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.

    Yup, dropped him when he came out in support of the convoy and then got annoyed when people told him to stfu.

    Sadly he’s gained back and surpassed his subscriber numbers since the big drop around that time.

      covid seemed to have broke many channels owners mind, all the lockdown made them delusional and paranoid, hence why they all fall into the maga manosphere. the channel i was following had the same path, lockdown made them question vaccine/mask mandate, then when the incidents happened they went full maga.
