What do you find irritating about YouTubers?

[TinCan Wizard]

It's been getting worse for a few years. It's now in the middle of the video where whomever will waste several seconds telling you to like, subscribe and hit the bell. Though at least some people know how to time it and not completely interrupt the flow of what they are making - some just slap a pre made animation with a sound byte right in the middle of what they are doing. Fake cursor that comes up and hits subscribe, the whole bit.

When a solo youtuber get some popularity and then starts constantly featuring other people in their videos

I have dropped so many youtubers over this garbage, they hit their peak and then immediately they have all of their moron friends come in and start shitting up the content as it pivots away from what I subscribed for in the first place.

I can't count the amount of times I've seen a perfectly good video only for the guy to say "and here's my friend 'LiteralWhoYouTuberYou'veNeverHeardOfBefore' to do this part of the video for me!" and they have some obnoxious voice and unfunny jokes.


Also has been mentioned before but when a YouTuber starts doing facecam out of nowhere and constantly does dumb zoom ins on his face during a part, and also when the footage being used is from a stream and they put the autistic chat full of 12 year olds spamming emotes on screen when something "funny" happens. If they want to stream that's fine, just keep the cancer Twitch shit over there and out of your videos.

YouTubers who not only get in fights with other YouTubers, but make 15 minute videos about their social media battles. Lately I've been shaking my head at ReviewTechUSA versus the Quartering, ActMan versus Quantum TV, etc. There's something odd about dudes with grey in their beards going back and forth like children on a playground. It's like if Step Brothers was a documentary.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Fundraisers that are very clear grifts to send a message no one of base awareness gives a shit about.

Oh, fundraiser to protect the LGBTQ? Give them some hot coco and a reach around?

Fuck that, there's not a single loud mouth that doesn't genuflect and ass kiss the the letter gang. Know your place and do your job, Winston, entertain us or shut up.

Graphic thumbnails on videos about popping cysts, pulling rotting teeth, or draining animal hoof abscesses which the algorithm keeps promoting to the feed. Apparently enough people get off on this shit that it keeps trending.

Thumbnails endlessly filled with wacky facial expressions and pointless arrows because it supposedly gets more views.

Unnecessary facecams and grating voices.

Poorly disguised begging for channel engagement. “Anyway, that’s my video about X. But I really care about what you guys think. Please make sure to comment with your opinion down below.”

Interrupting a stream conversation mid sentence to read boring superchats.

“Real musician listens to *videogame song*”
“Doctor reacts to *movie*”
“Real life lawyer watches *cartoon*”

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

When people stopped willing to have arguments against each other and instead talk in the safety of their own YouTube channel. It's been happening more and more.

 

[UnclePhil]

Clickbait titles.

"Nintendo Just Proved They Hate Their Fans Again..."
"I've Been WARNED Not to Talk About This!"
"You Won't BELIEVE What SJWs Are Doing To Comics Now!"

It's the academic in me that hates this. Same as a written essay, I like a title that tells viewers exactly what they are getting before they click. If the uploader wants me to solve some mystery first, that's an instant red flag that tells me it's probably not that interesting.

 

[marvlouslie]

Begging people to like and subscribe before they even get to the fuckin' point of the video in the first place while putting the thing they're shilling for in the beginning. It's getting the point where if I even see that shit, I'm clicking off now.

Ok so if I'm being honest one of the new things YouTube has added that I actually like is the "chapter" system so that youtubers who make long videos covering various topics can organize the topics in their videos. It's surprisingly handy and also works well for music albums too. However now it really grinds my gears when youtubers don't use them. My personal theory is that some of these youtubers avoid using chapters because a system that allows users to skip to the relevant parts of the videos will naturally result in less watch time. Either that or they're just lazy and don't put them in.

Now that they've added the pornhub cum graph though Youtube seems to have made the super cool and smart decision to replace the chapter title(s, sometimes it's multiple contiguous ones) with a Most Watched Section! label, even though that's the exact information the fucking graph already conveys, so fuck the tubers that actually use it properly I guess.
And fuck us, since the most popular bit is statistically most likely the bit you were looking for if you're looking at chapter titles.

