While I agree that most the big youtubers are overrated, I still really like Markiplier for some reason. Idk, he just kinda grew up with me and he still plays games. Plus I like Distractable.
I feel like this is pretty much the path the large majority of YouTubers take. They gain a following. Stay consistent over the years. Slowly grow. And after a while people just watch because that’s what they’ve always done for years. The person could post a video of them just like peeling a potato and plenty people would still watch just cause.
He is rich enough to not desperately beg for likes and comments at every other breath. I don’t even think YouTube paid people back when he got popular. Maybe they did and I’m just dumb, but I don’t remember that being a thing.
That simple omission makes his content easier to watch than most in my opinion. Plus he seems like an actually cool guy. I’ve never heard of a real life scumbag example of him. Not saying he’s a saint or anything, but with his size of an audience, I would think news about him being a jerk would be spread around, but I haven’t heard of any.
Seems like he’s pursuing other career paths at this point, as his posting frequency has gone way down, unless the algorithm isn’t bringing him up as much for me, haven’t really checked into it. But since making his 2nd big “choose your own adventure” project, he seems like he’s doing bigger stuff.
Which I’m happy for him in that regard. I miss the consistency, but he’s just a busy guy now.
Distractible I’m really behind on, but I do like it.
That’s great to hear. I would probably love to hang with him in a setting where he wasn’t in a “hang out with a random fan” kinda situation, which has good be uncomfortable for famous people.
If there was a legit reason it lived intersected, it would probably be a kick-ass time.
