Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[
], but some suck at statistically significant levels.
A few off the top of my head:
Kurzgesagt is literally a “lets sterilize all africans” gates foundation guy
As soon as I saw Callaghan on that doomscroll podcast I blocked that garbage instantly. No way am I trusting the judgement of a podcast host who invites a known sex pest on. He had already had several guests with really detestable views (Dasha) but someone who admitted to SA shouldn't have a platform.
What is Doomscroll's MO? I keep getting it recommended to me but I never watch it because my podcast backlog is too long as it stands.
It seems like he's a stupidpol guy who wants to reach the kind of people who like Jreg to get them to like social democracy by going against the stereotypical image of a leftist. I gotta say that it was nice at the beginning, the episode with Yung Chomsky was really good. But as it went on it started to acquire more and more of a "we're not like the woke left" vibe (pretty obvious when he invited Dasha, but I never watched that episode).
IIRC he had 
on who kind of pushed back on him being so self-serious
MrBeast
Kurtgefart telling people don't worry catastrophic events that will wipe out most of humanity like a nuclear Holocaust or climate change aren't that bad because stragglers will be left on a broken planet. Happy fucking music playing too. Fuck these people
nah, im gonna try to happy today
Reasonable
it didnt work, thank you for the thread
Mr Beast. Even if he wasn't a horrible shill for capitalism, the vibe of his video thumbnails alone make me want to punch puppies.
I hate SEO face and his is the worst.
CGPGrey is at the very least flirting with "rationalism" and might be the smuggest man in existence His content isn't offensive, he doesn't hurt anyone, and he's not actively a bad guy in any meaningful way that I know of. But you asked for youtubers we dislike for their vibes, so that's my answer.
He actively spreads misinformation, as most of his videos are based on a single source, and he never actually examines how legit the source is. His stuff always "makes sense" and sounds well thought out, but it actively makes its audience dumber, while think they are learning something.
His worst offender is his Americapox videos, in which he literally says Native Americans "are at the bottom of the (video game) tech tree." because their native animals were too hard to domesticate. Treating development of cultures and technology as a linear video game style progression is bad enough, but the source for his pair of videos is "Guns Germs and Steel" a notorious pop-history book that has recieved a lot of negative criticism from historians for its inaccurate and infantilising depictions of native American civilisations, amongst other things, painting the conquest of the Americas as an "us or them" style thing, portraying it as "inevitable" and making absurd and insulting claims about native American groups, like the Inca being too stupid to know what an ambush was, because they didn't have horses.
And when the innacuracies and downright racism of his source was called out, CGPGrey doubled down, instead of admitting fault, first he did the standard youtuber tantrum of "if you don't like it, make your own video/I have more subscribers than you which means I'm right" sort of thing, and then when that didn't work, he declared his videos were a "joke" and he was just trolling historians with them.
Dude claims to be an intellectual, but can't ever admit the possibility that he is wrong or did poor research, in turn I think that means we can't really trust anything he produces. It's the "guy with a vaguely British accent says a thing with authority, so it must be intelligent and correct." sort of content.
I barely even know them, but the Green brothers, specifically Hank Green, are self-important dipshits who are not nearly as smart, funny or influential as they believe they are and i will laugh at their downfall
the guy just looks and sounds like a dweeb and thinks he runs tiktok
Hank green always ruins everything he guests in for me. I don't like his smug face. Whenever he was on lateral with Tom Scott I would just skip it, and I really like lateral.
I have one subscriber and I hate myself
Rick Beato is terminal old man yelling at the clouds about the young’ins not appreciating real music anymore. The poster geezer for toxic rockism.
I love when Emily Hopkins purposefully pronounces his name wrong and then corrects other people when they pronounce it correctly lol
Marques Brownlee – typical tech bro, was speeding in a school zone for one of his videos.
Linus Tech Tips – so many things, but the worst was probably how they treat their employees. Emily is cool though.
Mark Rober – seems like a genuinely awful human being, has a series where he humiliates and catches porch pirates, because obviously the solution to stealing is to lock them all up. Collabs with MrBeast.
theprimagen – AI bro, over the top, loud.
Almost every YouTuber who makes tech-related content tbh.
theprimeagen is loud and annoying, but he's been very loudly and annoyingly AI sceptical imo. Ngl I like a lot of his takes wrt coding, but you just know that mf has terrible politics lol
Basic answer, but... 
I still can’t believe that I used to watch this piece of shit for years. I only stopped because in one of his videos he called trans women disgusting. 
The racism didnt stop you????
Correct, it didn’t. Because this happened before the bridge incident (in 2016 I believe).
I really hate V-tubers. It's just the same old reaction slop but behind a creepy 3D anime girl and with a creepy high pitched voice. And they really love nazism and pedophilia.
