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

AvE. Was cool until pandemic happened, then got extra "conservative". Couldn't watch anymore.

[โ€“] [email protected] 44 points 10 months ago

Yea that fucking sucked, used to absolutely love his boltr videos but then he went political ๐Ÿคฆ

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

Shiiiit i remember. His videos were genuinely fun to watch. It started to go down a bit when he kept ranting about plastic pipes, like it's some wort of conspiracy and copper was the best thing ever. Then covid hit and ooooh boy what an absolute wanker.

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Yeah, basically unsubbed from AvE over this too.

I can't remember who this was, but there was another engineering YouTuber who, during the pandemic, basically twittered about being frustrated with the lockdowns from business perspective and whingled about being scared talking about his political beliefs because apparently being anything anything right of a model leftist is a crucifiable offence in the bird site, according to him. And how the horse paste actually works. I was like "...oh shit, maybe this dude is a magahatter?"

This one made me really sad.

I loved his videos. I learned a lot from the disassembly videos.

Then he went all Covid denier as soon as the pandemic hit. I couldn't watch it anymore

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I thought AvE was a smart guy who got it.

Then he started praising the trucker convoy for being heroes and it shocked the fuck out of me. It honestly bummed me out.

I told my Dad that I couldn't watch AvE anymore and he said, "Well his content has been shit lately anyway."
