What Are Some Youtube Channels You Used to Watch?

Midnights Edge, Clownfishtv or any of the Kathleen Kennedy will totally be fired this time Youtubers- There videos gotten old real fast and overtime I realized they do not have actual knowledge of what they are talking about.

I find it funny that many skeptic commentators pretend to act as if they know what they're talking about. Midnight's Edge's take on Toy Story 4 really lost me and that's when I unsubbed to the channel. Basically the same complaint about DC, Marvel and Star Wars, and sometimes jumping on popular trendy bandwagons like the Sonic movie or other bullshit.
Saaaame. I used to enjoy Midnight's Edge quite a lot, because they used to provide accurate information. Seriously, their series on the Josh Trank Fantastic Four movie was great and really entertaining to watch. Fast-forward to now, and it's all about "Kathleen Kennedy" and "Brie Larson," only because reactionary shit gets more clicks than actually putting forth the effort to write and edit a video that is actually informative.

Like, I hate the wokeness that's infesting every franchise I ever loved as well, but I'm just so, so tired of seeing and talking about it on every waking moment of my day. I get it: It's totally a problem, but I don't want or need to watch videos about it constantly from several different people, no less.
It's sad that Midnight's Edge's Fantf4stick videos were their only informative videos. Their Ghostbusters 2016 videos were informative for a while until they kept beating the dead horse, the same with Brie Larson or Kathleen Kennedy.

I do not like Captain Marvel or the Sequel Trilogy, and I also hate that every franchise has to have face-value woke agenda, especially to the franchises I love. But literally, they could just talk about something new or original rather than hammering down the exact same messages or jumping on the bandwagon that's popular as hell.

Just stick with RedLetterMedia as they're much better at analyzing film and television (and also I need to mention that their content is still quality).
 
ElectricDragon505/AniMat, some of his older videos were good but overtime he become more annoying and it felt like he wasn't putting in more effort into his work.

Eric July/YoungRippa seems to be the only one in the "Fandom Menace" who still provides commentary that I find compelling and interesting to watch, and he doesn't do the clickbaiting shit about "Will Kathleen Kennedy be fired this time? Insiders say yes, and that's it's totally going to happen this time!" And he's shown that he has other passions and hobbies that he focuses on as well, and that it's not just him crying about Star Wars or Marvel over and over.
I still think if Andre (the Norwegian) went solo he'd go back to that kind of Hollywood insider, disastrous production stories instead of whining about wokeness. It's really the Americans on that channel who keep falling for the "Kennedy will totally be fired THIS TIME" memes.
 
MrBeast
I subscribed to him when he was at like 100k because of his Worst Intros on YouTube series. The intros were fun to cringe at and his commentary was actually good. I slowly stopped watching him and lost interest when his Worst Intros videos got much less frequent and would instead upload random stuff. Eventually the amount of YouTube that I would watch decreased significantly so I completely forgot about him. Apparently he blew up and now he does nothing but “Hurr hurr hurr watch me give away (expensive thing) for free“ or “Hurr hurr hurr whoever does (random activity) the longest without stopping gets 10 grand” and I just don’t care enough to watch it.

I Hate Everything
He’s just become Movie Reviewer #173552177 now. I used to really like his old videos, because he was funny and talked about all sorts of random stuff. My favorite videos from him were always the Comment Comeback videos, because it was super entertaining to listen to him respond to autists who got all ass-blasted that someone would dare criticize something that they like.

Hmmm. Two channels where my personal favorite aspects were whenever I could laugh/cringe at retards on the Internet. Makes sense why I am on KF now.

Oh man, SO many (presumably) dead channels that I used to watch back in the early 2010s. Most of these I stopped watching for no particular reason so I'll instead give a brief summary of my thoughts on them and who they are if they're more obscure. Feel free to laugh at my dogshit taste.

Dcigs/Siggas
Imagine EDP's style of videos but intentionally funny and not a pedo (I think). He was featured on =3 one or two times and did sketch comedy and rants about things. No idea what he's doing now or if any of his old skits/rants hold up but I loved his stuff back in the day.

Outback Zack OBZ
Edgy rants about many topics and one of the early loud = funny people. Pretty much all of his videos that I used to watch have been delisted/privated so I don't know how they hold up. Also I had no fucking clue he was the one behind the YoMama channel and apparently he's got a thread here.

Corey Williams/SMPfilms
The Mr. Safety and Mean Kitty guy. Checked in on his vlogs last year for the first time in a very long time and his hair is completely white and he has kids, a bit jarring to see after I stopped watching him around 2011/2012.

Shane Dawson when he was still doing skits so 2010 - 2012
This one's a bit of a "fuck you I liked it." It's definitely cringe to look at now but I enjoyed the skits and characters he did back then. I have absolutely no fucking clue why he's now in the beauty community but he is fat and I would not have sex with him.

