    AngryJoe is getting there for me… Or as my wife says, AnalJoe.

    He’s so fucking anal about everything, he doesn’t know how to balance his critics and Alex is just the worst. They’re full of themselves and simply got money and fame to get to them.

    They simply aren’t enjoying things anymore and will divert their entire video to only ever criticising. The fallout review was a shit show. They’re entitled to their opinion, but their high horse attitude and completely glossing over the valid criticism, they instead cherry picked easy to tackle comments and doubled down.

      Years ago I stopped watching him when I realized he complained about video game developers making low quality non-innovative games but his video game reviews were low quality and non-innovative.

      Complaining is his shtick, it’s in the name. It’s well-known that negative reviews get more clicks.

    Understandably a lot of talk about YouTubers who have changed for the worse, but there have been a few who IMO have changed for the better. Granted, a good number are more towards the burnt-out end of the spectrum, and considering retirement within a few years.

    Jacksepticeye for example, used to put on a more energetic “youtubery” persona that appealed to the algorithm, and now he’s a lot more down to earth and considerably more pleasant to watch. That’s not to say the persona wasn’t still him, or that he was entirely fake for all those years, but I find his new content much more enjoyable than his older stuff - even if there is less of it.

    Me with CinemaSins.

    CinemaSins: nitpicks something

    Me: “That’s literally answered five minutes from now in the movie.”

    CinemaSins: nitpicks the thing that explained the thing they were nitpicking

    Me: tears hair out in frustration

      This is where Cinemawins comes in, fun positive takes on films (yet often with genuine critique thrown in too).

      It’s the channel that introduced me to how excellent the first Trolls movie is :-)

      I thought they stopped doing YouTube to be honest, they stopped getting recommended to me years ago even though I was subscribed

      Edit: Turns out their latest upload was 3 years ago so I wasn’t far off

        I stopped watching them while they were still making YouTube vids. The peak for me was the 2016 H3 Summer Look video. https://youtu.be/vDDCKvCQ0RA I haven’t rewatched it recently but some of the stuff I’ve rewatched I haven’t enjoyed as much. It’s a combination of not aging well but mostly my tastes changing. But I loved the more casual videos on the Ethan and Hila channel. It looks like it has been renamed now though.

    I watched Phillip Defranco religiously from 2007 until bout 2018/2019. I’m not sure if he changed, or I just got older and aged out of his demographic. Always talking celebrity nonsense and no-name youtubers. Still seems like a good guy though.

      I also dropped off of him hard until about a year ago. I’d say give it another shot. Not as much drama click bait as those days

    Hm… I don’t get easily attached to people and I easily get detached to people. I was a fan of Patrick Bet David, until I realized he’s just another Zionist shill. Same with Jordan Peterson, another Zionist shill.

        Patrick Bet David is a right wing, jingoist, religion pushing, bigot who’s primary income come from an MLM financial services company. So… yeah.

        Oh looking at their comment history, eugenics idealization, anti-democratic sentiments, anti-DEI virtue signaling, and this is all before I had to hit next.

            Awww, the eugenicist, who wants to get rid of democracy thinking that will make authoritarianism less likely, is calling people names. How cute.

            Now, go back to your online MLM gurus, and pseudoscience beliefs, sweetie.

    PewDiePie after he reached 100 million.

    There’s no effort anymore in his content, just turn on the camera and record whatever is in his mind at the moment.

      Eh, it’s not like his videos were ever particularly effort-heavy. He’s always just made what he felt like making, and I respect that even though I don’t like his content anymore either.

      He never gave up his integrity and now he’s just doing what he loves and living life, while presumably also providing a great life for his daughter. So when he pops up on my feed I just feel happy for him, and I scroll on by.

      He never struck me as someone who put any real effort into his videos. It was mostly just him just yelling about stuff.

      I never understood his market appeal.

      I stopped watching after he aided in the platforming of Ben Shapiro and said the glass ceiling didn’t exist. That and the n word scandal.

      Says a lot about where our society is going.

      I know someone is going to make it sound easier than what it really is, but having to sift through the site, fighting against the algorithm’s sorting to find something you like is hard.

        I hate how it somehow decided I was interested in Brexiters’ woes and keep pushing an insane amount of videos about it in my feed, and the more I tell it I’m not interested, the more they pop up. it legitimately makes me reconsider my YouTube premium membership.

    For all the people in here down about their favorite creators, I’d humbly like to ask you to check out NKFHerping. Channel is basically Steven Irwin re-incarnated as some dude from Georgia flipping over trash and finding snakes and turtles.

    Hopefully this makes your day better.

    William Osman comes to my mind for this one. He used to do fun, cute projects, but slowly got increasingly “edgier” and clickbaity.

    After he did a 10 minute dive on how he stalked, catfished, harassed, and doxxed (never mind fraudulently getting a signature on legal documents from) this guy for calling him a “loser”, I was just left thinking “what the fuck kind of ass are you now”.
