I don’t personally get the appeal of many gaming YouTubers. I’m not personally very into watching other people play videos (not review, but just play). I can kinda understand some people wanting to watch that, but it always surprises me just how many people watch it and for how long.
It also seems all too common that they have very questionable views and their fans will defend them to the death. I don’t get that either. There’s some YouTuber creators I really enjoy, but if they said horrible things, I sure as hell aren’t going to defend them at all, let alone to the degree that some gaming YouTubers get ardently defended.
I watch a lot of gaming YouTubers and very rarely play games, I find the content really enjoyable as background while I’m coding or doing something on the computer. They’re great because it’s interesting enough to keep my brain active but also it doesn’t matter if I miss a bit because I’m focusing.
I don’t watch the kind that say questionable things tho
It’s actually amazing how creative and funny a lot of them are.
Veritasium. As soon as he put out a video with sponsored content where he lied with science I immediately knew he could no longer be trusted. I completely stopped watching his videos that day.
I kinda slowed down on his videos since that Tom Nicolas video, but I watched his video from a few days ago about blimps because blimps are cool. But it just seemed like a corporate ad. The amount of the video that’s renders of products vs actual products is pretty bad.
It didn’t feel like a science video about blimps, it felt like half blimp startup ad, half simple blimp explanation. I don’t know, it just felt a little devoid of depth.
I would really like a channel that covers start-ups well, like explaining their idea and what they hope to accomplish then going into some of the challenges they face.
Far too many seem to be nothing but reading the press release and the first couple of paragraphs of Wikipedia.
