Slopes Games Room has been rubbing me up the wrong way recently, that I gave up on his videos He does those “History of” game videos. And I might be unfairly comparing him to the great “Gaming Historian”. But Slopes history video to me just sounds like like he just reading stuff off of Wikipedia and/or the back of the game box when he does his, while GH obviously takes a lot of time on his videos and very well researched. I think the final straw with Mr Slopes he did a video and which he stopped every few minutes to shill a Kool-Aid like product. It was Atari branded fruit drink mix. For me, it was when he decided to drink the Amico koolaid and "interview" Tommy Tallarico for 4 hours despite the fact at the time, there was enough evidence proving that Amico was a scam but yet Slopes decided to make an ass of himself anyways. At least with that he did a massive Kickscammers episode on it which at least part of it was apologizing. |

ContraPoints when she made that swipe that "her ex copied her entire career and now has more subscribers" Hey Natalie, try putting out more than one video a year then your channel might actually do as well as Abigail's. Wait Natalie and Abigail were dating? |

For me, I unsubbed a while ago, but if I hadn't done it by then, her mocking a video of a trans gal and then brushing it off as her "internalized transmisogyny" would have done it, because, no, Natalie, you externalized it against someone else for not being able to pass as good as you. That's pretty shitty. |

Had someone unsub to my main channel. Got told "It isn't kid friendly."
Really it is named Asshat Podcast and you have known me since we were 8. Have I ever been kid friendly? I can barely say 2 sentences without dropping 4 f bombs.
I usually once every 6 months go thru my subs and prune a few.
Mostly ends up being channels that got deleted and I still got a sub. Or ones where they privated or unlisted most od their vids.

I didn't have a problem with Slopes. He has some good insight, but there are some things about him that rub me the wrong way. Plus, I got a little sick of his, "Well, we might be getting a little ahead of ourselves" bit after that became his trademark. However, I think what got me to question why I was subbed to him was in his "History of Final Fight" video when he said that Andore was not based on Andre the Giant but rather a friend of the creator. I could see that he read that somewhere because the creator wants to avoid a lawsuit, but every fan knows that that character was based off of Andre the Giant. It's too damn obvious. |

Wait Natalie and Abigail were dating? It had been suspected for years for various reasons due to certain things lining up (eg Both talking about starting a long distance relationship with someone around the same time, then having a breakup around the same time, Abi having both "three exs who turned out to be lesbians and you still didn't figure it out" and an ex that liked Gucci... you get the idea. If it wasn't confirmed by Natalie's spiteful tweet last month, it was definitely confirmed by all of Abi's cohosts on the podcast network calling Natalie out for it. |

Has anyone watched any YouTube videos by MrBallen?
He’s at least in part a true crime YouTuber. The reason I say in part is because the last video I watched of his seemed to be entirely fictional. I looked it up on his subreddit and the impression I got from the posts was that he sometimes does this though does not label such videos as fictional. I had to nope out and unsubscribe after reading that.
I don’t mind fictional horror stories even when the author blurs the line over what is fictional and what is real. Like another YouTuber I follow Mr. Nightmare has some compilation videos that blend real cases sprinkled in with some other stories, some of which sound like straight bullshit. Honestly that’s not my favorite thing either, but the presentation comes off like listening to campfire tales so I’m inherently skeptical about taking it all as truth.
But laying out a whole made up story just like you have in other videos about cases that 100% happened and leaving it up to me find out only with a simple Google search after the fact that it was all bullshit. Well that pissed me right off and I wouldn’t be surprised if that kind of presentation has turned others off.

Just remembered one.
Remember the guy that did those “I’m A Marvel, and I’m a DC”, which where parodies of those old Apple ads using comic book character action figures.
They were funny most times, and then the guy started doing on going story arcs with the figures which were yeah OK, entertaining way to kill a few minutes…. Then something happened, the videos started to get longer, less funny and more serious.. Like he wanted to do these deep moving stories.They stopped being fun, and it looked like the guy was quickly and I'm using a known term here “disappearing up his own ass”
Look I don't want to judge how anyone makes their content, but it was such a tonal shift that I unsubbed and never returned. God, that must have been a decade ago now.

youtube's current programming where you watch a video or two of a channel and it floods you with that channel's entire video history.

My latest pet peeve: videos narrated by people who affect a tone of voice usually reserved for situations when you've discovered a secret about somebody you don't like and you're doing a terrible job of trying to act like you don't know when you talk to them.
The narrator of this channel, for example, always sounds like he's supressing a smile:
Which is a shame, because the content is generally pretty great.

I watched ONE clip of Big Bang Theory to see what it was like (absolute shit) and then the algorithm decided "he must want Big Bang Theory content" and flooded my feed with it. |

My feed is an absolute mess after my son has had control of my Xbox for a couple of hours. Even after clearing my search and watch histories I still get Minecraft streamers recommended to me for the rest of the week. |

I have to be intentionally vague here due to board rules, but also this only applied to certain kinds of beliefs. Like if you want to get both sides of an issue and see a quote in context of something or someone you otherwise are strongly against, YouTube goes, “He looked this up once? He must have changed his mind and now LOVES this stuff. Let’s show him EVERYTHING about that and NOTHING else!” |

I stopped following Beatemups because he started to come across as obnoxious and i got a little annoyed at his "shocked Youtuber face" thumbnail. He also had the habit of doing clickbaity titles and then try to justify that you know it's clickbait. After a while it got a bit old.

I gave up on Angry Joe when his review of Last of Us 2 was just him wingeing like a toddler about how he only wanted to play Joel.

He still doing his "im not asking the fans to buy me this" videos? Since he first showed up in a game chasers Wood just rubbed me the wrong way. |

I unsubscribed to dave knows wrestling when I went to a live stream he did and saw how much an a-hole he is. Very condescending and letting you know how he knows more than you. And the icing on the crap cake was him ranting about the Me Too movement. I completely ignore his videos. Makes me glad he isn't as high up there in views compared to Bryan Zane.

I started following him because i enjoyed his "Me and my girlfriend buy each other weird Switch accessories" videos. He also threw a huff because he did some Switch mod videos and Nintendo pulled him from the partner program. Then he also did one of those clickbaity videos with the title "We're burnt out..." or something and was back posting videos within a week. Stuff like that is just really offputting. |
