So what YouTube stuff do you watch on a consistent basis? Or rather what do you follow closely? I'm subscribed to lots of things but don't watch them depending on what they are but they're things that I do watch everytime something new comes out or for when nothing else is on I'll throw a playlist up. I used to watch Good Mythical Morning the most, but I've dropped off from that. I'll watch if the topic is interesting from time to time. Same with Household Hacker. What I am subscribed to that I do watch always would be 1. Team Edge along with Battle Universe 2. Dude Perfect 3. And Jelles Marble Runs. I found this by accident last fall. It was suggesting it on the side for whatever reason. I watched and got hooked. It's just marbles, but marbles in an Olympics is a fun idea. Team Momo is who I root for. Also have Brave Wilderness, Its a Southern Thing, the Skit Guys, Simon's Cat. Few others but those are the main ones. For shows I just watch 1. Escape the Night This show started a few years ago, a reality escape room show basically. I didn't want to watch the first seasons free episode at first. Mostly because it kept popping up everywhere very annoying like. I was looking for a play version of And Then There Were None (found 2 versions of schools did that are good if you'd like to watch), and this kept being suggested because it was "mystery". Ok fine I'll watch. It has cringeworthy moments like the kissing mannequin episode in season 1, but overall has gotten better with each season. It's on its third season. I didn't have YouTube red (premium now) to watch it before but I got it to see if Rosanna Pansino lives or not. Hopefully lives...I've watched the previous seasons to be ready for this aswell. I can talk all about it. 2. The Nomad of Nowhere A cutesy show. Was trending. Watched it. I love the animation and the plot line. Thought it was a more kid friendly thing at first but that latest episode took quite a dark turn in a way..but i look forward to more. 3. RWBY I member watching the Dead Fantady series on YouTube and I membered this was a thing by the same guy so I watched Vol.1 last night. Awesome show so far. Love several of the characters. Although I see lots of comments of how its progressed it's not been the same, but that could be because the creator of it died unfortunately. I'm going to watch the rest soon.
I like some Rooster Teeth stuff. Not so much their scripted, more highly-produced stuff, but I like their gameplay stuff, like on the Let's Play channel, particularly if Michael and Gavin are involved. I don't really keep up with any channels, but I do have several game-play channels I like. Bowlingotter is good, a husband and wife gamer-team. Laurenzside is a good game channel I would absolutely not call a "girl gamer" channel, mainly because such things are stupid, but also because it doesn't really play to those stereotypes at all. Michael & Gavin take on a devilishly hard, completely ridiculous co-op game. Tensions run high. Matt & Lissy discover that their true calling is not armed burglary A soothing compilation of screams These kinds of gameplays are nails on chalkboard to some people and most of the people who do them get on my nerves as well. But I find some of these people, like those listed above, to be really good entertainers.

We do indeed. Just some back story to finding and subscribing to all these YouTube channels. It started with me working like 15-18 hour days and Attack of the Show/G4 coming to an end. Working all those hours, I had very little time to actually watch TV and the only thing I would really watch on a daily basis was Attack of the Show during a lunch or dinner break just to get my fix on geek culture and whatnot. As Attack of the Show was coming to an end, I was still working long hours and wanted to some background noise while working. So, I just happen to come across the very early days of AMC Movie Talk, which featured John Campea, Amy Rose Eisenbach, Dennis Tzeng and recurring appearances of John Schnepp. "Movie Talk" was filing a need in the industry as TV shows like Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Extra, etc., became more about Hollywood/celebrity gossip and less about actual industry news. From Movie Talk it expanded into the other nerd culture related YouTube channels and I'm thrilled to have access to all of them. Had I known I could have made a living covering and talking about geek culture when I was a kid, I would have changed my career path. Anyway, it's just awesome I get to view my channels at work and commuting to and from work, as I'm a subscriber to YouTube Red which allows me to download episodes from my channels.
Since Collider has been mentioned a lot ... I just watched their second Town Hall video. Sounds like they're going to be adding lots of content under their banner ... that I have no interest in watching. Some of it was just completely WTF worthy. A show about crypto currency? I know that's the new owner's thing but ... really? Ineterestingly Robert Meyer Burnett has been absent since Schnepp's passing which I had just chalked up to him taking time, schedule conflicts, or whatever. But today they announced the new hosts for Heroes as Amy Dallen and Coy Jandreau and that the show would be going back to one day a week on Wednesdays. The owner eventually got around to addressing RMB's absence but simply said they had been talking. Then later today John Campea tweeted out the return of his comic book centric show The Weekly Hero now with a new in-studio co-host Robert Meyer Burnett that would be airing on ... yep, Wednesdays. So I guess RMB's run on Heroes is done since they'll at least be taping on the same days.
