Current Events > Are there any YouTube channels you used to be big into...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...but these days barely watch or don't watch at all?

Channels that just quit uploading new stuff don't count.

---

Psychic Pebbles
Magic Hugs
Barats n Beretta
Julian Smith

---

A couple, JackOntheGo because his channel used to be great for seeing new restaurants and other food. But now he only shows the food for just a single bite. Got too annoying.

Other is a Bush craft/canoe trip channel that simply turned into wood carving.
---

Jake and Amir. They did quit uploading for a long time but then came back and was meh when it came back.

CrashCourse I haven't watched in like 3 or 4 years, but will probably catch up at some point.

Barats n Beretta

I went to university with them, Beretta was my RD one year.

Aaron Patino is their best video, though it's getting hard to find.

penguinz0/Crit1cal. Used to love watching him play crappy games and corrupted ROMs, as well as troll in Modern Warfare 2. He doesnt really do any of that anymore. His reviews are decent though.

i only started seeing this dude recently because my girlfriend likes him for some reason -- he's really good at expertly making 5:01 videos where he intersperses twelve seconds of karen videos with the same repetitive jokes for the remaining duration. i dont understand the appeal

MW2 trolling sounds awesome but it doesnt look like he does that

---

Ashens. He doesn't upload nearly as regularly as he used to and he seems to have really leant into aspects of his humour I liked the least as well.

---

Jontron although that;s his fault for ever uploading

Nerdcubed when he went on Patreon

100% understand why he did it but the change from funny edited videos to unedited boring video series of niche dull building indie games was dire.

Yeah, I stopped watching about the time he did his face reveal

teamfourstar. at a certain point in DBZA's lifespan, it started to grow stale and formulated

Day9 starcraft vids and a series called when cheese fails by LifesaglitchTV about people trying to cheese out wins in starcraft and having it blow up in their faces.

This. After the show finished I noticed I wasn't really interested in their other stuff so I just...unsubscribed.

Another one I used to watch all the time was NintendoCapriSun. Ended up unsubscribing because I ended up not enjoying his commentary anymore since it was mostly just bathroom humor and repeating his own memes.

---

Farfromsubtle, I guess, I only really liked the more party/multiplayer games anyway and pretty much stopped watching completely after Frash and Becky moved to Japan.

I want to say Nostalgia Critic but he didn't move to YouTube until after I'd already given up on him.

used to love everything slowbeef did, his main LPs, the retsupurae channel, even the podcast

havent watched him in years now, hes just so terminally boring

I really enjoyed him and diabetus growing up, but it's hard for me to even go back to some of those old videos now. I wouldn't say they're unfunny, but other channels, even ones also from SA, have just done what they did far better.

P.S. Chip and Ironicus have still got it.

---

Nostalgia Critic, he is an asshole for some of the shit he allowed to happen. I know I could try to separate the art from the artist but yeah he is an asshole.

Honestly, not really. Ive never really become invested in that sort of thing. I watch the occasional VaatiVidya thing, or whatever, and thats it.

Game Grumps tbh

The early to mid stuff was great but lately ehhhhhhhhh

---

Funhaus. They lost almost the entire crew over the past two years and the replacements aren't nearly as funny. I still love the Willems but they can't hold it up on their own and even they look bored nowadays. A year of recording at home certainly hasn't helped them.

There was a channel called The Bible Reloaded back when youtube atheism was still decently big. They did a lot of crossovers with other channels and did very popular movie reviews. Then they changed the channel name to Hugo & Jake to capture a wider range of content, but after a while their viewership evaporated... I was one of the people who stopped watching, though I'm not sure why everyone else stopped at the same time. Now they're Hannah & Jake because one transitioned.


---

Funhaus: Lost interest in the channel when Bruce + Lawrence left and Adam turned out to be a massive creep (I actually stopped watching long before that stuff came out but that pretty much killed any interest I would have had of rewatching them.). Still like James + Elise and Jacob but they weren't enough to keep me interested.

H3H3: Used to like him when he'd make fun of cringy videos, but stopped watching shortly before he started the podcast since he didn't do those videos much anymore and the ones he would do weren't all that funny.

Used to watch some horror game LPers (Pewds, Markiplier, etc.) so I could get the horror game experience without having to buy said games, but ever since I became dulled to most horror games I stopped watching them. That + I don't care for solo LPers these days.

Even without his behavior, I don't even think his stuff is that good. He is way too nitpicky for stuff that doesn't even matter, will latch onto them as legit flaws and get pissy about them, then turn around and say "yeah, the movie's still alright for the most part".

It got worse after Demo Reel's failure and return of the original series, and reached a head with his review of The Wall (which was unanimously panned by his fanbase)

Jim Sterling
Young Turks

A couple I'm too embarrassed to mention.

---

I used to watch a lot of political/drama commentator channels but I just kinda... got tired of that shit.

---

AVGN. Used to be a fan but stopped watching for obvious reasons

They used to be a few poketubers I watched. ADrive, Haydunn, Pokeaimmd, ShadyPenguinn and a few others. But I lost interest in pokmon, especially after the last game, so I stopped watching most of these channels. ShadyPenguinn I stopped watching even before, because he stopped focusing on Pokemon and started playing games I didn't care about. And his attitude got worse.

Hydraulic press channel

I've left and gone back to that one twice. Haven't subbed in a couple of years, but it really loses its appeal pretty quickly

---

Kids react or whoever is was that made those and tried to copyright the term react.

A number of video game play through channels

Used to love Battlefield YouTube channels like RussianBadger and BigMooney06. A lot of them stopped playing those games though and especially in Badgers case the videos became over the top whacky nonsense so I unsubbed.

---

I'm gonna say Achievement Hunter. I've never played Minecraft, but watched 100 or 200 episodes of Let's Play Minecraft alone. I either got bored with it or couldn't get into the new people

---

NostalgiaCritic

NerdCubed

SpawnWave
To be fair I think Spawn Wave is still a good channel, I just liked his more news less commentary style he had two years ago or so. Now his videos are twice as long as I feel they should be.

---

GameGrumps

I grew up and they just became a shell of their former selves.

---

Thehill88 but it no longer exists

I guess I would count GTLive. There are a few that I just dont watch to let the videos build up, as well But I will go back and watch them later Though, I do sometimes forget they exist
---

GhostRobo. He was my favorite lets player because his personality is really positive without feeling that forced. But then he fell int a bad habit of starting games and not finishing them and then moving onto new games and doing the same thing. And then he basically abandoned his main channel completely to create a spin-off channel talking exclusively about Switch news and I dont have a Switch yet so I havent had a reason to keep watching his stuff.

There was also a period where I was obsessed with moto-vlogs (vlogging while riding motorcycles) but I havent watched one of those in years

---

Nostalgia Critic, ever since he went from mainly solo reviews to ridiculous group skit reviews.

Definitely this. Last year I got nostalgic for Retsupurae and was surprised to see slowbeef still uploading to his own channel, I think his daughter has grown up enough to start playing the games too. I subbed to slowbeef but I just don't want any of his content anymore, it's just not interesting anymore.

I used to watch MaximilianMus' early Overwatch videos where he "acted" like an obnoxious troll but made hilarious jokes and got others to expose their true natures. When Mus started getting popular, it became apparent that he was actually an insufferable piece of garbage, cultivated a following of bad people who supported his awful nature, and together they did horrible actions to many people.
