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.
I might be playing Devil’s Advocate here, but Psivewri.
I started watching him years ago for his tech videos, usually restoring mundane computers, and I still enjoy that content.
However, he started getting into automotive, and I’m glad that he’s stretching out into other areas. It’s clear he’s still learning and probably on my level of mechanics (backyardie who can watch videos and read a workshop manual), but my issue is how he presents the videos like he knows what he’s doing, almost like a tutorial - giving random tips throughout.
His Dad assists him with the work he does on cars (like myself) and in that sense, I’d rather hear tips from the Dad than him because I’d have more confidence he knows what he’s talking about.
Otherwise maybe PhoenixSC? I started watching him when he was uploading redstone contraptions to r/Minecraft and he had 4K subscribers. His older, experimental videos were always interesting, and his work on adventure maps like PokeCA was amazing to watch.
Today, most of his videos boil down to the following:
I’m glad that he’s grown to be more confident in himself and in general, become more entertaining when he talks, but I feel he’s gone too much into the mainstream over the last few years rather than keeping to his lane.
