His jokes just don't land anymore. Can't remember the last time I found one of his videos entertaining. On the contrary, watching his newer content actually makes me feel sad.

His indie game company is a really cool thing though
Bigmode is fine, but... Slightly controversial opinion here - I don't actually care that much for indie games. I think they are healthy for the gaming ecosystem, and certainly there have been indie games I've played in the past that have absolutely blown my socks off, but I usually just wait for someone to tell me if there are any indie titles out there worth playing. I wouldn't watch his channel just to get that info.
Check out "arctic eggs" haha
Joe Rogan podcast, unsubbed and stopped watching about 5-6 years ago when he stopped being progressive and started sucking billionaire dick nonstop
My brother finally got me into him like two months before he started going downhill. It was a shocking transition even for a new listener like me.

Fucking AvE...
I hung on every damn vidjeo
I still watch him how and then, I probably even agree with some of his hot takes, but he's just fucking tonedef heading into the conservative crap.
His content took a sharp decline when COVID happened. Pretty sure the whole thing gave him severe brain damage.
Rageaholic is one that i got tired of.
Found his videos from searching about iron Maiden and Yngwie malmsteen. But he doesn't even talk about music any more.
Purely a libertarian commentator now.
Member Thunderf00t? Had to un-sub after he went full misogyny during gamergate, and I've popped in since it's not gotten any better it's still him doing the same shtick hasn't evolved even a little... Usually about Elon Musk, which sounds like it would be good content, but not when you exposed your biases and don't change anything.
I was a teenager when he made the turn and started "owning" feminism. I sat there thinking that all his criticisms where not only adressed by femenist writers 40 years ago, but often even integral parts of some strains of femisms, and i had just begun reading entry level stuff on the subject. That's when i learned what a unintellectual dunkhead he really was.

Honestly, James Stephanie Sterling.
I had been following them since The Escapist days, but a few years ago I just couldn't do it anymore. I was only interested in their Jimquisition stuff, and that had gotten really samey week over week.
It felt extra bad because this was after they had already lost like 20% of their subscribers for other reasons. I really hate that I might be lumped in with all those lovely folks when my reasons for leaving were entirely separate.
I still appreciate their message, though. I still think the Digital Homicide saga is one of the more interesting Internet dramas I've been witness to. And I still check in from time to time, mostly for their year-end lists and if something specific has happened in the gaming industry that I want their opinion on.
What I'm trying to say is, thank God for JSS, but only in small doses for me personally.

one time i subscribed to someone and a week later they shifted to youtube kids clickbait slop
Yeah, I had to do that with Nux Taku. The guy made funny videos back in the day, but he slowly became a "Anti-woke" conservative mouthpiece. It's funny because the video that made me unsubscribe was a video of his saying how another youtuber got cancelled for being too woke.

This was me with Linus Tech Tips, it's just not the content i subscribed for all those years ago.
Yeahh. All the newer videos feel extremely rushed, and low thought. Its sad coming back to it after years.
writing was on the wall after the overwork allegations, sexism allegations and nosediving quality. ltt was being run like a corporation and it was a matter of time. i left them then expecting it to tank further and it did.

I used to follow a youtuber who slowly realized that the earnings when using her talent and profession fell short of just doing OF and showing bikini photos.

AvE. A 3 minute video supporting the truckers "protest" gets a hard NO from me.
He's why I had to install 3rd party channel blocker because yt kept recommending his videos.

Mark Rober is headed this direction for me.
I remember thinking highly of some of his early content. Like this guy could be a decent educator.
Now every time I see him, he just comes across as a walking breathing brand rather than an interesting individual.

the instant crunch labs was announced I got out of there, it turned from kid friendly content to content for kids
I generally prefer it if YouTubers can self-fund based on merch, as opposed to hawking shavers, VPNs, and overpriced TV dinners. That said, the drop in quality has been noticeable from that point on. The drone defense video was particularly noticeable for being military propaganda.

So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists... 😟
