I disagree to an extent,Forgive the effortposting, but it's apparent that Tom the Turk is trying to develop his craft, and considering he's said on stream he essentially grew up on KF I think there's a good chance he might care what people think of him here.
But to try to dig into what our common grievance is, he's try-harding too hard to have a matter-of-fact tone of voice, and it can get a bit boring.
I think I understand why he does it, though, since the current meta/trend seems to be way over in the other ditch.
He can be charismatic even with scripted content, so I think he's just over-corrected a bit trying to be too serious. Need to get that KF spirit of laughing at retards back.
The last part is exactly why his content doesn't work anymore.
He isn't laughing at retards because it isn't safe and it is why I don't give tom that slack also because he caved into that.
During the Pyro shit he just bailed for two months, then he changed his entire style of content after being called out.
It has ruined what made his content stand out to begin with.
His jokes, how much of himself he used to put into it, his little juxtapositions that made his videos stand out are just gone.
He is learning how to edit better but not much different from TRO and others like him.
If that shit isn't entertaining and I can't get that same experience somewhere elsewhere that is just as impactful, then why would I keep watching him?
Why would I want to watch a topic I already seen talked about more interesting elsewhere on tom's channel with nothing that makes it stand out?
Even his research is just him regurgitating what other channels have already mentioned before.
You can put as many sparkle effects as you want, but if I can go to joe smo and get the same experience for less time and less dramatics, why would I keep watching tom?
I just don't agree, his content is very samey once you break down the fundmentals of it.
Dramatic royalty free music, editing effects that anyone with after effects can use, and just recapping events with no humor inbetween.
When he does experiment it is very held back or forced/grating.
I want to see a unique video being made for once.
He used to animate for god sakes now he doesn't even draw.
If tom did shitty animation for the james video, then in another switched up to another style for another, then I would give him that credit.
That would show real effort and make those videos stand out in a way that only he could.
But no, that video is not much different to his shadman video, or his reddit losers video.
I want to see tom make stuff only he can make that is unique to him and no one else can replicate.
I don't care he is a kiwi, he's been making video for over five years now, and most of these videos all look and sound the same.
He has the resources and the money now.
I want to see him make some cool, unique shit that isn't just an emo documentary for the 70th time again.
I want to see stuff that makes me not want to miss looking at the screen or listening to him.
If I can walk away and miss nothing of importance visually or vocally, then that is a serious issue to me.
