you know youtube has gone seriously downhill when even people like amazingphil and leena norms are posting reddit videos
#remember when phil was well-known for coming up with unique video ideas and inspiring popular tag series?#remember when people were creative?#this is a little conspiratorial thinking of me but i kind of think that commentary gaining popularity (at least partially) caused this#that genre made extremely formulaic videos that rely on content from other sites the norm#obviously reaction channels existed before but barring the fine bros they usually were not like hugely popular#and i don't think that genre would have had the site-wide effect that commentary did#both bc of the difference in popularity but also in perception#commentary is 1- comedy so it takes more skill than pure reaction and#2- generally positions the person making the video on a moral high ground#people (both other creators & viewers) tend to respect commentary youtubers in a way they don't respect react-ers#which grants the genre legitimacy and allows it to ruin everything on the site#in reality it's more complex than that i just. love to blame everything on cody ko#bri babbles
