    PushingUpRoses doesn’t do gaming content much anymore, practically every video she uploads is about Murder She Wrote or sometimes other old daytime TV, and I’m just not into it. If it’s working for her more power to her but I guess I’m her “old audience.”

    Vsauce went from a kinda smarmy gaming channel to that kind of smug “look at a bunch of random smart things that ultimately don’t matter” show, then stopped uploading regular episodes for awhile and instead created some long-form ready for television crap on Youtube Red or whatever that subscription-only service that failed was, and then kinda puttered out.

    The Modern Rogue has done a lot to make it difficult to be a subscriber of theirs, and both the quality and quantity of uploads has gone downhill. They’re apparently still at it, but I dunno man.

    And a whole bunch of 'em just don’t upload anymore.

      Yeah they lost me when they went to pretty much all shorts and the occasional video every month or so. I fucking hate shorts.

        They’d be a lot more tolerable if, like, they released a blooper, an outtake, a side jag, something relevant to the previous or next episode, rather than parts of episodes from years ago. Not sure why they thought that was a good idea.

        Don’t you love the new section of suggested videos beside the player that has shorts now!?!?

          I hate all of it. But most of all I hate how most of my favorite content creators who did long-form educational documentaries and in-depth discussion videos have went to the minute or less format for most of their uploads.

      I see what you’re saying about moving away from smarmy pop culture videos, but the claim that all the “random smart things” ultimately don’t matter is weak when you’re comparing them to topics that literally do not matter at all. I’m not invalidating your example, just pointing something out.
