What Video caused you to stop watching a Youtuber?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I usually don't mind AJW, I would watch his vids as a decent news roundup for current events with a focus on policing and niggery in the USA, but around the time he started simping for Ana Kasparian I definitely stopped watching as much.

G-manlives. so called "based" FPS boomer.
This guy is such a massive shill
 
SomeOrdinaryGamers after his video on the Rosanna Pansino/Mr. Beast drama. Like yeah, it was a nontroversey but he came off like a massive arsehole. He said he had no idea who she was then went to her channel and after looking at the thumbnail for the first video her saw, a cosplay video, wrote her off as a cosplay thot chasing clout. I have no great love for Ro, like her fine and am still subbed to her despite her content having seriously dropped off in recent years but the whole thing made me realise how far his channel had fallen. He'd gone from making cool dark web virus and Chinese OS deep dives to being a half arsed drama channel. Could not even be bothered to do 2 minutes of Googling before shooting his mouth of.
 
Marcel Vos after the pride flag video. We lost another one boys.
His subsequent videos knocked it off and returned to his normal cozy quality. I really want to believe that rainbow turd was a one-off.

You get a little bit more of his "sociopolitical views" in his livestreams -- kind of a milquetoast "I don't want to offend anybody as the RCT guy from the Netherlands", which I can see that kind of person making a gay flag video as an excuse to paint his rollercoasters a bunch of colors on an otherwise dull level. Really, the only "spicy" thing I noticed about him is that he has a borderline militant "I despise ad-blockers on YouTube" stance (that he never brings up in his main channel videos). At one point he flat-out says something along the lines of if you don't like ads, don't watch:

(Linked at 0:53:52 and his really slow ramble goes on for about 20 minutes)
 
I stopped watching WeedleTwinnedle caused by multiple community posts with furry content. That he is a dirty scrote using female pronouns is okay as he also makes Videos without talking but the forced furry shit killed it. I dont want to appreciate anything from a brain that somehow ordered the weak ass Body to throw out a sad semdrop or two to incineroar r34 art.

I could forgive the "pride flags" (rainbow colored rides) because rainbows are a cool color scheme but once you make a video themed around different pride flags and demonstrate in-depth knowledge of what each one means you've started down the slippery slope.
 
Looks like the Escapist sequel, Second Wind, is going to have Jim Sterling on in a bit. I subbed pretty soon after the channel was created, but I'm hoppin' off here. I'll prob check the video out a bit when it's released, since I feel bad about judging a book by it's cover, but I doubt I'll be able to stomach much of what that guy says.
 
Yeah I'm curious what Emp did too, I quite like his videos, he's good at hooking you on a video about a topic even if it normally doesn't interest you all that much. I think I found his channel from his NASCAR videos but most of his videos are still watch ASAP status for me.
Emp is a legitimate autist and vegan. Watch the old podcast with Mumkey and Rusty he did and you'll see it. Him freaking out about reddit or Taco Bell fucking his vegan order up and lecturing them vegan doesn't mean vegetarian, it's very interesting.

Ah man. Never knew Emp was such a sped. Well at least it doesn't bleed into his videos. Even his old ones like YouTubes Downward Spiral.

Well as long as he can keep the good times coming, all should be well.

Emp is a sped, but he's at least endearingly so. I haven't stopped watching him.

I wouldn't say endearingly considering this part in The History of the Downward Spiral where he seemingly trying to mock people who said giving up getting a regular job to do Youtube for a living was a bad idea then the lockdowns caused people to lose their jobs.
Idk why this thing bugs me so much but it does. It happens with other Youtubers where they say one thing that annoys me so much it sticks with me like Lindsay Ellis calling most of her family uneducated white trash, ReviewTechUSA telling Activision to shove the new Call of Duty game up their ass but he was going to buy the collector's edition anyway to get Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered, and RLM calling the dinner host in Borat a bigot for teaching Borat how to use the toilet after he brought a bag of poop to the dinner table.

There's not really videos per say, but moments. Usually when the youtube upgrades their equipment, the quality of content drops. Kinda stopped watching UrinatingTree cause of that.

Stopped watching Grossi after he yelled at a superchatter for not vaxxing.

I watched one vid of SadBaseball (the one on Freddie Freeman) and realised he doesn't know what he's talking about. He says he got a Master's in Business, but then lectures on how owners are greedy for not paying players (without bringing up the payment to contractors for field upkeep, concessions, merchandise, payment to office employees, etc.). Then he makes a quip later on, on how Freddie acts "white", due to him wanting Acuna to dress professionally, and he shouldn't push that on others (as if any other team, employer, or anyone at all wouldn't want you to dress nicely. Guess he hasn't been around older black men, Asians, anyone who has a decent job).
It's just tiring to hear someone's opinion on something when they're not the focal point of the video/documentary.
 
Same as PikameeTeaKettle said above, I can never pinpoint what specific video made me stop watching a Youtuber, but I can describe why I stopped watching them. Here are some examples.

- GGGmanlives: Honestly I got fucking tired of getting farted in my ear in his videos. Nevermind the fact that he was a shill, which became unashamed and painfully obviously with his appraisal of Starfield.

