Youtubers teetering on the edge of cowdom - Who is next to fall from grace, and why?

He just felt so insecure for liking the movie when IHE and YMS didn't care for it when they discussed on Sardonicast that he changed his opinion on it as a result. Ralph fucked up with that review so much so that he deleted it from his channel. It really does seem like Sardonicast negatively impacted all three of the hosts: IHE hasn't put a video since December of last year, Ralph has gone downhill in quality, and YMS is trying to monetize anything he does like editing and eating while having his mental state going downhill.
I suppose in IHE's case, it's easier to make a podcast (JARmedia) than the content his subs are there for. And something something his anxiety.

And I guess the same goes for YMS because those Adum and Friends or whatever are not edited by him, I think. I do recall he also mentioned that he fucked up his wrist from overwork so take that for what you will.

But also eating on stream is gross.
 
I think the beginning of the end for Ralph was his Joker review. Just nowhere near the level of quality his previous reviews were at. Really made him look like a smug cunt who can't be entertained by a movie unless it's paving the way for all future films after it
Ralph's incredibly unfunny. His style of humor is literally just playing a clip of awkward dialogue and then saying the awkward dialogue back in a mocking tone.

Bottom of the barrel trash.
 
I have no idea where to talk about this so why not here? Ralph Sepe issued a copyright takedown on a video that criticized him. It's always funny to see people whose jobs revolve around criticizing people's works that can't handle any criticism when it's dished their way. Ralph really is turning into a lolcow.
Luckily I got a copy of the video.

At this point any e celeb with the first or last names of Ethan and/or Ralph are predestined to become lolcows

Ralph is just different in general, much like many of these YouTube movie reviewers who just keep going and going, like from YMS to EFAP they all just do whatever to make cash. Half the time he looks so disinterested in movies, I haven't watched Sardonicast and I'm not going too, but I'm not shocked if they are just circle jerking how bad x, y, and z are while also praising some pretentious movie.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any good movie reviewer on YouTube.
 
I'm not sure this qualifies, since the channel is dead and I don't think the person behind it has been identified. However, I'm 100% certain this fucker has little girls chained in his basement.

That's what gets me so bad. He wasn't always unfunny. Any of his early videos before he started working on Loser, still hold up today. His Love on a Leash video is still a banger. I feel if he and IHE teamed up to reboot IHE's Search for the Worst, they could have something pretty gnarly going for em. I feel like Ralph wants to be a mini-YMS so bad that he's just become a "this isn't true cinema because of [insert nitpick or nothing burger here]. Does going to film school just make people stop enjoying movies? A movie looking good doth not maketh a movie

He just felt so insecure for liking the movie when IHE and YMS didn't care for it when they discussed on Sardonicast that he changed his opinion on it as a result.
That's the crux of the issue it seems. Ralph wants so much to be like YMS it hurts. The problem is, YMS doesn't even finish the movies he reviews, which if you're going to review movies, is really fucking dumb. YMS shouldn't talk with such confidence about his issues with a movie if he hasn't even finished the damn thing. That mixed with how all of YMS complaints tend to be super niche and not honestly relevant to one's enjoyment of the movie nowadays, it's a real shame to see Ralph following that lead. You can even hear it in Sardonicast now where he even talks like YMS now. It's so easy to find little issues in a movie that may or may not be there but if you actually enjoy the thing then don't let some pretentious faggots make you not enjoy things. The absoluteness with which IHE and YMS sometimes dunk on movies really bothers me. Like, I get it, you did not enjoy the movie but can you at least try to see why some people enjoy it instead of just making blanket statements like "ok yeah, I don't know how anybody can enjoy this, it's absolute shit". Can not one of you fucktards play devil's advocate for just shits and giggles even though you may not personally enjoy it? This pretentious criticism shit is ruining film and media discourse imo.

Sorry for the rant but it's just sad and frustrating to see Ralph and the podcast get swept up in all this nonsense

He's been mentioned before, but thorhighheels is definitely a contender. A lot of the circle he associates himself with are breadtube adjacent or involved and he has openly stated that he's a fan of Big Joel before.

Without PLing too much, I was aware of him and his content before as my day job crosses over with some of the things he covers.

