Back in the late 2000’s-early 10’s when every other movie/video game/music critic on youtube tried to emulate the TGWTG style of reviewing, only a few of these Channel Awesome wannabes who never got on that website would see some success within the angry reviewer community, one of which was Marc Mues aka MuesProductions.

Most of his reviews were on pop music and wrestling, and i’m pretty sure he did a bunch of rants on other stuff everyone made rants on back then (like Fred, reply girls, soccer moms, PETA, Westboro Baptist Church, etc)
Pretty much all of his old content is wiped off the internet due to two main factors:
1. He put too many of his eggs in the Blip.tv basket before that site shut down in 2015 and either he never backed them up or just never reuploaded them anywhere.
2. Sometime around, i wanna say, 2016-18 he went full-blown sjw and took down all of his old pre-2014 youtube videos because of his supposed “bigoted” mindset he thinks he had at the time.
(His old videos aren’t totally gone from the public, they’re now behind a paywall over on his “
fanhouse”)
I used to watch his videos back when i was in middle school, but around 2013-14 i stopped checking out his latest uploads and pretty much forgot about him, only checking up on him once in awhile.

I think around 2015 is when he started to wane away from ranting and started making a couple new series on his channel riffing on old tv sitcoms and commercials with his ogre girlfriend Neb and his fat and bald best friend Dillon. He isn’t entirely done with reviewing, however, as he’s been co-hosting the “Goin Off” music podcast with Channel Awesome alum the Rap Critic since 2014, and occasionally posting music reviews on youtube.
With this change in content and Mues’s sjw views turning him more aggressive towards his old audience who originally subscribed for his rants, his channel viewership tanked.
These videos from 2018 on Mues change explain how far Mues had fallen better than i can.

Fast forward to today and he’s still trying to make “Riffcoms” a thing, even renaming his channel and social media accounts. Currently he’s sitting at nearly 28k subscribers on youtube, but he’s lucky if a video cracks 500 views within the first month.

His (or should i say they’re) twitter is a whole other animal and it really shows how far he’s come in 10 years.
