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.

    When my wife and I first moved in together she was an avid Markiplier watcher, and we watched all of his first? 24 hour stream. At like 3am he opened up probably way more than he wanted to and talked about how he struggles with interpersonal relationships, and how he always ends up pushing people away, as well as his incredibly unhealthy work ethic and I honestly can’t remember the rest but he basically described how he always tries to portray himself very differently from how he is in reality, even in private with friends. Ever since then I can see it where he really does seem to always be playing a character of some sort (and the character definitely does change at times), plus people he’s collabed with and referred to as friends seem to eventually disappear (except for Ethan, he seems to be the one who’s always stuck through it all)

    Basically he’s got some demons that I really hope he’s been able to find healthier ways to cope with
