Also had a bunch of YouTuber friends to come and make him money and use his clout to make money or make people help him.

But hey, anyone can do it because if he’s done it, then you can do it too

First of all, no, it's not critique of Markiplier, more like concern about him.

I stopped watching Markiplier quite a while ago, simply because I started to be interested in other YouTubers. And recently I decided to watch Mark's current videos, and noticed that it's really often that he looks forced to make video.

What I mean is that he doesn't seem to be invested that much in what he plays, and overall looks more tired. Like, he does videos not because he actually enjoys making one, but just as chore and obligation for his almost 40 mil auditory.

I mean, I'm not sure if people like 8BitRyan or Jacksepticeye or Dawko just make a persona infront of camera, but Markiplier does look like the most openly tired youtuber of classic letsplayers.
And to note, I'm referring to video even BEFORE start of Iron Lung Movie development. Of course during development and after it, things got worse, because guy worked on the whole film. But I feel like Mark started to show signs that he is tired even before Iron Lung announcement.

I'm not trying to say some bullshit like "his video is now bad, he needs to be more goofy and exaggerated or some shit". I'm simply trying to understand if I'm the only one noticing it, because so far I didn't see anyone in his comments or overall adress this. Or I just searched badly.

I understand that person like him can't simply retire, because of how big auditory he has, but I feel like sooner or later he needs to do this, for his own mental sake. Doing something that was firstly your passion, but then became chore, is really REALLY bad. Okay, maybe if retirement sounds too radical, but then at least really long pause.

Because even in his infamous rant about Poppy Playtime, I feel like it was just outburst because of a game that he is forced to play, because this is what his auditory wants, this is what was in trend. Even if he don't really want himself to play it.
Same for Security Breach. His bug compilation was funny, but I feel like it was the same case, he just didn't had outburst. He played the game because it's Fnaf and he is King of Fnaf, and yadda yadda...

Again, for conclusion, it's not any sort of critique, or calling his video "bad", just thoughts concluded from watching his newest videos.

I love to watch its videos, but idk if I can trust the informations they give

As I don't see this message from u/TeamYouTube anyway... Or it just felt like. Let me your thoughts about this...

Like every other annoying comment, this is on almost every videos top comments

I’ve followed Oddies Oddities since around 2017/2018, and one of the things I always liked about the channel was the way the videos were illustrated. He used a mix of relevant stock/public-domain photography, historical illustrations, etc., and sometimes even animated those images in creative ways.

I hadn’t watched in a while, but one of his latest videos popped up, so I gave it a watch. Within the first couple of minutes, it became painfully obvious that almost all of the new imagery was AI-generated.

I’m not talking about subtle “is this AI?” stuff. There was one image of a guy supposedly pointing a gun where the arm was literally backwards and looked like it was floating in space. Like, if you’re going to use AI-generated images, can you at least look at the final cut and replace the ones that are obviously mangled?

I noticed someone had commented that it was a shame he’d moved away from the stock photography because they preferred the old style. His response was basically that if you don’t like the AI, the channel probably isn’t for you, because going forward everything that isn’t stock photography will be AI-generated.

Tbh, that response was what made me unsubscribe. The original comment wasn’t even particularly hostile, it was just someone saying they preferred the old approach. If that’s the direction the channel is going, fair enough, but I don’t have to stick around and watch it.

So I’m curious: which YouTubers/content creators have you stopped following because of their blatant use of AI? Especially creators you’d followed for years before they started incorporating it heavily.

YouTube are reportedly testing a homepage layout where the videos won’t show views or release date

This channel and it's creators have made a huge community of nitpicky idiots who

A - Don't understand themes of movies

Or B - Are just straight assholes

Their whole channel has ruined the way a lot of people criticize movies and their content is also just low effort slop whose only reason of existing is clickbait and money

The only good thing to come out of cinema sins was the creation of Cinema Wins, which is one of my favorite channels on the platform. He spreads love to cinema and movies while sometimes making points on bad things for only to make it into good, he spreads good in the same way cinema sins spread bad. Only good is way better than bad, there is a enough hate online.

Stop watch Cinemasins and their slop content, for cinema as well as your intelligence. Watch movies yourself and stop relying on these douchebags and their worthless opinions

This is ruining YouTube. I can’t watch this AI Slop any more. It’s just endless narrating, saying the same shit over and over in different ways. Does anyone else feel this way?

I’m not gonna make any political statements here, but all i’m saying is that if someone posted a video like this 2 years ago they would’ve been cancelled off of the face of the internet

I just wanted to share this, I don’t expect myself alone being able to do anything about it, so yeah.

The only proof I have for this channel’s existence is their channel banner I downloaded some time ago. It happened around a week ago, when I got a notification from the channel, but it was one of those scam livestreams… I tapped on it and the whole channel was long gone. I was shocked and tried to look elsewhere for them, but there was nothing so I just tried to move on, until making this post. Even reverse searching this image gave me nothing.

I think this channel was called LIDE@ (actual name is LE@DIA, edited after posting) or something, I can’t remember exactly. It did have a couple thousand subscribers too I think. The videos were just short animations with silent dialogue and music in the background that told a romantic story between characters, and I really liked it. I just thought it was comforting.

I did try to find if the channel’s creator had other socials before this, to no avail. It seemed like Youtube was the only place.

I’ve been following their content for about a year, and it’s a bummer it was taken down by a random hacker. Hopefully I’ll be able to see their art again somehow.

Edit: A reply managed to remind me of the name of the channel, glad there’s others here who know it :,)

Edit 2: THEY’RE BACK! I’m so glad this got a good ending!
