He comes across as arrogant a lot of the time, and does that thing a lot of English nerds do where they think that being an overly sarcastic ass is funny when it just makes them sound like they think they're superior to everyone else
Fuck's sake, warn me next time you post a vomit gif
*really really really hates vomit, like legit kind of emetophobic, and now feels ill*

He plays it up for laughs, at least he isn't fucking angry joe, besides being a cringe inducing mediocre critic who flounders in every interview he's ever given he took advantage of the death of a youtuber he barely knew to cry on camera and monetise the video, literally profitting off of someones death, seriously fuck Angry Joe.
EhhI dont like any youtubers these days. A lot of them try doing click bait content, fake personalities among ofher things like terrible editing, forced comedic sound effects, etc and it annoys me. I get they want to be fun/entertaining but the overacting kills my interest.

You think everything on actual television is a real personality? I'm not sure what that means, but Youtube has kind of taken over around here. I frequently have it on my television by the couch, and as far as my nieces go -- I don't even know if they know what traditional television is. A youtube channel to them is not a novel concept, it's just how they watch stuff.

It's still irritating though. It comes off as simultaneously forced and just prickish. I guess he reminds me too much of other awful nerds I've had to deal with.

There are still good people out there. Chip & Ironicus, Retsupurae, the McElroys (Monster Factory, Car Boys and Griffin's Pokemon Y Nuzlocke run are all amazing), Cool Ghosts
Man, I'm still pissed I didn't stick with LPing when I started like 7 years ago :c

I watched a pewdie pie video a while ago that made me laugh. Yeah, he has outbursts and he falls down and stuff -- I get that it's fake, I don't even know why that's something worthy of pointing out. He's putting on a show. His physical comedy is actually pretty good.
The "fake" argument doesn't resonate with me as a criticism of youtube channels.

YouTube is just the natural evolution of video content creation and distribution, leveraging modern technology and offering a far wider breadth of content variety thanks to accessibility of tools and proliferation of recording hardware. Anybody can be a talk show host, a soapbox ranter, reviewer, commentator, or whatever. And it makes perfect sense that economised markets and increased production standards grow from this.
I think for me it's more a matter of taste, and what sometimes feels like digging through a pile of shit for the appealing stuff. I feel an overwhelming majority of gaming related stuff heavily caters to pop culture shtick and presentation, where I just don't find myself entertained or stimulated. It's also honestly why I don't really like PAX and much. Less a criticism of the content/events themselves, and more that I don't find myself particularly interested in the culture they offer.
RedLetterMedia is basically the only TV-like regular YouTube production I view. That being said I'd be open to any recommendations.

It's similar to music, cheaper technology and delivery channels has democratised a section of media.
Shit, I'll watch Feng play Metroid out of the corner of my eye while I lift weights at home, but it doesn't click for me, mainly because I've never looked to anyone else for....their opinion on entertainment I guess?

I like noise, so youtube channels are often used to that end - But what's more is I like comfortable/familiar noise. I like it to such an extent that if I like a video a lot sometimes I'll just watch it over and over because anything different would disappoint me. I know how weird that might sound, but it's hard to explain.

How dare you, I'm top tier entertainment and full of on point opinions
I'm still not sure why y'all watch me. I have terrible opinions on everything <3
Just to weigh in on the personality chat, I'm a huge fan of Giant Bomb and Easy Allies/Ex-Gametrailers because it feels like watching/listening to friends talk about videogames but with actual decent discussion.
Their talk on NMS was actually refreshing to listen to as a change from the general crazy train that game has spawned. (Please God, let this not spawn into an NMS discussion)
I tried the Co-Optional Podcast but I couldn't get past TotalBiscuit's personality (or character).
Sorry mate, not what I meant. Was trying to say that there's only very specific circumstances under which I'll watch someone else play videogames etc...

No no no I was being a smart arse. haha
I left the joke in the spoiler
Sly as fuck edit : I know what you meant and I'm the same. I'll never go out of my way to watch streams, I'll only watch streams if I'm working on something mindless or if someone asks me to be part of the shenanigans.

Aye, oh hope you get to it soon, waiting for doctors is a pain.
I'll just rest for the day and go to the eye doc in the afternoon to get proper treatment.
69s are awesome, hate being sick and not having sex
