I used to watch this guy. Then about 6 years or so ago. Then one video he gets on, and starts berating his viewers for sending him gifts, and fan art.
His explaination was something along the lines of him not having enough space for all the stuff. And that's fine. I understand not having space.
But then he just goes ON AND ON AND ON about it. In a pretty disrespectful manner.
He could have just said something like "As a side note, while I appriciate everybody thinking of me, I just don't have the space for it all.
So if you'd like to send me art, I would much prefer digital art over something physical. I love the enthusiasm, I just have nowhere to put it...."
That would have been understandable.
Instead, he said something more along the lines of "I'm getting way too much fan packages from you guys. LOOK AT MY LIVING ROOM!!! I can't take it all! This needs to stop! It's making me angry. You guys are tweeting me that I don't thank you for your hard work. I haven't even opened the box! How am I supposed to know what you sent me???"
And ever since then, I've seen him as an unappriciative dick. I understand the need to stop the incoming flow of packages coming in, but there's a nice way to do that.
I get the same vibe, i still watch him, but not as intently as before. He has a tendency to do exactly that, and he generally fails to respectfully address any concerns he has. He just sorta acts annoyed and goes on tangents. His content in good, but his personality isn't
I've been finding his content hasn't been as good for the last couple years, maybe just from the random rants he tosses in for no reason. Then he went on a little rant recently about how he isn't making as much money from YouTube anymore and I unsubscribed.
Though, in fairness, several YouTubers were making the same kinda video around the end of last year. All complaining they weren't making as much money because of YouTube's algorithm favoring shorts.
