nick and augie work great with eachother, if they worked on a group channel or something I would probably enjoy it.
Nick has said he’s done appearing on other people’s show’s regularly, which is too bad bc they’re usually funny and commentary community content is at its best when it’s ya know, a community.
That sounds kinda gay, but like, drama is interactions between people. Audiences may like a general overview, but to enjoy something beyond background noise they need personalities, and they want to see those personalities intersect.
In the commentary community that tends to be more confrontational, the most memorable moments are usually infighting, but even in “commentary” this is the case. Viewers like Drew Gooden, but they like his collabs with Danny Gonzales even more.
I do think a lot of the slop arguments are pretty gay, mostly because they view short form content as the main issue and not the shitty documentaries that do/say nothing, but I think they sort of have a point about rewatchability. I think one of the only Tom videos from this year that I’ve rewatched was one that he made with Buckingham and the other guy. And there are good solo videos from this year that I rewatch, but generally the most memorable content involves more than one person.
I’ll still watch Nick, Augie, and whoever tf else’s streams because they’re entertaining (minus Tom), but Im always going to find streams with multiple people funnier.
