 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWsImdakuGc Rest in peace, Rory, the greatest youtuber and LF mod ever. Youtube's community is garbage, and it's Youtube's fault. In the early days, nobody knew what Youtube was, and you ended up with a bunch of idiots talking about their day and being bland. It was really embarassing. Also, some kid got his own Nickelodeon show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXiIQlcIo4 Jokes! Editing! Youtube is the future of entertainment! When monetization was introduced, it was pretty simple.... More views = more money. More subscribers = more money. But then things changed, and to get a decent CPM you would have to upload videos with some regularity. You couldn't upload a video of your dog biting your balls or an actual creative thing you put real work into and maybe make a few thousand bucks if it went viral anymore. You couldn't smoke some salvia and take your car for a spin and make a nice little career for yourself. You had to do things differently, and being creative became bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDQfe-vrAUw This man is sadly not a millionaire, anymore The Genres Youtubers discovered two things at this time: 1) Playing video games is easy to do for a long time 2) If you are remotely interesting or capable of making GBS threads out a full sentence, you could become internet famous 3) If talking while playing video games is hard, you can also talk while opening boxes or watching TV 4) You could also make a living eating garbage 5) Mostly, people ate actual garbage Let's Play Videos Watching people play videos games is a genre? Oh, ok, that's cool I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2jBG1sCcsU This person makes a decent living making goku statues in minecraft nowadays, thanks to Youtube. Reaction videos: People really like feeling like they have real-life friends, so if you sit through a 30 second car ad, you can have the privilege of watching movie trailers, pro wrestling, and other youtube videos with the company of a youtuber. Sometimes, children react to weird things like casette players, or old people react to video games. Reaction videos take a lot of talent, but personally, I would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhoea dump in my ear than watch them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwvGP9EkBzM&t=103s This man is a talented artist, and reactions are his medium Unboxing videos: Have you ever wondered what it's like to buy things? Coming to you live through the power of the internet, people open the things they buy and show you what cords they have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEZOrZrROnY Let's cyberbully this preteen Eating garbage: Watching friends eat hot peppers is fun. If you don't have friends, you can watch a middle aged man with children of his own drink a bottle of glue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnvCbOF6zXM&t=171s Jesus wept That brings us to today: People poo poo out videos on a daily basis regardless of quality. Once you have a few thousand followers, you don't have to worry about quality. A generation of America's children are now growing up watching slightly older children sitting in their bedrooms yelling at their computers about how much they hate eachother. Youtube, it seems, is trash. Here's a couple of examples of the biggest youtubers around nowadays: Leafyishere is a 20 year old with no chin who uses buzzfeed jokes from half a decade ago to "roast" other youtubers, mostly little kids who are either too young for self-awareness. He also sometimes outsmarts the mentally retarded. Keemstar is a 35 year old who calls people niggers as a joke and monitors youtube "drama". He has been banned from youtube, twitch, and twitter multiple times for scamming people and harassment, so he made a company, set up a youtube page for that company, and now posts on behalf of that company that he now owns. The system works!  The point of this thread is below this line, stop scrolling now if you're going to be an angry retard and maybe just read these few lines, and cheer up, bucko There's a bunch more just like the examples I gave, but I've already hosed up my daily suggestions by looking up poo poo content for this thread and I said I'd post this thread yesterday already. But really, they're all the same: They show clips of themselves playing video games, rant about other youtubers being not as good or smart or funny or handsome as they are for 30+ minutes (gotta get those lucrative youtube ad dollars!), then the person they rant about posts a response video, also 30+ mintues long. They go back and forth until they decide that their now mortal enemy wasn't maybe so bad and it's time to let the past be the past. It's shallow, lovely, and barely qualifies as entertainment, but for the kind of people who like to gangstalk retards and call 911 on preteens for liking the wrong kind of cartoons, it's a blast watching these people who totally definitely aren't laughing their way to the bank tear eachother down in the most banal and repetitive ways possible. This is pro-wrestling level drama, except with less nuance. Don't think for a minute that these people don't talk to eachother or coordinate their routine rear end-blastings of eachothers', uh, asses. Because they do. Because Youtube drama, like Youtube itself, is fake and gay. There is still a lot of interesting content on youtube. I like John & Hank Green, and for a Let's Play channel, Game Grumps are surprisingly competent at being funny. There are probably good goon youtubers. With all of that said, I want to stress that most of the poo poo on youtube is garbage. Let's use this thread to talk about youtube, in general, being bad, or maybe specific youtubers being bad, doing rapes (a surprising amount of youtubers are rapists, maybe!), and being far more rich and famous than they deserve. Bring back old media! Keg fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Oct 21, 2016 |

I agree; the color television really ruined media for me. No longer did the content need to be interesting or funny. No longer did the sets and costumes need to be carefully selected for contrast against one another. Nowadays, all you need are some flashy costumes and a colorful set. Such trash, all of it.

I haven't watched pro wrestling since I was a child so the analogy is quite foreign to me.

john and hank green are good or bad depending on the channel. vlogbrothers fuckin' sucks and john's really irritating if he's not hosting a crash course episode, and those are sometimes neat i guess. sci show is good though, except the girl on sci show space needs to be replaced filthy frank & the people he makes videos with are ok sometimes. The Vomit cake, Hair cake, human cake series are all pretty great.

One goon who I think makes pretty good stuff is hbomberguy. He mostly does stuff about the alt-right vlog-o-sph*reflexively vomits*, but he also does funny gaming content. One of my favorite videos is him making fun of the Really Angry And Easily Enraged Gamer Does A Video Review thing by giving No Man's Sky a positive review, but if you're new to his poo poo, it's probably better to watch something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYQo6LI3Y7c Here's his Angry Videogame Yelling Man thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DhaUe6y-Co

He relocated to somewhere in the Caribbean (I think) and started building his own catamaran last I knew. I'm still subscribed to his channel, but admittedly lost interest after the spider robot project. His channel is J Mantzel

Yeah but there's a guy who invents all the things that got us where we are today, such as the wheel Also, I think it's funny that there are so many minecraft videos and so many views of them from kids with way too much free time, a user with no history is probably getting a ridiculous amount of them in suggestions I watched the first video on the 35-year-old dude's channel and hated his intro voice but wtf the ginger with no soul is trans now? I don't want to erase trans people or anything but there is definitely an elevated probability that he was trolled into it and will probably realize that before the surgery, much like Triple H Anyway, the best thing on YouTube is webm compilations for the 4chan fans who have no time to scroll 4chan.
