>gaming video on YouTube in 2011>6 minutes long, straight to the point, creator expertly articulates every point he wants to make about the game>gaming video on YouTube in 2026>3 hour long essay where the creator just drones on about useless shit to fill time just for the sake of having a long video I'm so sick of this shit. Does anyone still make good short videos?
?!
>How [insert your favorite game series here] helped me realize I'm trans>3.5hrs long
>>739922336Aren't those just speedrunning videos?
There's still people who make videos in under 20 minutes or less Stop watching leftist breadtubers and just fucking block it
>Still listening to illiterate, white collar beggars have to say about games you have played, drowning out your own opinions.>not just talking about games with your friendsYeah, that's gayer than girlcock.
>>739922480nah more gay is watching vtubers play games in your stead
>>739922167le algorithm doesn't favor short videos, it's totally not because they get more ad revenue please understand
>>739922167Hey dumb faggot this board isn't about Youtube videos, it's about video games.
I feel like brutalmoose was the last YouTuber to make good AVGN-style gaming videos, and that son of a bitch retired from games years ago
>>739922638Cry about it you wanna be janny faggot
>>739922565There could not, in any way, be a single adult man on this board who gets his rocks off seeing foids veil themselves as anime girls and fail at games on purpose, right?
>youtube short about some random Pokémon game fact>takes 60 seconds to explain something that should at most take 10>b-roll footage of the game in the background>behind that b-roll, there is a SECOND set of b-roll footage of Minecraft parkour for no reasonShit is seriously baffling
>Video about video game>Random injection of US politics and fucking WW2 politicsVery cool, I'm so glad to know your take of Ronald fucking Reagan and Nazi Germany.>Video about video game>Intentionally scripts in a way to continually mention the fact they have a girlfriend MULTIPLE TIMES.I'm happy you get pussy bud.
>>739922956There was a channel I just dropped dead because the dude went>"MY WIFE"Got it, I am not the target demo. Fuck off to your mortgage and Patreon hoard, then.
>>739922938>bafflingi can sort of explain it, there was a time when i played mmo's but those became boring so instead of just doing something else like a non retarded person would, I would listen to a podcast in the background, eventually the podcasts all became boring and I would be watching netflix at the same time.playing an mmo, listening to podcasts and binge watching netflix all at the same time out of a sort of intellectual laziness of not just finding something better to do. its a wonder i can still talk and wipe my own ass. it's like chasing the dragon in a way, video games just aren't hitting the same so you need to spice em up
>>739922802
>>739922956Everything I have learned of Andrew tate has been against my own will and exclusively in random ass youtube asides that have nothing to do with the content on the video
>>739923405I agree. Even though I am >>739922802 , a post full of projection, cope, and self-awareness.I have a hard time sitting in the silence when I know, at this point, the game is not a life-changing piece of art, just some gap-filling diversion chosen to avoid some more enriching activity which would nonetheless require more energy.
>>739922167Even AVGN videos have gotten pointlessly long. They used to be 10-15 minutes with the occasional one going beyond 20 when it was warranted, but now they're all 25-30 for some reason.
>>739923405>do this with meme podcasts talking about UFOs and ayys>ends up blending into the same shit of vague statements and dancing around the points>the alternative is hearing shills prattling on about inane subjects while doing their best used car salesman impression to hock off some subpar quality goods mid conversation
>>739922167Blame the Jews. They pay creators by watch minutes now.
>>739922167blame the algorithims. Youtube specifically gears people towards long ass essay videos because they cram a fuckton of ads in them.
>>739922167Back in the day you could not even upload videos longer than 10 minutes so you had to work with the formatLater on when this restriction was lifted people realized that making longer videos makes the (now very aggressive) algorithm promote your videos moreLater when you started being able to get money from youtube people started making long videos because long videos = more ads = more moneyAs always, corporate meddling and money are the root if all evil
>four hour long video about all of the save rooms in every game in the series>guy is RPing as a character in the series the entire time
Every video is just ragebait now like this board
>>739922167People who make 3 hour long essay videos only do it for money>>739922271You missed his point
>it's a guy standing in front of a green screen pretending to be in the game >bonus if he's holding one of those fuzzy mics you're supposed to clip on to your shirt and not hold
>>739924091list 100 videos
>>739924367>People who make 3 hour long essay videos only do it for moneyI don't know man. Longman seems to do it out of the love of the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zo-jM_hOxA
>>739924385>the Gen Z styleI mean, when they signpost themselves as know-nothing graduates, I can just move on to find some boomer more on my level.
>>739924394100 is hard, here's 2.
>>739924639Thanks anon.
>click on video thinking it's gonna make a point>realize a couple of minutes in that it's literally just gonna summarize everything that happens in the gameHoly fuck people who do this should be imprisoned for life.
>>739922167You want autism? Oh, I'll give you autism.
>>739922167Hey hey people
>>739924942For me its the "what if goku had aids?" Series
>>739924942Is this what Mexicans watch?
>>739924942I don't keep up with DB, I tried watching Super and stopped after the Beerus fight, because I couldn't handle just how awful it was. Was it a successful series? Did people enjoy it?
>>739924942what the fuck even happens in these videos
>>739924942I like how it’s always>TRAPPED AND BETRAYEDin that order. Like I think the betrayal would naturally come before when he gets trapped
>>739925106It was better than Daima at least imo. The animation quality got better later on, but it was just utter shit around the Golden Freeza fight.
there's no worthwhile content on youtube anymore. nothing but clickbait and walkthroughs disguised as 'documentaries' or critiques. the quality decline applies to practically every video genre, not just gaming.
>>739925317this is a pretty good new channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@eumieverse/videos
>>739925120I randomly clicked on one of those videos, and I just can't even... I cringed out after a minute.https://youtu.be/Fu95cZ1Mvuw?t=9429
w-w-w-w-wait a minute didn't that game only come out a few years ago.....
>>739924942I don't take anyone who worships dragonball seriously.
>>739922167But there are plenty of popular short videos just for you OP.
>>739925998Hot bitches love DB
>>739926227No. Bitches farming for engagement love DB.
>>739922167>30 min videos used to be considered special feature long videostake me the fuck back
>>739925835Anon, even his Mega Man episode is now 10 years old.
>>739925120People get thrown through several rocks
>>739924942I don't know shit about Dragon Ball beyond the OG series, what is this even about? Are these fanfic videos? Lore analysis/theory videos? Why are they all on the exact same topic?
>>739922167https://youtu.be/CbOXVhZK-wEnoodle makes good videos about media in general.
>>739926680Feel free to watch >>739925834
I have friends who will complain about a 2h15m movie being too long, then go on to watch a 4 hour video about youtube drama.
>>739926338Bitches farming for engagement pretend to be interested in things that lonely nerds tend to enjoy. They're selling the idea of being relatable and possibly attainable to men they want nothing to do with irl.
>>739927006ok but why tho.
>>739924639That's actually pretty cool if he dives into architecture and real life analogs, because there are and just lists every house he comes across and patterns seen in them.
>>739927876There's good money in it, because those kinds of men usually don't spend it on anything but themselves. And since they hate themselves, because they cannot attain women, they end up having a lot of disposable income.
>>739928341It's in character reviews of the houses and inns.
>>739922336>Parappa the Rappa broke me
>Gaming YouTuber makes a melodramatic "personal life update" video Nobody cares, faggot. Get a grip.
>YouTuber starts letting their wife/gf getting involved with production.>it turns to shit overnight
>the best game you will NEVER play
>>739928757>Youtuber does a face reveal out of nowherebut why?
>2 hour game "analysis">1.2 of the runtime is the faggot literally just very slowly recapping the game's story
>>739928757Still amazes me how iDubbbbzz threw away his Youtube career and every single shred of respect he made on the internet just for some ugly bitch
>>739923405this is the best I've heard this feeling articulatedI started realizing recently I don't really play games I just want something to do while something plays in the background for me to listen to just to kill time because I'm sure as hell not enjoying it
>>739922167I'm 36 and have never watched a youtuber. I don't understand the appeal of watching autistic people being awkward on camera
>Video creator goes on some random weird story that has no relation to anything what's going on screen
>visit family>don't even connect to his wifi>use my phone to watch a few vids>he doesn't use a youtube account>for some reason his algo gets connected to my algo (which is broken already)>now I have to click uninterested on all the bullshit he's intoIt's not the users. Youtube is just shit.
>>739929970I personally like watching non-autists be comfortable on camera, even better is when non-autists aren't on camera at all.
Making my own 3 hour autism deep dive has given me so much respect and at the same time disdain for the people who do this. This shit is for the fucking birds.
>>739922167>show comments>every comment is a fucking pun battling for updoots
