What do you find irritating about YouTubers?

Here's something very minor and petty to complain about, but it irritates the living hell out of me:

I can't fucking stand it when Youtube videos (especially longer ones) don't have an outro or any indication that the video is over. This is because about 90% of the time, my Youtube viewing is actually used as background noise when I'm doing other things, and I like long-form content for that very reason. I get fucking frustrated when the video abruptly stops with no indication that it's over, which leads me to believe there's dead air or that my internet connection crashed. Yesterday I was listening to a long documentary as I was doing housework, when suddenly he stopped talking after one of his sentences, and I thought my internet was fucked up for a moment. I went back to my laptop and saw the video was over, and the guy speaking didn't give any indication that it was done. This is especially annoying for long-format essays when it just suddenly ends, and doesn't have a conclusion to the end of the topic; it just kinda stops.

As much as we roll our eyes over the whole, "Like and subscribe!" routine, I'd much prefer they do something like that when the video is over, so that I know it's truly over... as opposed to the damn video just abruptly ending.

Granted, there's a right and wrong way to do this. The right way to have an outro is to simply be like, "If you liked that video, be sure to like and subscribe and leave a comment below!" followed by 15 seconds of music as it has the end title cards. The wrong way to have an outro is fucking Omegon whose outro is like a whole fucking minute and a half.

Any talking head youtuber that picks an article that confirms their own political bias and just straight up reads from it. Culture War 'tubers are notorious for this kind of shit, and precisely why I stopped following a lot of them. If I wanted to read the article, I'd go and read the article. I don't need you talking me through it as if I'm fucking retarded.

God that's like those stupid fucking videos and tweets that psycho-analyze every little movement and face someone makes when they're a criminal. Old footage will air of a guy hugging his wife he murdered and everyone's like "you can see by her arm she was scared of him!!!"

I've noticed a lot of dancing around certain words to avoid flagging or demonetization, and it really annoys me. I'll be watching someone like, say, Wendigoon talking about a serial killer:

"So now we arrive at 1983, and it's at this point in his criminal career that we see him begin to, erm, take certain, let's say, non-consensual liberties toward women..."

And in my mind I'm yelling, "Why can't you just say RAPE?" I can't decide if these people are pussies or if YouTube is just so woefully mismanaged that its wokeness can't differentiate between a legal term or an obscenity.

With that, I will add iceberg videos. I'm tired of those turning up in my suggestions. Oh, yay, someone made another boring list to spend 47 minutes reading.

So much this. I've seen similar things where true crime channels will say vauge things like, "She was abducted after a party, then the police found her body in the woods 9 days later, and well, you can take a guess what happened to her. All I can say is yikes!"

And I'm like, "What happened? Did he rape and kill her? Did he decapitate her and fuck her neck? Did he cover her in barbecue sauce and let the fire ants eat her?"

> I plan to stay and continue making videos no matter what since this is my passion and calling in life.
Then why not go to another platform like Odyssee? If re-monetization is not that big of an issue then why not leave and just shill your Patreon? This is how you know these people aren't genuine when they say shit like this. YouTube literally demonetized The Act Man for calling out some guy who was blatantly breaking just about every major rule on the site. This should have been the wake up call that JewTube does not and will not care about you, and will punish YOU instead if you try standing up. And its been obvious for years, this wasn't the first time that horse face bitch wrongfully punished another YouTuber for having a compliant. How could this asshole not see this eventually happening to him? Then again, why actually care until you yourself is being affected specifically. The Act Man even had the nerve to title his now removed video "The Dark Age of YouTube" as if this shit hasn't been happening sense 2015.

If the Act Man really didn't care and just wanted to make videos for people to watch, they would have just left at this point. There are other options out there, they just don't want to put in the work to make it viable or take a risk. I'm sure a good chunk of The Act Man's audience will follow him if he changed platforms, plus the ones that follow him are more then likely the people who donate to him anyways so money shouldn't be a concern. He could also make a bigger statement by getting some of his friends with big channels to leave with him to pioneer another platform and make it more appealing for other disillusioned content creators. I mean, what do you think is ogin to work more? Complaining for the 5 millionth fucking time, or ditching YouTube for good and have others follow suite? Nothing is actually going to improve until they start losing their user base.

