Message: [QUOTE="lestagio, post: 558724, member: 911738"] What YouTube channels were good years ago, but aren't very good now? Just channels that fell to corporations and money instead of fun, or fell to what people call the "Mr Beastification" of YouTube. For me, Game Theory is one of the biggest contenders. I used to like watching the videos in the background, but then they sold out and MatPat left and it's never been the same... it started to hit a decline when it was more about lore analysis than actual ridiculous science behind things, but it was still fun. Mark Rober is another big one for me. The videos always felt like they were for all ages and had actual good, fun science behind them. Mark broke down the science well for younger viewers but it was still entertaining. But in the past few years, he's fallen probably the absolute WORST to the Mr. Beast feel. I recently clicked one of his videos and it starts with yelling, fast cuts, previews of the video... Just bullshit and it's really unfortunate. Hell, Mr. Beast honestly wasn't all that bad 4-5 years ago. I never was a big fan since the videos were still a bit more kid oriented, but the videos were watchable. But once he became [I]the[/I] Youtube guy and super rich, he's become intensely grating to watch. One of the few channels that I feel has stayed true always is VideoGameDunkey. His content and humor has stayed the same for 10+ years. True, some of the new videos aren't quite as good as they used to be, as many of them are just gameplay videos with jokes, but they're still generally pretty funny. Likely due to him having a child and starting his publishing company, but Animal Well [I]was[/I] really good. I don't think he's really outright "declined" though. It just feels like he oscillates between lower quality, joke videos with a well thought-out one once a month, which is fine.I also find it nice that his video format has stayed pretty short for the most part, instead of chasing the 10 minutes all the damn time. And he still occasionally releases a good review or short satirical video essay that I always find has a good message below all of the jokes. Just a genuine, funny channel all around. [/QUOTE]
