Youtubers are the worst type of people

I'm so tired of "Youtubers" writ large, and here's why.
I'm tired of being told to hit the like button. Hey, faggot: If I like your video, I'll tell the site that I like your video. I don't need to be told, asked, or demanded to do so. Especially if you tell me at the start of the video . How the fuck would I know if I like this shit before even seeing it?
I also don't need to be told to subscribe. If I want to see more of you, I will. It's your job to make me want to.

I do not give a fuck how much money you have. You are the retard who decided to forgo getting a steady job in lieu of whining into your microphone. If your shot gets demonitized, that's a you problem. Likewise, don't cry to me about your money problems during live streams. I'm not watching you to hear how your car needs new tires.

Youtube monetization ruined the site.
and fuck you, especially
"this is my job", get a better one, all you do is cry about money, you fucking faggot

Edit: this guy's Livestreams are especially insufferable, since it's 40% begging, 55% donation reading, and 5% content.

There's deeper reasons to dislike Youtube personalities and the general behavior the website encourages among its more popular users. These individuals repeatedly telling viewers to simply interact with the video is the most superficial reason to dislike them.

My personal strongest dislike of Youtubers is the constant need to find a target to make into an enemy. The easiest way to do so, and the most common, is to find another Youtube to leech fame off of, which is encouraged due to the engagement which results from the ensuing drama. If no suitable target is present, they lower their standards for what is suddenly offensive, and scan again. If a suitable target is still not present, repeat until success. Then you have "callout" videos where one user accuses another of something benign off of flimsy evidence or hysterical theorizing.

In addition, there are common tropes which aren't apparent but overwhelmingly irritating once you notice them. Another flaw with Youtube is content doesn't necessarily need to be quality if there is enough quantity, and so even uncreative people can find success. Cue three hour videos which say about ten paragraph's worth of meaningful content. Or look at the same repeated jokes, like creators making intentionally bad puns and spending 10 seconds minimum pointing out what they just said so you're extra sure it was intentional. One thing you can't stop noticing once you start is how next to no Youtuber has any mastery over public speaking. Seldom will you ever see a video where the speaker is on-camera and it doesn't jumpcut every 5 seconds, sometimes mid-sentence, because they don't want to memorize talking points and can barely speak two sentences without flubbing a line.

Holy shit. No words have ever rung true as yours. Surprisingly intelligent for someone who is in charge of the Animal Control in KF. This is especially true in my country where the content here was relatively dogsh!t for a while. The most famous YouTubers constantly getting into beef for the dumbest shit possible. Rinse and repeat.

The thing is, this works.
There have been studies that revealed that people are more likely to like, comment and subscribe if they're told to do so.
Look it up.

I extensively use the "do not recommend channel" option to filter out undesirable channels. It helps a little. I'm mostly sick of reaction channels that provide zero substance. Like just a literal who or a group of literal whos reacting to something popular.

I don't get it at all. I understand for the creator its cheap and easy content to make, but it provides no value. This is in contrast to when a professional in their respective field reacts to something. Example: an actual lawyer reacting to court scenes in Better Call Saul. Atleast there's actual value there where someone only privy to a pop culture representation can learn from somebody in the field.

I also can't fathom how people will unironically watch muckbangs (which originally was a part of Korean culture but an in person thing), or listen to ASMR videos.

Another thing that irks me is how devoid of a soul somebody who is an adult that specifically makes content targeted for children. Atleast in the professional world of television, there are standards that are held, and any innuendo is handled with tact or clever word play/visual gags (like Rockos Modern Life) where the adult watching can atleast get a chuckle out of it. Other shows for even younger children also will atleast provide educational content or have a good message (barring some pozzed garbage like nu-Blues Clues and that pride garbage that it caught heat for a while back).

Anyway, I remember my siblings watching some grown ass man play with pop culture puppets and just be loud and obnoxious. I'm sure there was swearing and toilet humor which might be the main draw for kids cus haha funny words. Not that I didn't grow up watching South Park and adult swim when I shouldn't have, but once again this ties back into standards and the shows airing probably being better written than whatever some soulless cretin makes on YouTube. I just couldn't live with myself if I was my current age playing with dolls and my primary audience were kids from 3-12.

Sometimes I scroll down on a page until the sidebar stops loading videos. Then I autistically click "do not recommend" on every single one of them.

The very bottom of the sidebar is always some weird shit, like card game livestreams in Hebrew.

Over the past few years there has been very few youtubers I've ever subscribed to(like 5) because I feel majority of them don't even deserve it
I just like background audio and it's so tiresome clicking on a video and being told to like and subscribe a bunch of times, then followed by whoring out their social media, then a sponsor, then plugging their patreon, and then the video is just basic surface level shit that's censored and not entertaining at all

I miss it when youtube was just full of random people going on camera, ranting about the most random shit with no fucks given, then laughing about it and ending the video and you don't see another upload for 3 weeks, it was a much simpler but funner time
monetization has ruined a lot of hobbies honestly, youtube, art, even modding and fan projects get greedy fucks who sometimes put the entire project at risk for hiding shit they don't own behind paywalls and I cannot wait for the day this entire bubble pops and everyone realizes it's back to the days of drawing cute art as a side hobby you do after work rather than full time

I've seen the strangest things get recommended to me. Like under 100 subs, 2-60 views of random games. The weirdest one the algorithm shown me was somebody playing Pokémon Yellow on a phone, but it was recorded like a DSP video where a second phone was being used to record the gameplay. I skimmed through it, there was no commentary.

then a sponsor

Download sponsor block. It's an add on that other viewers can mark when a sponsor segment in a video starts and ends. Then other users watching will have their videos skip past it. Also agree on the whole subbing thing too. Very few deserve it anymore, and most content is background noise.

Yeah, but I believe you can find some of the "purest" channels this way. People doing what they want and not caring about views and subscribers.

Oh, absolutely. I'd rather give a view to one of these smaller channels doing what they like for fun rather than a video with an exaggerated thumbnail with their stupid fucking face on it. I've subed to a guy whose made like 5000 videos of himself himself drinking water.

Been rocking sponsor block for years, it's just still annoying with the precedent that I even need one in the first place because of how common the shit is
