      My brother finally got me into him like two months before he started going downhill. It was a shocking transition even for a new listener like me.

    Northernlion is all audience interaction now.

    I found him searching super meat boy when he was about 50 videos into the binding of Issac, I couldn’t stand that games themes at the time, but after he posted the hundredth video or so I decided to give it a shot, it was relatively entertaining and very easy to fall asleep to.

    Now he just interacts with his audience, and it’s really not my jive, still subscribed, but haven’t watched a video in probably over a year.

      I remember thinking highly of some of his early content. Like this guy could be a decent educator.

      Now every time I see him, he just comes across as a walking breathing brand rather than an interesting individual.

        This is completely unfounded and I have zero facts to back this up, but he comes off as creepy with kids. It’s just a hunch, but if I had kids, I would not let them near the man.

          I guess the votes so far disagree with you, but I could see your icky feelings coming from the same stuff that I perceive with the “walking brand.”

          Everything is planned and rehearsed. He reminds the viewer repeatedly how he can be trusted. But it still feels like every word was passed through a committee to make sure nothing bad leaks out.

          In my social circles I’m the fun parent that the kids like to play with, and maybe some acquaintances have gotten creepy vibes on occasion, but that’s more a reflection on society at large and how fear and negativity sell news. Nothing that can’t be solved with transparency and consistently just being a decent person.

      Mark Rober lost me with his porch pirate booby traps.

      First of all, booby traps are illegal for a reason. Second of all, a lot of it was staged and it was pretty obvious.

      Yeahh. All the newer videos feel extremely rushed, and low thought. Its sad coming back to it after years.

      Same. I was there when he was small, I cheered when he got bigger. Then the channel started going down a path I didn’t want to follow. Click baity titles with no info were the last straw for me.

        There’s a browser extension to replace click bait by user-generated descriptive titles. I always forget the name tho. It also works with Freetube.

          That doesnt really matter here, I’m against those practices. I would be ok however, if he had a different channel that posted videos without clickbait, which is not the case so… yeah

    Yeah, I had to do that with Nux Taku. The guy made funny videos back in the day, but he slowly became a “Anti-woke” conservative mouthpiece. It’s funny because the video that made me unsubscribe was a video of his saying how another youtuber got cancelled for being too woke.

    This was me with Ethan Klein/H3H3 over the past ~14ish months. Their podcast content used to be lighthearted Internet drama with funny soundbytes, but now the dude is having a major crashout about Gaza after rotting his brain with Israeli state propaganda media coverage. He’s always been an out-of-touch rich asshole, but now he’s so far out of pocket it’s unbearable to watch.
