Restreamers/youtubers are 100% the reason I stopped hatewatching Phil like a year ago. They ran him into the ground for me. Now that everyone knows my opinion ain't worth jack, let's see...
Regarding full-blown restreamers:
No fucking soundboard/command shit, it's not fucking funny, it's never funny. DDM fucking broke me with this.
Regarding highlight/clip channels:
Stop using the same goddamn reaction clips over
and over and over and over. I'm talking shit like the spiderman Jameson laugh, that "what you just said is the single most stupid thing" clip from Billy Madison, various dumb pop culture shit you think is funny but you just ran into the ground for the rest of us. Snort Burnell filled every single fucking video with like 10-30% reaction clips. Towards the end it all made me want to throw my phone out the window. IMO most channels are following the
same path TGWTG did, where the interruptions steadily became more and more frequent and taking up more time and people just want to get on with the main attraction. All this shit is just to get a longer video for more ads (which we block anyways).
I'm assuming most of us don't fucking have 20–45+ minutes we want to devote to a cow especially an annoying one like Phil. If you can and you enjoy it, keep doing so, I'm not judging. Personally, I'd like to get in n' out in 5-10 minutes tops, and maybe swing by the thread that night after work to autistically discuss how Phil scratched his head for longer than 3 seconds on a Tuesday.
I know it's an
extremely thankless job to curate the pigroach* for a cadre of autists on the internet, so I'm not making demands or asking for blood or anything like that. This is just what I went through and why I don't bother keeping up with Phil that much anymore.
For what it's worth,
here's one of my favorite DSP videos from Soma. Look! Look at him getting turned into a turkey at 8:55! No fucking reaction clips, some silent commentary in the form of text, an occasional sound effect, in other words minimal contamination from the uploader. Le chef's kiss. If I were a greedy fuck I would ask that the chat be included, but never mind that.
*Does that make raw DSP ... an uncurated pigroach? Uncured pork?
