Agent641, in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

Dave2D - Not a huge creator, but he lived in a van and made videos mocking other van-lifers who did the glamping thing and only showed the positive side of van life, not the negative side where you poo in a bucket and live in fear of a crackhead breaking into your car while youre asleep in it.

One of the glam-van-life couples broke up and he made a video publically mocking them. Then the girl killed herself. There was a huge shitstorm in the vanlife community and he ended up deleting almost all his content. Now he mostly does fantasy artwork livestreams.

Wait, when did this happen? I’ve been subscribed for years now and all I’ve ever seen on his channel are laptop and phone reviews.

I don’t know what are you talking about… Isn’t he a gadget-related youtuber??

I think OP miswrote the name.

Agent641, (edited )

I didnt realize there was another Dave2D on youtube.

This is the one I was referring to: www.reddit.com/r/…/what_happened_to_dave2d/

(Sorry for linking to reddit)

Why9, (edited )

Haha I was like “that Dave2D? Something’s definitely not adding up!”

ElPussyKangaroo,

Hold up… Dave2D?! THE Dave2D? DAVE LEE Dave2D?! Tech YouTuber Dave2D?!

YoorWeb, in What are some good places to advertise your personal blog?

Write good content, discuss it on relative boards and people will come.

focusforte, in Tips on making your data less sellable?

Simply have the pages blank as possible, and use a pseudonym. Shit posting Is it going to do anything to make data less desirable. Just follow all of the typical advice for staying anonymous on the internet.

Also, insist on only using the secret message feature of Facebook Messenger. Those messages are and to end encrypted and at least if you believe facebook, not even Facebook can access them.

Mark Rober.

He got louder, flashier, less techy and more talky and is doing a gazillion reruns of the same general idea over and over. Can’t really enjoy it anymore.

TodaviaTyler,

Came here to say this too (actually did but didn’t scroll enough to see yours first). I totally agree. I feel like he’s not creating content for the same reasons he used to.

Annoyed_Crabby,

I like what he do, no problem on that, but his voice is neither loud nor quiet. It has the tone of a loud speak but the audio come out soft, it hurt my ear when my brain trying to adjust to whatever that volume is.

Also yes another glitter bomb and animal puzzle maze.

theherk,

You type like beltalowda.

Annoyed_Crabby, (edited )

What is that even mean

Sir_Fridge,

Beltalowda, sasa ke?

theherk,

Assuming English isn’t your mother tongue, I meant no offense. But “beltalowda” is a demonym referring to the group of humans occupying and mining the asteroid belt and other outer planetary areas in the science fiction story The Expanse. Your grammar is surprisingly close to their speech patterns.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Huh, i went and look for that term and some slang does resemble asia/south east asian language and i’m from south east asia lol

theherk,

Please forgive me if I offended. That’s pretty neat though. I think the linguistics, while made up take examples from many languages.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Ohh no no, i’m not offended, just that it’s so random and i never heard of that term, no worries.

smackjack, (edited )

No one gives me Fellow Kids vibes more than Mark Rober.

Chriswild,

That’s exactly the vibe but he went to BYU so that totally fits.

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

Mark is a Mormon? That’s news to me.

Less “downhill” and more “dropped into a sinkhole straight to the pits of hell,” but Creepshow Art. I thought she was really fun to listen to, and it was interesting hearing tea spilling from a community I’m not privy to. At some point she opened up about a stalker who’d been following her for years, harassing her constantly, trying to get her fired from her job by sending compromising photos from her past to her boss, threatening her life… And then it turns out she was the stalker, and the victim was Emily Artful! She was the psychopath threatening someone’s life and trying to get them fired and shit! And I was planning on donating to her patreon!

seth, in What is the most cost effective solar battery on the market today?

If you want off-the-shelf, check out Will Prowse’s channel on yt, he explains in great detail the good and bad points of a lot of commercial batteries, inverters, panels, and updates his recommendations as new ones come out. It really depends on what your power needs are, but in general, today’s 48V server rack LiFePO4 batteries are pretty safe and easy to set up, don’t take up much room, can discharge even down to 0% for thousands of cycles, and can charge quickly.

The site I mostly end up back at for detailed technical information, bugs, updates, and DIY support is his forum, diysolarforum.com . There are a number of technical support employees from different solar vendors who have accounts there and occasionally respond to questions about their companies’ products, and there are forum rules to prevent them from marketing there. I’ve seen a few companies raked over the coals in those forums for poor phone or email support/response times, and some have even improved their support in response.

I think he’s gonna slow down on his main channel, but still upload. He does have a second channel as well. Tbf he’s been doing his thing for 10 years

stoy,

I remember subscribing to his channel 20 years ago.

TunaLobster,

The back log is great and still very watchable.

HeyMrDeadMan,

There’s no backlog if you’ve seen them all

dsemy,

My favorite YouTuber for sure - no thumbnails, no clickbait, no asking for subscriptions or money (he used to accept donations way back but stopped since he felt like he could make do without them), minimal intro and outro, he reads comments (he reads at least one comment from the previous episode on every episode of his main let’s play) and he’s been making the same kind of content for over a decade (main let’s play has over 500 episodes, each usually around 30 minutes long, sometimes much longer).

I haven’t played Minecraft in years at this point but I still watch every video he puts out.

Neve8028,

he used to accept donations way back but stopped since he felt like he could make do without them

He actually has channel memberships now but with absolutely no perks lol. There’s no expectation to become a member which is nice. I’ve been subbed to the $2/mo tier for about a year or two now. Been watching etho for like 10 so it’s nice to support a little more directly than blocking ads lol.

qooqie, (edited ) in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Steve1989MRE, chill and informative seeing how MREs have evolved. He eats all the MREs and only got botulism twice so he’s doing good.

For funny content badlandschugs is pretty entertaining and the videos are generally quick.

I still get excited when I see a notification for Applied Science after several years. Breaking Taps doesn’t miss, either. They both do really interesting stuff.

intensely_human, in Tips on making your data less sellable?

Be weird. Be a weird fucking outlier of a person. Then you degrade the signal quality of any data pool yours is added to.

Just be fuckin weird as possible

Fake4000, (edited ) in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

A few comes to mind.

Ordinary Things is great and Michael Fisher is good and usually doesn’t hype stuff up.