>>739923446Lol
>>739924976Sad what happened to him.Rest in Peace, king.
>>739922167wtf how did he suddenly get more hair?
>>739932098What's it on?
>>739922167What happened to videogame reviews trimming the fat and having a tight, to-the-point script that makes the video 30 minutes long instead of 3 hours?
>>739922167>Does anyone still make good short videos?Yeah, me. Please remember to like and comment for the algorithm! I'm not even asking you some bullshit question like "and what did you think of X? Please let me know in the comments.", I'm being honest :)
>>739933887Ew a woman
>>739922167>gaming video on youtube in 2026>it's just a bunch of fags doing shitty voice impressions over 2-3 hours of twitch highlights
>>739925158means he fucked a trap but he reveled it's actually homo to fuck one
>>739933887What happened
Does anyone else ever get weird youtube reccomendations? Despite me never, EVER clicking on any of them I at least once a day get videos of just random people filming train crossings? I don't understand.
>>739934641Not too often but I'm pretty careful about keeping my watch history clean. I open random youtube links in private windows to avoid cluttering it with random garbage.
>>739922167Youtube was fun when it was just nerdy weirdos making videos for other nerdy weirdos. Once it got bought out by jewgle it became too corporatized and they started implementing all these gay restrictions on content since they were terrified of losing advertisers. Now every video is just glorified Tiktok slop with the quick cuts and over editing and annoying bullshit where it's subtitled and the words appear one at a time.
>>739933936Character analysis on a character from a cancelled game. I'm really trying to avoid the "reads from wiki" trope and sprinkling in some cool relevant topics, but literally every second of extra flavor in the video takes so long to produce. It's made me realize that even those ultra shitty essays are actually really hard to make, yet at the same time I shudder to imagine the type of person who'd do this more than once while covering the most retarded subjects imaginable.
>>739934576he died of ligma
>>739934641The less that 100 view shit that I get recommended is truly baffling to me. It's almost entirely made up of topics I actually dislike.I have absolutely no interest in capeshit. I do not care about Tim Burton, or movies in general. The Sonic recommendation is just YouTube insulting me. No opinion on romhacking or Azumanga Daioh.I like Crash Team Racing, but only the original PS1 game.
>>739934808>words appear one at a timehow do zoom zooms read that shit? i don't fucking get it
>>739922454>everyone who makes 3 hours videos is a leftistthis board gets stupider every day
>>739935021What's ligma?
>>739934989Doing actual research and not just regurgitating Wikis is genuinely hard, no matter what the subject. It also doesn't help that you're making a video on something that never came out. You can't even access the source material. I wish you the best of luck and hope you're both able to produce something you're happy with, and get views from it.
Reminder that Old AVGN ended with Bible Games 3 (Ep 106) and Nu AVGN began with Schwarzenegger Games (Ep 107). He went to film the movie in Cali and his acting style changed.
>>739922167i'm 35 years old, if a youtube video starts with someone talking with a facecam, i press back and look for another video
>some fat mentally ill bitch with piercings and heavy makeup>dweeb greenscreening himself into the video and holding a mic>absolute charisma blackhole insisting on pausing the video every minute just to show his face and poorly describe what just happened while giving his thoughts in a low IQ manner>obvious tranny hiding behind the avatar of a furry/animu girlYuck
>>739935520I appreciate the kind words. The issue is that the research and everything else is done. It's the editing process that is painstaking and soul sucking, yet I'm in way too deep to not see this through. I expect no views, but I'll be so happy to be done and free to play video games again. Plus, I haven't felt motivation like this in a long time and I think that's what it's really all about in the end.
>>739935317I believe YouTube is doing that to try and give attention to smaller users
>2000s angry reviewer does a collab>KoopaTroopaBro1984?!!? What are YOU doing here?>Hard cut to a lower quality laptop webcam with a yellow piss filter>obese faggot in a fedora sitting on his bed in apartment bedroom>long pause before finally shouting “I CAME BACK IN TIME TO STOP YOU FROM WATCHING ELMO IN GROUCHLAND! IF YOU DO THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ENDS!”
>>739935970soul
>>739935970>Well, I’d ask how you achieved time dilation, Koopa, but you are a timelord after all…
>>739929796They also have to give you a history of the game and it's developers which you don't care about and will immediately forget. I decided never to watch these long videos again after giving one of them a chance and they are treating their videos like they have a minimum word count like they're writing a school essay.
>>739935970I liked when they had an evil version of themselves and it's just them dressed in dark clothes and they are better dressed than they normally are.
>>739935895Would you mind telling me what your channel's name is, or maybe a clue to what you'll title the video? I feel that you may be playing your cards close to chest out of concern it may never come out, but I'd really like to see the video if it does come out, even if it may not be something I'm terribly interested in.
>>739924942
>>739924367>You missed his pointThe point is that people are still making short gaming videos and that the OP is a blowhard for bitching about nothing
>>739922956>dude clearly has some sort of thick european accent>goes on a tangent about American Politics for no reasonliterally why do they do this
>Video about Bibolo's Happy Quirky Adventure for the PS1>Zoomer faggot claims that the game is "liminal", reminds him of a "dead mmo" and fills him with dread>Boss is some big guy who says "Har har har! I will eat you, Bibolo! Har har har!">Zoomer goes "Holy SHIT!!! I'm sure this boss gave every kid who played this trauma for life!!! How did this game get such a low age rating?!"
>>739935895>>739936382Or if you'd like, copy and keep this code: 3612832303161901077295549When you upload the video, paste it into the description. I'll have a look every now and then to see if anything has been uploaded with that code.
>>739925158I remember reading something about this in a Bible translationJacob's wife, Rachel I think, is old and barren, but God steps in to let her have a kid again, the line goes something like this>she conceived, and was made fertile againnow logically you'd write it chronologically, where she is first made fertile, and then she is spunked inside and impregnated, and THEN conceives a kid, but the way it's written makes the conception come first, as to put more emphasis and importance on the "conceive" portion of it. It's not so important that she was made fertile than that she had a kid, so the fact she had a kid comes first in the sentence.There's some sort of linguistic terminology for this concept, but I can't remember what it's called. I think it's literally just called "Fronting" or something vague like thatSo in this situation, the Trapped part is more important than the betrayal part. Which is equally confusing, because you'd think the betrayal is more important than the trapping, but whatever. Maybe it's a mexican grammar thing
>>739935453I think it was some kinda disease that spread around Sawcon
>>739935854>>dweeb greenscreening himself into the video and holding a micAdd "explains something that just happened or a game mechanic" like explaining it with the dweeb's mug makes it any more interesting than without greenscreening himself in the video
>>739935895most people just hire an editor
>>739935854>pausing the video every minute just to show his faceI fucking hate these niggers so goddamn muchanyone who shows their ugly fucking mug or their equally retarded vtuber avatar needs to go die immediately
>>739922167The angry nerd did that all the time. His "reviews" routinely ran over an hour. Still does this shit to this day.
>>739936382Thumbnail is done and will look kinda similar to the pic on the left here. I wasn't trying to hide it or anything lol. I will finish it if it kills me. >>739937061I'll try and remember to do this too, but as a conservative estimate it may be like 2 weeks from completion still.>>739937246Gotta be worth every penny.
>>739922480White collar beggars? What do you mean?
>>739922167Blame the change in Jewtube's algorithm; after years of LPers exploiting the quick-uploads glitch, now videos' length is factored favorably for sidebar recommendations, so everyone is jumping into making those instead
>>739936767Because American politics impacts people globally via gas price costs and tariffs?
>>739936767>non-american talks about "my childhood" in ways that obviously aren't trueNo, Frenchie, you didn't play Chrono Trigger on the SNES in the 90s.
>>739935970Pure and refined kino.
>>7399222713-20 minutes is the worst time range because it still gives you a shit ton of those clickbaity 10-minute slop videos
It all boils down to people with Bethesda Derangement Syndrome. Literally every single problem with modern gaming, modern video game commentary and critique, can all be traced back to this singular community of mentally deranged nutjobs. I'm not even joking.
>>739922167>8 hours long video>just narrates whatever happens in the game, with a sprinkle of stale memes
>>739927876Money. Given the demographic uncertainty and the loneliness epidemic there is now an open market that is primed for exploitation. Get in before AI and robots corner and start laying down monopolies at the industrial level.
>>739935970>this is what zoomers think old yt videos looked likenoone besides tgwtg/channelawesome did this shit.
>>739922167>>gaming video on YouTube in 2011 >>6 minutes long, straight to the point, creator expertly articulates every point he wants to make about the game Nah, there was an additional pointless fight between the reviewer and an evil version of him.

