Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

Nocturne managed to be even more insufferable than usual in this video. For what it is, it serves its function: just a brief overview. I enjoyed NMMC's take on it:
I was about to post this video here. I liked his opinions and he at least had the courage to talk about the politics of Monument Mythos instead of ignoring it and focusing on only the monsters. I was previously put off by his channel because watching 4-5 hours of someone talking about Petscop seems like torture, but I like his shorter works.

I'm the same way. If I'm going to watch long-form content, it's going to be on a subject I really care about, and internet horror just isn't it. I think he lost a lot of his audience by injecting politics into his work, but he kept at it, which I respect, the fact that I tend to agree with him notwithstanding.

His Petscop series starts out ok but by the end was talking about how the series is really sending a message about capitalism and society, because of course. I tuned into one of his Petscop investigation livestreams once only for him to immediately sperg out at transphobes in the chat.

On the note of Petscop it's creator is recreating the series from the inputs in order to make a proof of concept Petscop DVD, where he would be able to add in extra stuff.
 
Seems like a lot of effort to go to just to hear someone say the word 'rape', but whatever makes your pecker perky!


Joking aside, the rules on what may or may not get a video booted from YT do seem ever more arbitrary. My favourite true crime channel of the moment (sorry it isn't horror but hell, this thread seems to cover true crime too) goes into deep and sometimes nauseating detail with no censoring or euphemisms at all and it never seems to get any flack. Very strange!


(warning: she is British, if that bothers anyone's sensibilities!)
Finally, an above average video about Scully. You'd think there'd be more since he's arguably he worse pedophile in the modern age.
It's also interesting that she brought up other notorious online pedos like skee and Lux. Hopefully she does more. You can easily make a hour long deep drive into skee alone.
 
New video from Lazy this one is actually interesting. I hope he just goes back to cover disappearances and read spooky stories again.
I like Lazy Masquerade because he's basically what NexPo used to be back when he was Nightmare Expo and would have list videos of bizarre things from the internet -- rather than those drawn-out boring documentaries about fake ARG's and other stuff that loses my interest after 5 minutes.
 
A really good channel for that purpose is "Unsolved No More." It's just a real cold case detective who mulls over various murders/disapppearances. The guy is extremely clever despite not seeming like it right away. I listen to his longer videos while I game.
I just did a dip into the guys channel, starting with two cases I know a bit about to get a feel for, Jonbenet you linked and Steven Avery.

Jonbenet I felt was good, no new info for me but I agreed with his conclusions.

Steven Avery... was pretty bad. Claimed that the interrogation of Brendan Dassey was fine, and that they had to force fucking feed him the critical piece of not known to the public info was a slight mistake. Holds the confession as contributing to his belief that Steven Avery killed Teresa Halbach, but not enough to support Brendan Dassey did anything to her. He feels the County not following their own recusal due to conflict of interest was just bad protocol, and didn't contaminate the entire investigation. Thinks the bone fragments in the burn pit are the lynch pin evidence and completely avoids the opposite of protocol recovery and the remains found in the quarry. I really could go crazy on his nitpicking and skipping of the questions to the evidence, but I feel it would get to long and off topic.

He seems to really have a bias in favor of police and against defense attorneys, giving the former the benefit of the doubt, but the latter the assumption of doubt. I'm going to give it a few more cases before I really decide if that one case is a fluke or if I don't like his content. I really would like to see him respond to the strong criticism to that episode, but if he did I can't find it. He seems to have weekly Q and A but they either aren't hosted on his YouTube, or he didn't do them for almost 3 months after the Steven Avery episode.
 
tbh, I am less into analogue horror webseries and more into games like Andy's Apple Farm, the LostMemory series (helped the creator debug that back in 2012-2013) and weird things in games like Utaho no tatari 2's crash. If anyone knows of a channel that covers such content, please let me know.
Some channels that I can name off of the top of my head that play and/or cover horror games like this are Alpha Beta Gamer, ManlyBadassHero, and SuperHorrorBro. ABG doesn't provide commentary, though, so he may not be what you're looking for.

Pretty much everything Google controls the promotion of is "data-driven" as much as possible. Some decisions have been better than others and the unannounced/arbitrary nature is why you get a lot of variation. I'm really going to generalize but you could write reams about this marketing process. So basically at the start you have a basic TOS of things that will get you banned, and then later some tighter rules that mean no ad money. This is one of the first major splits. If you were using YT as an archive resource and getting revenue from elsewhere you could rock right on, others had to conform to YT's policy. This is going to start a theme where if you can afford at all to not rely on them, you don't and you're the better for it.

When a lot of the more raw sorting mechanisms were replaced you also started to see certain content effectively "shadowban" channels. Channels with strong subscriber bases can still maintain, but even with external sponsors you need to adjust now if you want to grow. As these changes have increased in iteration you've had channels rise and fall and inconsistent enforcement means a lot slips through the cracks. The end result is a very uneven quality and code of conduct, some better informed than others.

I'm probably butchering his name, but Oddhead's entire channel is covering weird or spooky mysteries in both popular and "literally who" video games. Speaking of, does anyone remember that weird MLP game (no, not Luna.exe) that's about Fluttershy trying to save animals in a forest, but it you tried to play it at midnight then the gameplay would change and you had to help her avoid being absorbed by demonic entities? That was weird as fuck.

I went through a boredom-induced youtube recommendation rabbithole and there's something I find funny about how the guy running this spooky gaming channel trooned out in the few months between reviewing the Five nights at treasure island demo and the full game.
The channel itself seems fine as background noise, though.

If I didn't know it was made by him, I'd think that it's some parody.

EDIT: For fuck's sake, it's not even new.

Do you mean Fluttershy's Bunny Rescue?

It seems like he found out somehow that people came from here. And he says that we aren't welcomed well I guess it's time to pack up and leave. Some people called it he was a trannie.

Edit: This is the post that was made earlier. He has hidden comments. Guess the Trannie is now SEETHING harder than ever. RIP
*EDIT 2 IT GETS EVEN WORSE LOL
