stef sanjati. she was the first trans person i saw irl and got me the courage to come out.

i only dont watch cause shes not a youtuber anymore :(

PeterLossGeorgeWall ,

Binging with babish. I am still subscribed but I find myself interested in fewer and fewer videos. The channel started as recreating meals from tv shows and still is that to an extent but naturally he’s run low on things to do. They’ve added other aspects that I just don’t care for like anime with Alvin. I just don’t watch much anime. I also feel like there is just less content.

Another is Joshua Weissman who used to do fermenting videos and curing etc. Now I feel like I just watch him make some bread buns and then he makes a sandwich. He’s made 100 burgers by now. Who cares. I enjoyed some other series he did like “but faster” or “but cheaper” but they always seem to end after a few episodes and he moves onto something else. I feel like I learn stuff from his videos but just when I’m getting a feel for a topic like fermenting he moves on.

When I was doing the cliche sourdough deep dive during the height of covid lockdown, I really enjoyed Joshua Weissman’s videos about it. He was a little silly and very informative.

Everything I’ve seen in the past couple years have been off putting. He tries WAY too hard to be ‘funny’ and it just comes off as smarmy.

Boogie2988. I thought he seemed like a reasonable, unbiased person when I was watching around 2016. Kind of just moved on with my life after realising he was just following YouTube drama.

Have checked him out in the last year or so and it’s not looking good for him. The really sad thing is that he could have just taken his money and lived a chill life, but he seems to want a spotlight and to feel important even if it’s because people are shaming him for being a washed up b list youtuber.

Most recent thing i heard was that hes pushing crypto scams on his fans and feigning ignorance when confronted with the fact that his fans are losing money directly because of him

overload ,

Gross. I heard he lost a hell of a lot of money on crypto and hookers, so that checks out.

Ledivin ,

DrLupo. I watched him a bunch when he was on twitch, but he got kinda arrogant and negative over the years. Now I watch the people he used to play with before he changed 🤷‍♂️

Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube were two big ones. I’d still watch Carlos Maza if he produced anything, but he hasn’t in like two years, so…I’ll include him, too.

Care to share why you stopped watching their channels? Because without context, the only potential reason that comes to mind is that they’re both trans women…

PeepinGoodArgs ,

That’s not exactly wrong, but it’s not the only reason. I’ve never been particularly interested LGBTQ+ issues, and Contrapoints’s transition first was kinda like, “K, I’m glad I’m learning about this stuff, I guess, but I have other interests.” After all, what drew me to both in the first place were their philosophical analyses and how they applied it to social issues. They were important to me for how they showed me how philosophy can be used, as opposed to DarkMatter5555 (I think that’s his name. Also, add him to the list), who I also used to watch, but that dude never grew out of the same stale template of animating god and the angel and regurgitating the most basic atheistic ideas.

So, my purpose in watching them was to learn how to apply principles to reality with a little learning along the way. But when they started focusing in on their transition, I just dropped off.

Contrapoints’ latest video is a very good one you might find interesting. It’s sort of a PhD in video form, very deeply researched. The topic is heterosexuality, framed through the Twilight stories. It’s long and pretty meaty

I get really close to pressing the button for anyone who is talking of anti-corporate speech or pro-privacy then goes into joining their Discord chatroom to slap you in face with hypocrisy.

I watched Linus Tech Tips, and NCIX Tech Tips before that. My wife and I were discussing how the level of information was tanking but the production quality was great, then GN released their video a few weeks after we stored watching LTT and I unsubsidized.

Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen’s, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

hypertext ,

Unfortunately that’s a lot of Youtuber’s. Start out small, do a lot of interesting stuff. Then “go big” with a project

pineapplelover ,

Mrwhosetheboss. Dude seems like he sniffs a line before every video. I’ll probably need to watch one of his videos right now to explain more reasons but it’s just not something I would like to watch now.

forgotmylastusername ,

I watched RocketBoom until suddenly they ran out of money. I don’t know what happened but it seemed like they were on the up and up. They even did videos with Sesame Street. If that isn’t a solid endorsement…

Then one day it was announced it was over.

Man I haven’t heard the name RocketBoom in so long. Wonder what ever happened to MeMe Molly?

Symphonic ,

Most of the ones I left are already up there. The two I’ll add are - Donut - it wasn’t the same after they got bought. I’m rooting for BigTime! Mental Floss, SciShow- Its been so long, I don’t even remember why I watched it in the first place.

TheModernRogue about the time Jason left. Just lost its charm.

Jason left the Modem Rogue??

The Modern Rogue certainly had a heyday. Past tense.

Crazy-Russian-Hacker was one of the first ones I saw. I remember one of the first things I searched on YouTube or the internet was "science experiments" and he had some pretty interesting ones back then. Later though he went on doing product and MRE reviews then I stopped watching him after a while.

Good Mythical Morning

At some point they got so popular that I just felt like they sold out. I felt like I was just watching 1 giant ad with all of their videos trying to get me to buy something. Also, some of their rants that they started going on got annoying. Seemed like at some point they lost the chemistry that they had together. I just enjoyed watching their banter and them doing goofy stuff.

nomous ,

Huge agree about pushing their merch! They’re shameless. I used to watch every day for years but stopped a long time ago; when every episode became a food episode. Their podcast (Ear Biscuits) is a bit better, it’s more them talking about things long form, just being 40+ year old fairly normal (if not very successful) guys. They’ve talked about quitting GMM, I think once their various kids are done with school they’ll pack it up (the main show at least). They both have other passions but it’s really difficult to stop when you’ve built a successful, working media company with your childhood best friend, even if they’re both ready to retire.

They actually bought Smosh and brought Ian and Anthony back, and then sold Smosh back to them a few years later. That was a really cool move to me and and got them a HUGE pass in my book, they’re stand-up guys.

Full disclosure: despite not watching much of their video content anymore I still went and saw them on their most recent tour (about a month ago, it was a gift) and had a great time. They did some of their games but modified them to be specific to my state, did a food ranking with some local-foods, and of course had a couple musical numbers.
