Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17

    In this thread I see broadly two types of complaints:

    • Videos have degraded in presentation or production in some way.
    • Person said something I disagree with so I don’t like them anymore.

    Both fine, but I think the latter is just a bummer and really reflects a much deeper problem of the times in which we live.

      I think an implosion is more than that.

      It’s not the expression of opinion that sinks a channel, but a pivot from topic-focused to issue-focused. AvE didn’t go downhill for getting frustrated about the pandemic, he fundamentally changed the focus of his channel.

      It’s one of the things I appreciate about the better firearms channels. I know they’re probably unpalatably conservative (to my taste), but by largely sticking to a topic (rather than the multitude of issues that are doubtless important to them), they manage to reach a wider audience.
