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.

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.

ramble81 ,

Ray William Johnson on =3. I don’t know why I stopped watching. At some point it felt “too” polished and started getting ads in it.

saigot ,

Kurzgesagt went hugely downhill, I’ll still watch the occasional video from them, but most of what they do now is super speculative tenuous science with 5 min of sponsored content.

I remember way back in the day I enjoyed laci green for her sex ed content, but she just suddenly went super right wing.

hexabs ,

Although I agree Kurzgesagt has gone downhill, I feel like they’ve still beaten the average youtuber lifecycle.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling ,

I remember back in high school I watched Sexplanations a lot. Introduced me to a lot of concepts I’ve been using to this day. I think I stopped watching her because I outgrew her channel.

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

half_built_pyramids ,

Direwolf20, he was mean to the kid

drbluefall ,

I’m OOTL; what happened with Direwolf20?

half_built_pyramids ,

Forget the younger guy’s name. Erno? Anyway, I didn’t know if anything actually bad happened, just normal meanness on camera played off as humor.

Maybe I’m going too old school here but the first 2 that came to mind were CommunityChannel and Phillip Defranco

GrayBackgroundMusic ,

I love Philly d, I like him better than traditional news channels, but watching just made me depressed.

Squizzy ,

Still with Phil, my god it has been so long. I was there for the lost mountain dew video. My interest goes up and down, he can go through periods of very celeb focused or very america focused which can be boring but overall I like him and what he creates.

He needs to stop with the “news studio” shit and commit to something, let it grow and see where it ends up. I have lost like totally awesome, sourcefed and now rogue rocket.

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.

jol ,

Community Channel…

pyre ,

:(

Nomecks ,

Hoovie’s garage and Tavarish. Both had good channels fixing cars and then they went off the broken supercar deep end, then wound up with the Car Stories channel and decided to rip off the Top Gear format of doing stupid, obviously scripted adventures.

Nobody gives a crap about fixing a completely unattainable car or re-living the demise of Top Gear.

hear hear

AceFuzzLord ,

Pretty sure a lot of people could relate, but watching a variety of various game players who years later you lose interest in (mostly because of how cringe they are) or in my case at some point somehow find out some terrible news about them despite avoiding all the real world drama.

People like Bijuu Mike, Gloom, Logdotzip, etcetera.

Can’t find another example I wanted to use since I couldn’t remember the account name nor does it matter since I’m pretty sure it was found out he was a horrible person.

Also it’s pretty interesting to see some people you’re following on yt who you don’t remember why you subbed to because there are definitely both active and dead channels I’m currently subbed to that I forgot even existed.

theshatterstone54 ,

What’s the logdotzip drama? I’ve been trying to find out just now and there doesn’t seem to be any.

AceFuzzLord ,

He’s just one I stopped watching put of boredom and disinterest in his content. I don’t know if there’s any drama with him specifically.

theshatterstone54 ,

Oh, alright. Similar story here. I watched him when I was younger, but his content is just focused on a younger audience I no longer seem to fit in.

Twenty Sided / Shamus Young 😢

Quetzalcutlass ,

I followed Shamus Young’s blog in 2007, and kept following him long after I dropped every other blogger. I didn’t always agree with him (cough Dark Souls cough), but his reviews were the best and most in-depth in the business (seriously, his Mass Effect retrospective covers the entire trilogy and is longer than most novels). He had a way with words where even when he was arguing for/against something you hate/love, you’d still be entertained by the read.

His death left a void in my consumption of media criticism. I don’t think anyone I follow is as articulate or entertaining as Shamus was. RIP Shamus.

Classy ,

FLuffee Talks. (Hey… What’s up?)

No particular reason. FLuffee is a major old schooler that’s been pumping out content since the earliest days of YouTube who specializes in pop news and shock-jock content. I used to devour his content when I was like 11-15, and I think I just got overexposed and lost taste for it.

I’ve gone back occasionally over the years and he’s still at it. If his content style works and he can maintain it even some 16-18 years later, I say more power to him.
