Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

Really hate it when videos of abuse victim end it with a dialog of calling suicide/abuse hotline. Is there a time those actually has helped? And it comes off as condescending, as if everyone watching the video is thinking of suicide/is an abuse victim.

Just because I like to watch murder mysteries, doesn't mean there's any problems in my life.
my problem with him is that he’s fat
 
Why are you acting like true crime youtubers putting the numbers for suicide and domestic abuse hotlines is a direct attack towards you? That's just the kind of shit their content is made out of. Of course they'd include it.
Cause it's an attack on me. Of course I click off the video when it appears, but I still have to waste a nanosecond or so:thinking:
 
Wendigoon is pretty good when it comes to iceberg chart videos and YouTube horror in general since he mostly does go into depth instead of just randomly listing off the entries.

But I'll admit that I'm a sucker for the iceberg chart videos and I enjoy them unironically a lot of the time.

I'm almost caught up on his Conspiracy Iceberg series. I'd say he's good, and by far the most competent at the Iceberg video. Those that I have watched, have ranged from bad(giving the most surface two sentence synopsis) to awful (literally just reading the text off the meme, no description).

However, when ever he talks about anything sciencey, I start to wonder if he's an exceptional individual. I don't actually believe he's dumb, he definitely puts a lot of effort into research, and he's typically very good at communicating concepts. However, when he brings up the word Quantum, I'm likely to cringe.

Eh, he tries, and I have to give him credit for researching the topics. If I remember right, he went to school more to be a historian than a scientist, so he's gonna be stronger in one field than the other.
 
I saw a few people mention MrBallen a few pages back: I watched a few of his videos recently, so now my entire recommended feed is this guy's stuff. He's decent -- nothing too special, and as others have pointed out, his delivery/style is great, but he does the algorithm clickbait game too hard. Hell, he even makes the soy face in some of his thumbnails, despite being this tough military dudebro character.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to trash the guy. Like, whatever he's trying to do, it's clearly working because these videos get millions of views, and he just kind of appeared out of nowhere, so obviously he knows how to play the coveted algorithm game. More power to him, I guess. However, he still covers the same true crime topics that we've already heard about a million times already like Dyatlov Pass, Elisa Lam, Nutty Putty Cave, etc. etc.

If you're gonna act like a generic fag youtuber I don't care how good your content is lol. In the whole vein of how morally right it is to cover true crime for personal gain, using clickbait as bad as this is an absolute great fucking example of disrespect. ETA if I was murdered and turned into a popular cold case I'd much rather have my story covered by some guy in his basement talking into a mic over static images rather than have it turned into another red arrow and circle, mouth open and ready for cock clickbait thumbnail
 
Look, technically human life is temporary but that's intellectually corrupt as an argument. If the problem is you're supposed to exist another 40-50 years in a broken body and fractured mind, it's not a temporary problem.

ooh baby, that's the good doom right there
Could you please detail your statement regarding the intellectual corruption of the "life is temporary" argument? No bait, I'm genuinely interested, because I have been struggling with that concept as of late.
 
That Gemini Home Entertainment thing from Wendigoons new video is some top tier stuff, easily the best Local 58 imitator from what I've watched so far.
I had my apprehensions but he did a pretty good job covering up the rest of what Inside a Mind didn't. The fact he purposefully put all the important links directly to the original channel to give them the traffic instead of himself is pretty cool
 
Learned that his wife is bi, and daughter is pansexual. He isn't old at all, so his kids can't be that old. This proves that he's a groomer.

Look who's blind

Not wanting to make any accusations or anything but you might be onto something with the groomer thing

obviously could just be a joke (Spoilered comment just says “poop”. I didn’t feel like opening it for the screenshot) but the angle and lack of lighting from anything other than the camera flash :(

There is also a separate role for 18+ users (which tbf there seems be a pretty okay system where you have to provide your id, a picture of your face, Discord tag and the current date shown somewhere in the photo) but I haven’t gotten myself verified yet (just been lazy and haven’t felt like contacting an admin and doxing myself to them) so I can’t speak for his behavior on the nsfw side of the server.

EDIT:
I should have clarified that the 18+ side of the server was described as being as a place to “support” sex workers and letting them advertise/ post pictures. Again, I haven’t gotten access yet.

I can commend the level of security to get the 18+ role in the server and the intent on promoting people (sfw artists and content creators are also encouraged to share their stuff so it’s not just pop up window lvl tier porn ads) but at this point, I feel like he’s tempting fate into getting tangled up in some Projared cheating scandal kind of stuff.

Especially since he’s been known to use tik tok and has admitted to making throw away accounts to accessing the service again. The emphasis to never using a throw away account for anything other than investigating something is a weird thing to bring up as most people assume a throwaway account is going to be used one time and tossed away...like the name implies. Why would you make a point that you don’t use your throwaway for anything else if you didn’t want to dissuade viewers to go looking for it for some reason?

I get weird vibes from him so I’ll continue hate watching and snooping around the discord for anything. If he just turns out to be an edgy weirdo then I’ll apologize and will carry about my day. If he turns out to be more, I got the evidence to back it up.

Also call me a prude but I generally don’t agree with non-sexual Nsfw and sfw youtubers trying to incorporate sex work stuff even on the downlown. It particularly feels like a weird way to get away with being horny on main without being called out for it.

i wouldn't be surprised if this dude ends up being a creep. but he also tries to be pretty edgy/jokes a lot based off of the handful of videos i've seen of his. i'd be interested to see what goes on in his discord
 
So, remember a few months ago when some of you guys debated whether or not ScareTheater was that All Things Lost guy -- since the former's disappearance coincides with the latter's sudden rise in popularity, and their voices/mannerisms are oddly similar? Well, out of boredom I was going through Barley Sociable's tweets, and he gives an update...

...apparently ScareTheater stopped making his videos on his channel. Maybe that All Things Lost guy is actually him, and he's trying to rebrand himself under a new persona? It wouldn't be the 1st time this sorta thing happened. Like, there's that Punished Creepswork/Ten Bond guy who did something similar where he gave up with his main channel and did something like his old channel, but rebranded his persona.

This is something that I think That Chapter does really well. He's never in the thumbnails making faces and uses pictures of the people involved in the case with the victim/murders name on the top left corner and his logo in the bottom left. They catch my eye a lot more since I see more about what the video is gonna be rather than just him, and just feels less... intrusive overall.
 
Pretty sure YouTube's going to get tired of Plagued Moth's shit soon. His two most recent videos about the TikTok beheading clip have both been age restricted and the same can be said for a few of his other vids. I know he wants to promote his content as "ThE moSt ConTROveRSiaL ComMenTAry oN YoUTUbE" but he's basically painting a target on his back.

GHE is probably the closest to a legitimate masterclass in analog horror, but mostly because L58 and the others have been quiet. Remy knows what he isn't good at, and works around deficiencies with camerawork and performances pretty well. Analog horror is made in the editing, and GHE knows how to build tension with just some title cards and warped jazz.

He's also active in Cold Raven's server, I haven't seen anything worth sharing but if someone more autistic than me wants to join to look at his messages it's an open server.