I hate Tim Pool. He's just annoyingly stupid and he has a massive audience.
Non political ones, I hate that bald British guy that just does work for a bunch of channels. Annoyingly prevalent all over the platform.
not hate but GDF gives me bad vibes, also i think that guy Half as Interesting is a fed but it's completely vibes based lol
easy to get fed vibes from a lot of "educational youtube" because 100% of their research is reading the natopedia page.
I used to really like Fantano. I still agree with most of his music takes, even though I don't really explore much music most of the time when I hear about something he says I agree with it. He's got good politics AFAIK. But I just kinda don't like his vibe anymore, he's a little too annoying even for me. I'm glad he's around, though, I think a lot of other people in that kind of position where they review a lot of punk/otherwise radical music tend to be more liberal.
as much as I find fantano specifically annoying I just don't think longform talky video is a great format for dealing with music seriously in an interesting way. I'd rather just....listen to the music. the finnerty style "muso dissects bad music" approach is a lot more palatable and even informative at times
garand thumb
theres a related one called 'administrative results' who is even more overtly fascist.
and that brandon herrera guy
Was he one of those shitheads who fantasizes about shooting Black or LGBT people? Seems common with a lot of gun nuts
‘Hate’ is a strong word, and hatred, in my mind, is an exhausting phenomenon. I almost suggested TIKHistory, but as grating, dishonest and overrated as TIK is, I still wouldn’t unexaggeratedly say that I ‘hate’ him. He is obnoxious sometimes, but he does not inspire visceral reactions in me either.
So if I had to say that I hate any YouTubers, it would be The Amazing Atheist. He is so vile, loud, irrational, and obnoxious that he makes TIK look good by comparison.
CW:SA
I hate The Amazing Atheist because of his disgusting book where he says ”I don't understand why women think SA is so bad” and the time he tried to deliberately trigger an SA victim.
TAA was also big into the whole anti-feminism/anti-SJW garbage a decade ago, and fuck everyone who was ever involved in that.
The whole platform. It’s the 21st century’s reinvention of trash tv, but worse. At least in the days of broadcast tv everyone watched the same shitty broadcast so led to a sense of a collective experience and the slop was made by tv production workers in a union.
Nearly all reaction channels because they all turn into nazi lite chuds. They'll be seeing a fucking Confederate say the dumbest shit and they'll be like "hmmm you know he has a point". Its like seeing a person radicalized in realtime. I hate these people with every fiber of my being. I hate how stupid they are and I hate that their audience is every bit as brain dead.
I hate how influential these talentless hacks are and the fact that so many get influenced by them and throw away their weak convictions and just hop on racist dick. I despise how the Poc ones buck their eyes or play to a racial stereotype for their followers anf know exactly what the fuck they're doing but act dumb. I absolutely despise..... Let me not go further it will be fed posting.
MadSeasonShow. I don't actually hate him, but it's funny how brainworms work their way into otherwise "normal" people.
He usually covers WoW, but he did a RuneScape series and he was walking around the farmland with peasant NPCs, and he says they have a collectivist society, and just like communist countries in real life, they're all poor and starving.
And I'm like, dude, they're clearly using a feudalist mode of production. They're literally peasants.
Nigel Ng, Joshua Weissman
Watch one kenji lopez video and your reccos will be full of orange shirt minstrelism and a four eyed fuckhead who thinks playing the pornhub sting beneath a montage of diced heirloom tomatoes is the last word in comedy
oh god that joshua weissman video thumbnail grin. we need that as an emoji, it's at least as iconic and awful as the mr beast death grin
I don't really like any "drama" YouTubers, like Keem, Spill, or Iilluminaughtii. It all seems like low effort slop with literally no value.
The only good gossip happens in-person.
The only ones I really hate are the usual suspects of outrage/culture war chuds whining about the latest woman/poc/etc. in fiction. If I get even a whiff of them in my recommended, I block the whole channel to purify my algorithm.
I don't think I could name a single youtuber. I use youtube primarily for music videos and somewhat rarely "how the fuck do you do this particular thing?" (usually video games).
I don't care for any of them tbh
I noticed that the YouTubers I thought I hated, I just found that their content wasn’t my cup of tea, like I dont actually hate them, my brain just automatically hates them (which speaks more about me but anyway) Do genuinely despise muta and pewdiepie. I have a guilty pleasure for slop channels
i used to like dougdoug but he just make ai slop now :(
other than that i don't engage with things i don't like
and he's a "completed unregulated capitalism will solve all our problems" type, unfortunately. he's still really funny imo tho
i have issues watching ppl with morals i heavily disagree with even if it's entertaining. autism thing ig
