Do we have quantitative studies showing that?
Is there a meaningful difference between "subscribers" of equal popularity (in terms of, say, views or something), where one says that and one does not?

Whats iz up [INSERT YOUTUBER'S NAME FOR HIS OR HER COMMUNITY!
"WHAT IS UP YOUTUBIAN NATION!" We are back with another video!!!
"WHAT IS UP YOUTUBIAN NATION!" We are back with another video!!!
Then type in "<game title> longplay/walkthrough/no commentary" (one of those three options). Unless it's some really new, or really, really obscure game (like maybe some Japan only title that's also obscure in Japan), you'll find something
This is legit annoying. It even happens without clicking on the video, via my recommendations page
Yep, there's plenty of no commentary gameplay vids out there!

The deformed ones trigger me. Big eyes, stretched mouths, etc etc. I refuse to click on anything like that.
Starting to feel how BabyBoomers felt about Millennial huh?
Fret not, these kid inherit a far more economical inequality society compare to us. Any movement up the social ladder is easier in our generation than theirs.

Youtubers, in general, are the worst part about Youtube.
People who love the sound of their own voice way too much.

This guy is a great example of everything I hate about YouTubers. The over-the-top voice, the unfunny jokes, the shitty thumbnails, he's got it all. I don't understand how he has over a million subs. Maybe he's really good at CSGO? I don't know but everything about his YouTube persona is off-putting to me.

I've noticed a lot of reviews on YouTube tend to simply list everything the game features. "In this mode you do this, so you can use this currency to buy this. In THIS mode you..." and so on.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I kinda want my reviewers to say things like "I liked this because," or "I thought this was an effective choice because..."

My main pet peeve are YTers that stop being themselves once they get a big audience and a bigger budget. Suddenly they try to be funny, have long skits, guests, props, writers, etc. The actual content quality always suffers as a result of this but they make money so they don't care.

That motherfucking annoying as fuck AIR HORN sound. Some asshats play that sound so many times on their video. I noticed these when my daughter shows me things that some youtubers post. I can't help but raise an eyebrow and go WTF.
Blatantly misleading thumbnails.
Some boxing channel (that I'm trying to eliminate from my recommendations) had a thumbnail of Vasyl Lomachenko doing his matador pose from a recent fight against a clearly photoshopped Floyd Mayweather. They've never come close to fighting. The ropes in the ring didn't even line up.
Another video from a different channel shows Urien and Ken in Street Fighter V. Ken is in a juggle state with an Aegis Reflector in front, behind, below, and above him. It was like he was trapped in a box, which is impossible, because the Reflector is always vertical, not laying down the way the thumbnail showed.
Clickbait titles are one thing but clickbait thumbnails? Desperate.

You guys pretty much covered it.
Pretty much all these vids have the same intro and ending
"Hey guys..."
"...Don't forget to like and subscribe"
Talking very loud over gameplay videos. I swear, 90% of the commentary is very awkward and cringe-inducing, like not natural at all. Is everyone a nervous wreck when recording? Why upload on Youtube then?
And in the same vein, why is no one funny or entertaining? If you upload a video, I would expect to see some entertainment value. If I were an uploader, I would be scared to death of rewatching my video and seeing how unfunny or awkward I was. There are exceptions, but the majority of videos I see are like this. Goes for video gaming, or any tutorial video.
