In spite of the content changes later on, I was still willing to watch Charlie's content due to a nostalgia bias considering he made some of my favorite content in YouTube's prime. A lot of the reasons why I stopped watching him were already laid out thoroughly in this thread (degradation of humor, clout-chaser mindset, attempting to cater to the edgy and politically correct crowds at the same time, etc.), but the final nail in the coffin for me was his utter lack of life experience. Slowly but surely, I began to realize that pretty much every time he tried to do anything that did not involve social media, he was completely braindead.
Some examples:
In May of 2021, he posted an hour-long video where he was repairing a toilet with his friend. All he had to do was connect the chain to the handle, and he just could not figure it out. He struggled basically the entire time, with his full-body hazmat suit swaying around due to being five sizes too big on his scrawny figure. At the end, his friend connected the chain, and Charlie looked like he was about to cry.
The "funniest" example for me has to be watching him react to Kitchen Nightmares and constantly trying to prove everything was scripted and fake (y'know, Kitchen Nightmares, one of the few drama shows that have been proven
not to do that). He also displayed he has zero culinary knowledge and apparently hasn't been to a decent restaurant in his entire life. "Isn't [scallops] supposed to be full of grease?" No Charlie, they are not.
However, the most egregious one has to be his fruit tier list. Charlie and the same
lover friend from the toilet video bought a bunch of unripe fruit and while eating it he kept going "I don't know why the mango tastes like this. Usually they're chewy and flavorful, but this one is hard and tasteless." Motherfucker, when was the last time you've been to a grocery store?
Even the top comment points this out.
If a guy doesn't know fruit needs to be ripe for it to taste better, something most people learn when their age is in the single digits, what else does he know nothing about while pretending to? I don't need someone with the world experience of a toddler giving me their take on it.