>>739922167It’s not like the old videos you liked are gone, there are literally chronological AVGN, NC/Linkara playlists, it’s literally still there you fucking retard. Ancientfags have the object permanence of fucking goldfish. They think that just because something happened in the past that it just straight up does not exist. Clearly a bunch of faggots that haven’t visited pop pop in hospice. You know what old people watch? The same fucking shit they have been for 40 goddamn years.

>>739922167>gaming video on YouTube in 2011>6 minutes longThat's not enough time for me to eat dinner.
>>739922271The YouTube algorithm changed from clicks to 10min viewer time to average view timeThis is why grifters shifted from millions of 1 min shorts to 10 min EXACTLY garbage to 4-5 hours of rambling shitYou are the retard if you watch this. It's simply gaming the algorithm
>>739935427no wonder it's also getting more right wing
>>739924509>17 and a half fucking hoursWhat the actual fuck? You can say everything you need to about this game in at most 2-3 hours and that's on the extreme side.
>>739922167It's all worthless slop is the unfortunate reality. i waned myself off of digital slop by buying a physical lock for my phone. If you detox like this you'll realize you don't need any of this shit.
>>739923587>the game is not a life-changing piece of art, just some gap-filling diversion chosen to avoid some more enriching activity which would nonetheless require more energy.Gaming is the single most anti art media created. Very few games are made to make the player feel something, they are just products, designed to make you spend more and more money.In a few years, all games will be gacha, if they aren't already.

