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