Smosh
Fuck you I liked it. Stopped watching way before they started having other people on that weren't Ian or Anthony; I could only take so many X IF HE REAL videos.

The old guard of Let's Players
Chuggaconroy, NCS, ProtonJon, etc. You just grow out of their style eventually and they haven't really evolved with the times. Heard Tim has never caught a break over the years which is such a shame since he's a legitimately nice guy but got hit with the 'tism just enough to make life difficult.

The Arin Hanson Extended Universe
It's telling that the only audience he has now is young, easily manipulated teenage girls. That being said, Jon Grumps and his early cartoons are still great.

Here's some more recent YouTubers where I can pinpoint actual reasons I stopped watching.

H3H3 Productions
"Oy vey the goyim know, SHUT IT DOWN."

iDubbbz
"I'm a proud cuck." Also doesn't help that modern-day Youtube TOS/Community Guidelines neutered him so bad that the only thing he can do is squirrel trapping videos.

Penguinz0/Cr1tikal
Became the type of personality that the would have made fun of years ago. He has the same problem that SomeOrdinaryPajeets has of moral grandstanding and saying nothing for ten minutes. Also the Pokemon/Yui-Gi-Oh shit is dumb; watching his girlfriend sperg on him when she found out how much he spent was hilarious.

CallMeCarson/JSchlatt
Maybe it's just because I'm a zoomer but I don't find these two incredibly annoying. Carson had his ....thing happen so there's nothing TO watch now and with Schlatt I just don't find the pre-recorded stuff as funny.

Vinesauce (Both Vinny and Joel)
Once you fall behind on watching streams they both become hard to understand since new memes come out of nowhere. Also I just don't have the time for watching VODs anymore.

TheReportOfTheWeek
I respect his autism but the content is repetitive and I don't give a shit about fast food.

Michael from RoosterTeeth
RT is a massive trainwreck and Michael doesn't upload anything on his channel anymore so..........

James Rolfe/AVGN
He lost the passion and his hairline.


There's so many more that I'm forgetting but I'll stop hoarding space here.

Could you elaborate on this? I used to occasionally listen to his stuff as background noise way back in the day as well. Did something happen to him?

What did midnight edge say about Toy story 4?

I based what I said off of what an anon on /v/ said in March right when Dan from GameGrumps got exposed, from what I remember he's still a wizard, had some family deaths, and he got scammed for money once or twice by people close to him. I've been searching for that post on the 4chan archives but it hasn't turned up. The only other option is listening through the wealth of content over the years but the consensus seems to be that he's deteriorating. Just looking on his channel and seeing every new upload with under 10k views is rough.

I was able to find a couple things to back up what I said in the above paragraph. First, his mom died in 2018.
Second, he got cucked by ProtonJon.

I would like to look into it more but the whole thing just makes me sad.
 
Classic Game Room's death sucked so hard. Mark's over ambitious nature that killed it, but I can't hate the man.

I haven't 100% ditched AVGN but I'm never in a rush anymore to watch his stuff. I'll still see the new episodes and any solo film reviews of him but anything else at this point I avoid like the plague.

Pewdiepie. Just moved on.

Superbunnyhop. I don't know what happened but I guess Kotaku writers.

Game Makers Toolkit: Twitter sperged about being a cuck or something.

Ryan Boundless. TBH he's actually mutated from bitter english teacher in Japan to lolcow stuck in Africa getting creep shots of women, but before his fall from grace in Japan to mud huts of Kenya I just stopped watching his bitchy rants because after awhile it became clear he's just full of that trademarked entitled American exceptionalism with insane projections towards women. (also lol he paywalled the full clips of him dealing with gaijin hunters and his dad turning out gay)

Retsupurae. I'm sad to see how slowbeef, Chip and Ironicus all turned out, especially with Chip deleting all of their Retsupuraes. At least I found out that Diabeetus streams occasionally, and that he's still laid back and funny as always.
Was missing Retsuepurae the other day, that stuff was a blast in the late 00's/early 10's. Now when I go and see what little new stuff is out, it's what Slowbeef used to shit on. Always wondered what the beetus is up to.
 
CrazyShootin/The Click
I used to watch this guy back in the day, I liked his "trolling the amnesia monster's" series, I liked his old gameplays because he usually kept cool not like Pewdiepie screaming at absolutely everything because "muh scary game", but as time went on it became clear he wasn't enjoying what he was doing anymore, and his LPs began to feel boring, I stopped watching shortly after that, he now makes videos where he just reacts to memes and I'm not interested in his content anymore

CinemaSins
His first few videos actually pointed out mistakes on the films shit like "main character jumps trough a window only for it to be magically repaired in the next shot", and ocassionally adding joke sins like "Sean Bean isn't dying in this scene" but he eventually started focusing more on bitching about the movie than actually pointing out mistakes or inconsistencies.
 