>>739928757>Youtuber starts doing drugs and becomes homeless
>>739922167>HOW X BREAKS YOU>X BROKE ME>X IS BROKEN>CAN X BE BROKEN?>it's just two hours of poorly commentated boring gameplaySeriously though why does the algorithm love the word "broken" and its other forms so much
>>739944180The algorithm is broken.
>>739922167I know of a few good channels but I am going to choose to gatekeep as only /v/ can ruin something as wholesome as an old women enjoying the Disgaea series for example. This board don't deserve nice things. I want to encourage the good folks by not letting you assholes all over them. I'll let you guys have my leftovers though https://www.youtube.com/@gameboylad as I am pretty sure this channel is dead anyway. But yea if anyone here is smart they would know to not share any channels that is actively doing things.

>>739943402It's funny, despite wanting to focus so much on games, my favorite videos from Caddy are his british nursery rhyme VHS reviews.
>>739945348Who the fuck started this meme? No, zoomgroid, nobody wants to see your flabby dadbod at 23, your corny pedo stache, or your brown mutt skin, we want to see the GAME show us the VIDEO GAME. Are they too poor to afford a normal mic? I legit have never known anybody that likes that setup, so who the hell is the intended audience?
>>739945312Not vidya, but i'm genuinely concerned that this is gonna be the fate of Rank10YGO, him occasionally crossdressing and having Amanda from LWA as his avatar is already a big red flag. Doesn't help that his best buddy Jimbles is married/engaged to a troon.
>>739945569>I legit have never known anybody that likes that setup, so who the hell is the intended audience?For some reason youtubers have this mindset where they think people want to watch some dickhead talking about game mechanics infront of a greenscreen while holding a microphone. Just demonstrate the game mechanic(s) via gameplay instead of just pausing the footage to show your fucking face to explain what the thing does
>>739924091I remember watching a video about fallout locations that did this around 2012. The guy had machinima footage of his character talking to camera like it was reality TV or something.
>>739922167I’m not going to watch a 6 minute long video. I’m not going to watch a 7, 8, or 9 minute long video. I need something long enough that I can let it play in the background while I’m busy with the miserable aspects of my adult life.
>>739945586I rate his odds 50/50.He is/was a big 4channer so he either hates the troons and thinks they're a poison, or he 'fake hates' them while getting groomed by discord and his mentally ill friends with no inbetween. He's very smart and autistic, which means he has much lower grooming res than normal people. Yeah idk anon, I could see it happening.
>pauses every 5 minutes and 'apologizes' for making a bad pun and to tell the editor to remove it in post
Most of complaints on this thread are made by people who spend all their day watching youtube and get tired of the tropes.
>>739946112Who else would have an hour or more of their free time to watch this garbage
>>739945685That's what I'm saying though. Since literally nobody likes seeing the uggo zoomers talk when they'd rather see the game, how did that meme video format get popularized? It's like if shooting yourself in the head with a shotgun somehow became the sick new astroturfed meme, it couldn't last long because the only people that tried to spread it had their channel die because nobody wants to see that shit. If EVERYONE hates seeing fat zoomers sit in front of a greenscreen, how did it spread so much? Unsuccessful strategies rarely spread, y'know what I'm saying?
>>739946238These apparently do:>>739946070>>739945348>>739943402>>739935970

>>739922336In all seriousness, what is it with people who make these video essays and trooning out? It happens like clockwork.
Did anyone here used to watch any of the angry video game reviewers from the late 2000s that were spawned by AVGN?
>>739948581Unironically autism

