YouTubers you hate that everyone else likes

[Decoy St. Chum]

I don't how one can find fruit that hangs lower than the stuff Nerdrotic picks, but Gundam somehow does it. The absolute bare-bones "yeah no shit" takes anyone can have. The only thing I like about him are his video assets. They look good for the most part. Even when I want to listen to some skeptics yap for background noise, I never go for Gundam anymore.
Whenever there isn't anything big like Rekieta happening he's basically just finding women on tiktok and going "look at this dumb bitch. Woman bad ammirite. Star Wars". Just a sad, petty, actual manbaby person who needs to feel validated instead of actually doing anything productive or making actual points.

Funny, I have the exact opposite opinion - his vids are good to just get the jist for those who don't know but his censor sound and the drag queen edit-ins are annoying as hell.

I watched a few videos by Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader and the guy just bores the shit out of me. He rambles on for hours on end about whatever the topic of the video is and continually rehashes the same points he made 10 seconds ago. They seem more like autistic rant sessions than anything truly informative or constructive. For example he has a video about how the home releases of the Terminator movies got worse over time and it was nothing more than him playing show and tell for close to 2 hours instead of, say, a concise 10 to 15 minute video showing us screenshots or clips to demonstrate why the newer ones suck.

On the other hand, he also had a video about the botched remaster of those Superman cartoons from the 40s but that was also close to 2 hours and he went the other extreme of having it mostly be a picture show with screenshots of the botched transfer rather than comparing it side by side with the older versions. Dramatically cutting down the length, getting to the point, and better presentation of information would greatly help the quality of his videos. I'll commend him for at least speaking out against the AI upscaling that those James Cameron remasters used and against botched transfers in general, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to some guy talk about how much plastic he hoarded for several hours.

Honestly every YouTuber my buddy introduced me to back in the day turned me off watching "YouTubers" as a concept. Every time I hung out with him, he'd throw on and make me watch trash like Game/Film Theory, Channel Awesome and adjacent shit like Spoony and Todd in the Shadows, Kill Count and fucking Buzzfeed videos about eating at expensive restaurants because he fancied himself a food critic after buying a meal box like HelloFresh online. The only one I could stand was old Spoony and to some extent Kill Count.

I'd just sit there browsing my phone and he'd be like "what did you think of it?" Of course, at the time I was delicate, but actually thinking that his taste was fucking fruity and that if he wanted the media he liked regurgitated to him like a baby bird, he could just go read TV Tropes and not have to listen to some annoying asshole like MatPat sperg about giving Undertale to the pope.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, a video-essayist. They're not even videos. Technically they are, but their main content is some guy reading aloud his written text as if he were on Audible. All the footage is comprised of unrelated media. His takes are generic shit-lib stuff, anyway. When he talked about FEAR 2 he completely glossed over the fact that Alma raped the main character and said she was the victim.

It's not like he's the worst, though. Sometimes there are essays with heavy video editing, making spastic cuts and lean heavily on audio stimulation, using specific sfx to instill pleasure into you for hearing them, i.e. cassette tapes entering a VHS. It's so forced and it's arguably worse than Noah just reading.

He also threw a hissyfit when his patreons weren't able to stand his shit audio. Like, dude. He coughs in the final audios, screams like a retard without normalizing the fucking thing. Audacity is free ffs.

Unfunny. Plus pretentious retard who jerks off any game with good graphics and ugly dykes.

Wrong, it was proven that wasn't him. I thought it was him, though.

I've found I just can't watch 99% of youtubers that use a little 2D character to represent themselves, and have it go through a few predrawn frames while they talk. Some of them do it in a way that isn't too distracting, but usually it's some uncanny valley cartoon representation of themselves, or otherwise just some bizarre character that I'm sure they think is really cool, but that I'd rather not have to look at.

Just give me the faceless voice over whatever footage you want to show me -- if you're a youtuber, I probably don't want any insight into how you look or perceive yourself.

 

[Wot Zit Too Yah0996]

Did I honestly put "hasn't", when I meant to put "haven't", regarding my nan, on my Apr 7 post? What a knobhead...

@SomeSpook I looked up Iron Lung, and one of the cast members is MrBeast *GROAN!*, but, for a change, I'll give it a go, and rein in my habit of avoiding TV series, or certain episodes of TV series, and films that have people I can't stand in it. Like when I avoided the Doctor Whos with James Corden in 'em. He was, though, tolerable and actually decently funny in The Wrong Mans, which has Mathew Baynton from Horrible Histories in it.

@Mr. Idiot Oh, for fuck's sake... This is the first I've technically watched of this guy, and I'm annoyed. I'm not keen on Tim Burton, either, but he's fucking reaching. Yeah, yeah. Those of you (presumably here) remember this exchange from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I'm sure:

• Willy Wonka : You can't run a chocolate factory with a family hanging over you like an old, dead goose (COON). No offense.
  Grandpa George : None taken. Jerk (NIGGER).

