Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

zettalow said:
I found Local58 around 2 or 3 years ago and found it genuinely entertaining only to come back and find an entire genre of "analog horror" like it has sprouted out of nowhere, but holy shit it's bad. Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical but seeing stuff like the Mandela Catalogue makes me want to gouge my eyes out just cringing at the total and complete lack of subtlety, missing what made people like Local58 in the first place.

One thing I hate about a lot of recent analog horror is that it's really anachronistic. The style doesn't really fit the time it's supposed to be representing and it just seems to rely on "old warbly stuff is super duper creepy!" rather than anything that seems realistic. This probably doesn't matter to a lot of the audience it's targeting since it seems to be made for younger people who didn't grow up in the pre-digital era, but it just has no charm for me.

I love Local58 because it so perfectly captures local access tv of the era. It just has all the right touches.

I really...... dislike...... the way all of these 'mystery' youtubers..... are starting to talk.... like nexpo......... with those.......... . .. .. . .. . . .. unnecessary ....... .. .. . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . . pauses.

I've been following this guy's videos for a while - his content isn't bad per se, but his way of talking like Nexpo does really ruins the mood for me. I'm not sure if he's been doing it from the start but it's so painful in this video. Or maybe it's just me.

I don't know who started the trend of taaaaalkiiing veeerrryyyy slooooowwlyyy and putting a downward intonation on the final words of every sentence, but it's unnatural and awful, and I never heard it until recently. It's terrible, and suddenly everywhere. As if vocal fry somehow wasn't horrible enough, and the world needed something even more painful to listen to.

It doesn't help that a lot of the more recent channels trying to get a foothold in the genre are simply following the leader. Analog Horror is a genre which is ripe for new interpretations and experimentation, but instead everyone seems to be more or less going in the same direction. If it's not aliens or cultists, it's weird storms and eldritch beings beneath the ground. Compare this to Eventide Media Center, of which one of their recent episodes has a very novel, if slightly mad concept - a water park that's really run by a whole company of mad scientists whose goal is to feed humans to a giant fish - but the atmosphere is what sells it and makes it work. If more people were willing to experiment and come up with their own ideas, I have a feeling the genre would be much more popular, but also much more interesting beyond the best known examples out there.

No idea what people in this thread's opinion on Kendall Rae is, but I do listen to her videos while working and it's fun to see which pet is in the shot when I look back to YouTube.

I unsubbed from her after AJW (Actual Justice Warrior) called her out about her not researching something for her true crime podcast and she blocked him on Twitter for it, even though they had never interacted before. So basically, she and the other host were saying this poor black guy hadn't actually killed a man and stole his vehicle, when his sister and kids were in the car with him, the murderer tried to blame his accomplice for it (who was also black), even though the dead man's sister was able to accurately describe the guy. The dead man's daughter had waved at the murderer before he killed her dad and the murderer remembered she did that.

The murderer's family lied for him and Kendall tried say he was a college athlete when he had flunked out after basically his first semester (he lost his scholarship because he made a GPA of .8 or something) and was never on any team and this guy has been trying everything he can to get out of prison. The dead man's family are trying desperately to keep him there. And the guy also has a history of carjackings and being violent.

New lazy masquerade video.
It's shit.
Pacciani's story is such a convoluted mess, a perfect analogy for Italy at the time and this retard did not even bother to scratch the surface, I am quite disappointed.
Also how nobody bothers to mention all the weird stuff that happened during the years of lead is beyond.
. You have horror, intrigue, paranoia.
Everything you need for a perfect creepy narration and what do you do instead? Repeat the same cases everyone else did.
Fucking mental man.

Yes, I believe that was the documentary that the podcast was talking about. He was a good boy who din do nuffin, it was his accomplice though, who is also black. I doubt he'll get off though, AJW was using a local news story about it and it seems they were on the side of the dead man's sister and his kids, who are adults already. The guy asked for a pardon from the governor, but I think it's in Oklahoma, so hopefully the governor is a smart man.

Speaking of ARG'S has there ever been one where the people involved have been in actual "danger"? I know it sounds cruel, but I feel that these gay-ass "games" are only interesting if the group making them turn out to be actual victims of some serial killer .

Do you mean in-universe or the series' creator has actual experience with danger? If the former, depends on the ARG, if the latter, problaby not. But, why does this matter? The fun comes from immersing yourself in a world like ours, yet different and following its story or from racking your brain to solve puzzles and theorizing about the ARG's meaning.

It's not the first time that I've heard that Kendall just watches one documentary and regurgitates what was in it, but I never bothered to check and compare myself.
I know her Hiccup Girl video was thought to be bad by most of her fans lol

She also got backlash on YouTube years ago when she started whining and begging fans for money, to buy the house she now has.
 
What is it with fake missing people anyway? That's a second case I've heard of.

Selene Delgado in Mexico is an example of it.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Yeah, country with thousands of missing people every year makes up this one girl for some reason. My point was "why do people look for mystery where there is probably none".