>>739948649https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PyVFYLZTmsThis is legendary>Open dohr
I remember when I used to think 20 minutes was an absurdly long video. Now I'm happy and shocked if the video is under 30 mins.
I’m genuinely curious if one day AVGN and Nostalgia Critic type videos will come back in vogue again. I’m sure people will eventually get sick of the long video essay format.>>739946929He unironically had a better theme than the AVGN.
>>739947037>protonjonJesus...
I'd like to start making videos as a hobby, but you faggots are insufferable
>>739946802Back then Youtubers drew inspiration from TV, so they had intros and theme songs. Nobody watches cable anymore, so new Youtubers don't design their videos like TV shows anymore.
>>739924976In the end they all get watered down. His new stuff is so damn lackluster, not even worth for 2nd monitor content for ADHD fags.
>>739949130I remember when YouTube videos could only be up to 10 minutes long.
>>739949640I've heard that he stopped writing his videos a few years ago.
>>739949640He can't steal from /v/ anymore because of how boring /v/ is these days
>>739949484That reminds me of how YouTubers used to all be obsessed with making "THE MOVIE", now no one cares about that either.
>>739949824>stuckmann movie>markiplier movie???
>>739922167damn, AVGN is that old now=
>>739949950no its fake, he still has hair in that
>>739947037I can only imagine it's disproportionate because exhibitionist attention seeking weirdos are bound to both try to be YouTubers and be crossdressers. They get further emboldened by the whole tranny movement thing
>>739922167>Video about a specific thing relating to (Game)>8-20 minutes long>First 25% of the video is just explaining what (Game) is, the video's creator saying "h-hey this is just my opinion, m-man", an ad for some scam shit, et cetera>After that point, the video is alright and makes its point well enough, but you could remove the first part and nothing would be lostWhy is this so common?
>>739922167>Does anyone still make good short videos?No. No youtuber or eceleb ever made good videos you literal disease
BUT FIRST - A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
>>739950178Because it's content for npcs
>>739949904I forgot Markiplier made a movie, but what I was thinking of is that ages ago, I remember a lot of review YouTubers like Armake21, Spoony, etc wanting to make big movie versions of their review videos, sort of like the AVGN movie.
Very well, then how do you make good videos according to /v/?
>>739950312Vtuber with huge titties and man voice
>>739950312If they knew how to do it, they would be doing it
>>739948649>OH SHIT>LIIIIIIOOOOOOONNNNNNN
You faggots sure know every single detail about these shitty videos.You're not fooling anyone.
>>739950312https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wivEnuubViE
>I survived 100 hours in [100 hour long JRPG]
>>739922167There were plenty of terrible videos on youtube in 2011. You only remember the good ones.
>>739950178>the video's creator saying "h-hey this is just my opinion, m-man"This particular one is so they can pre-emptively shield themselves from drama channels by passing themselves off as just some wholesome guy with an opinion. Should they make a massive fuck up, or if opinions shift after they make the video, they've got a line of defence.If they open up with both barrels from the get go it's far easier for some drama whore to zero in on them.
>>739950650Even the bad ones had soul because they were doing it for the love of the game or their passion. These days it's all soulless videos for a paycheck.
>>739950804Yeah I feel like before 2013, people had no idea how much money they could make from being a streamer
>>739950804Even back then I remember there being some drama about some YouTuber making videos about the 2011 Japanese earthquake just to get views.
>[game] analysis/retrospective>it's some faggot reading a plot summary from a wiki
>>739950312https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukhzo9OIL8
>>739950804These content creators have always done it for profit, you zoomer faggot.If anything, it was even worse back then because people got revenue whenever someone clicked their video. You didn't even have to sit through it. That is what started the reply girl plague.
>>739949904Making your own indie movie about something unrelated to your brand is different from doing what Fred and the AVGN did.
>>739922167>youtube video in 2026>title: THING just happened>doesn’t actually talk about THING until 80% of the video is overI fucking hate this shit, it's literally just click/view baiting.
For me it's ninomae ina'nis
>>739922167I just want to watch a funny guy playing Bust-a-groove for the first time, but all I find is garbage.
>VHS_stop.mp3
>>739922167If you're clicking on the 3 hour videos instead of sticking with trusted kino like The Infinite Review then that's on you
>>739935531If that episode is at least 10 years old or more then yeah I agree.
>>739951342Based patritianE3 soon lad
>>739951497Kind of blows my mind how many times I hear people complain about nothing good on youtube anymore and when I recommend the infinite review they've never even heard of it. I swear these guys have been subbed to AVGN for 20 years and just hit refresh every day and think there's nothing else
>>739951609Wouldn't even surprise me considering we regularly get threads lamenting unfinished lets plays from over half a decade ago.
>>739951609Same shit with people who say modern music is shit.You have the whole Internet at your fingertips yet you refuse to search for things you like.

>>739951949but I like general sam
>>739950998Almost all analysis videos are targeted at people who’ve never played the game it’s hilarious
>>739922167Lonely Goomba for funny haha game reviews, even if his vids usually are longer nowadays. One of few who still holds up after over a decade, when he isn't a lazy fucking NIGGER and actually uploads.Strafefox for ~20 minute "documentaries".>>739922956>>739923196So many retards who do muh politics references or always has to bring up >MY WIFE, who isn't a gamer and doesn't care about his hobbies and thus is not relevant, yet has to be mentioned all the time, because she just has to okay??These plus zoomer holding microphone is just an instant drop now.>>739935970Holy fvcking sovl, take me back.
>>739953203This is brand new information, thank you for sharing.
>>739953203This is true and I appreciate the format because I only bother to watch analysis videos of games I know I'm never gonna play, like Haunting Grounds or Rule of Rose.
>>739935970Link?
>not blocking all vidya-doccyslop and listen to comfy OST channels insteadI shiggy my diggy
>>739935970"Lore" for vidya reviewers was one of the more retarded moments.
>>739924091I remember a video where the guy was doing an LP of Pokemon Black or White and at one point he froze time and started having a conversation with the female player character, wish I could find it again.>>739932098Godspeed. I'd love to actually make a video but I just have no idea what to make it on.
>find a youtuber who make interesting, entertaining, well-made videos>either only a uploads once in a blue moon or randomly goes on a massive hiatusThis has happened to me three times this year.
>>739928341even then it would not need to be 3 hours. an actual architect could go in-depth on the architecture of the inns of oblivion in the span on 45 min tops. the thing that annoys me about these videos is that they are always made by irrelevant dudes with no formal knowledge or education on the subject. they are just vibes or wikipedia "research" where they just summarize shit and throw out terms they learned last week about shit. i would only be interested in hearing about the "architecture of dark souls" or whatever if it came from an actual architect with experience in historical european architecture
>>739953539Why do you care about analysis of a game you’ve never played when you’ll have no idea if the guy is bullshitting?
>>739946046>He's very smart and autistic, which means he has much lower grooming res than normal peoplefucking kek
>>739954000Why do you care about the guy caring?
>>739922167>watching men on youtube talk about videogamesKill yourself.
>>739926930because its not the length but the substance and degree of engagement that the piece of media in question demands of the consumer. a film requires a lot more attention and effort than passively listening to a youtube video about some boring shitty content while doing something else
>>739954000Analysis by definition is interpretation so who cares about whether the opinion is accurate or not
>>739952881YWNBAW
>>739928475PaRapper the Raper
>>739937748Jewtube's algorithm rewards what keeps people on the platform. Google doesn't care if you watch good content or bad content, Google cares that the content you watch keeps you on the website and watching ads.Like always, the real problem is people: Everyone wants 4 hours of background noise that leaves no impact on you whatsoever and that never makes it to your long term memory. We have to research why that is because it's worrying.

