And why did you stop watching them?

I was a Nas Daily fan back then. I just got bored of him over time, not to mention how insanely corporate his videos feel now.

@zachimusprime44 RelaxAlax and ProJared. Sure, they both came with rather flimsy reasons to state that the allegations against them were apparently false, but I didn’t buy them.

Kurzgesagt went hugely downhill, I’ll still watch the occasional video from them, but most of what they do now is super speculative tenuous science with 5 min of sponsored content.

I remember way back in the day I enjoyed laci green for her sex ed content, but she just suddenly went super right wing.

I remember back in high school I watched Sexplanations a lot. Introduced me to a lot of concepts I’ve been using to this day. I think I stopped watching her because I outgrew her channel.

Although I agree Kurzgesagt has gone downhill, I feel like they’ve still beaten the average youtuber lifecycle.

Twenty Sided / Shamus Young 😢

I followed Shamus Young’s blog in 2007, and kept following him long after I dropped every other blogger. I didn’t always agree with him (*cough* Dark Souls *cough*), but his reviews were the best and most in-depth in the business (seriously, his Mass Effect retrospective covers the entire trilogy and is longer than most novels). He had a way with words where even when he was arguing for/against something you hate/love, you’d still be entertained by the read.

His death left a void in my consumption of media criticism. I don’t think anyone I follow is as articulate or entertaining as Shamus was. RIP Shamus.
