I don’t want to offend anyone by the term “generic”, but by that term I mean the typical Youtubers who generate the same repetitive content over and over and over and over and over again and it’s usually content that is made with little effort and often with filler, such as unnecessary jokes. For obvious reasons I won’t even mention specific names.
I for example use Youtube exclusively as a learning platform, I can’t say I’m a “fan” of any Youtuber because I’m not really there to watch the weekly/daily video of a content creator, I just jump in and if I want to learn about something I just watch it and that’s it, I don’t get distracted watching anything else.
I hope no one feels offended because it’s not my intention but it really makes me curious how some Youtubers can earn thousands of dollars in donations in streamings where they just play a video game, and when someone donates they don’t even pay attention to it, I don’t even think they need the money.
Sometimes you want to take time to make a nice meal. Sometimes you want to warm up a hot dog in a minute.
I’m an alcoholic and I like putting dumb shit on when I’m drunk
I’m autistic so perhaps I’m more tolerant to repetitive content. I tend to follow reaction and commentary channels because they sorta help me navigate through social situations, and I consider them to be the judges of the situations, especially when they’re well trusted. Being comedic is a bonus.
I think you may be asking to the wrong demographic… I doubt Lemmy’s userbase overlaps much with the following these youtubers have.
But, I might be wrong and/or you may get a reply from someone who knows one of these viewers personally
What are unnecessary jokes? Are there such things as necessary jokes? Have you ever been in a situation where you need a joke? What happened if you didn’t get it?
I think they mean unnecessary in relation to the content of the video. They could also be talking about bad jokes in general.
Bad jokes makes sense. Obviously if a youtuber is telling unfunny jokes you wouldn’t want to watch them.
I don’t really understand unnecessary in relation to the content though, like all jokes are unnecessary, maybe off topic is better?
I feel like a lot of content creators have in jokes though that their normal audience would get that a new person would find random.
