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.
The only one that I unsubbed to pretty fast was the 8bit guy. I generally enjoyed his videos and then in one of them, he had a fairly rare IBM PC and for some reason, he sticks a screwdriver into the power supply and blows a component.
But what really turned me off was when footage of him turned up on Reddit, taken by himself, of shopping in a place like Costco with his assault rifle on his back. I think he was taking pleasure in scaring some of the customers too.
(I think I’ve remembered that correctly)
Anyway, never went back to his channel after that.
I still cringe about the moment he used a Dremel on that old prototype because he couldn’t be bothered to get the correct screwdriver
What the fuck
Smashing that unsubscribe button now. Like, fucking ew dude, don’t fucking open carry at Costco you numpty fuck. Ugh…
You make a good point. I should really unsubscribe from all US content.
I remember the backlash he got from that with the IBM PC prototype. He didn’t handle the reception well if I recall, having made one big or two ‘woe is me’ videos.
There’s something about that guy’s demeanor that I never liked, like he fits the quirky, socially inept, wimpy kind of a nerd. It’s astounding he even has a wife at all, much less one he fucked to have a kid with.
He never shuts up about his crappy games too.
Oh, I always sensed something was off there. Oof.
I used to love that channel. Such a shame.