I know we keep saying it but it's great so many people's incomes and a not insignificant chunk of the culture are tied to a ship steered by such galactic super brains.

So THAT's what it's about. I started seeing that a few days ago and wondered if the uploader made some typo in the chapter name.

YouTube is too big to fail but too big to function.

Since people bringing other youtubers on once they peak has been mentioned I would like to say the opposite as well. The storytime animation community in particular as while the bigger ones are friends and have overlapping audiences, the ones starting out are particularly bad. Mostly because of getting artificial growth and I'm not surprised that many channels that brought in big storytime animators to voice a few lines for them have died.

 

[TheGreatDodongus]

So-called "ear rape", when they peak the fuck out of their microphone and heavily compress the audio, usually as a punchline to some joke. Maxmoefoe, pyrocynical etc. Never funny, always fucking obnoxious. Peak zoomer faggotry.

Vaporwave. Sick of every fucking video essay or channel intro having the exact same visual and musical style. I never thought I could hate synthesizers, but I'm getting there. Once again, blame fucking zoomers.

 

[Grand Wizard Wakka]

I hate "reviews" that are just a synopsis and dont even have analysis, impressions, riffing, reactions or anything. Just may as well be reading the synopsis section off a wikipedia article. Nothing to contribute or add. No reason to exist.

I also hate "news" YouTubers that dont have news but still gotta put out a video every day. Midnights Edge has been releasing like a video per day every day for the last SEVERAL YEARS about how their super inside source says Kathleen Kennedy is gonna get tried as a witch and fired from Disney and then publicly stoned to death... any day now! Or some guy with a beard giving his daily update that "WTF THOR IS A GIRL NOW!?" like yeah, I heard you the first 50 videos, how many fucking videos can you possibly make on this?

Also when YouTubers really have like a minute worth of content, but stretch it to like 30 minutes. Clownfish TV is a good example, where they'll be like "Thor's a girl now! Can you believe Thor's a girl? They're making Thor... a girl! A girl is Thor! How many ways can we repeat this sentence to fill 30 minutes? We dont have anything else to say or add or contribute but we have YouTube quotas!"

YouTubers who not only get in fights with other YouTubers, but make 15 minute videos about their social media battles.

Nick Rekieta has to fire up an emergency 10 hour stream to go seethingly totally laughingly over any and every Twitter slapfight he has over nothing.

 

[UnclePhil]

I'll tell you what I'm not going to miss. Those "You won't BELIEVE what face Amber Heard made today!" videos that cursed my algorithm after I watched a few minutes of the livestream.

 

[Colloid]

I hate how that cheating faggot Dream popularized the "Only x% of my viewers are subbed to me. Pls sub." You're a flash-in-the-pan fad for zoomers and that's all you'll ever be if your sub views never break 20%+. Take the hint moron.

As Dream's sub count continues to dwindle, he finds himself resorting to more and more extreme measures to get people to subscribe. He has even considered giving away free dreams (subscribers only) but so far that hasn't seemed to work. Perhaps he should try a different tack and start offering discounts on nightmares instead...

It happens rarely these days, but I hate it when youtubers mention a "sexy" female character and then make a joke about uncomfortable feelings or (if they're recalling a thing they played as a child) having asked their parents "awkward questions" or "this was my first erection."

A lot of times, the "sexy" person or incident is something I can't see how you would possibly get off on. A frequent example is leather pants. How are those sexy?

I mostly watch reviewers and I hate it when they have shallow takes or surface-level understanding of whatever media.

I also hate the amount of gaming tubers who never shut up about Mario, Sonic, Pokemon, or Zelda.

A lot of gaming youtubers are dweebs who are uncomfortable around sex and it makes for a painful viewing experience.

 

[Power Glove]

Censoring naughty naughty words because their little slice of e-fame makes them believe this is an actual job rather then a hobby and they don't want to anger the YT-gods.
Also, when they start steering their content more and more towards lazy reaction videos, while all they do is just make obnoxiously overacted faces and add nothing of value. The laziest content you can imagine, and somehow entire channels have sprouted up and have some measure of success doing braindead content like it.
