Angry Joe / Joe Vargas / Jose Antonio Vargas / AngryJoeShow - Streamer, formerly made ANGRY REVIEWS, hates his fans

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
This is Angry Joe's review of Valerian and City of a Thousand Planets.

I see he is gaining weight, has a greenscreen on the back of his wall, has a suitjacket with a t-shirt, and has a scruffy short beard. I wonder who this is starting to look like......

Glad I'm not the only one who sees Joe as a younger, non-balding MovieBob these days.
 
Why is it that none of these fuckers can key out a green screen properly? Even with shit lighting its one more button to click and maybe... maybe another slider.

I'm also fairly sure that he only mic'd himself and not the other two people in the shot.
 
Sheesh, that's quite a wait, though it's probably good since it means he gets to talk about recent developments. How many has he got left after Joe?

He wants to do one on JesuOtaku (Jacob Hope Chapman) and I think maybe Todd in the Shadows (don't quote me on that). Then one big final video covering ALLLLLLLLLL of the drama in between.
 
Predictably, disabling comments and ratings (because somehow that 'distracts' from the video) has just led to Angry Joe's twitter being a series of people calling him a coward. He's bouncing between justification and trolling on twitter:

And the comment sections consist almost entirely of white knights and trolls waging a battle of autism now.

Edit: this is a copypaste he supposedly commented before disabling them on one of his 'trailer reviews'. Sorry, no image.

"Tired of these fucked up comments ruining discussion here on YouTube. I tried to enable them again here because I hate this whole idea. But fuck. I'm disabling them from here on out, and here is why.. reference this comment when an innocent bystander asks why...

All I wanted was a place for discussion about the things I love and am passionate about but all you assholes who call me names and attempt to destroy my other videos want is Angry Game Reviews and Angry Game Reviews only. Where the fuck did you come from? Where were you years ago? People call my fan base "toxic" and I've never wanted to agree. NO! You're wrong! My fans aren't toxic. These aren't my "fans" god damnit.

Yes there is a small segment of toxic ass gamers who enjoy my game reviews and will now attempt to destroy this channel to get more. That's just the way it is, especially on the internet. All they do is blow through 120 Game Reviews then turn around and call me lazy the very next week you don't see one. Regardless of the other 1,135 videos I've edited and uploaded. I've been doing this for 9 years and I wanted one fucking break from them for a bit, one fucking vacation from them where I can put out other content in the meantime while I'm on break and I can't even get that from you.

That's how much you appreciated all the work I've put into this channel for you over all these years - I've never asked for your money, I've never even put up a patreon, ive never locked ANYTHING in my life behind a paywall, but do I get credit for that? NO! I'm instead somehow a money grubbing asshole even though this channel actually makes a fraction of what other MINECRAFT LPers at my same level make. If that's all I cared about I'd become one of those instead (no disrespect I've met good ppl who are, who shared their numbers with me and it's fucking insane, I almost quit on the spot) I've been doing this for as little cost to you as possible for as long as possible and this is how I'm treated when I put out other content on break.

Do you not understand there's no game I want to review right now? Do you not understand I can't be forced to crank out bullshit!? I've heard your feedback. You want Game Reviews and fuck everything else. Well guess what? That will NEVER HAPPEN. I started this channel on a Variety and it will continue to be because it keeps me SANE and PREVENT BURN OUT which you guys are accelerating like hell with your fucking bullshit. And I'm fucking tired of it. I'm disabling comments because all that happens is entitled little shits getting into argue nets with people here who just want to enjoy discussion about common interests. calling me names, and practically destroying my ability to even think about the next game review.

You are destroying my channel and my happiness. Negativity breeds more negativity trust me, I've seen this shit evolve in real time. No creative person can be forced to do something without change or break for 9 years. Why do you guys demand so much more from me when other youtubers of similar style/format are allowed to post one or two Reviews a month, or take 6 month disappearances. Yet if I don't have a fucking Review for a game every time one comes out then the Sky is falling and I'm a piece of shit fat fuck. Fuck this shit. I can't take this fucking shit anymore. I can't even think about a review right now I'm so fucking pissed! Do you know the majority of people who watch these don't even fucking comment? What about what they want?

