And why did you stop watching them?
HAWP, DayJobOrchestra, BadLipReading, YourGrammarSucks, LTT
Also, I do not reliably watch YouTube.
As far as I know, BLR is fine they’re just not super active.
I still wish their GoT “Medieval Land Funtime World” BLR was a real thing.
Good, I love BLR
Epic Meal Time and Pure Pwnage
Any of them actually make content anymore?
EMT does but its not the same. Show got repetitive, so I guess they changed it up, but its crap now.
Thanks! I honestly felt it got repetitive after just a few videos…
Veritasium. Over time I realized his content is mostly about flashy half baked “sciencey” content like Discovery Channel. It’s meant to get an audience and nothing more. It lacks quality control, and fact checking. I only realized how many errors his videos have when he covered a topic I know more about. Also, the whole electricity thing and self driving car debacle only reinforced my views on his content.
I stopped watching after the Head & Shoulders commercial
His shit got waaaay too long too.
I’ll end with haemmoroids if I watch his feature lengtj vids when I take a shit.
Damn algorithm really pushed good creators to ramble and add fluff.
What happened with the electricity thing an self driving cars?
Not sure about the self-driving, but he had a video challenging the idea that electrons in wires that carry electricity. Basically arguing that it was the electric fields themselves that carried the power, which is largely outside of the actual wires.
Not sure if that’s the same one where he asked what would happen if you used a light switch connected to a lamp by two wires. Apart from some truly egregious mistaken units (1s/c as unit of time), I vaguely recall thinking it was basically a huge clusterfuck of misunderstandings about what an electrical circuit diagram even is (stuff like real vs idealized components, parasitic capacitance / inductance etc.)
They’re the kind of ‘Well actually’ half true factoids that you never hope to encounter in the wild if you actually understand the stuff. For someone claiming to be enthusiastic about science communication he did one heck of a job poisoning concepts with subtly wrong/misleading explanations that make it a lot harder to explain stuff to anyone with the misfortune to encounter his version first.
That’s a bummer, I still watch him from time to time but accept it as factual. Didn’t think I needed to fact check him.
electricity works by making the electrons jump through hoops. that video was pretty damn stupid and got ripped apart by every serious EE guy on youtube.
Yogscast.
It just gone downhill after Jaffa Factory Minecraft series.
Their recent Minecraft stuff has been quite fun. I miss the yogslabs stuff.
Dr. Disrespect, there was a couple year period where the insane, over-the-top masculinity shtick was entertaining to me. Eventually I drifted away from the games that brought me to him in the first place.
Very recently, news broke that he had sexually explicit conversations with a minor on twitch.
Watched a lot of Binging With Babish and Just got tired of his schtick I think. Same with the How To Drink guy.
To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”
That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.
Yeah sometimes things just have a natural shelf life.
Community Channel…
:(
Jimmy Diresta. I’m a huge fan of makers, and the maker movement in general, and there was a time I just couldn’t wait for Jimmy’s next video.
Lately, I’ve come to feel that he no longer lets his work speak for itself. His videos used to just be really well made time lapses of him making a thing. But, for the past couple of years now, he feels the need to narrate just about everything. And there’s the faintest whiff of semi-arrogant self promotion about it, which just puts me off every time.
Don’t get me wrong. Talking through the making process is 100% OK with me. I watch plenty of makers that talk through their videos (Pask Makes, Wesley Treat, etc) but something has changed in Jimmy’s style, and I just don’t like him any more.
Shame. Arguably, Jimmy is the one that (re)ignited the movement’s popularity on the internet, but it just kinda feels he’s let it go to his head somehow.
I don’t know. I found him always the worst of this kind of makers. His work wasn’t very professional, he was kinda… Well himself, the end result was pretty meh and he had his own name plastered everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, i think he’s a smart guy, he had a high production level and knew that shoving up his name down everyone’s throat will yield him results. He even has a very shitty netflix show
James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid “ad spots” in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren’t real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.
Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.
I don’t even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn’t goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don’t care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.
Do moat people who watch her these days do so because they also watched jimquisition? I always wondered that, because to me it’s the other way around. I always saw his thumbnails but never the video. Now i listen to the podcast and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of podcasters and youtuber said that they will get “hate” for something they put out, and by “hate” they mean some 12 year olds that disagree and beed attention. I kinda accidentally went to her homepage and saw the starfield review and people in the comments were absolutely nasty. While i don’t agree with that at all, i can see gow she’s pushing buttons. Like ahe absolutely hated palworld. She hated it before she even played it, and all i could hear is that she’s such a pokemon fangirl that she couldn’t comprehend that people like that more than ger beloved pokemon and said all that palworld did was made her want to play “insert the worst pokemon game”. Same with helldivers. She wrote a review of the game in the time she was waiting in queue on launch day. She couldn’t play, so there is no review. I think that’s kinda fair in a way, but i’m pretty sure if it wasn’t helldivers 2 but something that she really liked or really wanted to like she would still waiting right now. So i’m not sure if she’s actually farming hate for engagement or what the deal is.
That’s always been her shtick though, to hate on things. Go on long rants.
I watched an Irish tech reviewer because I wanted to support local, he was decent and would have relevant info regarding pricing and release windows.
Noticed he was getting abit whiny and doing some oddly focusef videos but I made no conscious decision to stop wtching.
Remembered him a few years ago and he is gone fucking nuts with this mad US centric Trump conservative nonsense. It is honestly nearly laughable only for it is so aggressively hateful.
Both Mr. Beast and Mark Rober. They got too loud and shrill over time.
Edit: Oh and Guga Food / Sousvide Everything. They just do the same thing all over, with weirder ingredients every day, and then make shocked pickachu faces when stuff tastes shit. Ribeye dry aged for 180 days in engine oil? No shit it’s bad.
Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They’re also loud and obnoxious, so I’ve stopped watching them.
I’ve actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.
Mark Rober is a massive fraud. Recently he started selling out to the military industrial complex too.
He always seemed nice, but all he really cares is squeezing as much money out of everything.
The mistakes in that stupid weather balloon video closed that door for me. What a pretentious greedy weirdo.
Ethoslab. Pretty sure he still does quality content (probably) but I just can’t watch minecraft content anymore. Also, I don’t even have the time to watch/play everything what I really do want.
Sorted Food. Once they started with the Pass It On format they really declined. Now all their videos are pass it on sand Chef Reviews Gadets and no more actual cooking videos, especially not recipe videos.
DrLupo. I watched him a bunch when he was on twitch, but he got kinda arrogant and negative over the years. Now I watch the people he used to play with before he changed 🤷♂️
I was a Nas Daily fan back then. I just got bored of him over time, not to mention how insanely corporate his videos feel now.
