LTT and their other channels. I only watch because of Emily/Anthony. Now that she’s not active in videos anymore, I just lost interest and realised that Linus and those two hosts of Techquickie annoys the hell out of me.

Deepus ,

Anthony was great and so full of super geeky information, hopefully Emily will make an appearance at some point but i fully understand if she doesn’t. Internet can be a ruthless place.

lobut ,

I actually still like some LTT videos. I just find the thumbnails off-putting … so unless the topic interests me I don’t typically watch anymore.

I really enjoyed the Emily/Anthony bits too.

catastrophicblues ,

I just use DeArrow so I don’t know what the original thumbnails are. Thank God.

don ,

+1 for DeArrow, sometimes I reveal the original just to see how atrocious the channel will be with clickbait thumbnails.

Nithanim ,

Every time I open YT on my tablet I am extremely confused what the shit titles and thumbnails are. DeArrow is one heck of an essential extension.

Anthony was great, always loved how in depth they were on whatever tech they were talking about.

I like Jake’s videos on networking too. I love how nonchalant he is when it comes to certain things that would just never fly where I work. Makes for good entertainment.

Other than them, I like tech linked and game linked to stay up to date on tech and game news.

weeeeum ,

Yeah, tech quickie is full of great info but they are just trying wayyyyy too hard to be fun and quirky.

I always found the fact that he thinks Nebula is not a viable business and only exists to sell out and get a big payoff says a lot about Linus and his way of thinking.

i still enjoy some of them every once in a while, for entertainment value and the crazy stuff they do.

but that whole overworking and treating his workers like shit debacle turned me off the channel by quite a lot.

theshatterstone54 ,

Wait, Anthony is Emily now? I guess I missed that one. Anyways, everyone seems to talk about them in the past tense which is concerning. Are they no longer doing videos?

Nithanim ,

She has a video on YT on her own channel about that. Pretty sure the problem is the… negativity against her. She appeared in one or two LTT videos for a brief moment though. And there is at least one video by her on floatplane. But I am not following anything actively so that is the only info I have.

I fell off LTT once I fell into his massive pile of rich people problems videos. Like, there was one where he was complaining because his WiFi didn’t reach to the gate of his mansion.

They all either:

Got cancelled

Pandered to a younger audience of which I am not.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They’ve also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

OhmsLawn ,

Especially this week.

Aurenkin ,

Same here, friend. Still hits me every now and then when I see a Steam game with a recommendation from his curator page. Doesn’t happen too often these days, but still the occasional older game I haven’t picked up yet goes on sale.

A big loss. I’m still wondering what happened to his family since then. I heard they got out of the USA?

Jourei ,

I’ve understood the dogs got new owners, Genna moved to South Korea.

What about the kid?

Jourei ,

I can’t remember hearing anything about him, I also couldn’t find anything with a quick search yesterday.

Guy was a legend, I bought Terraria because of him. His voice and style was amazing. Rest in piece!

CybranM ,

This one hits hard. “Gaming YouTube” isn’t the same without him, I don’t watch many gaming videos nowadays

I’ll never forget him for introducing me to dungeons of dredmor, the game is the bad roguelike, but I don’t know if I ever would have gotten into roguelikes without it

Quetzalcutlass ,

I’ve never heard anyone else mention Dungeons of Dredmor! That’s the game that taught me how much I loathe total randomness in roguelikes. Without it I wouldn’t have discovered Dwarf Fortress, Cataclysm, and a host of others where your skill actually matters, so even though I hated DoD I’m glad I picked it up after TB’s video.

(And the artist of Dredmor later ended up on the development team of my literal favorite game ever, Starsector. Weird how things turn out.)

Viscount Strophanthus. My first androgynous crush. In hindsight the content was pretty edgey and cringe, though.

overload ,

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.

CybranM ,

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.

GuyFi ,

Upisnotjump. It’s just not my thing anymore

OttoVonNoob ,

MatthiasGaming: I felt like when he got bigger his personality changed, it almost became like a show/fake persona.

Arumba: Became a cranky unhappy person unfortunately…

A fewl (I don’t want to give a platform): Became angry biggots:X

Jesse Cox/Pewdie Pie/Markiplier: outgrew the sense of humor/entertainment.

TLDR: Usually some change in personality alienated me.

GnuLinuxDude ,
@GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

In terms of the gaming ones you listed I only watched markiplier. Specifically the FNAF stuff. That was a lot of fun almost 10 years ago when it was novel and new. But now the genre is so played out and the whole “scariest game scream at the camera” thing, while maybe based on something genuine then, became obviously forced and annoying after not that long.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

All of them.

Hyperbolic but there is some truth there
