Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

It's may be more subtle and perhaps the quality is still there (IDK bc I unsubbed ages ago), but Babish. There was an uproar when he got sponsored by Hogwarts Legacy, and he had no response / apology to supporting JK and her anti-trans viewpoints.

If it helps, the game itself is very positive about the whole spectrum of human sexuality and treats everything as completely ordinary and it's all represented (trans included), like the Wizarding world has already come out on the other side and everyone is welcome.

I think JK very purposely tried to tarnish it so that less people would play it, she already got her cut from the licensing, so sales don't matter to her.

The game itself is exactly what we want and what she would hate. The company that made the game is someone we should support, they took the world away from her, fixed it, and gave it back to us.

Not sure if this counts, but I'll nominate Unidan.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People still crowing about Unidan.

Possibly controversial but... Hot Ones.

I prefer the older videos with less/no post production effects. I tried watching the interview with Elijah Wood but the fading video overlapping, music, zoom ins/outs, the voice echoing, and I couldn't deal with these stupid transitions. Closed the video and haven't got back since. The channel has one job and that is to make people eat progressively hot wings but the stupid post production effects ruin the video quality and make the whole interview less engaging. COOL IT SEAN!

Their content is good but how it's presented is garbage.

Hate to say it, but Wintergatan and his Marblemachine X. In the earlier days his videos were an exciting mix of mad genius, cool music improv and crafting. Then he became obsessed with making the machine play tight, precise music to a level that is beyond what anybody in an audience would be able to hear, and it became obvious that the machine would never get finished because he was stuck in an improvement loop.

not a youtuber, but I genuinely enjoyed babylon bee and the daily bonnet for parody news about christian and mennonite culture. the humor was always inward. now its all propaganda

Mark Rober with CrunchLabs. I feel like he's sold himself into a more corporate world and isn't producing the same caliber of content he used to.

Idubbbz. It's fine that he grew out of his edginess, I largely have too, but most of his videos now just feel like he needs to pay the bills and just cranks something out.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Jake Tran. His old videos were pretty cool. He went downhill ever since he tried to convince me that drinking soy milk turns people into femboys and losing sperm cells.

Andrew Callaghan sad to say because I was a huge fan and I guess there's been actual rape allegations come out although he hasn't been charged with anything so who knows. That style of journalism I just love so much and he is so good at it so it's a shame.

I was a big fan of Illuminaughtii/ Blair Zon for a long time. Now she's so controversial, other creators make content on her.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Is it "controversial" to be a plagiarist now? Depending on how it's done, it's edging on a crime or a full blown crime, rather than controversy. I don't really think there's much to make an dispute about.

That said there's certainly a lot drama about her, not that I've looked at any of it. So I am not in the know of anything that's going on, beyond the plagiarism.

Joe Rogan.

Since nobody else is saying it.

To go downhill implies that it was once good.

Smarter Every Day. Used to be just some amateur prettyboy nerd just geeking out and getting behind the scenes on cool stuff. Then it seems like he run out of cool ideas and money got involved. Last episode I watched, he was hocking some obviously awful aquarium game that he was involved with.