This goes for the same as other big YouTubers like Some Ordinary Gamers and Critikal. They bitch and moan about how things are bad on YouTube but oddly enough never leave. They are somehow under the belief that if they just try to reason with the corporation SURELY they'll listen. After all, they have a single twitter account that is monitored but one guy to take complaints. YOUTUBE CARES YOU GUYS! Imagine not being able to send complaints on the same platform but you have to use another fucking platform instead. That's how much of a shit that YouTube really cares about it's regular users. You have no say in how the site is run unless you are some big corporation or journalist with 10 followers. Seriously think about that. A editorial writer on some fuck off "news" site has a greater say then what the largest content creators on the actual site has.

Here's some petty things which really piss me off about any Youtube channels, big or small:
  • When people brand/watermark content that does not belong to them. This isn't about reaction channels (although they're their own special kind of gay), but rather when small channels upload clips of movies, TV, or entire songs, but they have custom intros, outros, or watermarks over the video. For example, let's say I'm trying to find a specific gag from the Simpsons, and I'll locate the exact clip, but the first few seconds have an intro telling you to like and subscribe, and throughout the video there's a shitty logo for the OP's channel like "Mike420's Simpsons Vidz" or some retarded shit, then the end has like 10 seconds of music telling you to subscribe again.
    • Back in early pre-2010 Youtube, music uploads were absolutely guilty of this, and if you look for lyrics videos from pre-2010, they have that iconic blue background + white text Windows Movie Maker intro telling you the name of the song for about 10 seconds with complete silence, and the end has a credits telling you the video was created by [OP's name] and the video belongs to him.
      • To see specifically what I'm talking about, here's a lyrics video from 2009 which has a long intro and long outro of dead silence, telling you to like and subscribe.
    • There was an unauthorized channel a while back that would re-upload clips of Joe Rogan's podcast, and at the end of each video there would be irrelevant music for about a whole minute and a prompt to like and follow that person.
  • Review channels that don't mention the name of the movie/show in their title, thumbnail, or description. For example, I'll occasionally stumble upon a review channel that has clickbait-lite shit like the OP scared in the thumbnail with the title "I watched the SCARIEST movie on Netflix!", and in the video title/description they don't name the movie nor do they link it to Netflix so I can watch it myself. Instead, they'll mention the movie's title once or twice in the video's duration, and meanwhile the upload's description just has a link to their sponsor and their social media -- but absolutely nothing about this scary movie in question.
    • A good example of how to PROPERLY title/describe a movie review video is how YMS does it: his videos will literally have a name like "Lion King 2019 Review" with the movie's name clearly laid out in the description and title.
  • When small channels somehow upload improperly edited videos. This one is kinda hard to explain, but I can show a great example right here. There's a guy who uploaded a compilation of Hansen vs. Predator episodes, but he duplicates the same exact footage twice, so after the clips end, the video itself continues playing and starts again from the first clip. It's basically as if he copied and pasted the footage twice in the timeline. In the comments section, people complain about the video showing the same clips twice, and also his audio is fucked up.

I do hate that but I can tolerate it, what I despise is when they ask for it before they even get into the content the video is about. Nigga, let me see the content before you start asking for shit.

How are they getting millions of views? If a thumbnail like that appears in my recommended for whatever reason, that thing goes on hide and flagged as "don't recommend channel" in a heartbeat.

Nine times out of ten, that exact reaction doesn't even appear to be their default reaction to something. It's always a variation of "dull surprise".

This is probably my biggest issue with someone like Spencer Cornelia. His videos are interesting as background noise but I hate his thumbnails. And his proven inability to pronounce Ted DeBiasse's name.
A friend of mine reckoned that he looked like the Wojack memes.

Not so much the video authors themselves, but fans who think a hiatus longer than 8 - 9 days is too much. I would rather watch one 30 minute video that is extremely well-made, factual, and free of padding once a month than I would 5 10 minute videos every 6 or so days.