What out the person next to you that enjoys hearing my opinion on these trailers IN ADDITION TO MY REVIEWS. I haven't put out a review in one month and you guys want to KILL ME! Why can't I just have a break every few years during some down time. You so quickly forget all the other videos I've put out and worked on by myself, so that makes me lazy now. Fuck you asshole. If I had a button to ban you from ever seeing another review of mine I'd press it. I'm just a fucking video machine to you and fuck my health and well being. If I don't put out full blown angry review productions at the same rate and frequency of every other let's play channel on YouTube that's 100% impossible then fuck me to hell. Well fuck off you whiny little bitches.

We don't need you. Unsubscribe if that's all you give a shit about, I seriously don't want your viewership. You clearly were never a "fan" in this first place if you can't treat me with any amount of respect and understanding. Im NOT talking to the VAST majority of you who don't even comment, you watch, enjoy and move on. This is for the small segment that does comment and attacks my other fans for no reason other than to be an ass and troll. You fuckers have finally done it, you trolls win. I see the analytics of what sites you come from and your organized forum posts and efforts to destroy my image and my other fans enjoyment of other content besides Reviews and I'm putting a stop to it.

Just like TB did years ago, and I never thought I'd have to do, I'm disabling this fucking cesspool of hate. Youtube needs far better moderation tools and to get their shit together before I consider turning them back on ever."

The thing that shits up everything about Joe's reviews is that they weren't exactly some high-grade, large-budgeted deals. It was mostly some small skits and him talking most of the time. With how he portrayed himself, it never seemed like Joe ever really had a script, maybe just a reference sheet he had on hand. Sure he has to play games for footage and stuff, but people do that every day and make reoccurring uploads as well.

Joe also limited himself by being incredibly abrasive towards a bunch of shit. He pissed and moaned about Nintendo, so that removed an option for reviewing off the table for the longest time, he won't touch anything that isn't Triple-A and if it isn't, it's a massive hit already, and I don't remember if he ever reviewed or made videos about games in beta with potential or the like.

It's no wonder he pretends like he's burnt out, he's got nothing to touch half the time because he chooses to.

He really isn't disguising shit really well. He knows he can get views by sitting at a table and talking about new stuff and that it'll get clicks. It's cheap low-effort content that still makes him money. But man, that shit is bad. His reviews weren't great in my opinion, but his rants and reviews are just fluff.

I know that reviewing comic books is probably significantly easier than reviewing games on paper, but I still have to give props to Linkara. Cringe as he and his content is, Lewis puts out video after video week after week of shit his audience wants with full scripts for not just the review, but the lame-ass show he makes as well. When you compare the two, there really isn't a reason for Joe to get sick of doing his reviews outside of laziness, and that's probably why he's fucking whining the way he is on social media. He knows there's no excuse.
 
I really do think that, out of all the TGWTG crew, Lewis is the best suited to his role. He's a sperg who gets paid to sperg about things he's passionate about every week.

He's living the dream.

Joe, Spoony, Doug... they keep doubling down on shit that no one actually wants. Doug with his skits that don't need to be there, Joe and Spoony in becoming increasingly stubborn about uploading real content that people actually want to see.

I know people mock Linkara for being a nasty cock slut, but at LEAST as a creator he listens to his audience and generally provides what they want to see, content wise.

Yeah but what those people want to see is terrible.

Could someone summarise what this video says? I can't stand listening to this dude and I'm not sure if it has anything relevant or is just him whining.
 
Absolutely not. There is no law against private individuals giving products good reviews in exchange for kickbacks.

With that said, it's definitely considered a major ethical issue for serious reviewers.
Didnt the FCC get on a few celebrities who did that on instagram though?

Link?

I can tell you from professional experience that even having an explicit arrangement to publish good reviews in exchange for undisclosed outright bribes isn't in any way illegal (just unethical), but I can't comment on some particular case where I don't know exactly what the circumstances or point(s) of contention were. I'm positive it wouldn't simply be "it's illegal to write good reviews for perks without disclosing them," though. Something else would had to have been going on and/or it's certainly possible that a review could be violating some internal policy of the reviewer's organization or a platform they are publishing the review on, but not a law.

EDIT - I stand corrected: there are some rather impotent FTC guidelines governing this in the US and Advertising Standards Agency guidelines in the UK, although it is not a violation of criminal law. There is no fine but they could ask endorsers to return the payment they received, and they rarely even issue warnings.
