the "popular" YouTube content at any point in time has always been shit.

I barely watch vidya "content" on youtube anymore. I just watch vtubers instead because I like seeing people actually play the games I enjoy instead of ramble for hours on end about them.

my man youre in no place to say someone's not funny when youre using a 100 girlfriends png, and yes i read that shit but the mom joining is still weird asf

Internet Historian is funny as shit.

as far as video essayist type youtubers, Mauler makes some good jokes with his editing. but there's also a lot of inside jokes from his 10 thousand hours of livestreams that probably aren't worth catching up on unless you are severely autistic. e;r has some funny videos as well.

totally forgot Internet Historian. he's probably the funniest guy that's "consistently" uploading shit.

Jerma, Vinny and Joel are also very funny.

That ain’t 100 girlfriends user...

blame the ever changing algorithm and the content "creators" that chase it.

This son of a bitch makes 5 minutes videos every week alongside an extra 5-10 minute bonus episode about whatever vidya topic he wants to rant about and is still funny as shit while making good points.

I used to consider him a snob, but as time has gone on I've come to agree with him on a lot of things.

He's funny but the quick cut format has aged and is a bit obnoxious now.

Still miles better than 20-30 minute rambling videos that go nowhere. The format makes for perfect toilet viewing too.

why change something that works fine?

Modern media is like watching someone work their way through a therapy session.

I just can't imagine any real people actually sitting down, consuming the content, and then after they watch it feel like they have just spent their time on something meaningful and then praise the content creator in the comments and subscribe to their patreon.

For me? It's contrapoints

Also the problem with the format is if you want to watch a bunch of them the intro will drive you mad after 10 episodes.

Shell suits still work, why aren't you wearing one?

love this nigga

>when did this video essay faggot shit start?
when YT algorithm optimized for clickbait and watchtime, incentivising longer videos

>why the fuck do people like it so much?
a lot of normies just like having noise in the background or nodding off to sleep with a familiar voice. same reason audiobooks and podcasts popped off.

this is the best fucking thing ive read on this board

Watching influencers/youtubers is a clear NPC behavior. Go play games and build your own opinions, faggots.

I guess I just don't understand how so many people just don't actively engage with the content they consume. that's half of the fun for me.

Holy shit

Explain the last 3 years of Will Smith's career outside of it being some experimental form of therapy he got duped into.

>vidya/movie ending explained
why is this a thing

fpbp

Why shouldn't it be?

normalfags do not engage with the media they consume. they just watch it and then clap like seals when it ends.

>How to beat x
>Yeah I'd just use knowledge and statistics that the protagonist would have no way of knowing

Why are you faggots always so adamant that people never played these games they watch stuff about? I don't even want to see ANYTHING about games I don't have played myself.

I watch Grimbeard. Never played a point and click in my life, or an adventure/vn.

active engagement is the exact opposite of content consumption.
there's a reason consumers were called couch potatoes back when broadcast tv was still king.

where was it implied that these people don't play the games?

Most of these essays are just hubs for people to discuss the game in question in the comment section or just baclground noise, the only one I enjoy is Face Full of Eyes.

What else is actively engaging then? Discussing it with fellow 4channelers? LMFAO good luck with that.

i cant imagine worse place to discuss something than youtube comments

kek, no. I usually discuss with people irl. 4channel is for shitposting and bad faith arguments.

Most people don't sit down and watch this, it's background noise while they do something else like grindan, trying to sleep, shitposting, working homeoffice (though I even do that at work at times) doing chores, etc.
Do you think people the majority of people still watching tv actually "watches" any of the daytime TV program?

I cringe about shit like this but honestly, I wonder how much they pay these people per video? Surely it has to be enough to warrant them selling their souls and shilling in their videos. What's crazy is even the weird "these people are cringe, I make fun of everybody" type of people like 39daph ended up shilling and doing sponsored videos.
