    The hot wings first we feast channel

    It’s entertaining but I got tired of the premise

          The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he’s so full of himself. Conan’s was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it’s Conan

            Yeah, but you already knew DJ Khaled’s was going to be stupid and embarrassing before watching because it’s DJ Khaled.

        I get what you’re saying, but the eating and the spiciness of the wings actually contribute to the quality of the interview.

        1. Eating a meal with someone is disarming and contributes to the relaxed, ungaurded nature or his guests.

        2. Consuming spicy food, particularly extremely spicy food or spicy food in great quantity releases endorphins which.

        So while yes the eating/reacting to how hot the sauce is does interrupt the flow of the interview somewhat, it does help him get good/candid answers for his guests.

        So while his research team is outstanding and he’s a talented interviewer in his own right. The hot wings do serve a role in the interview as more than a clickbaity gimmick.

    Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from “hey, I could try making that!” to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the “going round buying folk things” series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.

    Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I’ve watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.

    I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it’s a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.

      I stuck with Babish through his expensive weird era because I still felt like I was learning something about cooking, even if i couldnt make his three day Troy pizza casserole or whatever. I still felt like I was becoming a better cook. Recently he switched up his editing style to less voice over, hands only content and more click baity listacles, and more videos where hes messing around in the kitchen. I liked watching the hands only stuff because I could see what he doing, and there wasnt any emphasis on his face, so there less emphasis on his personality, and therefore I felt a little less intimidated as far as trying it myself. The voice overs were also really concise. The end result was also really light weight, and felt like a recipe that didn’t have all the SEO “my grandma taught me how to make this cake before she died” garbage.

      Alvin is still making videos in the classic “Babish” style on the Babish channel, and I still watch the vids Andrew puts out in that style, but if i can see his face, I wont even click on the video.

    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.

    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.

        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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Tobuscus was goat but then he got accused of something by his ex or whatever, never cared much about it, but he disappeared and now he just writes books or something. He was one of the old school GOATs next to MatPat, Markiplier, ERB. Sadly missed.

    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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

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

      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.

      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.

        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.
