For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.
But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.
His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.
So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.
We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.
The thing that killed me about the grill scrubber was them bringing up Amazon ripping off products that are listed on its site (valid) but like you said the product they came up with is a clone of many others already on the market. The way he presented it is going to give people the impression that the preexisting ones are the imposters. You just know there are going to be fans review bombing competitors who predate his brush.
He went through something before trying to capitalize on privacy. Ended up trying to sell someone else’s reskinned VPN. Seems like he isn’t above exploiting the trust of his viewers.
I’ll always appreciate the videos he did on the eclipse though. Got me convinced to go see the 2017 eclipse and it was fucking amazing.