Where did the good video essayists go
>>739954083There is a right and wrong way to do analysis, some faggot’s opinion is not automatically analysis
>>739952560It's safe. You can still argue that "some men do it". You didn't paint them pink, so it's fine. It's manly. You just wanted to try it out. It's just a small joke, really. Doesn't mean anything. You just find it funny when people make assumptions based on it, that's all.
>>739951342The Infinite Review and Matthewmatosis are the only good channels and Matt quit. Damn shame.
>>739922271>>739954464You can't even search videos by "Newest first" anymore for some reason

>>739922365Kek
Don't care if someone is trans, if they want to larp as a girl that's their business, but I struggle to enjoy tranny content just because they're always the exact same insecure, snarky, terminally online "oof yikes oomphie idk lol omg what even is this who even cares" and they talk about nothing other than every single shit 6/10 videogame from 20 years ago being SECRETLY a masterpiece if you hyperfocus on one thing, see it through a particular "lens" and ignore how bad it is to actually play
I refuse to watch any video where the presenter puts their face in the thumbnail.

>>739948649Unironically I only ever watched AVGN, I've seen the rare video from like JonTron and AngryJoe but I never bothered subbing to them.>>739949247If someone could actually ape the acting in classic AVGN videos I think it'd could gain some popularity. People making fake reviews with old clips of James can somehow make fun videos. It's all about being able to shoot interesting shots & being able to voice act them into something that's like 10 minutes max. Also make a point to it being a character instead of just being genuinely retarded.
>>739922956Most youtubers are ex-writers of American shows. Videos are designed for have guests, political or pop cultural referenced and ends with someone breaking character. The average Joe never follow this guidelines, only if the youtuber has a previous career creating, writing, and starring in television and film.
>>739954810brown ass tranny lover

>>739948214>>739948287on the old internet, the attitude towards criticising media was different. for the first time in human history you could just download shit instantly. you didn't have to go to a rental to get movies, or to a bookstore/library to get books, you could get all of that in one night, it was insane. everyone on the old internet was pirating stuff. this meant that criticizing movies was basically shitting on free things. it's like, what kind of jackass would look at the unplowed fields of the internet with their infinite potential and think "hmm yes what this needs is my gayass opinion on a movie noone remembers".so they put in skits and extra effort so the atmosphere of the video was more "at least he's trying".i vastly prefer it to essaysloppa with fucking nothing going on ever

