The Worst Big Youtubers

[kyuzo3567]

It's not just Youtube. All you need to do is look at cinema and television and you'll see the same thing. Why is it that Jersey Shore gets 7 (or is it 8?) seasons, and yet Firefly gets cancelled before they finish their first?

To be fair Firefly was doomed from the start, it was very difficult to pull audiences in and get them committed when Fox decided to air the episodes out of order besides the fact that they never finished their first season.

....I still miss that show so much

As much as I dislike PewDiePie, he is nowhere near as obnoxious as his goddamn fans.

i love thesw1tcher (or two best friends play) and seananners, theyre just freaking hilarious. Frankieonpcin1080p is also pretty good. robbaz is the best swedish person ever.

i dont mind tobuscus or pewdiepie, ill watch them if i have nothing else to do but thats if i dont have anything to do. same with yogcast, i cant say ive ever hated any youtube personalitys because i know that most of it is an act.

"The *Subjective value* big Youtubers"
If they managed to get the views, they are doing something right. People on this forum need to learn that just because you disagree with something on a subjective level, doesn't make it wrong.

^Thank you for pointing this out.

And to all the people getting angry about this stuff, can't you just let it go and accept that mainstream will always get more than the unknown talent, that's why they're considered mainstream. And if people whom were unkown talents became as big as the 'youtube celebs' then their would be people saying that they are talentless.

This all the way. I don't like lots of Youtubers and do you know what I do? I don't watch their videos. I normally object to the "If you don't like it don't use it." argument, but in this case it actually works.

I like people who understand that youtube is just a gimmick and don't become too absorbed by it. Like Robbaz, Mrroflwaffes, Dose of Buckley.
Despite this I like Yogscast. This may be because I come from the same city as them, but I really like some of their videos as background to my gaming. Apparently they have a huge office block where they do stuff from, my mate tried to get work experience there -.-

 

[Strazdas]

I guess the obviuos one is anything those Smosh guys do.
also, have we all forgotten Justin Bieber came from youtube? That lone is reason enough to clsoe youtube - even a 1% less chance of catching another Bieber Fever is worth it.

there are mainstream youtubers that are still great and dont act like idiots. for example Nigahiga

I like all those things Except Yogscast, but I've never really given them a proper chance...

OT:

Mine will sound cliche, but...
iJustine
RWJ
PewDiePie
Schmoyoho (Used to love them in the Autotune the News days, but now they're very...eh)
Oh, and DSPhilGaming or whatever his channel is now.

However, to try and not sound like a bitter person, Youtubers I love include:

Criken
Jenomorph
TheSw1tcher

The Amazing Atheist (He's a lout with a superiority complex, yet "Doesn't believe in ad hominem". Nice one man, good display of logic. On top of that, he's a sexist jackass, a loud douchebag, and has become the Atheist version of RWJ, who he used to bag out himself.
Ray William Johnson (Though his side-project "Your Favourite Martian" is interesting)
Jenna Marbles (Really doesn't need explaining)
Divine Femitheist (The person who embodies all of those "Crazy Feminist" memes)
VenomfangX (PCFCS)
Laci Green (Pandering and shallow)
EDIT: Oh, and "EpicMealTime". Shit got old faaaaast

I can't really think of any others off the top of my head, mostly because I avoid watching material that annoys me. I don't actually spend that much time watching Let's Plays or such, so I've no idea about gaming ones.

Weird, I could of swore VenomfangX shut his channel down a couple of years ago.

The Yogscast, I can't count how many times they've given their audience for more profitable pastures.

The WoW videos and old Yogpod in which they'd just talk about the weather and prank call their friends were great.
I was okay when they gave the WoW audience the finger to make Shadow of Israphel videos because they were pretty funny and the Yogpod was relatively unchanged.
Then they gave the SoI audience the finger in favour of Minecraft mod spotlights and custom maps.
Last I checked they'd all but replaced Minecraft with Let's Plays.

It's not just that, it's that they are still somehow making Shadow of Israphel and the scripted stupidity drives me insane.

I think they're holding it off because it's the only reason some people still go to their channel... I know it's mine.

