LTT. Linus is a whiny out of touch git and all the good content creators have already left

Lewis Rossman.

I have no valid reason for this. I fundamentally agree with the guy on most things for the dozen or so vids I have seen. Right to repair etc etc.

But something about him just comes across as entitled and annoying. Like even if I knew the was right I would want to disagree with him.

Veritasium. Sold out to private equity.

Sabine Hossenfelder, after she went full anti-science, like "and you can trust me because i am a scientist, but not like those other scientists."

I think i stopped watching when she read a fake email to the camera.

Marquees Brownlee 154kmh / 95mph. 3x the speed limit. Absolutely insane

Linus ..

No mentions of MKBHD. Guy had decent reviews of tech stuff, but decides to be a corporative, carfluencing, reckless driving sellout.

Meidas Touch. Clickbait headlines and thumbnails, unrealistically optimistic takes on things. I want information, not bullshit.

I ditch anyone who inserts a bible verse or anything similar into their videos

Or if I find out that they are a conservative

AvE, supporting the truckers "protest"

Grade A Under A, covid restrictions denier

Essential Craftsman - he's an older guy who knows a hell of a lot about carpentry and blacksmith work. He dedicated a ep. to Charlie Kirk I felt like finding our my favorite uncle was in the klan. Noped the hell out of his channel as did a lot of others.

Kurzgesagt: their video some time ago about current state of the world in terms of conflicts and violent deaths was disgusting. It was an apology to do nothing about the genocides occurring in the tone of "OH these things always have happened don't be sad :))"

i dropped Mark Roper when he said he loves his Tesla and plans on buying another. I just can't deal with Nazi fanboys.

Renaissance Periodation. He kept suggesting to his viewers that we should check his facts against Chatgpt. His sex jokes got boring and repetitive.

Mostly, i drop a youtuber when i get bored with their content.

Surprised it has shown up here already but Bon Appetit. I was watching a lot of it over lockdown in 2020, and then at the end of that year the channel blew up thanks to a mass staff exodus due to discrimination.

Any that use AI/LLMs.

Shadiversity. Guy made some really interesting videos breaking down different kinds of historical melee weapons, showing how, when, and why they were used. Genuinely interesting content until he started randomly spewing right wing nonsense a few years ago.

Mark Rober: I don't want my views converted to money that goes to the Mormon cult.

I block any channel as soon as AI slop creeps into their visuals or their scripts. Sometimes I'll do it even if they use AI slop in their thumbnails. I'm just sick to death of AI slop. Fucking HATE the aesthetics of it.

Marquez Brownlee. I lost trust in his sincerity and in his personal life he's an asshole with multiple speeding offenses.

Unbox therapy. Infomercials. The whole influencer thing does not influence me.

Techmoan. I used to be super into his content on old obscure stuff but it fell off a cliff for me a couple years ago. Instantly bored.

AvE when he started getting right wing preachy. Guy had a winning formula and destroyed it.

Electroboom. Similar to techmoan... Booooooring. I don't care about the outlets in whatever country you are visiting this month.

John Oliver. It's too depressing to find out what levels of depravity and corruption the ruling class is up to. I can't handle it anymore.

I used enjoy the critical drinker. But his videos got anti-woke instead of just being critical of bad writing.

The last straw was him on a podcast agreeing with right wingers/maga/fascists.

I blocked him since then. Not sure if he was always like that or just fell down a dark rabbit hole.

A long time ago I watched DistroTube a lot. He made content about Linux and Emacs, just chatting about it into a mic. It was relaxing content.

Then one day he uploaded a video about his gun, why he has a gun and gun rights and shit. He had all sorts of dumb takes, I don't even remember. After that I just couldn't watch him anymore.

I used to watch a lot of fishing/outdoors channels.

during covid all but one of the outdoor channels I watched either did straight up covid denial, or went full mask off on their right wing extremism in general and with crazy conspiracy theories about covid, so I dropped them.

I also dropped bigclive around the same time, because he thought people getting sick from vaping was, iirc, some kind of government hoax or something, while also engaging in the whole "covids just the cold, stop being silly" type of denialism, Which really sucked cause I used to love his content.. but I havent watched since.

CinemaSins - it just became cringe

Good Mythical Morning - too 'producrd' and they started doing gross shit

Mysterious Universe (YouTube and podcast) - They became rightwing antivax, anti-abortion, anti-mask, homophobic, transphobic, racist losers over the course of 2 years after COVID.

The Gaming Historian - he stopped making videos (good for him to stop before it became a chore)

The Escapist - everyone left for Second Wind after they tried to lay off people

Pretty much every gun youtuber. So many of them have MAGA vibes. I used to like garandthumb, but his constant anti lgbt quips in the intros made it too hard to give him views

Crazy Russian Hacker/Taras Kul, videos were really explaining science in an interesting and funny way but now seem like TeleShopping but for useless items.
