Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17

    They increase views at the cost of credibility. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

          Why do you think that? None of this is new, they’ve been using clickbaity headlines and thumbnails for years and years now.

            Yes but the public perception flipped when the long working hours, pressure to release videos and culture became evident in the recent scandal that ended with 3? apology videos.

              Did it, though? They certainly got called out, but as far as I can see his content is still growing.
