Critikal's channel is amazing at this. It died like 3 identity deaths.

    It's at its worst now imo. He plays the algorithm so that you can't get the video concept in the preview. You have to click the vid, sit through the ads(unless adblock), and then he spends 2 minutes doing his lead up just making goofy words up to describe the topic to delay mentioning what happened.

    I agree with the thumbnail garbage, that shit is annoying. But the videos themselves have just become whatever he's doing that day. It's like he's terminally online now, he'd stream from the shitter if it wasn't against the ToS. He streams, puts the big clips on his moist Charlie channel, then puts the more interesting stuff on his main channel.

    I don't watch his current content but it was bittersweet seeing the transition from his original style. He mentioned at the time that he had depression during that period and it seemed like the change was a lifestyle one as well; he seemed pretty happy around that time.
