This is like every ASMR creator with more than ~10k subs. I’m sorry but “go to my second channel/Patreon/linktree/whatever other shameless self plugging bullshit” for 5 minutes at the beginning of every video doesn’t help me fall asleep even if you are whispering it.
Yeah, I had to do that with Nux Taku. The guy made funny videos back in the day, but he slowly became a “Anti-woke” conservative mouthpiece. It’s funny because the video that made me unsubscribe was a video of his saying how another youtuber got cancelled for being too woke.
I very rarely manually subscribe or unsubscribe now, it just picks up on what I watch generally.
Resist the algorithms, we must
When subscribing does nothing and changing the bell too.
I have some Youtubers who make a video a month or once a year.
I have to follow them on discord to get the new video because youtube won’t show it to me even though I have selected the highest notifications only for them.
When subscribing does nothing
what? You have a subscribe feed. use it.
Mark Rober is headed this direction for me.
I remember thinking highly of some of his early content. Like this guy could be a decent educator.
Now every time I see him, he just comes across as a walking breathing brand rather than an interesting individual.
This is completely unfounded and I have zero facts to back this up, but he comes off as creepy with kids. It’s just a hunch, but if I had kids, I would not let them near the man.
I guess the votes so far disagree with you, but I could see your icky feelings coming from the same stuff that I perceive with the “walking brand.”
Everything is planned and rehearsed. He reminds the viewer repeatedly how he can be trusted. But it still feels like every word was passed through a committee to make sure nothing bad leaks out.
In my social circles I’m the fun parent that the kids like to play with, and maybe some acquaintances have gotten creepy vibes on occasion, but that’s more a reflection on society at large and how fear and negativity sell news. Nothing that can’t be solved with transparency and consistently just being a decent person.
Member Thunderf00t? Had to un-sub after he went full misogyny during gamergate, and I’ve popped in since it’s not gotten any better it’s still him doing the same shtick hasn’t evolved even a little… Usually about Elon Musk, which sounds like it would be good content, but not when you exposed your biases and don’t change anything.
I was a teenager when he made the turn and started “owning” feminism. I sat there thinking that all his criticisms where not only adressed by femenist writers 40 years ago, but often even integral parts of some strains of femisms, and i had just begun reading entry level stuff on the subject. That’s when i learned what a unintellectual dunkhead he really was.
