The 8-Bit Guy for his pro-gun stance. The dude literally walks in retail stores with a gun strapped to his back.
I forget the channel names because it’s been awhile and I blocked them from my algorithm. But one literally yelled at his audience for criticizing his gross overuse of AI and the other person (who is white) started saying shit like “black fatigue.”
Dropped them both real quick.
I really liked William Osman back in the day. But there definitely was a tonal shift in his videos after his house burned down and for some reason I just completely lost all interest in his content. I’m not even sure what it is, I just get bummed out whenever I try to watch anything of his.
When an engineering youtuber arms a robot, I block.
Ordinary Sausage. His Mark Ruffalo scale is complete bullshit.
Just kidding. Best channel on YT ever
Pretty much every gun youtuber. So many of them have MAGA vibes. I used to like garandthumb, but his constant anti lgbt quips in the intros made it too hard to give him views
Should try out InRangeTV.
As for why? Let me post the first thing you see on their website.
"InRange is a media and community building project that is actively anti-racist, pro human liberation and LGBTQ+ rights. We cover firearms, history, and the sociological impact of these topics with a focus on empathy and humanity. We produce content on modern firearms, historical firearms, competition, training, education, and the social impacts of firearms, the good and the bad. "
He has never fought to preserve a bridge with bigoted, hate spreading assholes. In fact, he burns them like Sherman, and makes sure the public sees it in all its ugliness and glory.
LTT. Linus is a whiny out of touch git and all the good content creators have already left
And almost every major face on the channel (but his) quit and left in a relatively short period of time, Which screams about how healthy things are behind the scenes.
I can’t even remember them all, but it’s usually one of the following, in no particular order:
– Someone who started well but whose channel is now just ads for paid content elsewhere, OR whose content is clearly only there to serve as a vehicle by which to present all their merch, affiliate links, new products, paid collaborations, etc., and/or where the content itself is merely a series of reminders about “check the link in the description!” every two minutes to the extent that even Sponsor Block can’t keep up (the art communities tend to have these more than others do)
– Someone who is casually cruel, or if they mock others in a way that could even be remotely considered serious (Cam Anderson of Blacktail Studios is my sole exception here: mouth like a flamethrower but it’s hilarious and clearly not meant seriously except in regard to his ex-roommate, iykyk)
– Someone who draws me in on content but turns out to have an incessant whine or series of gripes or is embroiled in unending conflicts
– Someone who leans heavy on religion, or uses voiceover to deliver extended essay-like monologues on some unrelated subject
– Someone who turns out to be right-wing/fascist or strikes me as a propagandist, and/or delivers propagandistic content that seems to rely on emotional interaction or visceral response from the viewer
– AI content: I can live with a splash screen/intro or other minor bits, but otherwise I don’t want to see it or hear it
I’ve dropped all of them in a way. I only go to YouTube to watch the weekly alton brown. Instead of YouTube, I spend 4 bucks a month to watch the stuff that Corridor has on thier website. I’m trying to degoogle and demicrosoft my life.
I used enjoy the critical drinker. But his videos got anti-woke instead of just being critical of bad writing.
The last straw was him on a podcast agreeing with right wingers/maga/fascists.
I blocked him since then. Not sure if he was always like that or just fell down a dark rabbit hole.
SomeOrdinaryGamers, because of him lying about being an engineer and because his content amounted to little more than slop drama.
Why would you lie about being an engineer? Or he is an engineer and tried to say he wasn’t?
People lie about their credentials and accomplishments on the internet all the time. I would know, I have a master’s degree in internet lies.
What I mean is, if you’re going to lie, then why an engineer? I have a degree in engineering and I’m a complete moron. Anybody can get an engineering degree, if they just like math and physics
It sounds impressive to people who aren’t in the field. Like “scientist” or “doctor”. You might be really dumb but when you drop that title it tends to catch attention, warranted or not.
I ditch anyone who inserts a bible verse or anything similar into their videos
Or if I find out that they are a conservative
Yeah instant turn off to me anyone who thanks god for all his “wonders” but doesn’t thank god for killing a bunch of kids somewhere.
i dropped Mark Roper when he said he loves his Tesla and plans on buying another. I just can’t deal with Nazi fanboys.
Renaissance Periodation. He kept suggesting to his viewers that we should check his facts against Chatgpt. His sex jokes got boring and repetitive.
Mostly, i drop a youtuber when i get bored with their content.
He sketches me out every time I see him. He seems to be involved in every bogus YouTube humanitarian scam. I don’t trust that guy.
Mark does rub me the wrong way. He’s just a very positive guy and clearly cares about being a good guy. But is way too buddy buddy with the big man.
I get creeper vibes from him, always have. Something about the way he behaves around kids, as a dude who has gotta be in his 40s-50s at this point… Yeah it’s weird.
I don’t get creeper vibes from him around kids, he seems like a good teacher. Where I get bad vibes are all his scams. The “golden ticket” he did in his science boxes just seemed like an illegal lottery. You cannkt have a giveaway where you must purchase somethong for entry, and idk how they would distribute winners to online submissions and golden tickets evenly
Rainman Ray’s Repairs; he went full MAGA and basically told his audience to fuck off if they didn’t like it, so I did.
Same with Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics.

I also used to watch Rainman Ray. But some comments he made about covid started making me suspicious, and and I noped the fuck off fully when he pointed at his newly hired black office worker and said she was his slave, as a “joke”. I had a feeling he was going that direction, and its nice to have my suspicion confirmed.
