For me it's Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that's sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.

But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.

His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.

So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren't supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.

We didn't subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.

Pretty much any channel once they make it big. I have watched so many channels that just starts out as a person in their basement, or bedroom and make great but simple content. Then they catch on, get a lot of subs and starts making content for the algorithm instead of their existing viewers. They go full time, hire an editor, a cameraman etc. And the content moves further and further away from what made it good to begin with.

A turning point is usually when they quit their dayjob and go full time, that's when the pressure to perform well really begins.

Some exceptions of course, like LGR and Explaining Computers, who just keep chugging along solo. And I still enjoy them because of it.

Is that the right wing religious anti woke weirdo? I know that there are two guys who do similar content, and even have similar names, but i haven't seen them in years.

All of them.

Kurzegast (or however it is spelled). Lot's of copium and straight up denial, e.g. with respect to climate change.
