Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

tswkelbris said:
did JCS happen to go after YT at all? I am seeing a pattern of "go after YT, get taken down with excuses", happened to Deep Humor (another channel, covered strange stuff on YT-got accused of being "hacked"). Not to mention 2020's "oh, you mentioned an app on the google play store negatively and are correct, let's take your video down at the same time google takes the app down LMAO" incident.

JCS has been dramatic twits for a while now. I'm guessing they thought they had the popularity to strong arm YouTube into giving them a protected monetization status on subjects that often get shut off. Plenty of channels work off site for monetization, like guntubers. They probably looked at the kind of money million+ views kid friendly YouTubers make and made a gambit for it. Instead, they completely couldn't read the culture at YT and are being cunts about. Someone stated the videos had been privated, but the thought YouTube deleted them never even crossed my mind, and when I saw that I assumed this was the next stage of their tantrum.

Of note, I say this as a fan who hates they are acting like this instead of making new content.

I think that True Crime Youtubers ruined it for a lot of people. It's hard to find channels that talk about it in a serious manner.

The channels that discuss these topics while doing their makeup really irritate me. Idk, just seeing them talk so flippantly about actual murders while putting on fake eyelashes and lip gloss seems so disrespectful imo. Some of them even bring up pointless shit like the astrological sign of the person they're discussing as if it has any bearing on the case.

True Crime is a genre to itself. It's possible it's a genre you just don't like, but it also has a problem. True Crime content is oddly inversely meritocratic. The shit often rises to the top, and they're is a massive amount of low effort content that finds a very underserved success. There have been channels making 6 figures on Patreon that you can almost follow them word for word on Wikipedia. They offer no insight, and they often don't seem to understand what they are reading, and yet they make a ton of money off it. For every True Crime Channel I like, there is about 10 I tried and couldn't stand.

What bored me of true crime content is that besides the absolute lazyness of true crime channels the content just gets stale pretty quickly. Once you've gone through the mvps of murder you are left with a million cases that blend with one another and it becomes mundane. Even crime can be trivial.

Again, I feel like that's a problem in the low effort True Crime channels. They put the same effort into lesser known cases as big ones, and that's why their content goes to shit after they use up the well documented cases

The willingness for the community to eat the same shit over and over makes it hard to find channels that put in the work to cover new topics. I don't understand how people can watch another 2+ hour video of the frizzy haired guy that doesn't move in his interrogation. This thread I think is above average is sorting through the chaff, and still half the videos posted here are awful.

Some personal recommendations for channels that cover fresh topics, and I'd still say they're all flawed:

That Chapter: He seems to have a system where he is able to find a lot of cases in a region cause he tends to go in sets. I don't think I've ever seen him cover a car I've heard of, but he's very unengaging. He puts out content to fast, I schizo post that his over pronunciation of the letter T is a personally attack on me, and he's so pale it's hard to look at. He's fine for playing in the back ground. I want to say hit or miss, but nothing really hits or misses, it's just acceptable.

Count Dankula: "True Crime" is a bit of a stretch for his Mad Lads series, though more often than not, they are criminals. He will cover some well known stuff, but he also covers some more obscure things, his latest on the Billionaire that tried to take over the world was fantastic, and completely unknown to me.

Explore With Us: they are really harping on how their interrogation footage is never before seen, and working with former police/glowies. I think they're digging up police interrogation with Freedom of Information Act requests or something. They definitely highlight new stuff, they are VERY hit or miss, but their hits are way better than their misses are bad. They are very exploitative in their Titles and the way they cover things, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth sometimes, but their subject matter is so good at times, I will stomach it.

I had no idea what 'subliminals' are, and now that I know about them, I wish I've never watched this video. Everything about this is stupid and just frustrates me.

Man, I'm probably just getting old at this point. (:_(

This video explaining the subject is fucking stupid, the sub shit doesn't affect you at all, and it just seems like people with weird fetishes and kinks weird as all hell, but ultimately harmless especially as long as you don't believe any of effects.

Damn I'd always thought the brain eating was true. Can't help having some pity for Maudsley in his basement cell with nothing for entertainment.

His video about Robert Berdelas was really well researched and very disturbing.

ThatCringeyReading is back for part 2 of his "Safe For YouTube" Iceberg video.

Fucking hell, I hate this soyfag's infeminine sounding voice, sounds like the kind of people I have to talk to when I need to call up AT&T support. You know the kind that always have a shit eating smile filled with a passive aggressive tone as they speak.

Has anyone talked about the original video of Tara the Android singing that was uploaded to YouTube back in 2009 was copyright claimed. And the channel that uploaded it hasn't been active since 2009, so its most likely that the video is gone forever.

Let me guess, someone copied the source then copyright claimed the original, because YT can't solve blatant loopholes in their shit system? The inventor of the robot is dead from what I remember.

True crime Youtube pages have become kind of boring to me now, as well. However, the Dreading channel has piqued my interest when it comes to true crime. Particularly the Sid and Nancy video, Josh Duggar, and the recent one about Phil Hartman's murder.

Speaking of spooky robots, apparently this guy bought that puppet from the Evil music video by the band Interpol:

Hey, that's the crazy motherfucker that made 123 Slaughter Me Street and it's mediocre sequel.

He could have milked the series like many other trendy horror games but he decided to make a weird-asss puppet show project with mainly characters but with two returning from 123SMS.

The last member of the game was a goal on his Patreon but I don't know if it ever got made.

Also he makes stuff like whatever the fuck this is.


Either way I thought the dude was gone because I couldn't find his channel awhile back but here he is and seemly still making his weird ass puppet videos, it's not even surprising that he would recover an old ass creepy puppet from a music video and I see that he's already making videos with it.

His content reminds me of the weird dark side of Youtube of old when there was just out there and off color videos by creative people, they didn't mean anything and they didn't have to do, I miss those old simple times, God's speed crazy puppet dude, God's speed.

Edit: man, I watched his WOMBO video without even knowing it was him at that as well.
