I am NOT suggesting this guys stop making things since it's just him and he's new, and likely to improve, I'm just calling out what I see.
But I AM caning calling out millions of Youtube generations ago seem to live in a bubble of mediocrity and have no idea what a single person can create, let alone over 15 years ago per my example.
I regularly follow the relevant creator, he definitely still does this and still occasionally talks about it. From the handful of YouTube creators I follow it seems like the problem has only become worse in intervening years.
those videos are crafted to be impressionable and consumable, almost too fast to watch, no time spent to know the protagonists etc. But it also feels terminal, like, there is nothing else after he will have rehashed every major TV trope in 10 minutes. He will certainly bank big and retire soon , this is not a long-term sustainable operation. I don't think he s pointing to any particular direction in entertainment. He's making a soft versions of a squid game, but after that, what?
It strikes me that he doesnt have competition in youtube currently, because nobody else (?) makes videos with somewhat substantial budgeting that feel like TV. So his videos get all the attention among the various podcast/travel/other kinds of slow-paced, monothematic videos. BUT he might start a trend here of big budget youtube productions. This will depend on his margins, but I m not sure that the relatively small payout of youtube will allow such trend
This guy makes free high quality content for random strangers online to enjoy and learn from and you’re unironically accusing him of making the world a worse place?
Spend 1 week doing the work of making free content for strangers online and then you can get on your soapbox about YouTube thumbnails. Until then you just sound like a parasite.
what i found interesting about the channel when i noticed it 2 years ago was that the oldest videos, despite their lackluster video quality, already follow the same procedures and conventions he's still using to this day.
As an amateur YouTuber myself, this is disconcerting. A real video takes quite a lot of effort to do properly, especially if you try to aim for depth.
The guy is obviously smart, but not doing the world a favour. It is similar to what happened to text-based sites when AdSense showed up. I expect that at some point he will be banned, but still...
So he expects people to submit an idea for a chance that it will be made fun of on youtube? Its easy to bash, he should also share which company he thinks was the best.
Engineer Guy drips content so infrequently that he looks visibly older with each new video. Everytime the channel drops a new video I become aware of how old I'm getting.
I have years ago stopped watching his videos. He has long ago discredited himself and should not be promoted.
He should improve his video making skill beyond 2003 and stop making insulting people a core part of his message.
I have no interested in addressing his arguments, whatever they are on SpinLaunch. And I don't want to defend SpinLaunch anyway as it is terrible idea.
No it has no future at all. It's not a technology that is generally important. Now the man himself may have a good career, if he ever decides to stop being a youtuber. But right now he's just a youtuber and that is his revenue stream.
Well you're subscribed to pewdiepie - sounds to me like the recommended videos are right on the money. It's not like pewdiepie's demo is in the 20-28 year bracket.
This guy has been a cut above the hordes of "ranting into camera from my gaming chair" people that have popular channels on Youtube. Shifting from an interesting angle (repair videos w/ discussion) to making predictable rant videos is a step down.
I agree with his self assesment. I liked many of his videos but many I also found disagreable and opinionated without much of a sound argument. Sounds like he doesn't like those videos either. All in all, his videos are heads and shoulders above most of YouTube and I wish him well.
He has been on youtube for nearly 10 years making videos, and as he gained success, he started to work with more and more people to do even more amazing work.
