His jokes just don't land anymore. Can't remember the last time I found one of his videos entertaining. On the contrary, watching his newer content actually makes me feel sad.
Fucking AvE...
I hung on every damn vidjeo
I still watch him how and then, I probably even agree with some of his hot takes, but he's just fucking tonedef heading into the conservative crap.
This was me with Ethan Klein/H3H3 over the past ~14ish months. Their podcast content used to be lighthearted Internet drama with funny soundbytes, but now the dude is having a major crashout about Gaza after rotting his brain with Israeli state
propagandamedia coverage. He's always been an out-of-touch rich asshole, but now he's so far out of pocket it's unbearable to watch.Member Thunderf00t? Had to un-sub after he went full misogyny during gamergate, and I've popped in since it's not gotten any better it's still him doing the same shtick hasn't evolved even a little... Usually about Elon Musk, which sounds like it would be good content, but not when you exposed your biases and don't change anything.
Honestly, James Stephanie Sterling.
I had been following them since The Escapist days, but a few years ago I just couldn't do it anymore. I was only interested in their Jimquisition stuff, and that had gotten really samey week over week.
It felt extra bad because this was after they had already lost like 20% of their subscribers for other reasons. I really hate that I might be lumped in with all those lovely folks when my reasons for leaving were entirely separate.
I still appreciate their message, though. I still think the Digital Homicide saga is one of the more interesting Internet dramas I've been witness to. And I still check in from time to time, mostly for their year-end lists and if something specific has happened in the gaming industry that I want their opinion on.
What I'm trying to say is, thank God for JSS, but only in small doses for me personally.
Another algorithm casualty here, another out of touch rich guy there.
There but for the like and subscribe go I.
"Hey George, like and comment on my videos again."
"Sure, Lenny, I'm gonna write a real nice comment on your latest video right now." *sniffle*
one time i subscribed to someone and a week later they shifted to youtube kids clickbait slop
Northernlion is all audience interaction now.
I found him searching super meat boy when he was about 50 videos into the binding of Issac, I couldn't stand that games themes at the time, but after he posted the hundredth video or so I decided to give it a shot, it was relatively entertaining and very easy to fall asleep to.
Now he just interacts with his audience, and it's really not my jive, still subscribed, but haven't watched a video in probably over a year.
Not Lenny!
This is like every ASMR creator with more than ~10k subs. I'm sorry but "go to my second channel/Patreon/linktree/whatever other shameless self plugging bullshit" for 5 minutes at the beginning of every video doesn't help me fall asleep even if you are whispering it.
Now, I can only imagine a children's book about Of Mice and Men.
Have you heard about PlasmaMasterDon? I used to follow him and like every video... That was shocking!
Caddicarus for me. I love the guy, his new content isn't bad. I don't have time to watch a video that's as long as a feature-length film, wherein so much stuff is covered that nothing gets a spotlight for more than a few minutes.
Mini Ladd moment
Always has been
