Okay, so initially, I didn't want to make this post as I've felt like I've been whining a bit too much about YouTubers and their overrated nature. I watched a few of Joon the King's videos chronicling the rise and fall of certain YouTubers including Shane "pedophile" Dawson, LeafyIshere (aka Calvin Lee Vail), and of course, Ethan "h3h3 Hypocrite" Klein, and I was writing a long tirade again about these loser nobodies, but I deleted that post just now.
But after thinking about it, and after watching more of Joon's video talking about how Ethan had this revenge war against KeemStar the fake news troll, and it's just... so freaking amusing, the idea of these so-called "YouTube celebrities" having their own pointless drama about nothing, how these losers get millions of views and millions of dollars per year just sitting there whining about other YouTubers, having their childish revenge against each other, and this is the kind of stuff that passes for "content" on YouTube. It's like, this is the stuff that makes up a vast majority of YouTube, so you can easily make up your mind whether if YouTube is a pointless platform you shouldn't care about or not.
And it's pretty pathetic, really, these once kings of YouTube now reduced to podcasters because they can no longer bully others with their so-called "commentary videos" making fun of others because YouTube has updated their anti-bully policies about a year or two ago. Now they're just sitting on their butts, doing podcasts nobody care about because who gives a flying freck what you have to say about trending topics, you overrated hack.
Phew. Got a lot of rage in me there, seeing these bloated "celebrities" getting so many views for doing almost nothing productive. It's ironic, people like Ethan Klein ragging on Hollywood celebrities when a large number of Hollywood celebrities don't childishly get revenge on one another for saying the wrong thing. Like, everytime one of these YouTubers makes a critique about another YouTuber, that second YouTuber would create a video insulting back the first YouTuber. It's schoolyard childishness, a "you hit me so I'll hit you" practice. And these clapbacks, these so-called content where they throw back insults, they get millions of views and they earn tons of money per video by basically insulting one another. It's pathetic and a showcase of how toxic YouTube content can be.
Remember when reality TV died out? Well, this is the new reality TV. This is the new dystopia we're living in. This is the new "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", just people being mean to each other and earning tons of money off the drama.
