I don't want to offend anyone by the term "generic", but by that term I mean the typical Youtubers who generate the same repetitive content over and over and over and over and over again and it's usually content that is made with little effort and often with filler, such as unnecessary jokes. For obvious reasons I won't even mention specific names.
I for example use Youtube exclusively as a learning platform, I can't say I'm a "fan" of any Youtuber because I'm not really there to watch the weekly/daily video of a content creator, I just jump in and if I want to learn about something I just watch it and that's it, I don't get distracted watching anything else.
I hope no one feels offended because it's not my intention but it really makes me curious how some Youtubers can earn thousands of dollars in donations in streamings where they just play a video game, and when someone donates they don't even pay attention to it, I don't even think they need the money.
I think they mean unnecessary in relation to the content of the video. They could also be talking about bad jokes in general.
Bad jokes makes sense. Obviously if a youtuber is telling unfunny jokes you wouldn’t want to watch them.
I don’t really understand unnecessary in relation to the content though, like all jokes are unnecessary, maybe off topic is better?
I feel like a lot of content creators have in jokes though that their normal audience would get that a new person would find random.
