Philip DeFranco. I watched him for over a decade then after covid I started picking one or two stories from the video to read about and I was pretty disappointed by how often it was mispresented. After a bit its obvious its intentional by what's being left out. Even though we still had the same politics I dont want to watch someone who intentionally skews the stories by leaving out key facts. I can arrive at the right conclusion with the whole story.

which is why its so important to get anything you're hearing from multiple sources. cause someone is always going to misrepresent it for their own benefit or bias, and sometimes it may not even be willfully done or even conscious of it, but it will happen
and thats a skill people used to have, until social media destroyed peoples attention spans and desire to make any effort on anything.. now the average person hears their news from a 15 second AI clip and takes it as gospel.

Sadly, Joe Robinnet. Canadian camping dude. He went through some personal issues, which understandably he discussed on the channel. But then every video started becoming some personal jouney story. I'm doing a bad job of explaining it, but the content just became depressing to the point i couldn't watch him anymore.

Pewdiepie, after all the controversies it just pushed us away as we weren’t really comfortable with that even though he was our childhood and got us through a lot. Recently he became more of a family vibe vlogger and personal video stuff which we found really interesting and thought to give him another shot but then he made a server to run ai… Expected brofist fun vibe, instead we got a browhatthefuck?? And it hasn’t been the same. Watch some just for the morbid curiosity but actually started watching Jack septic eye and mariner’s game plays and while they don’t hit as good as the good old days, they’re fine to have in the background or for a game we want to watch but can’t play due to oof brain or not having money for it.
seems like he re-emerged after fleeing to japan , trying to capitalize on the vacuum of youtube drama. he may not be as big, but he seems to want to "Recapture" of the income back in the day with all the glory. its very typical when a western citizen faces controversy for bigotry flees to a country with no history of the drama.
a neo-nazi from the states fled to UK to avoid the pictures of him protesting with white supremecist group back in trumps first term.