Game Grumps is always fun for a laugh, and as a source of quality animations. CGP Grey is probably the most interesting and informative channel I watch.
@AutismLight91 I also accidentally got hooked on those damn marbles. Though I stopped watching once the Winter Olympic events stopped.
Yeah, I watched Collider's "Town Hall" video live yesterday, and most likely won't be tuning into their new shows like WWE, sports, live, paid channel, etc. But, I've give them credit for attempting to branch out. About the crypto currency..., yeah the CEO of Collider is really into it and I remember him saying in the first "Town Hall" video that crypto currency will be the actual currency in like 5 years or so. The new time slot for "Movie Talk" having effected me as I never really watched it live, but the following day on my train ride to work. As for Robert Meyer Burnett, I like the guy as he's eloquent when he speaks as he often wax poetically on nerdy stuff he likes; and I love it when he gets all passionate for Hot Toys. Burnett's absence on Collider Heroes since the passing of Schnepp was noticeable and many were wondering if he would make an appearance or a video in memoriam, but nothing, so Campea's announce of Burnett to his weekly heroes show is surprising. I'm be tuning in to Burnett's first appearance to see if he comments on Collider and Schnepp's passing. I was watching Schnepp's The Death of Superman Lives; What Happened over the weekend, and saw the Burnett was in the documentary.
Yeah I don't have a problem with them branching out into other areas even if it's to add stuff I won't watch. They've grown about as much as they can in the pop culture geek space. If they want their channel to explore other areas the staff has a passion for, more power to 'em. I did feel a slight twinge of being miffed though when I heard Fernandez talk about doing something about crypto currency when they pulled the plug on a show like TV Talk due to a lack of viewership. I plan on checking out RMB on Campea's channel as well. I've felt for quite some time now that Campea has badly needed other people at the desk with him because he's just so very repetitive on his own. To the point that I don't really watch him much anymore because I can guess about 90% of what he's going to say about anything. I know he's fine with his channel staying a one man gig but I'd like to see him get it up to the point he was at in the early AMC days with himself and a couple of regular co-hosts and a revolving roster of guests.
I agree that Campea needs someone to co-host with him and provide a different perspective/opinion. Campea was planning on bringing a female co-host and announced when she was going to debut a few months ago, but then Collider was bought by Fernandez and the cut down the staff which included Campea's brother-in-law, Ray and another guy, among the people let go. Instead of hiring a co-host, Campea hired Ray and the other guy to help with the editing and graphics for his videos. I typically watch the first half of his show on the emailed "topics of the day" as those are usually the most interest to me. I use to love TV Talk, especially the early days with Josh Macuga, David Griffin, Sasha Perl-Raver and Sinead De Vries. The show lost alot of its personality when Sasha left, and I was pretty much done with the show when David left. It was hard to do the daily show for TV talk because there wasn't alot of news to cover and when the recapped shows that aired, it was pretty spoilers for me because I just couldn't watch everything before it was discussed.
So yesterday Kristian Harloff announced that he would be leaving Collider at the end of the month. This really does mark the true end of the channel that John Campea built in his time there and with AMC's sponsorship. Harloff is the last of the heavy hitters, in terms of in front of camera talent, that for me marked the zenith of a channel I really enjoyed watching. I don't watch nearly as much of their content as I used to. And while I've criticized them before now has having essentially devolved into Harloff & friends in terms of their content I'm not sure how they will persist without him because they really haven't done enough since Campea's departure and Jon Schnepp's passing to restock the cupboard with compelling personalities and it's been a slow game of attrition under Marc Fernandez's more direct involvement. Some of their programming decisions, especially of late, have been mind-boggling in their badness (let's have 2 weekly hour long shows devoted to Star Wars but cut our comic book movie/tv show down to 30 minutes because there's so much less of that stuff to talk about ... ?). Collider Live is one of their shows I still watch but it's open format and long run time does cause it to cannibalize basically everything else on the channel in terms of discussion topics by airing first in their daily rotation. Interestingly enough I no longer watch Campea at all anymore. He's not very strong as a (largely) solo act particularly for the amount of content he tries to crank out. He was better as part of the mix at Collider and it was a better channel with his presence. I think that he and Harloff might end up doing some stuff together in the future though. I know his beef with Collider was mostly centered around Marc Fernandez once he became the principle owner of the channel.
