Here's a list of channels I either no longer watch or rarely watch, however it's not meant to be any ill will towards their creators. I have no hatred nor contempt for these Youtube channels, but I no longer keep up with their content for a variety of reasons, but mainly due to them being one-trick ponies who wore out their welcomes.
Again, I don't hate any of these channels -- I just don't have a need to keep up with them:
Joshua Fluke: I used to binge this guy's channel a few years back when I was in a job rut. Josh's whole gimmick is exposing cringey corporate culture for companies as well as complaining about office practices like HR departments, job recruiting hell, working onsite instead of remotely, hustle culture, resumes, Boomers, and every other thing involved with white collar work. In pre-pandemic times, I loved this guy's stuff as he was preaching to the choir, because I was in a shitty job situation where I was sending out hundreds of resumes and getting a handful of interviews for low-paying contract jobs that made me commute an hour and a half onsite. However, since then I've found a really great and comfy job that has excellent pay and benefits, allows me to remotely work, and doesn't make my life a living hell with commuting. That being said, I'm still subscribed to his channel... but I have absolutely no reason to keep up with his outrage porn of
"[insert Fortune 500 company] has a new policy and it's cringe!"
Louis Rossmann: He's a tech/repair channel that got big a while back for doing bikeride cam videos of the decay of NYC, but the majority of his content is a hybrid of complaining about "right to repair" laws and the downfall of NYC culture. As a former Brooklyn resident who never goes to the city anymore, I honestly really don't care about the fate of NYC, so I stopped caring about Louis' bike cam videos to show how shitty the city is now; trust me, I take his word for it. Also since right to repair is a one trick pony, I don't need to see multiple uploads per day discussing it. Again, not to hate on Louis (since he seems like a great guy and he does good work), but I lost interest in his content.
Jake Tran: I actually discovered his channel fairly recently and binged his content since he would make really great entryway redpill videos for normies (like uncovering Nestle and Monsanto), but in a short amount of time he devolved into clickbait and fearmongering. If you look at his videos from last year, he would have blatant videos and thumbnails that had titles/art like "Nestle is the most evil company on the planet" but lately his videos have thumbnails with some random CEO with red laser eyes and titles along the lines of "Wow, we're all gonna die next year!". It's a shame, too, because his channel was blowing up and he was dropping some solid redpills.
Joey's TCaP Channel: To be honest, the guy is kind of teetering on cowdom. He was a prominent To Catch a Predator channel from the 2010's prior to the big Chris Hansen controversy, but since TCaP fandom has really subsided since then, the guy has waned into irrelevancy and instead milks TCaP memes by uploading low-effort videos of former TCaP predators in their modern settings. For example, he really has a hardon for Lorne Armstrong
(oh cawd!) and has a bunch of candid videos of Lorne in his personal life doing mundane shit. I just don't get it. If you're gonna watch anyone's Predator videos, I recommend
Mista GG or
O-rested Development -- the latter is criminally underrated.
Camelot331: Similar to the same reason as Joshua Fluke, Camelot331 is kind of a one-trick pony who I lost interest with especially since I'm not working for a shitty company with the boss from hell anymore. Camelot got big because he was a former GameStop employee who left the company on bad terms and made a bunch of rant videos on how bad the company is. They were enjoyable at first, but now his channel devolved into him reading off viewer submissions of horrible shit that wagies are forced to do at low-paying jobs -- but a lot of it seems questionable and exaggerated. I also got kind of annoyed with his accent: I've heard him in a podcast before where he speaks with his normal voice -- he actually has a Southern accent, but it's not nearly as pronounced or thick as his "character" voice where he plays up being from Alabama. Again, I'm not hating on Camelot, but I honestly don't care to see another clickbait video about
"You won't BELIEVE what this Taco Bell manager did!". On Twitter, however he's actually really based.
John Michael Godier: Subdued astronomer and sci-fi author who makes list videos about space facts and theories. He made enjoyable background noise a while back because he didn't radiate Vsauce soy energy, but quite frankly I find his videos boring now. I try to occasionally listen to his videos with titles like
"10 reasons why might be living in a black hole now" and find myself zoning out and ignoring everything within minutes. The best way to summarize this guy is that he's basically
WhatIfAltHist but with astronomy instead of history.
ItsAGundam: Basically more outrage news ala TheQuartering, only with less soy and with more annoying New Jersey accent. I like the guy and agree with his political takes for the most part, but he can milk out a single headline into a 20 minute video. Like Camelot, he's actually more enjoyable on Twitter than he is on Youtube, so there's that.
Whimsu / KnowledgeHub: The former is a spinoff of the latter, and both channels rarely upload and instead release videos sporadically for topics I don't care about such as modern tech and video game consoles. Back in the early days of KnowledgeHub (when he would partner with his brother Cody) the videos were still sporadic but highly-anticipated. Post-2019 KnowledgeHub radically shifted in format, but I still kept up anyway until he changed his style in recent months. I still occasionally watch KnowledgeHub, BUT I find myself less interested in his videos and only watch parts of them before tuning out.
SwankyBox: Gaming channel where the guy explores custom edited versions of Nintendo games (especially N64) to see if he can play them. It was mildly amusing at first, but again, he's yet another one-trick pony. I honestly don't care to see another video titled
"Can you beat Super Mario 64 without collecting coins!?"
There are a bunch more, but these are the ones that come to mind.
Again, I want to make this very clear that I do not hate any of these aforementioned channels, and that I'm still subscribed to all of them -- I just rarely watch their videos, I don't keep track of new uploads, and for some I don't even have the bell notification clicked because I don't eagerly anticipate their new stuff. Some of them I follow on Twitter, and they seem like cool and reasonable people.
