Game Grumps, because
Nah, nevermind. Those guys are awesome.
i dropped Mark Roper when he said he loves his Tesla and plans on buying another. I just can’t deal with Nazi fanboys.
Renaissance Periodation. He kept suggesting to his viewers that we should check his facts against Chatgpt. His sex jokes got boring and repetitive.
Mostly, i drop a youtuber when i get bored with their content.
Mark does rub me the wrong way. He’s just a very positive guy and clearly cares about being a good guy. But is way too buddy buddy with the big man.
I get creeper vibes from him, always have. Something about the way he behaves around kids, as a dude who has gotta be in his 40s-50s at this point… Yeah it’s weird.
Mark Rober: I don’t want my views converted to money that goes to the Mormon cult.

Shadiversity. Guy made some really interesting videos breaking down different kinds of historical melee weapons, showing how, when, and why they were used. Genuinely interesting content until he started randomly spewing right wing nonsense a few years ago.
Shadiversity was a sword youtuber who would get into occasional e-drama, but still produced interesting content about medieval weaponry. Over time they started releasing pro-AI and culture war rants completely unrelated to their sword stuff. They had another channel that was more streamer/podcasty where they pandered to a right-wing crowd which I guess leaked over into their main channel.
Veritasium. Sold out to private equity.
His contents are still miles better than some other YouTubers that were bought out. While I’m not pleased with the direction he took, I do not have any qualms with the quality or the content or the depth of topics.
Same here, I’d use it as an example of how to do that right.
CinemaSins - it just became cringe
Good Mythical Morning - too ‘producrd’ and they started doing gross shit
Mysterious Universe (YouTube and podcast) - They became rightwing antivax, anti-abortion, anti-mask, homophobic, transphobic, racist losers over the course of 2 years after COVID.
May I recommend CinemaWins? They focus on more positive aspects of the movies and they don’t rely on overused jokes for half their content.
CinemaSins is outright garbage, though it takes watching some EPs on movies you actually know to see that. Most people hate-watch EPs about movies they’d never watch, so the formula works I guess.
CinemaWins gets that watch time now.
