Who are some YouTubers that you just can't stand and why? - eviltoast

For me its got to be the dude behind Healthygamergg. I just find his advice so ridiculous and just really dislike how he just seems so absolutely certain in what he says.

    I honestly couldn’t name anyone I don’t like because I simply avoid stuff I don’t like. I almost exclusively only watch channels I’m subscribed too.

    Why are you watching people you don’t like? You’re literally giving money and attention to them by watching.

        Probably…

        Maybe it’s because I like problem solving, and his ”tips" (more like buying preferences) don’t actually solve anything. They’re mostly entry level stuff that I already know or something I’m completely not interested in, but he makes it sound like I can’t live without that… whatever it is.

    If they’re a “YouTuber” I hate them. But to be more specific, ANY person that post videos of them watching videos is a fucking asshole.

    MatPat and his prolific reading of bad voiceover scripts. Style Theorists? Really? How many millions of $$ are enough?

    I have a 9 year old. Every YouTube channel is annoying. Rebecca Zamolo is really annoying. The Daily Dose of Internet guy, his voice is pretty annoying. There are tons of people who try to copy Mr. Beast that are just painful to watch.

      My kid is ten. I don’t like most of them, but the ones I hate are the one who punctuate their prosaic Minecraft and Roblox adventures with blood-curdling screams.

  • I don’t know their names; I don’t like them enough to even know that much about them. I either block the channel so I never see it again, or I avoid them by recognizing their thumbnails. Generally it isn’t a single tuber I hate, but a theme or style. Like 90% of gaming videos with their bullshit titles, clickbait thumb nails and complete lack of real content in the videos themselves that post 30+ videos a week.

    Whistlin Diesel is the only person I’ve ever blocked on YouTube. He’s one of those people you just don’t like from the first moment but aren’t sure why.

    This isn’t about “can’t stand” though.

    I recall one YouTuber, whose - I recall - voice dropped on every sentence he spoke that went towards the end of it, and when the sentence finishes, he ended up in pretty much the same voice tune, on every sentence.
    It wasn’t annoying but it bothered me a little nevertheless.

    (No I don’t recall who it was)

      Hate to say, as someone who also hates this very specific thibg, like 25% of them are the same way. I call it the “journalist cadence” because news people do the same thing.

        After some checking I’d say that Chills does what I described but I suspect the voice is different so it might be someone else.
        I didn’t notice the others doing it.

    Pretty much any of them that lean heavily into a redneck personality. Especially if it’s a completely fake redneck personality.

    Whistling diesel, cleetus McFarland, demolition ranch, zipties&biasplies, and hundreds of others whose name I can’t be bothered to remember.

    It’d be far easier to list out the ones I like and why. I hate some because I don’t like the way they speak, what they present, how they present it, and many other things.

    I’m not going to write any more out though. It’d be an essay either way.

    Simon whistler. He actually runs like 2 dozen YouTube channels and he’s basically just a narrator. I can’t stand him because of how confidently he talks in his videos while being egregiously incorrect. Like one example is why Canadians are so “polite”. His explanation was that Canadians had to cooperate and live with the indigenous peoples to survive but if you know a lick of history that could not be fucking further from the truth and is completely idiotic.