It's worth noting that he's niche in the sense that he looks at media archival when it comes to video games and fan translation, as well as game design, and his content isn't awful in that regard, but he flies off the handle if he sees something he doesn't like without taking the time to ask any questions or hold a conversation about the subject. I'm friendly with someone who had a run in with him quite recently who was banned from his patron only discord for having a steam pfp that he considered nazi imagery, and for hiding who they subbed to on patreon. He apparently has a real hateboner for Ssethtzeenzach which is why he threw a temper tantrum when he saw that my buddy hid their pledges, and banned anything that had to do with discussion of CWC.

I'm not sure if he's thread worthy, but he could possibly be covered in the Breadtube thread if he pulls anything milky I suppose. Plenty of potential imo anyway.
I actually like thor's content (as background noise) so thats a bit worrying

Wonder what his beef with Ssethtzeenzach is. Is it because he's black and funnier without needing to AVGN curse every few minutes?
 
I feel like Technology Connections is going to troon out pretty soon. He is growing out his hair and starting to become more theatrical, but not in a faggy way. I think it will be interesting to watch, I also think he's been getting some laser skin treatments.
I'll still watch him even when he's a confirmed lolcow.

He reminds me of Jim Sterling with his mannerisms. It wouldn't be surprising if he went off the deep end given his format. Hopefully his autism will keep him away from adding too much politics into his videos.
 
Technology Connections
the only thing I don't like about the guy is his fixation in is convictions. Take his dishwasher's videos for example, people pointed that you can consume less water or be quicker by washing them by hands, and instead of acknowledging that people may do things differently (as he himself stated in his video about him preferring a laptop over tower PCs), he double down like an autist.
I think (and hope) he wouldn't troon out, but I'm sure he's pretty deep in the spectrum.

Beside that, I think is one of the few decent channels left.

Dear lord I hope he just leaves it at the occasional weird take and doesn't troon. His video about hurricane lanterns lead me down a rabbit hole I never knew I wanted to go down and I've liked his stuff ever since.

I don't care if I disagree with someone's personal views as long as I don't have to put up with it in their content. I want to hear about smoke detectors in autistic detail, not about why people who like politician should die because think of the children. I have my social-political stuff I listen to, I like channels that give me a break from it too.

That said, another guy who has me worried is Giant Grant Games. Pretty sure he's west coast USA (I think he mentioned Portland once?) so he's in a hot spot for weirdness. He started doing more of his content purely for YouTube instead of just stream archival (Though still strangely uploads it all to his archive channel) as Twitch is a shithole and the back-seating and other crap finally got to him, but he still has dropped the occasional "Please no bully or be toxic" videos that are fairly cringe. Thankfully he keeps them rare and only at 2-3 minutes instead of an endless rant but between that and constant complaints of health issues I definitely say he's a risk. I avoid any social media he has like the plague and that has let me enjoy his stuff as it's simply just "Funny StarCraft mods and challenges" and not "oh and also my pronouns are "lisk/lisk-self" but I know it's probably just a matter of time before something happens.
 
I avoid any social media
If only we could demonize all social media, the world would be better off without oversharing what you ate for breakfast and how much you hate something. I'd take forums (or even imageboards) every day over any social media, regardless of the devs' political leaning.

oh, another decent channel I wanted to mention is Project Farm, he does product comparison (allegedly) by purchasing them all by his own wallet.

Channels like martincitopants or max0r are, in my opinion, fucking atrocious. I don't know if any will agree with me, but loud doesn't exactly equals fun, especially if it's for nearly the whole video.
Sure, he did a Just Cause 2 streaming where he tried to 100%'d it, which is almost impossible because the devs misplaced some items and iirc unless you use a mod, you can't go higher than 96.6% (which is why steam's "completionist" achievement is unlocked when you're around 80% completion).
Also his copycats. There was this guy who made a decent video about a game I was interested in,

and then went onto making LoudFunny™ videos.

I don't know how this genre is called, but I hate it.

I'm also concerned with how Tom Scott is turning out. More and more of his video feel like the usual globalist propaganda and shit, but I may be wrong.

