I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and cant sleep
opposite problem
slep 2 erly
I remember when the *angry video nerd* dropped a video calmly explaining that he was not going to watch the new Ghostbusters, then a bunch of people raged at him for doing that. But instead of snapping at people, he just went on with his merry business
yeah, AVGN seems like a coold dude
I still dont really care about most of his stuff, but he seems nice enough
but yeah, theres quite a number of yt channels that got big off of dunking on idiot journos and bluehairs, and some of them are now quite adept at it
and yet there is never any saturation on the market
strangely enough
but as the set of relevant issues changes and groups solidifies, theyre having a hard time keeping up
and some of them have built up enough that they've developed egos, or financial dependencies, and they're losing sight of their principles
ouf
yup
Jim of 2014 would call current Jim a drama whore faggot over a good chunk of the shit he's done, for a low hanging fruit example
I think Sargon of yesteryear would take some of his current day actions to task as well tbh
AVGN is great
Red Letter media is great
ye
RLM is fantastic
Ashens too
nostalgia critic?
jontr- oh wait, he ded
Nostalgia Critic was okay and then got worse over time
and TGWTG is a shitshow of a site lol
Jontron isn't classic
he's from 2010
I guess there's Doctor Randomercam
He's pretty good
you either die a hero or live long enough to see your channel become a meme
Razorfist is from 09
razorfist, fucking love his metal vids
discovered a lot of bands cause of him
DDK is 08 and his channel is slow but it's still good if you're into esports shit
and got me out of my funk with the MJ stuff
and I dont mean like drama or whatever, but competition, self improvement, history etc
Eventstatus is still great when he uploads though he's been busy lately
there you go, 06 channel, a bit slow, but the guy who runs it is still great
I think the market is definitely saturated. I've unsubscribed to a lot of people I used to follow because they would all talk about the same stuff
I remember when that was really common yeah
part of the problem was a shared fanbase
