Cleetus McFarland. Glad he diversified and got successful, but death by product placement made me unsubscribe a year or so ago.

Caddicarus for me. I love the guy, his new content isn't bad. I don't have time to watch a video that's as long as a feature-length film, wherein so much stuff is covered that nothing gets a spotlight for more than a few minutes.

SerpentZA loved his hopeful and exciting content, then he became embittered and critical of everything

Dude was like so overly positive of China, then immediately does a 180 and trash China, once he got a visa to the USA. Make me wonder if any of his praises were genuine, or just bootlicking whoever is in power. Bootlicking CCP when he's there, then bootlicks USA when he gets here. A "White-Monkey Job" as he and his friend laowhy86 calls it.

Also, dude is super weird. Why does he use "My Chinese Wife" in his video titles. Asian-fetishism? 🤔 A normal person would just use "my wife" and you can add their face to the thumbnail if you want, or just mention by name. Using "Chinese Wife" is a odd phrase to say. Like imagine a white American Youtuber uses "My Black Wife" in the video title, like that's just super weird.

The Chinese doesn't refer the ethnicity in this context but cultural. So it would be more like saying "My Nigerian wife". Viewers then have an expection to see stuff cultural stuff. It also helps the search algorithms I suppose.

But yea I did kinda stop watching them as well. It was getting too much I guess.

I very rarely manually subscribe or unsubscribe now, it just picks up on what I watch generally.

Really? I found the algorithm had really gone to shit maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Half my recommendations were stuff I'd already seen and another quarter were shorts.

Since then I'm fully subscription based.

I'm actually kinda shocked he's still around. I was a young teenager when I was watching Ray's stuff.

They got big and became a proper podcast studio with many shows.
