For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.

But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.

His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.

So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.

We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.

    Basically any channel that started doing “reaction” content. Oh you’re reading the top page of Reddit today? Cool, what creative value does that have to me? Absolutely none. Goodbye. I get that it’s really popular but I have no idea why, and I get it’s cheap to make but it’s also shit, so you get what you pay for I guess.

    The only exception to this is Jimmy Broadbent who occasionally does his “Sim Racing Stewards” series which is basically his take on Reddit user submitted clips of their online racing mishaps. I find it really interesting to watch because he has so much sim racing experience and, albeit less, experience of real world racing with real life stewards and racing rules. It’s entertaining and interesting and I want to know his opinion on these incidents because he has enough context to have an opinion, and doesn’t act like his opinion is gospel.

      sniperwolf, doctor mike yea , i never got around to consuming his content, but he did have a few drama incidents that are not caused by him. sniperwolf herself is a problem, she doxxed and stalked someone.
