I Hate Shiny Bearded Youtube Guy I Hate Shiny Bearded Youtube Guy. He's like Mr. Beast in that it's just the youtube algorithm wearing human skin.

I'm so sick of seeing that computer generated look a like freak on every fucking clickbaiting "historical" videos that are probably just vomiting wikipedia article.

This is part of the reason why I downloaded an extension that hides recommended videos

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

I find so so many small creators who work in my hobbies and also amazing video essayists in the recommended, it really is worth looking through from time to time, found some of my favorite channels that way

I just individually block channels and videos that are shite and over time it improves

I blocked so goddamn many of his channels with blocktube. Him and all the moistcritical clip channels.

I remember he sucks for some reason but can someone explain why? I forgot

[-] EatPotatoes@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Can't stand moistcriticals "I dont know anything but here is what I think" aura.

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Annoying voice, commentary that somehow manages to be above surface level, and is fundamentally a drama YouTuber and therefore one misfired neuron away from becoming a frothing fascist.

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Personally I just blocked all the channels because i wasn't interested in the content and it was pissing me off to see the same guy over and over ("didn't I already block this guy?"). I also assume if somebody has that many separate youtube ventures they're probably some rich turd.

"Simon Whistler And His 100 Channels" sounds like a whimsical children's fantasy book from the Shadowrun universe

Oh, a video on Elon?

I don't know who this is, is it nl-smug

lmao no he's Simon Whistler he does a shit ton of presenting for videos mostly about history and politics, and it's always dogshit. i don't even know the guy's actual views and that's probably by design because he's kind of a mr beast figure in the sense that he's just a vessel for the algorithm. i don't know if he only gets paid to host or he does retain some control on the scripts but almost all of it is dogshit.

Not only is the stuff he says often wrong, he's also a turbo-lib anticommunist. "Gommunism no food 19beanie4 muh 500 trillion kulaks" levels of analysis. He's the perfect example of British people having a British accent makes them think they're smart.

[-] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 3 days ago

does he sound like that when he's ordering a kebab, or is he just putting on the overly pronounced accent to sound more big brained 🤔

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

definitely the latter americans love the british accent

[-] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

There's a whole archetype of Bald British YouTube Guy Who Does Radio 4 Intonation* In Place of Actual Comedy or Substance

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