It's just them doing misinformation about how Toy Story 4 is an obvious cashgrab (as with many other people who get mad at its existence), when realistically it was in production even before the third's release.
Honeslty I like Toy Story 4. But I get it so basically they don't do any history on the movies production

Oh where to start...

AVGN/NC: I grew up, they didn't.

Markiplier: I loved a lot of his videos where he played weird horror games and such. Then FNAF happened and he became a screaming banshee and I just couldn't do it anymore.

Random Encounters: After it came out that AJ was an abusive controlling dick that treated SparrowRayne like shit then replaced her with the chick he was banging. I was done.

Game Theory: Sucking that FNAF peen. (For the record: I actually like the games, but holy fuck the lore channels that sprang up from them clogged me feed forever)

Steve1989: This one I feel kinda bad about. Him going over the background of the MRE's and survival packs is what was interesting for me. Everything else is very samey. About once a year I'll hit up his channel to see if there are any info videos over MRE videos and watch those.

Rageaholic: Most of his non-electoral rants I enjoyed, even though our political views differ pretty harshly. Then he went Trump-tard-tastic and has not really shut up about it for the last 2-3 years.

That shtick got really old really fast, especially when he started stretching the videos out to be 10+ minutes.

Edit: Speaking of shticks getting old, I used to watch Honest Trailers. I gave up sometime in 2014, because it just stopped being funny to me. I know it's not a channel, but I pretend like the rest of Screen Junkies doesn't exist.

Same for me, I liked his horror LPs because he was more collected than Pewdiepie or other who would just start screaming over absolutely nothing, but like you said he recently embraced the "screaming banshee" persona, and Lixian keeps inserting himself into the videos, their banter got old really fast

I personally liked Toy Story 4 as well, a bit better than the third, honestly. I still think the second is easily the best in the entire franchise.

No, I'm not trying to defend Disney as a company because I know it's another giant soulless corporation and all, but lot of skeptics just jump on the film without giving any proper conclusions because "muh Disney needs to be boycott" or some other stupid bullshit, and therefore it's popular to hate the film because of that said dumbass reason.

I mean, sure this was released around the time as shit like Lion King 2019, Aladdin 2019 and Spiderman Far from Home (latter was from Sony, but still distributed by Disney under its Marvel banner due to the Spiderman property), but the strangest thing is, they haven't even seen the same exact movie and therefore they just assume that because it has the Disney brand, it needs to be boycott or write it off as some soulless cashgrab or some other stupid bullshit.

I used to watch Pewdiepie for quite a while, up until he started focusing on making almost exclusively Minecraft videos: I don't play Minecraft, I don't care for it, and so I lost interest and unsubscribed. Recently, out of curiosity I decided to check his channel again and noticed that he was back to make all different types of videos, however when I started watching a few of them I noticed that this guy with a black mustache and cat ears earphones would often pop up: for some reasons, I find everything about this guy extremely annoying; and so I left again.

I used to watch Optimus for a while as well: he uploads videos very frequently and so I would loosely listen to him while cooking or doing the chores around the house, without paying much attention. However, I started noticing that his takes/commentaries, which are always clear cut also seemed kinda botched/rushed and based on a very superficial knowledge of the topic he was commenting on. It became particularly obvious when he was addressing topics I was myself very familiar with, and he just started to sound like an arrogant idiot who thinks he knows it all and has heard it all.; He would also kinda repeat the same thing over and over until reaching the 10 minutes mark of the video. Maybe because of the pressure of putting out content daily , he just didn't have enough time to really explore the topics he was commenting one and would only deliver his takes based on the title of the article. And so i left.

Finally I used to watch the Final Fantasy Peasant, he was obviously very passionate about FF and would talk about it with a lot of genuine joy and excitement. His lore theories were particularly interesting to listen to, however it eventually came up that a lot of these theories came from other people with less clout and that he did not always acknowledge them. Also when was of his theories got formally debunked by the source material ( If I remember well it think it was about the story of the Astrals in FFXV), he completely lost it : he would not admit defeat and he started claiming that his theory was the right one anyway, that it was better, and would rage in the comment section against anyone who would disagree with him and call him out; his behavior was so pretentious and he acted as if he owned the whole FF lore. He even suggested at one point that the staff of Square Enix would watch some his videos to elaborate and expend on the lore of their games.
 
NFKRZ used to be one of my favorite channels until the Lt.corbis/Soph mess and that fucking open minded video that finally made me unsubscribe

Natetalkstoyou used to be one of my favorites during the early days of youtube, however I stopped following after his upload schedule became inconsistent. The final straw was the ben shapiro transgender video. Granted I hate shapiro, but this video is full of pro-transgender nonsense and garbage.


Yet another falls to licking troon feet
