I ditch anyone who inserts a bible verse or anything similar into their videos

Or if I find out that they are a conservative

Lindybeige for being a conservative cunt and making videos about his godawful beliefs about society instead of cool history stuff he used to do

I used to love H3 back in the early days for their It’s Time to Stop videos holding people to account. But then they got big and wealthy and had kids and now everything is aimed at whoever doesn’t like them, and I mean who tf would given their stance on killing innocent children and journalists. Threw out the t-shirt I bought. Such a disappointment.

I’m really close to dropping Dwarkesh Patel after he gave a platform to AI bros and Musk.

He used to have proper researchers and scientists on. Now it’s unwatchable shit.

Shadiversity. Guy made some really interesting videos breaking down different kinds of historical melee weapons, showing how, when, and why they were used. Genuinely interesting content until he started randomly spewing right wing nonsense a few years ago.

Hurr… this one hurts.

Door Monster.

I held on when they decided to shift to D&D stuff only for some bizzare reason. I still enjoyed all the skits, and the skits themselves returned eventually.

Then Kyle started doing video essays that just had a personal slant I wasnt fond of. Constantly harping on shows like Arcane S2 and Fallout. This is all completely subjective, opinionated disagreements on my part to be clear.

And some of those essays had points I agreed with, like the Last of Us TV producers having a very gross attitude towards a zombie raping a woman and calling it ‘beautiful’.

I just got fed up with seeing them in the end. Plus, for reasons I couldnt work out, the rest of the crew just vanished from the skits after a point, and it became Kyle playing every character.

She’s brave to come out as transgender in Texas in the climate we have. I wouldve stuck around to support that much, but I just stopped enjoying the actual content in the end. I dont see a reason to stay subscribed, if my enjoyment going forward boils down to a curated playlist of past videos.

IDK that I’ve really ‘dropped’ any YouTubers. Just kind of stopped watching because something else caught my attention.

I have several that I check in on now and again, but the only one where I watch everything is Primitive Technology.

Linus …

Contrapoints for her awful Palestine take.

Linus tech tips, after letting his son go through and pick parts to build a computer on top of everything else I just couldn’t stand it.

SV Seeker nuked everything so it’s not like I would watch it i could but I found the channel because of the build stuff.

Mike Patey, the man had money… yes he works hard. Some people can run on that little sleep. Then he pulled a derp and wrecked the plane on takeoff. Next I start seeing the new mansion build.

Abom79, again I loved the build videos. When my shoulder was healing and I had to sleep sitting up (which sucks so bad they had to give me ambien to sleep just 3 hours) I would watch his videos and get some naps in no clue why but watching the machining was so fascinating but it would make me nod off like a drunk redneck watching NASCAR. Pretty soon it’s let’s talk about my new tool that some company gave me. And vacation travel.

There was one where a guy in Asia built a house and cleared the land diverted a stream for water and Tools. Had the fish pond etc. No talking just doing things. Then his sister started a channel and things just flopped.

There have been a few others who changed their identity when they got popular.

Veritasium. Sold out to private equity.

Fucking Destiny. After Professor Dave drilled him a new one.

AvE - got introduced him just before he decided to start talking positively about MAGA and the similar Canadian trucker protests. Plenty of other people out there doing teardown my videos, so I bailed.

Rose Anvil - loved his work boot teardowns, but he gradually started promoting his own collabs and seemed to favor certain brands even if they were doing things he called shoddy in other brands. Then he started doing a lot with Jim Green boots in South Africa and making a lot of comments that felt pro-Rhodesia to me and started giving me the ick for watching.

Forgotten Weapons I still watch if there is something of particular interest to me. I used to watch every one, but as the country got more MAGA invested and gun culture felt like it was becoming more toxic than usual, I wasn’t happy with Ian staying neutral. If he’s worried about losing viewers and connections with gun manufacturers, I get that, but I also don’t have to like it or support it.
