Genesis 1:26
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
My stance on youtubers is almost the same as the site. Though there are youtubers that I like. There is some trash on the site. This is an opinion of internet personas that I Hate, Love, or just know about.
I'll start off with one of my favorites. Wiiviewr was someone I watched back when the wii was the prime target of shovel ware. He'd go through any title he got his hands on. I could be complete garbage or an absolute gem. A good number of wii games I found were because of him. He died a little during the Wii U (He got so fed up with the eshop he started reviewing PC and PS4 games) But the switch seems to getting much more attention. His formula is very basic, I don't think he has changed much over the past 10 years. He just rants and cuts to the interesting bits. Sometimes his kids show up. Other times...well let's just say he is a lonely old man. Reviews are posted roughly every week. With a list of the worst/best games he has reviewed at the end of each year. If you want to see what a youtuber from 2008 is like in 2020 then check him out.
in 2016 I didn't care about this guy. I didn't care if his fans were posting hisss on somebody else's channel. The channels I watched back then were smaller reviewers and countdown creators. Now in 2020 with my taste being more in politics. YES I LIKE HIM! (I'M SURE THE FEELING IS MUTUAL THOUGH!) Leafy is the most infamous youtuber on the site. He started out making minecraft videos. (HAHAHAHA!) Then moved on to upcoming genre commentary channels. A hybrid of poltics, and drama. While he did not start this (HEY REVIEWTECHUSA!) he was able to push it to new heights. By baiting, and mocking other channels. I caught wind of him when he got keem involved. Though I didn't care for anyone in the community at this point. I would watch H3H3 with jontron. It was mostly a friend of mine that would talk about leafy. Then something with an unboxer named Idubbz or something happen and he fell off the face of youtube. 2018 is where he stopped making videos for a spell. I listen to metokur and the killstream community more and more. EMPLEMON dropped a video called leafywashere. It was an interesting video It talk positively about a troll. Very odd.....So I watch some of his old content. I had a laugh, but nothing that kept me retained. Then Idubbz got SIMPED, and revived leafy. Now I check in every once and a while to hear him dis H3H3.
One of the best reviewers to take a complete nose dive. In the beginning the completionist lived up to his name. He completed a game 100% and rated on a scale of destroy to complete it. The excution was great as well first the story, then presentation, gameplay, last level(Spoiler tag), completing the game, and wrapping up with the conclusion. A style I found so through I used in my own reviews. Then 3 major changes witch put me off. One was something that wasn't in his control, greg or bear guy as I would call him. Was this annoying dude trying to ruin "beardman"'s reviews. It lead to some entertaining skits, but this friendship faded. While the fallout wasn't a deal breaker for me as the next season kept me watching. Completionist decide to do feels trip, He eliminated the episode counter from his videos, so I couldn't tell what episode to watch in order, and his excution went to this werid roadmap thing? It wasn't interesting and felt aimless. So I didn't feel compelled to watch his videos every week. Plus this weird Hastag buff boys happened, and it was gay. Then the straw that broke the camel's back. The completionist was part of a group called "Normal Boots". This had 4 other channels that I watched Peanut Butter Gamer, Did You Know Gaming, Projared, and the big one JonTron. Who in the world could possibly tear this appart. Donald J. Trump. No I am not kidding, politics got so heated that Jontron spoke his opion on the border wall. No one else in Normal Boots agreed to this opinion. They kicked him out. PBG ,DYKG, and the completionist were already fading in my eyes. When this happened I could not care less for their content. I still watch Projared (For awhile), but the split left me in a state of "Do I really want to watch these guys?" I try to go back to watch the completionist, but he lost his old glimmer.
Antdude is another dude with reviews. That I lost interest in, not because of any drama or major changes, just shifting interest. I first found this guy by CJSzero01, antdude was the smaller of the two channels. (BOY HOW THAT HAS CHANGED!) Infact if you want to know how antdude spiked in his viewership it was because of CJ, and an apperance on SomeCallmeJohnny. I started watching this guy a lot when he showed his love for the kirby franchise. You can tell the passion he has for the pink puff. Anything with kirby in it, Antdude is definately the first channel i'd recommend for reviews. HE EVEN REVIEWED THE ANIME!
I found Jim by a collab with Gurularry. I then proceeded to watch his internet insanity videos, LOVE The Terry one, and made my favorites tab.
This guy is proof that if you want to get attention you first must make yourself known in a community. Haedox would comment on a lot of different video game channels, Like Runawayguys, and PBG. That's how I found him. Haedox was monotoned and a bit sarcastic at points in his reviews. But this small gem of a channel put out really good reviews for what it was. Then drama happened, and... I could not care. I figured I'd mention him just because of the way he gained subs was noble. He didn't say "Watch my vids." He'd just make funny comments relating to videos he watched.
