What are some Youtuber gimmicks that make you instantly dislike them or their content?

[passivecall]

Title is self explanatory. Have you ever encountered a creator with somewhat decent topics/writing/jokes only to find it unbearable because of some repeated bullshit? I'll list a few of my personal dislikes.

-Creators like Nexpo that love to do video essays with a 5-10 minute long cinematic intro + after-intro video explanation-intro segment. Alongside video essay creators that start a simple video topic with a completely unrelated intro for watchtime.
-Similarly, creators that make compilations of something that is actually interesting only to voice-over the entire thing and show a small clip of the video in question, like Nuke's Top 5.
-Creators that are never not shouting or trying to sound more excited than any rational person should be. Think GrayStillPlays, Kwebbelkop, and creators that fall under the 'Daily Dose of Internet' category from the past couple years.

 

[The Early 2000s]

-When they purposely sound monotone (to make themselves seem neutral on the topic at hand)
-When they have those gay faggot avatars of themselves on screen
-When they just give a summary of something and add their worthless opinion in the last 2 minutes of the video
-They are gay and constantly try to brute-force gay memes/jokes to remind us that yes, they are indeed a gay homosex
-They are a woman

bisexual lighting

 

[Nicholas II of Russia]

When they do the equivalent of the soyjak opening their mouth and using it as thumbnail.

That made me unsub from many channels because of that, it gives me the sensation that they're so fake on making content and I don't bother watching them anymore.

 

[Lei Wulong's Left Leg]

When they literally just repeat what they found on ED or KF verbatim.
A weak ending to a video essay - I could never stand SunnyV2 for this exact reason.

 

[The Backwards Man]

I can't stand videos with titles like "XYZ - The XYZ of the XYZ", "The problem with XYZ" or "What really happened with XYZ?" Every single fucking video essay has this, and it's usually a sign that the video is just a lazy reading of a wikipedia article with shit takes sprinkled in between.

 

[rel=alternate]

Creators who needlessly include little bits of political commentary, or go out of their way to give political interpretations of things when convenient to their narrative.

Creators who can't get to the point and just talk shit with their friends for hours on stream before dumping this unedited pile of shit on YT with a clickbait title as if it was not 5% of the video (ie De Oreo or Tommy C)

Creators who give into the annoying "current trend" formulas to increase their click through. ie; titles like "When x realized Y", "When a X IQ whatever" etc..

Creators who use a loud bell and icon to tell me to subscribe, or tell me about their view stats and how many are subscribed.

There are probably other things, but I try not to watch things that irritate me.

 

[Xenomorph]

Fence sitters so esstentially everything Boogie does

 

[Brenda Holiday]

I have a good rule that if they show their face unnecessarily, it's going to be a waste of time. I'm right the majority of the time.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Annnnnyone who uses standard youtube title card visuals (their head on one side, image on the other.) Its just short hand for them begging for money at this point, major red flag. I won't even look at the vid unless you are already known to me.
Anyone who lies or overstates for clickbait. Space Mountain is closing forever! Is the Sega Saturn really worse than the N64? Look at this abandoned train depot! All videos I've made the mistake of clicking on, all fucking lies.
Actually, on that last one, anyone who claims a run-down area is "abandoned" if it isn't. I know it helps the algorithm but its a fucking lie, don' show mothballed or under-renovation stuff as "abandoned."
Slow talkers. (I'll turn you off even I care about the content, I don't have time for you to lisp through your script like an 8th grader giving a report.)
People who re-state points or stretch things out to meet certain time frames.

 

[Not A Bunny]

When they complain about having to do something because the audience wants them to.

Shut the unrelenting fuck up. You know what gets your bread buttered. If your audience wants you to watch the Fifty Shades trilogy, watch it, do your commentary, and take your money like the paypig you are.

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

does awful narration voice count? i'm sick of finding mildly interesting topics being voiced over by a fucking geek that's orating through his nose.

 

[Kid Named Rocket]

>reviewer has an evil twin
>reviewer talks about a bad movie/game/anime and pretends to go LE HECKIN CRAZY!!!! XDDDDDDDD
>reviewer acts like a slightly weird movie/game/anime is LE INCOMPREHENSIBLE PRODUCT OF DRUGS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA and makes no effort to actually try and understand anything
>reviewer pads out the video's runtime with boring and gay "skits"
>reviewer has sponsorship segments in general, but this one is especially egregious if there are no timestamps or any clear indicators of where I should skip to if I just want to get to the rest of the video

 

[JamusActimus]

Scary binaural beats.


99% of horror channels do it.

 

[Sundae]

Anyone who begs for you to like and subscribe. If the video is good I'll click the like button, you don't have to beg in an annoying manner for me to do so. Same with subscribing, if the content is good and I like the creator's work, I'll subscribe.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

These practices are so ubiquitous that you should learn to suck it up and ignore it. They wouldn't do it if it didn't get results.

It would be funny if YouTube made a feature to default to different watch speeds on different channels.

 

[Nitro!]

Is there anything YouTubers do that isn't engineered to be aggravating?

- Ten seconds of information in a ten minute video
- Hhhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyyy GUYSY'ALL WHATS UP it's ya boi RetardFaggot9999 with another HOT TAKE of reciting Wikipedia
- Every third word is plastered on the screen with a sound effect to appeal to the terminal phone addicts
- SMASH that like and subscribe!

tl;dr YouTubers are subhuman no exceptions.

 

[Tiny Chinaman]

Advertising of ay kind and subliminal homosexuality

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Arrows, circles and emojis in the thumbnail along with any variation of wojak/pepe/gigachad. Why am I still getting this shit if I basically only listen to AI covers, watch 90s cartoons and a sporadic video from Accursed Farms or Fullsauce?

 

[Exister]

When they talk like a faggot
