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.
The only ones I really follow are Game Grumps, but only sometimes and I like how they put it when they addressed some criticism - “We’re comedians playing video games, not gamers doing comedy.”
To be honest the only reason I watch moist critical is because his content makes me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. It’s like when your friend is showing you something funny or stupid.
I wonder that about quite many things. I feel like I’m not in the target audience for almost anything new.
I mean there’s not even anything particularly wrong about that stuff. It’s just that I only have so many hours in a day, and there’s plenty interesting content out there for my niche interests, so I don’t want to spend it watching some braind numbing entertainment that’s mostly directed at the “masses”
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.