Once upon a time it was shocking to see anything past 10-11 minutes long, nowadays it doesn't seem to be an issue. Don't know if it's tied to sub count nowadays or if you freely get the option to upload whatever you want from the get go.Another note is it's far easier to ramble on and basically just retell the game's story over actually condensing your thoughts in a thoughtful matter. But people also use these for background noise, so sort of the point is to make them long so you don't have to hunt down different videos while you do something else.
>>739947037It was the logical way to "re-invent" yourself at the time, and also attain the coveted minority status. Of course, they didn't think of what the long-term consequences would be.
>>739950998>still gets something wrong>makes you wonder if they even played the game
>>739923405its addiction anon>video games just aren't hitting the same so you need to spice em upThis is how drugaddicts/alcoholics talk
>>739924942Still less autistic than these
>>739950312You make a challenge run that sells this idea of you figuratively smacking a sledgehammer into your balls repeatedly.Even if the run itself isn't that hard you have to actually present it like this insurmountable challenge and make a theatrical and entertaining big song and dance at how after hours of clever thinking and determination you finally got over a difficult part of the run. I'm a huge sucker for that shit.
Do dislikes do anything? i need to spread my hatred
>>739954428I remember one day thinking about trying to make a video that would hopefully bring popularity to a game because it just sounded like a fun side project, then I realized this is the eventual end to it. I would just rather enjoy obscure vidya that only a handful of people enjoy and discuss over having a "modern" fanbase.
>>739965206It helps that seer is actually funny. I stayed for his crude but lyrical way of presenting dreadful situations.
>>739962341The problem: Black people
>>739922167You could beat this game 8 times in a day and it would take less than watching this video.
>>739965303Seer has made me bust a gut multiple times because he’s got the most eloquent way of saying the most low brow caveman shit I’ve ever heard
>>739950312>No shitty intros>No "what's up YouTube?! I'm Pingas666!">Videos go always straight to the point.>Soothing voice>no reddit humour>Explains everything extremely well>As soon as everything that needs to be explained is explained, the video abruptly ends. No outros, no "don't forget to like and subscribe", no bullshit.
>>739949267>protroonjonNOOOOOOO
>>739965303Even they're not particularly funny just an interesting plot around your challenge run will suffice.I've never touched a single FNAF game. There's this guy called Bones who does challenge runs of modded fnaf games or fangames. I don't particularly like his humor, his live reaction clips(especially the ones with his college roommate looking confused at him) or his animations but it's still really interesting watching high skill footage of a game where a 9 year old girl shines a barely functional flashlight into the eyes of like 6 monsters.>>739965403Steak dins. On the good. Mighty man meals.
>>739922167>>739924367It was always for money it's just that the algorithm changed. It was always for money. Maybe some people back in the day had a genuine interest in doing it for money but it was still something they did because ultimately they wanted success out of it.
>>739953789That's the price of quality.
Does anyone remember the old YouTube ranting community? When it was not only AVGN, but also Irate Gamer, Nostalgia Critic, TheArchfiend, Undertakerfreak1127, Silent Rob, Darknessthecurse, Armake21, WrestlingJesus, Gaming Goose, Spax3, Ashens, etc.
THIS GAME FUCKIN SUCKS AND SUCKIN FUCKS!! … and i don’t like it!
>It's morally right for your character to be devoured by the ultrademon because you chose to escape from the crumbling station.>But it's totally ok for the tranny that was a part of the team that unleashed the ultrademon to get away because trans trauma and such.
>>739965403I'm afraid I have to dislike Seer because my autist friend insisted our group watch a 2.5 hour video of him wasting time and being crude, we didn't do it, and he threw an emotional tantrum about other things, but because we didn't want to do that. He admitted that's what he was doing, for clarification, in case we didn't get it.Like it's not bad but man that really colored my perception of him negatively.
>>739965260nah. even swearing is shadowbanned. the meta is to use emoji’s to leave a mean comment. but ah, it doesnt hit the same as rating 0/5 stars and calling the guy in the video a fuckin ugly retard, then posting the ascii art middle finger
>>739938570And yet they all continue to pretend that they don't actually care because americans are big doodooheads or something
>>739963057Motherfucker if you're bitching about being halfway through a three hour video and finding the narrator is being cringe then I think you need to evaluate what you're doing with your time.
>>739954489Whitelight is the only one left
>>739960916>any austinHe's literally the least charismatic and most boring person I've ever seen in my life. He's not funny, creative, interesting, or, fuck man he's not really anything, he's just a gray rock. How did that dweeb get vids with millions of views? Jewish connections or bots?
>AvatarTuber is the only one of his kind that isn't cringeworthy.
>>739967231>what is skipping ahead in a video
>>739966936I think everyone on earth has at least one solid reason to hate America.
How am I supposed to make a video if (you) complain about everything? There aren't any new video styles left
>>739945586And it's all because a random dude made a joke about him looking like a femboy, mind you that he's the furthest thing from that, he's literally a ugly, obese goblino with a lisp that sounds nerdy rather than gay.Trannies WISH they could groom this effectively, a single random comment is going to make a man crossdress, cut his dick off, get on harmful medicine and then kill himself in record time.
>>739935970HOLY SOVL
>tuber is christian and says a little prayer for his viewers at the end of the videoWhy do I think this is so based even though I'm not really fond of religion
>>739948214Back in the day everyone didnt have a magic pocket rectangle that recorded high quality audio and video on top of the 4000 other magic abilities of the magic rectangle. Generally, if you had a quality audio/video recording setup it was because you were pretty deep in as a film hobbyist. These youtube videos were experimental short films foremost, with the video game review as a subject matter.
>>739924091>that one guy whose channel is dedicated to videogame bathrooms>it's not a fetish about human waste, he enjoys seeing working tubs/showers in games and stands under them if he canI actually told him about a pretty neat one in dead space 3, the very first sidequest takes you to an abandoned ship and there's a hot shower running in one of the rooms, if you stand under it the water actually warps around isaac instead of passing through him, which is weird because this is literally the only time you're going to see water in the game, it mostly takes place in a frozen planet. They coded physics for it just for this one room.
>>739945312>games for this feel?Ocarina of Time on the iQue.

