Jimmy Diresta. I’m a huge fan of makers, and the maker movement in general, and there was a time I just couldn’t wait for Jimmy’s next video.

Lately, I’ve come to feel that he no longer lets his work speak for itself. His videos used to just be really well made time lapses of him making a thing. But, for the past couple of years now, he feels the need to narrate just about everything. And there’s the faintest whiff of semi-arrogant self promotion about it, which just puts me off every time.

Don’t get me wrong. Talking through the making process is 100% OK with me. I watch plenty of makers that talk through their videos (Pask Makes, Wesley Treat, etc) but something has changed in Jimmy’s style, and I just don’t like him any more.

Shame. Arguably, Jimmy is the one that (re)ignited the movement’s popularity on the internet, but it just kinda feels he’s let it go to his head somehow.

BruceTwarzen ,

I don’t know. I found him always the worst of this kind of makers. His work wasn’t very professional, he was kinda… Well himself, the end result was pretty meh and he had his own name plastered everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, i think he’s a smart guy, he had a high production level and knew that shoving up his name down everyone’s throat will yield him results. He even has a very shitty netflix show

Pizzafohra ,

Total Biscuit, the cynical brit. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Didn’t ever watch his videos but ran into him at a local event where a game dev had invited 60 or so of us to play their game early. I remember him watching over my shoulder (there were only enough PCs for half of us to play at a time) as I went to play the game in my favorite way to play games: incorrectly. Flew a transport vtol and was using it to “boop” enemy vtol fighters half my size into the ground where they’d explode. We would both get a kick out of it every time I managed to pull it off. He was a fun guy to be around, I get why so many miss him.

Thanks for sharing this

Jourei ,

I was wondering if I would see this name here. It has been a while. Honorary mentions, I used to also watch Jesse Cox and Dodger/Dexbonus.

Both Mr. Beast and Mark Rober. They got too loud and shrill over time.

Edit: Oh and Guga Food / Sousvide Everything. They just do the same thing all over, with weirder ingredients every day, and then make shocked pickachu faces when stuff tastes shit. Ribeye dry aged for 180 days in engine oil? No shit it’s bad.

StThicket ,

Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They’re also loud and obnoxious, so I’ve stopped watching them.

I’ve actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.

Mark Rober is a massive fraud. Recently he started selling out to the military industrial complex too.

BruceTwarzen ,

He always seemed nice, but all he really cares is squeezing as much money out of everything.

LowtierComputer ,

The mistakes in that stupid weather balloon video closed that door for me. What a pretentious greedy weirdo.

Squizzy ,

I watched an Irish tech reviewer because I wanted to support local, he was decent and would have relevant info regarding pricing and release windows.

Noticed he was getting abit whiny and doing some oddly focusef videos but I made no conscious decision to stop wtching.

Remembered him a few years ago and he is gone fucking nuts with this mad US centric Trump conservative nonsense. It is honestly nearly laughable only for it is so aggressively hateful.

Community Channel…

pyre ,

:(

TassieTosser ,

James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid “ad spots” in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren’t real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.

Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.

graymess ,

I don’t even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn’t goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don’t care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.

BruceTwarzen ,

Do moat people who watch her these days do so because they also watched jimquisition? I always wondered that, because to me it’s the other way around. I always saw his thumbnails but never the video. Now i listen to the podcast and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of podcasters and youtuber said that they will get “hate” for something they put out, and by “hate” they mean some 12 year olds that disagree and beed attention. I kinda accidentally went to her homepage and saw the starfield review and people in the comments were absolutely nasty. While i don’t agree with that at all, i can see gow she’s pushing buttons. Like ahe absolutely hated palworld. She hated it before she even played it, and all i could hear is that she’s such a pokemon fangirl that she couldn’t comprehend that people like that more than ger beloved pokemon and said all that palworld did was made her want to play “insert the worst pokemon game”. Same with helldivers. She wrote a review of the game in the time she was waiting in queue on launch day. She couldn’t play, so there is no review. I think that’s kinda fair in a way, but i’m pretty sure if it wasn’t helldivers 2 but something that she really liked or really wanted to like she would still waiting right now. So i’m not sure if she’s actually farming hate for engagement or what the deal is.

Evotech ,

That’s always been her shtick though, to hate on things. Go on long rants.

Watched a lot of Binging With Babish and just got tired of his schtick I think. Same with the How To Drink guy.

Wootz ,

To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

Yeah sometimes things just have a natural shelf life.

sneekee_snek_17 ,

Dr. Disrespect, there was a couple year period where the insane, over-the-top masculinity shtick was entertaining to me. Eventually I drifted away from the games that brought me to him in the first place.

Very recently, news broke that he had sexually explicit conversations with a minor on twitch.

RabbitMix ,

Thinking about it now, it’s been a long time since I saw a Goldvision video. I loved that guy and his calming contemplative gameplay, I was even on board when he decided to just never kill anyone or any npc in a video game ever again (but still play stuff like multiplayer shooters and GTA Online).

I miss his stuff, gonna go see if I’ve been missing out

Evotech ,

He kinda stopped making the content he started off with which was a shame. Loved his planetside stuff

JSens1998 ,

CoryXKenshin because he stopped uploading.

dafo ,

Sorted Food. Once they started with the Pass It On format they really declined. Now all their videos are pass it on sand Chef Reviews Gadets and no more actual cooking videos, especially not recipe videos.

biscuitswalrus ,

Day9. Though I just rewatched a funday Monday from episode 200 or 300 and it was just as amazing and fun as it was back over a decade ago.

I watched newer stuff he still seems to be a great guy.

pyre ,

I’ve never watched day9 regularly but whenever I do it’s a joy. he seems to be a great guy indeed, and afaik never has been in any kind of YouTuber/streamer drama or anything.

ignism ,

Love Day9, have been following him since the dailies, with Monday as highlight of the week. Stuck around for Mostly Walking, which he still does. Also, at least once a year I rewatch the three VODs of Day9 teaching itmeJP The Build, The Pause, and voidrays… gets me everytime.

Nithanim ,

Ethoslab. Pretty sure he still does quality content (probably) but I just can’t watch minecraft content anymore. Also, I don’t even have the time to watch/play everything what I really do want.

tiramichu , (edited )

His content is really good. A lot of his audience is still people from the old days who basically grew up watching ethoslab, and his style as a creator has changed a little too as he’s grown up with them.

He’s definitely still a youtuber whose uploads I look out for. Very comfortable content that makes me feel super chill.

Matriks404 ,

Yogscast.

It just gone downhill after Jaffa Factory Minecraft series.

Evotech ,

You probably just got older.

But to be fair after the whole sjin incident it was not the same

mub ,

Their recent Minecraft stuff has been quite fun. I miss the yogslabs stuff.

Wootz ,

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

…and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

nathan ,

Yeah I noticed the same thing and I also don’t watch that channel for the same reason. I used to watch every video! Then he started saying weirder and weirder shit haha

mindbleach ,

Some people get addicted to being right all the time.
