What Video caused you to stop watching a Youtuber?

I was watching a video by this guy called Sweguin, and the topic of the video will probably make you irk, but it was another Iceberg video about YouTube, which I don't mind because sometimes the people who make and explain those icebergs manage to dig out very niche topics to then go in details in maybe another video, such as random trivia, and in the case of Youtube, History of the website, generally.
But he seriously can't shut the fuck up about his left-leaning standings, can't he? The two entries, Anthony Fantano Alt-Right drama and JonTron's Alt-right drama were seriously annoying to listen to. Just read how things went down, don't fucking comment about it. You're supposed to just explain, not convince me that I should vote blue. He's also taking literal years to read explain this, and most of the information on the earlier tiers was completely wrong. Although I did have yet another confirmation that he is an unreliable maggot when during the entry "Leave Brittany alone" he kept referring to the gay man on the video aforementioned video, as a female.

He also sympathized with Kadence pinder, the tranny who abused kids in his daycare and was arrested for child pornography, for deleting his pre-trans videos because of possible harassment. Just cause he's tranny, he did that.
 
Not something egregious but Tantacrul has uploaded another "we need to discuss this" sort of video although much milder.

I thought the sanctioned suicide video was a poor and misguided attempt at bringing awareness to something he believed in (or something he could grift depending on how you look at it) without consideration for nuance but I also thought it was a one-off thing.

Idk, this is just a preference but I subbed for music shit. Not social awareness/critique etc. pieces.

Edit: Hmmmmm, yeah it's still more of the same moral grandstanding. He kinda lost me when he was beginning to hope for moderation and censorship and legislators to push more bills that would "protect the children", then droning on about privacy - which ignores that some legislations will do the exact same thing.

"Instagram has gore content. It's bad for muh mentals. Meta needs to moderate harmful content!"
I mean, I'm not a regular at the gore thread here either but I mean....if they won't find it on Instagram, what makes you think they won't find it anywhere else? It's not like gore on the internet is hard to find. You don't even need TOR for that.

Secondly, why didn't he bring up kids having unmonitored access to the internet? Zuck not wanting to moderate "false information" is a bad thing? I mean, sure but why is that on Zuckerberg when people could just as easily double-check information or cross-reference from other sources?

I thought we all knew you're not supposed to take random-ass articles on Facebook as facts.

And while it is shitty, that people got murdered over Facebook posts, people were also retarded. That's not an issue only in poorer countries; people buy retarded shit they read on the net without a second thought because critical thinking skills are overrated. Add emotions, biases, peer pressure and more fancy psychology terms, and you got a powder-keg ready to blow.

Also, dude got basic information wrong.
"George Floyd was shot". Lulwut?

Yeah I think that's about it for me when it comes to him. I can't take him seriously. Oh and he shilled that Sanctioned Suicide video.

It takes a certain amount of ego, cluelessness or both to make an over three hour long video essay recapitulating what countless others have said for years in much shorter and more informative pieces. Here's to hoping this crashes his watch time stats.

It's bloated by his powerlevel where he rambles on about his own history with Facebook as if anyone actually cares.

Secondly, he fucking considers BuzzFeed a reliable news source. Lol okay. This video is rather manipulative. Dude is thirsting for legislation and moderation.

It's currently sitting at ~66k views in 17 hours, it'd be lucky to breach 100k in a day. Being that it's a topic that's already been talked about to death, its not like it's likely to suddenly get a bunch of attention from being shared elsewhere. His channel is likely nearly dead in the water already, it's been nearly a fucking year since his last upload.

It's crazy just how much longer this video is in comparison.
 
I'm cheating a bit here but when I find out a content creator is Canadian, I unsub instantly. It hasn't been easy seeing as some entertaining Youtubers have come down with a terminal case of being a leaf but I know it's only a matter of time before they become completely pozzed.

It's happened every single time for me. I'd love to be proven wrong but I simply can't trust any Canadians to not beutter faggots.
 
I used to love Dan Bell until he went from just a fat slovenly literal faggot that put out quality urb-ex videos to just a lazy grifting fat slovenly literal faggot that just streams his drives around Baltimore on Saturday nights showing the same nigger neighborhoods over and over.
 
