Veritasium has really gone down hill. I honestly think it started when he did the video on “clickbait” and actually realized how much more lucrative it was to make shittier clickbaity content than make straightforward science content.

It went from “here’s why magnetism is just electric field + relativity” to “I buried myself in cement - you won’t believe what happens!”

I know this can be true, but a more predatory trend is Youtubers quitting because these vicious incentives are difficult to navigate compared to Twitch, Patreon, or a regular old career.

Or they made good edited youtube videos and then they starting chasing the streaming trend like Critikal and other youtubers I used to watch. Sorry I want to watch a single 10-30 min video once or twice a week and not hours of unscripted rambling. The only person I can watch do that is Nothernlion but even then I don't watch most of his content anyway.

I love how Dunkey had a week where he did this sarcastically -- and they still ended up being some of his most popular videos. Thankfully he's stayed himself though and not abandoned what he does best.

Jerma985 was my most favoritest TF2 youtuber, and now look him, a big streamer with wide meme reach. I remember the first Jerma Rumbles, the pinnacle of simulated wrestling and the first inklings of his creative genius. I don't watch streams and I don't watch VODs, but I'm just happy he's shooting for the stars.

Idk if this comment is a joke or not but i have to say you're really missing out. Jerma's new content has really grown so well and I'd say he's one of the few who did shift but ultimately its only grown in quality.

Same here, I stopped watching Jerma after he stopped posting TF2 content, but I'm glad he's made it and is still doing a bunch of cool stuff.
