Controversy and Stuff

The YouTube Process - 28/10/2012

Controversy and Stuff...

Having been in the YouTube Community's gaming scene since it started getting larger back in late 2008, I've seen a lot of change go on, and a lot of channels come and go. Some channels hit the big time and turned into bastards, some were just bastards from the get go... Others were twats from the get go, and turned into really nice people. An example of one of those guys is Wingsofredemption, a Call of Duty Commentator that was full of anger and aggression towards viewers from day one. When he started hitting the big time it was from controversy, his style of video and personality made him a magnet for hate and all kinds of trouble...

The thing is, he changed. When he started he was in a state of self pitty and annoyance, the he found a dream job in the video game industry and loved it, once realizing his mistakes he changed for the better...

The only problem with this is that he's changed too late and his channel's grinding to a stand still... It saddens me to see a good guy and a good channel start to drown itself due to age. Which is exactly why wings is dying out. He's an old channel, it's not what it used to be for him. To be honest, ALL of the huge channels from 3 years ago are dead to the world now. They're still active and alive, it's just there's bigger and newer names around now. Yogscast, ProSyndicate, Dai Ling Ping... They're the huge names now. Sure Hutch is still going on, so's Nanners, but they're not every day front pagers any more.

What I'm trying to say is, times seem to be changing in the YouTube Community and I'm not really liking it... I don't like most of the channels that are around today.. Hutch got married man. I know 3 years isn't long, but it is in the YouTube scene...