>>739966253I remember watching Armake21 before AVGN and thought AVGN was a ripoff. Kinda lost respect for him when he took Chad Warden's videos seriously and made these big ass rants about them.
>>739951949>female youtuber talking into tiny handheld microphone held 4 inches away from their mouth with three fingertips for the entire 30 minute video
>>739924942my friend's barely functioning autistic sister watches this stuff
>>739929924That ugly bitch took his virginity, pairbonding is not just a woman thing.
>>739922167You're preaching to the choir. The only channel that makes good 1 hour+ videos about video games is Running Shine, everything else is a low-T snoozefest.
>>739922167I won't deny that they suck ass today, but even back then it was mostly awful skits that have aged like milk in terms of entertainment value and a summary of extremely basic information you can find out about a game from its Wikipedia page. Only in more recent times have yootoobers tried to provide more substantive critique of games and have failed miserabley because, if making videos about video games is your """"job"""", then 9 times out of 10 you have 0 life experience and are incredibly uncultured with very little critical thinking skills.
>>739946802For better or worse that shit got old and stale and was delegated to the third world userbase
>>739951949Maybe I'm getting old, but this format makes me irrationally angry for some reason. If I click on a video, and I see the uploader holding the microphone, I just instantly click off. It's the new version of 50Yface thumbnails.
>>739943672I wonder how much shorter the video would be if you cut out all the bugs/weird shit clown music compilations. A considerable part of the video is that. It's funny, but it gets old fast.
>>739926121Burns my eyes.But no wonder my videos get 0 views if that's the norm of thumbnails for normal people.>post channelNo.
>>739969041>used to watch Armake21 as well>tfw he's actually dead now
>>739968113Pick a lane then nigga, either openly hate or genuinely not care by, yknow, not bitching.
>>739968937Care to break this down for those of use without schizophrenia?
>>739966253Silent Rob is one of the most naturally funny people I have ever come across, but fucking hell, his fall from grace and complete crashout are the stuff of nightmares. He makes Spoony look sensible and well-adjusted by comparison.
>>739922167The algorithm demands it. Also if you weren't grandfathered in you need a lot of money to buy the right for 10+ minute videos, so making a manifesto on youtube is a show of status.
>>739949267More like, Pronounjon
>>739971001not sure what you dont understand. do you not think that tech companies arent making billions of ragebait engagement? its a huge part of the data economy. political polarization is hugely profitable. have you been under a rock the past 15 years?
>>739951609Shortly it's just about how YT HATES small channels.Everything below 10k (or even 100k) subs is the "hyper-autismo-range" to the algorithm. You will not get them suggested unless the algorithm saw you going in on the topic so many times that by the time it actually decides that you're hyper into it enough to get suggested small channel's content on it you're actually bored with the topic already.Everything below 1k is effectively unlisted from YT. Recently they tried to push small videos a little more but it seems that they are doing it without any strategy, just anything to anyone, and around 80% of what it gives me is AI generated (and therefore reported for spam) anyway.Both 10 times worse if your channel isn't just one thing or even better just one game, but actually many different topics, like a review channel.
>>739971187Watched a video from 2007, protonjon guest starred and sounded happy. I dont know what happened to him but it is scary.
>the craziest most obscure indie horror game you've NEVER FUCKING PLAYED>5 hours long>it's fucking Voices of the Void
>>739969691Mauler needs to learn the concept of not showing every little thing about a movie or game. The point of a review is to give a general overview of the subject that gives the viewer an idea of what the thing is about and what is good and bad about it, not a fucking recollection of everything that happened in THAT particular playthrough. With movies it's slightly more excusable since they are always going to be the same everytime you watch it ( but still bad ), but it's inexcusable with vidya where each playthrough is different in minute but potentially meaningful ways.>>739966253Youtube should've stayed like this quite honestly. It would've been a better experience than the hellscape it is today.>>739970605He was only like 40 too when he died 5(?) years ago of a heart condition I believe. Fucking RIP man.>>739971028QRD?
>>739922167Anon, you're complaining about video game videos from 15 years ago. Maybe the issue aren't the videos, but you. You haven't moved on. Why are you still clinging to shit like this?
>>739971716Work on your reading comprehension
>>739971710>QRD?He got addicted to fentanyl, his wife left him, he deleted his channel, I think he may have lost his house or be on the brink of homelessness, and he started making hate videos about his former friends, particularly Asalieri2. Rob started obsessively mocking Asa's disabled daughter online; it's so fucked up and wrong, it almost comes full circle and becomes funny again, but only because of how absurdly scummy it is. The man has completely lost his mind.
>>739947910awwww what the fuck i really liked this guy, he taught me how to install morrowind with mods when i was like 12, jesus christ
>>739935531To be more specific, old AVGN ended when Mike Matei stopped working with James, as he was the "true genius" behing AVGN, writing all the jokes and skits, and new AVGN began when "the slobs" from Silvermania essentially became James' managers.
>>739928757>My wife/gf/mom guesses the names of pokemon/smash bros charactersWho gives a shit. fuck off
>>739971716you can't read
>>739972062Thats somehow worse than spoony just eternally moping ever since Lindsay Ellis aborted his baby
>>739935531Yeah, the movie changed Jimmy, turned him into Bimmy, but I would argue he still had some good episodes left in him at that point. Bible Games 3 was not a good episode, but Atari Sports was really good.
>>739970605Really? Damn, that sucks.
>>739973464It's far worse. I was almost in disbelief when I searched him up a few months ago to see if he still made videos. Spoony is just washed up and chronically blackpilled, nothing too crazy really, just kinda depressing. Rob, however, has become a full-blown horrorcow.

>>739962931>>739962992Checked the vid and he actually says it, Screenwave getting sloppy. It's at 5:40 anyway.
>>739949267What the fuckNerd AIDS claims another.
>>739974518I'll say this forever. Allowing custom thumbnails and removing the 15 minute length limit were the biggest mistakes youtube ever made.
it's weird because there are honestly tons of cool channels now. While its true there is a lot of awful "review" slop made by nerds who have no idea what media critique is, there are just as many gems. I don't understand having any nostalgia for 6 minute game reviews.
>>739935531>>739972923True and true. Schwarzenegger Games was the first episode of season 7 and the first bad episode. The following were Ghosts n' Goblins (it was fine IIRC), Atari Sports (shit), Ikari Warriors with Kyle the guitar guy, the last truly great episode and Toxic Crusades, with that gross kike what's his name, horrible and unfunny episode, the first one to be utter fucking dogshit doodoo diarrhea.After season 7 AVGN still had its moments even if few, but when Mike left it became unwatchable, both AVGN and the whole channel. James ain't the same without Mike, these two tards need to be together to make good shit.

>>739935375I guess they don't read it, it is just more shit that moves on the screen for their adhd riddled brains
Not really /v/ but I watched a guy for 15 years or longer who did really good movie analysis' on Kubrick movies, Alien and Mad Max (but also some video games like Alien Isolation) but one day last year he just put most of his videos under that stupid become a YouTube member to watch. I was already buying some of his long videos (the only internet dude I ever bought something from in my life. Including twitch subs and shit)It was so disappointing I had to follow him. Fucking money it always becomes about money
>>739976384NTA but I used to watch Thorhighheels then a few years ago his videos became insanely incoherent and would add his leftwing political BS into at random times. Seanseanson was a good replacement but then someone started donating to his patreon under TRANS LIVES MATTER in pink and blue and he read it out every time.
>>739976160A lot of my gems ended up turning to shit. >Max Derrat used to talk about cool spiritual stuff >Became a thumbnail clickbait maxxer whose videos barely have anything of substance and keeps mentioning MY WIFE He also mentioned a cool schizo guy called ReinstallPaul but that guy went actually schizo and stopped uploading anything but 10 second clips of Twin PeaksI was following some dude named my little thought tree and he started doing 10 hour videos on rewriting Harry Potter because JKR is transphobic or something