Kind of cheating here since it's like his last two or three videos but;

Saturated Content.
I was already on the verge of unsubbing because I came to find his rambling and unfocused point-making rather tiresome. His voice is rather spergy too but that's not necessarily his fault. What is his fault is that his videos just seem like weird rants where he talks out of his ass.

I don't know if Kiwi Tapes and SmokeyMC use scripts but if they don't, I find that impressive. I prefer their videos more often because they don't sound as retarded.

Anyway, what pushed me over the edge was Saturated now having merch. And that's what it is; gotta make dough for your work, talking about lolcows and shit but he shills at the beginning of every video and it's kinda eye-rolling the way he does it.
 
I used to watch nerdcubed over ten years ago. I don't remember the video but he made a joke where the punch line was just the phrase "white privilege." He has since gone downhill in a really bad way and only streams because it's his job at this point and he clearly hates it so I made the right decision and quit watching him when he " peaked"

He was one of the first YouTubers I saw go full politard sperg out of nowhere, and it was long before that was the "in" thing to do. I knew it was fucked when he wouldn't stop bitching about British politics in his videos, and as a non brit bong it was just nonsensical yapping about shit I didn't know nor care about. Last I checked he was still an insufferable cunt, which is a shame since he was one of my favorite LPers in the early 2010s.

I sort of like his current content but no doubt it's definitely lazier, mostly him driving around and only getting out of the truck to go into some backalley porn theater to run a black light over the cum encrusted furniture therein. He did do a pretty cool one about Atlantic City not too long ago. Dan was being particularly obnoxious during his feud with Rick Serra but in all honesty, Rick seemed like a hard guy to get along with at times so I can see why Dan might be irritated with him. Rick also tended to act like he was some great talent or something and that he deserved a much bigger cut of the loot when really all he was doing was getting drunk, eating soap and making an ass out of himself in a shitty motel room. Does seem like Dan's trying to put more effort in as of late to me anyway though.

Yeah I've written multiple posts on NerdCubed in this thread, I first began noticing it in 2015 but I was willing to ride it out, assuming it would be a phase or at least wouldn't get worse. Well, it got much worse, and from what I heard he started dating some "non-binary" woman and thus probably osmosis'd her politics as weak men often do. When he went from gaming channel to making unironic rant videos about fucking Brexit and American elections [why the fuck do Britbongs even care it doesn't affect them at all?] I was pretty much done. The jannies of his subreddit are unsurprisingly much like him because from what I understand they locked it down because too many people were saying his current content was boring and they were tired of the four times a year "channel revamp/redesign/reboot" and didn't come to his channel for politics. For me personally NerdCubed/Dan Hardcastle was the first case of Trump Derangement Syndrome I witnessed, I wasn't even a big fan of Trump myself in those days but with NerdCubed even I was like "alright come the fuck on with this literally Hitler shit dude, come off it" and he just never did. A whole lot of other formerly great channels followed in his footsteps and made their content nothing but political bullshit which nobody wanted.
 
Following on from the last post I think Yahtzee's latest Zero Pu... I mean Full Ramblimatic review might have been this for me. It was full of Orange Man Bad jokes which I think he thought were subtle but were about as subtle as a donkey punch. For someone who fancies himself an intellectual, Yahtzee sure does parrot a lot of the MSM's talking points...

I kinda wish Yahtzee would retire, or at least retire the Zero Punctuation format. His new stuff just doesn't have the same punch as it used to, and the minute he stepped foot on American soil it infected his brain with the virus that is American political discourse. I can't tell if he's just running out of clever ways to say "AAA studio bad" or he just doesn't have it in him anymore to be as blunt as he used to be, he seems to put on the kid gloves for a lot of Indie titles too. I'm almost inclined to think he doesn't want to burn bridges out of self preservation because might rub shoulders with some of the devs living in LA, and he can't hide behind a longstanding gaming website anymore now that he owns the company he works for. I think he should get out before he hits the Jim Sterling wall of being in games journalism for so long, you start having contempt for games and gamers as a whole. It would be smart to build up the Second Wind brand on people that aren't Yahtzee so it can stand on it's own when he inevitably gets tired of carrying the entire organization.

Had to stop watching vids from "Nate The Lawyer", because he interrupts his content on a damn near consistent basis with that bullshit Google "Incognito" lawsuit (that'll likely go nowhere). Content creators, I'm begging you to save the shit you're shilling for at the end of the video and not in the middle of it. No one fucking cares.