Isn't that the end game for most online content creators? Start a podcast or let's play. Kills everything else. Jontron was right to quit game grumps. Happened to H3H3, Egoraptor, Oney (to a lesser extent). Hire people to do the heavy lifting (editing, social media, run the channel / upload the podcast), spew out some bullshit for a few hours a week. Profit.

I like his content as well, mainly because I have an obsession with obscure and weird games. I know he definitely has left leaning views which is whatever but the spergery and association with Breadtube is a bit eye opening. Luckily in case of the worst happening, there is Avalanche Reviews to fall back on, who makes better content than Thor imo. Avalanche most likely would not think highly of the Breadtube crowd because he hates Jim Sterling, and also follows IBS drama apparently

Agreed, I don't watch max0r but martincitopants is someone I've been following for a year, and while I like his videos in general, and how he can do some really good informative stuff like in his KSP videos, his weird need to do "LE LOUD SOUND XD" every minute is beyond retarded, his original Factorio video even gave me a bad headache. His fanbase also seems somewhat autistic considering how much they loved the "BOAT" meme.

I genuinely don't care about vidya games despite some how growing up or acquiring those "golden" consoles (ps2, game cube ect) and having cased games i really should be selling 🤣

But i enjoy decent longform videos and content so ill check that guy out if he's similar enough. Generally i value presentation and content so im open for more suggestions.

(I did buy metal gear revenge due to Maxors review so my heart isn't all stone)



Edit
I dont think Max0r really falls into loud=funny. More like, overedited MLG content and really good/decent impressions, and decent jokes.

that's even worse. I don't really have a problem with the guy, but his copycats have been flooding the platform for a while.

and decent jokes.
his MGR video was a shitshow, he kept repeating "le Drumph" joke over and over. It felt like a lefty pol video. Also there ARE loudfunny parts in his videos, what are you smoking?

Still, it wasn't as bad as some video about Raiden fighting Trump, made by George Salonikh, who's a complete left wing sperg. Check out his chat during his livestreams, or that afore mentioned MGR video. But I guess that's what you get when you center your entire career into playing only Metal Gear. I have to mention, his chat does believe he plays the game live, despite the obvious edits in some of those videos. I don't think that streaming a video itself is bad, but I don't see why you should ban someone for pointing that out, as I saw happen in his channels a while ago (around 2016).

To be fair n honest, id reccomend his ace combat videos over the MGR review thats become popular. Maybe i have decent brain blindness to politics because we're bombarded with it every day. Same to loud n funni. I only remember the music used and VA work.

That's 90% of content these days. Especially the Viners. Dumb face expression, quick edit, maybe a couple of words. No jokes. Only edits.

Yea anyone who talks about not needing violence in games is retarded. Big Joel is a pedo-defense force , with how he constantly leaves twitter every pride month because he defends showing kids kinks every year like clockwork
The Ex-model turned aus political satirist YouTuber FriendlyJordies. Started off in 2013 doing theatrefag skits, over time churned out some decent vids on aus culture. Gradually became more political for the left of centre Labor party, attempting to legitimise his YouTube channel as Alt News, raging against Rupert Murdoch owned media outlets while desperately wanting to be even more bias and propaganda peddling, just for his own side.

Even got an endorsement from the Liberalist Lord himself.

View attachment 3345293

What makes him a cow, in my eyes, is his insatiable ego, delusions of grandeur such as tweeting his fear of assassination and that the universe communicated through a fox to him that he would change the world, his shameless shilling for the aus Labor party, and his shitty comedy that is hopelessly dependant on the Simpsons. Seriously, his most recent grift shirt is him as Mr Sparkles. He truly disgusts me.

Edit: wrong words.
I love FJ so i can never call him a true lolcow, but he does have his weird quirks like his love of sef help. Im also just not interested in his sort of moralizing content. I like when he owns the cons and owns the libs. I liked his new video on wokies. However, this sort of constant vids on the liberals while i do think he has genuine passion for it its just exhausting to me. I preferred his content in like 2019 where it was a good balance of skits, dumb shitty vids like yilmaz and basically reaction videos. Even crap vids but with him cracking jokes are better than just talking about the liberals all day (the conservative party of aus, not the actually libs)
