is that way back in the 30's or so there wasn't really set "genres" in the way that we think about them today. There were "types" of stories but it was more like "moods": adventure, romance, mystery, wonder, strangeness, etc. If you look at a pulp like "Weird Tales" the stories have a particular "flavor" to them but don't fit particularly well in any modern genre. Some would be called fantasy, some horror, some science fiction, some might be "magical realism," etc. It's not until much later that you get a hard divide between science fiction and fantasy, modulo some people mixing the two and thinking that they are doing something unprecedented.
But even after the initial definition of the genres, they just got more and more specialized. Take fantasy: after Tolkien it got dominated by "high fantasy" or "epic fantasy"; think stuff like Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist or the prolific Weiss and Hickman duo. Always lots of discussions of alternate cultures and worlds, the world is always doomed in some way or other, etc. Something like an old Conan story where Conan simply robs some ruins or fights pirates or something no longer fits, even though you'd have to call that "fantasy" if you're going to give it a genre at all.
And of course the same thing happened in anime. In both the east and the west a lot of the driving force was ultimately video games, with usually the pipeline being future author plays RPG tie in game -> future author makes pnp RPG campaign -> author now sells works based on campaign world. (This is also why D&D gets considerably more "video-gamey" with every edition, even in the 1st to 2nd edition transition.) As a result of all of this popular works narrow the field more and more and more. It's not "wonder" stories anymore, they have to be "fantasy" storeis in magical kingdoms. And you have to have a certain type of epic scale to them. And that epic scale has to be realized basically in a Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy way. And it's only after you do all that that writers even think about filling in their own details. So naturally everything becomes the same.
It's not like Japan is forced to do this; Spice and Wolf is a great example of how to write a story in the same broad "genre" that barely follows any of the conventions, but also isn't trying to destroy them (it's just telling a story with a different mood and focus.) But we've hit a critical mass where aspiring authors only see video games, books, and TV shows that are all in this very narrow subgenre, so they have a difficult time even comprehending that they could do something else.
But as much as I hate Isekai, they're still probably in the better situation, since over here it's the same basic problem but with capeshit instead.
-
I think you have things a bit backwards; traditionally "western isekai" were known as "portal fantasy" works, if they were referred to as a separate genre at all. Much like "anime" is distinct from "cartoon" only in the language used from a technical sense, so is "isekai" separated from "portal fantasy" or "other world fiction".

Decided that my least favorite way to lose in card games is when I'm playing second in control vs. aggro, draw a bunch of late game cards, mulligan, get more late game cards, and the aggro deck proceeds to get the perfect curve-out play.

In terms of overall success, Peter Molyneux seems to be the guy to model yourself after. He may be a joke, but he doesn't seem to get the hatred that people like David Cage, Todd Howard or whoever the spokesman for No Man's Sky do. This in spite of (or maybe because of) his claims being easily the most ludicrous.

I hate to end the speculation but it turned out that the culprit was that the company directory once again had inaccurate information. The office number was correct, it was just in another building.
I had a suspicion it was something like that, seeing as how my department as listed in the directory only contains one person who actually still works here.

Yeah the nightcore community is weird from what little shit I've seen of it. It's like someone smashed a group of ravers and a group of weebs together and decides fuck it, let's see what happens.
That being said I'd be lying if I said I didn't like some nightcore. The quality goes from "total fucking shit" to "pretty good" and it mostly depends on the original song. EDM will always take it a lot better than fucking New Divide.
