    Stephanie Sterling. I like her still, I don’t share many of the complaints that other people field. But her content just didn’t really evolve as my preferences did, and after years of the same complaints it felt like not a good use of my time.

    She’s said many times she doesn’t mind dwindling view counts as long as she gets to make content on her own terms, so that’s fair.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    The Young Turks.

    It was annoying me for a while but I had been a paid member for years and watched their whole show every day. I noticed them giving a bit too much ground to the right and Anna swinging too right for my taste but Cenk was still left enough to let it pass.

    I don’t remember what finally convinced me but my yearly subscription was coming up and I just couldn’t see myself watching it anymore so I unsubscribed and cut off my membership.

    I pay for The Majority Report, The Humanist Report, and Kyle Kulinski and those are people I don’t think will be betraying the left.

    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

    I feel like an alien in these comments.

    I… “subscribe” to YouTubers. But I watch videos à la carte, only if the subject seems interesting.

    I don’t follow them.

    I sympathize when they open up about personal stuff mid-video, but that aside I have zero interest in their lives/feed. Why should I? I don’t have a relationship with them.

    So I never had the chance to drop any because I don’t follow them in the first place.


    …Is this a neurodivergence thing?

    I feel like it is.

    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.

    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.
