Just saw this thread where they're complaining about a clip of him from a recent stream where someone in his chat brought up the New Warriors and he reminisces about them for a few minutes. And I just don't get why people are hating on him for just...interacting with his chat and having fun?

Like, they're accusing him of clickbait when it's not even a video from his own channel, saying he never even researches the topics he discusses when the video in question starts with him literally going to research what he's talking about, and making up other stuff about him that is directly contradicted by the video they're referring to (which I'm assuming no one in the thread actually watched).

I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but pretty much all of the videos of his I've seen just have him giving the most Normal GuyTM opinions on things ever, or partaking in a goofy hobby like collecting dildos or talking about how much his dad loves aliens. So seeing reactions like this to him kinda threw me off guard? Like, is there any actual controversy surrounding this guy I don't know of? Or is this just a case of Twitter going "I don't like this guy because he has a different opinion than me on something so I'm going to make him sound evil"?

I've only seen a few videos of his, mostly when people here post them. He's...fine. Not someone I'd go out of my way to watch, but not someone who's offensive and hateable at least as far as I can tell or know.

He makes 10-20 minute videos about 30 seconds worth of content / drama so he can monetize them, padding for time by saying "poop" and "fart" and "titty" a lot because he's got a fourth grader's sense of humor. Nothing he says is ever even insightful or contributes to the discussion in either way, all he does is rehash what happened in a viral clip/article in a droning monotone with some toilet humor thrown in.

I feel like the answer is just... Don't watch it? If he actually did anything offensive, I'd get the hate, but otherwise he's just... A typical reaction Youtuber.

Looking at his channel, outside of stream clips, his last, like, 20 videos where he discusses things are mostly under 10 minutes. The longest ones (13/14 minutes) are him just hanging out with his friends or laughing at pictures of himself from when he was in high school.

Like, this is what I'm confused about, people just making up stuff about him because they already don't like him?

Yeah, that makes sense. Just not watching someone you don't find interesting.

If he changed his usual format since I got tired of constantly seeing him in my recommendations and blocked the channel, that's good.

idk if anyone remembers but there was a time when his commentary schtick was actually fresh and different for the message board dweller population into games and internet culture (club penguin, newgrounds, neogaf, gamefaqs lol)

Now he's just another one of those cringe personalities slaved to the algorithm of entertaining zoomers about shit he never had any investment in before.

I started watching him wayyyyyy back. Like, I found a random clip of him complaining about the Kipiris submachine gun in Black Ops 1 and idk if he even had a channel at that point. It may have been his first ever commentary vid and it was on some other dudes channel. I first watched it when it was still newish. He must have been 15 or something when he made it. The most OG of fans lol.

I dont watch every vid, but when he plays a game I think would be funny to see him play I watch it. I think hes a cool dude.

Seems like it.

I think I actually remember Critical once saying people on Twitter usually just look at headlines and don't ever actually read up on things before getting angry about something. Which is funnily what most of these people hating on him are being guilty of here.

I found him during the "Ski Jumping Pairs" video and he'll forever and always be a God because of that video.

Also, if you don't like it, don't fucking watch it. Complaining about a YouTuber on Social Media doing reactions is the exact same thing as what they're doing. You're looking for engagement and clicks, so chill the fuck out and do something else with your life.

He's the least offensive commentary youtuber and probably the least obnoxious/stupid so I'll watch a vid of his for a quick rundown of something if I'm bored. He was definitely funnier a few years ago but unlike most drama or drama-adjacent channels I don't think he's malicious and right now he's just collecting paychecks.

Gun to my head, if I had to watch any "popular" commentary Youtuber, I think I like... Atozy? Otherwise I'm not into it. That said, yeah, MoistCritical seems very just... inoffensive.

This guy has another channel called "gifted hater" from the skateboarding side of youtube. Kind of notorious in that space. He's gotten threats from a pro skater or two lol. I watch him sometimes on his main. Didnt realize he had a secret account till like 5 mins ago.

I just get annoyed seeing him on my recommendation because the youtube algorithm thinks I want to keep watching his stuff. I click "not interested" and it still recommends me his videos. Youtube clearly loves this guy, but I don't see the appeal. He takes a story that should only last maybe 4 minutes of explanation and just stretches it as long as possible for that sweet youtube money. He's basically like most other youtubers, which I get people need to pay the bills, but I'm sick of seeing him recommended to me all the time.

"Not interested" means your not interested in that video, so it stops recommending that video. You have to click "Don't recommend this channel" right under that.

As for the topic, I watch a lot of his videos. I don't really understand the complaints that he's a drama youtuber when that content is a small fraction of his videos.

Do you have any of his videos in your history? If so, delete them and see if that changes anything, cuz your history impacts what stuff you get recommended.

True, he talks about whatever he thinks is interesting. Sometimes that is drama, but it never felt like the main thing.

Maybe he used to be more of a drama YouTuber years ago and that's what people who don't like him remember of him.

Haha, so I checked and realize a lot of the videos recommended to me isn't even from his channel, but from those sub-channels that he's not affiliated with. Yeah I might have to scrub some videos from my history that is affecting the algorithm, but if he improved and moved away from being a drama youtuber I might check out his newer stuff out.

hmm yeah kinda but i guess he relies on his hate for patreon money. i do agree with most of his points in the Moist Critikal hate vid #2 and #7. TBH i had no idea that Critikal was like a redditor type of guy (takes-wise). It is annoying af

also it's kinda funny watching his moist critikal hate vids and then seeing the same guy (gifted hater) on a vice video lmao. super lowkey guy.

i dont hate him but i dont really get him either. sometimes he talks about interesting things, but he rarely adds anything interesting to what it is. he just kind of monotone goes "wow thats crazy. wow can you believe this. wowwwww"

it reminds me of those channels that are like "guy reacts to (song) for the first time!" and its just a guy listening to a song and occasionally stopping it to say "great guitar solo" or something. why does everything need some bland dude accompanying it

a lot of his recent videos are just:

>30s clip of something viral
>29 minutes of stating his own opinion except its the most room-temperature takes and common sense

and some of them also break up the clip where you watch like 3 seconds and then for the next 20 seconds he's just repeating back what was said and shown in the 3 seconds you just saw

He's definitely past his heyday but he does occasionally release a good video now and again still

as for any hate directed at him? couldnt be more forced. getting upset at him for calling out the south park caricature heroes like safespace and snowflake or whatever? most fakest drama ever

tbf, I prefer this than people who always want to give "spicy" takes (and by spicy I mean racist or homophobic).

But that's what I mean when I don't get hate on Critical when all his opinions are just very...inoffensive? And it's not like he's trying to be super lukewarm on stuff as some online personality or whatever, he's just actually just a normal guy with normal takes.
