Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

I actually unsubscribed from him about a year ago because his content became unwatchable. I was subscribed for a long time, I really like the dude and he does great stuff. Where he went wrong for me is pursuing a more aggressive release schedule, pushing out a lot of videos. This lead to the content being a bit lacking at times. Still good topics and perfectly produced, but really not very much info or depth.

He seemed to also be pushed to a certain video length, which led to a lot of filler. And by a lot I mean more than half of the video was filler. Maybe great for people with short attention spans, but repeating the same thing in slightly different wording 3+ times becomes annoying really fast. He was also not good at filler, using pretty much the same script and wording in each video. There is something to be said for style, but if I can predict 80% of the video word for word in advance, it loses incentive to watch.

Now I don't blame him, he is just following the algorithm which is his job as a content creator. And some of the videos are really cool, especially on the rare occasion he does a bit of a deeper dive. And the dude knows his stuff, you just know he wants to tell more about some subjects, but doesn't because it doesn't fit in his video format and the audience he is targeting.

For me, I would put MVG in the used to be great, now is mediocre category.