Not necessarily. View fraud on YouTube is still pretty rampant, all you really need are auto-refreshing and proxy changing scripts (or a youtube view bot if you're lazy). Hell, there are commercial products (i.e. Tube Increaser) available that do exactly that. Or you could embed multiple copies of the video set to autoplay on popular pages in social networking sites if the owner hasn't disabled html in comments (thankfully, as far as I'm aware of, Facebook doesn't allow this). You could also use fake thumbnails and fill the title or description box with keywords like boobs, sexy asses, kittens, etc. to lure people into viewing your video (Shane Dawson and several other youtube partners are guilty of this), but that more or less falls under trickery than outright fraud.

The point being is that views alone (especially from users that consistently upload videos) aren't really the best thing to judge a video/youtuber by. A better basis might be their number of subscribers, then it's just a matter of taste. Still, I'm willing to bet that many current youtube partners got their start by outright cheating the system this way via inflating their video's number of views to an unreasonable degree to consistently stay on the most viewed page.

It's been said a lot already but I find PewDiePie annoying, not keen on Tobuscus either. I can tolerate sxephill in small doses and Little Kuriboh has been stretching his Marik stuff too far for my personal tastes. They're the only "big youtubers" I have experience with, apart from maybe the vlogbrothers but I like their stuff, scishow, crashcourse etc. I'd also like to mention Quill18 and Kikoskia.

 

[A Homeless Pie]

I used to watch Tobuscus all the time but now he's sold his sold to youtube he's become boring. RWJ also sucks. KSI is my favorite youtuber

 

[Anathrax]

The usual list. I however enjoy the Game Grumps, because they have a lot of interesting(despite it being random) things to say and discuss as well as goofy things that crack me up(Arin don't leave...). Also they speed up the repeated parts from time to time so I don't have to watch every single boring thing all over again.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I don't think I know anyone posted here except for TheAmazingAtheist who I disliked the second I saw him in a video. I've heard of Ray William Johnson, but the thumbnails for his videos alone were enough to give me mild nausea, so I never actually checked them out.

The only channel I follow on Youtube is The Sw1tcher a.k.a. Two Best Friends Play, and they're cool.

Yeah. there was a big thing with Thunderf00t and some other stuff. There was a mess of DMCA claims and takedowns, and blackmail, which all ended weirdly. Still, he earns a place on my list for being that assinine, and that I find he keeps cropping up in other peoples videos, usually because they're ripping him a new one. Kid made my sociopath alarm go crazy.

 

[FFP2]

Probably Retspurae.

Smug, uppity twats. Firm believers in the "if you like this, then I am better than you - but don't worry too much because I was better than you anyway" school of thought. Wasn't at all surprised to learn they were spat out of Something Awful.

Weren't Slowbeef and Diabetus the people that invented the concept of an LP? They can rip on the awful LP'ers they feel like in my books.

For all the "smugness" that they have, just watch their "Adults React to Pewdiepie" vid and you'll understand where they're coming from.

 

[Cheesepower5]

I don't normally go out looking for things to hate, but I guess ShockOfGod is an easy target. Is he big?

Also, I keep hearing about PewDiePie. What is it?

 

[Soods]

The Amazing Atheist, though that one's been kind of obvious ever since Redditgate.

I probably liked one of his videos, but after watching that horrible anti-vegetarian [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUQG9PhDNnk][footnote]Basically claimed that people go vegetarian because they're afraid of x species going extinct while completely ignoring the environmental impact or ethics.[/footnote] video I just can't stand that guy. Also I am not a fan of aggressive personalities, so that's another minus.
OT: Machinima, that channel is just flooding with content, most of which seem rather dumb.

"Just watch" it? I have. I also read his little blog post followup. They were my first exposure to Retspurae. After that I tried watching a bit of their commentary on Tobuscus. Couldn't get very far. The smugness was just... too... overwhelming.

I don't care if they invented the LP. They're cunts.

This guy who screams loudly about rape while playing scary games (well, he used to - he stopped after he figured out he was being ridiculously offensive, and now just screams loudly).

He can be amusing in moderation... lots of moderation.