Willy Wonka : You can't run a chocolate factory with a family hanging over you like an old, dead goose (CHICKEN). No offense.
Grandpa George : None taken. Jerk (NIGGER--- I would substitute the N word for wog, because I think it would fit better with Grandpa George, but I used the N word for two reasons: 1.) Mr Burton Hater is unlikely to know (assumed viewpoint of mine) what wog means in any way, and he's very, very, very, very, very likely to be one of those flock-herd-brained childish irrational mongs, who only gives a fuck about racism, when it's about someone of obvious African-ish descent).

REPEATED BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF EDITING TIME AND COULDN'T BE ARSED TO DELETE, CLIP, EDIT, ETCETERA, CERTAIN THINGS. ALSO EDITED, REALLY BECAUSE I WENT BACK AND DECIDED CHICKEN IS FUNNIER THAN COON.

@Shek$il and @bird.up Cheers for the Autism thing, fellas, if you can't laugh at yourself... and I saw the notification about my comments being merged, which was only inevitable, and meant to edit them, so they would be, but I ran out of editing time, and er... what can you do.

[FSA - 444]

Any of these "gamedev" related channels that spam out shit like "I remade [X ridiculously large AAA game] in [X engine] or with [X feature]". Other than the blatant lie of remaking an entire game like COD MW2 or skyrim by themselves, what would even be the point of shoving these games unoptimized into random mainstream engines like Unity if they weren't made on them? These channels just prey on people who have no knowledge of how much time it actually takes for even giant teams to put this kind of stuff together. These people just end up reusing their assets anyway on a much smaller scale.

I think these channels end up being harmful than good. I sense they are trying to inspire people to become gamedevs, because it's obvious most people watch these videos to jack off to the idea of becoming a great game dev, and thus why they get so much views. (I myself am guilty of this. I focus a lot more on story than making the game.)

Like @Toolbox said, most people don't have any knowledge when it comes to making games, but like to imagine they do. So they sit on their ass, doing nothing, but believing they can because the youtuber man told them. Anyone falls to this terrible gamedev slop.

The advice I think people should see more? Start on something small, make a doom wad or garry's mod addon. Don't even think of using godot or unity yet, because you have no idea how long something takes to make. Don't focus so much on concept as much the creation of your project. The faster you get something done, the better you learn from your mistakes.

Guess what advice I'm planning to follow? The big and slow one? Or the simple and fast one?

Ludwig, his mentality that "I'm not your friend" towards his viewers is why because instead of avoiding parasocial relationships it just seems like he treats his audience of teenagers like garbage while deepthroating any content creator more popular than him. I always seem to see clips of him saying "Hassan is right, livestreaming is the hardest job", "Buy Pokimane's cookies or else you're an incel" "Promoting my girlfriend's diet OnlyFans to 13 year olds is based" or "Jake from MrBeast should have been able to win sleep as a prize".

 

[Wild at Heart]

Any "X reacts to Y" video I see. This format is super popular to this day. Bonus points if it's some sort of "expert" reacting to a movie or TV show. "Lawyer reacts to Better Call Saul!!!" I despise these videos, who gives a shit what some unrelated lawyer thinks of a TV program (that no doubt used lawyers as consultants to make the show accurate anyways.) And hear this "expert" say bottom of the barrel commentary like "yeah! that's really accurate!" I see these vids get millions of views.

Ludwig has this weird coldness to him that I can't describe. Maybe it's canned charisma? His smile is hiding something. I watched and enjoyed his crossover with Jerma where they played Battleship, but Ludwig just seems phony to me. He's good at networking so I wouldn't be surprised if he was a rich kid that used to rub elbows with influential people before streaming. Anyone know?

The feeling I get from him is not dissimilar to what I got from MrBeast when he started getting popular.

Unsurprisingly, his latest video is him talking about MrBeast, but actually talking about himself.

I've always found him offputting.

 

[Cave Fisher]

I really hate the YouTube trend where you title a video "I did x for thirty days" or "I played y for the FIRST TIME". Back in my day (shakes fist at clouds) you would just call something a blind let's play, or a social experiment, or a prank. If you have to insert the word "I" into your YouTube video title, maybe you need to take a step back and ask if you're being self-centered.

I've noticed this too, and I really, really wish I didn't because of how widespread its gotten, people have been hyping up their video titles in all caps for YEARS, but there just don't seem to be that many "Let's play [game] part 5" type videos anymore, now you have people going "I played EVERY level of this game BLIND!" and you're like, yeah, that's how you're fucking supposed to play the game.

Modern Stuttering Craig is a fence sitting asshole, and yes, in complete agreement Sidescrollers does, in fact, suck.

I'm really, really glad to be justified in my hatred of Mr. Beast and his ilk. They've been rubbing me the wrong way for quite a while, and to know my gut instinct was right now knowing about the tranny pedo shit.