- Warlockracy: Though I initially liked his content, the esoteric Russian Fallout mods were especially interesting, I got a sense of his person and I didn't like it. I then got fed up with it and stopped watching all together. After watching a bunch of his videos, I intuited that the only reason I found his political comments agreeable was because he was in Eastern Europe, and if he was Western then he'd be an insufferable sod. He's the sort of person that'd be a breadtuber if he was born in the West. I would describe him as a dissident pest at best and a fifth columnist at worst, the kind of character i know too well from being in America during the past 10 years or so. I know I don't like him, but it's hard to satisfactorily appraise why. This is the best I can give at the moment.

- AmbiguousAmphibian: I really enjoyed his content, and found his livestreams to be interesting viewing, particularly on Project Zomboid and Simcity, but I think what I found tiresome was his presentation's attitude. He's defaulted on that illustrious tone of his that though not irritating in the moment did not push me to tab back into his content when I had moved on to other channels.

- Karl Jobst: I barely check up on his channel anymore. This man can make good content when he wants to, by my. fucking. lord. the affair with Billy Mitchell is retarded. I get that Billy Mitchell is a real faggot, but Karl somehow makes himself seem gayer in comparison with those videos and those fucking thumbnails he posts on his channel. Get a fucking grip dude. I understand that being a man may not come naturally to someone married to a Chinese boy, but cut it out! Also lmao at Null getting you to delete that 0:52 record video out of shame.

- Bricky: I got tired of his shit, honestly. The memes, editing and just overall demeanor made me tap out. He can make good content but maybe it's the zoomer "je ne sais quoi" about his style that doesn't make me wanna watch him again.

- SamuraiRevolution: This is an Age of Empires 3 channel that I came across years and years ago when I was getting back into playing the game since the last time I picked it up as a kid. The guy who initially founded it and kept it running for 10 years seems like a great and honest man. He married his sister (not actually but you'll see why I said this in the photo) and then decided to move on with his life and hand off the channel to someone else. I respect him immensely for this. He knew when to cash out. The guy who got the channel seems to be doing a fine job with it. So what's the issue? The game.

SamRev played the original edition of AoE3 which, despite the low poly count, looks gorgeous to this day due to a fine combination of lighting and texture work. It's the same sort of black magic that makes a game like Halo 3 look good to this day. However, AoE3 DE (Definitive Edition) came out a while back and that has largely been the focus of anything AoE3. SamRev himself kept playing the original since he preferred it, but since the channel was given to someone else, that someone else focuses on DE, and it's a FUCKING EYE SORE to watch. It's not as pretty as the original. It's not as readable as the original. The only good thing they did was the UI and that's IT. I read online that the "graphics are sooo improved". Don't piss on my head and tell me its raining! Anyway, that's why I don't watch the channel anymore.

Just a few, here.

-Back in ye aulde days of CoD: BO, I was a huge fan of a youtuber named RagingAmish, who had silly little autistic videos about the guns, perks, and equipment full of movie and music references from the 80's and 90's. Was just a silly little thing, he was even an orbiter of the Yogscast in the early days, but then he just sorta started... idk, he got really depressed and often half-assed his content until he tried to make one or two Clash of Clans videos, and then vanished from the internet.

-I stopped watching We're In Hell despite his very interesting (to me) political takes because he jumped on the 'you can only view my full content on Nebula' train that every vaguely left-leaning content creator is on now.

-I no longer watch Ahoy (formerly XboxAhoy) b/c he filled the hole Raging Amish left for me, and while he now does very interesting history of guns and media type things (at least, that's what I assume they are), it's just not what I remember or was so fond of. It definitely doesn't help that his upload schedule has become GLACIAL. More power to him- do what you want with your channel, it's just not for me!

That's interesting as during a Let's Drown Out (RIP) episode when Gabe asked if he and Sterling were friends Yahtzee said something about it being more of a professional relationship. Really felt like he was trying to distance himself from Sterling.

Don't feel bad for him. He actively chose this life.
Watching Jim ritualistically humiliate him and two other soys was a wonderful sight.
 
I can't remember which video exactly because he ended up doing several of them, but the first video I watched where Life of Boris started bitching about his views falling off. When a creator starts down the path of entitled whining about their channel's viewing metrics, there's no turning back. It was made worse by his loyal viewers throwing hundreds of dollars at him in Super Thanks donations, and he never acknowledged or thanked them for it—he just continued making more woe-is-me videos.

I guess he realized his crying was only hurting his channel and made him realize he still had a lot left to lose, because he's since made one of those "I'm back!" videos, blaming all his prior behavior on mental health issues. Blah, blah, blah . . . he'll eventually fall back on his previous self-pitying behavior, because those types always do. He may already have for all I know, because—per the thread's topic—I've long since stopped watching him.

fireball tools' video linked below:


Everything about it just made me turn away from the guy: the smug attitude, the way he talks down other people's work, the shilling of his own magic snuffbox as a be-all-end-all solution to all possible welding problems that you could ever have, and to top it all off he locked all the comments on all of his videos and made it so that you have to register for his special hugbox forum if you want to comment on what he's put out.

He's a special kind of coward, and I really can't stand him.
 
I stopped watching pyrocinical sometime between the last Iddubz content cop and the keem+pyro French girl drama.

The straw that broke the camels back was the furry roleplay and fat fetish exposure. It gave me alot of perspective on jokes I used to think are funny but are now tainted by dishonesty and degeneracy.

I came off the right time too. I was a toxic edgy kid who watch yt drama to distract myself from real life so when Pyro got dissected by the internet community I came to the conclusion that this guy fucking sucks.

I enjoyed his leafy like content when his degeneracy was on the downlow. He was my unofficial drama news channel.
