There is a special kind of youtubers, a bottom-feeding kind, which craves the drama and will do anything just to score some pathetic points and stir some more drama. Yes, I’m talking about "commentator channels", so it’s pitchforks time!
Every few weeks a new drama pops out on the commentator channels, something nobody really cares about, but everybody should hear about. Did you hear what happened on Twitter? Have you heard what the youtuber you never heard of did last week? You will never guess who just got exposed! But there is more, the drama got worse, much worse! You will never believe what happened next!
Few months back there was a fresh "drama" involving youtuber Coffeezilla and a "man" I’m not even gonna bother mentioning. There were money involved, there was a scam going on (supposedly), they made their videos and for a week or so every single "commentator channel" on youtube (a man with a mic and camera) had something to talk about.
But there was one aspect of that "drama" that really drew my attention - since there was a possible lawsuit involved every single "commentator channel" or streamer, no matter how tiny audience they had, was quick to offer "my platform" in case Coffeezilla and the other guy would like to talk about this. Yes, two people with few millions of subscribers will of course use much smaller channel to talk about this. It was really depressing to hear words "I can offer my platform" repeated again and again. Mate, you have no platform, you are a youtube channel, meaning you could be gone if youtube says so.
Not so long ago another "drama" exploded - evil company is trying to steal beloved Steam game called "Dark and Darker". Every single commentator channel had something to talk about, even though not many details were available to talk about. But who does not love a good evil company fairy tale? This frenzy reached its peak when that evil company produced documents that threw a different light on that matter. What happened next? Yup, it is a new drama - the evil developers, who tried to steal something. Or evil company, which tries to deceive the world. It’s one or the other.
But there was one exception - commentator known as penguinz0 was convinced that the documents provided by the company mean absolutely nothing, because... he said so. The company is evil, because they were evil in the past, so... that is it. Even his chat was trying to explain to him that when you are an employee (something he is not familiar with) EVERYTHING you do as part of your job belongs to the company that pays your wages. Otherwise there would be knock-off products right, left and center and no company would survive. But dear old penguinz0 made up his mind, they are evil and that is it.
Recently another youtuber, iilluminaughtii, who specializes in dark secrets of companies and other people, got "exposed" by former colleagues for being evil. I’m not really sure what was so evil about her, but facts don’t really matter when there is a fresh drama! She provided evidence that contradict the allegations, but it was too late - every single tiny "commentator channel" on youtube comes out of woodwork with pitchfork to join the pileup. I mean who cares about facts when you can score some sweet, sweet youtube points and gain dozens of subscribers?
To be fair, their "content creating" opportunities are very limited - they do not create anything, they cannot come up with their own ideas, they do not have products of their own, all they can do is join the angry mob and perhaps gain some recognition in the process. Once there will be a lawsuit their part in the drama is over - it’s hard to create drama when everyone know all the facts.
But this particular case was slightly different - they can take over subscribers from another "commentator channel", so it is a double win! At least until one day they will be "exposed" themselves. After all, it is a commentator-eat-commentator world out there. And you won’t believe what will happen next! It will get worse, much worse!

2023, the year of the brainless?
We are just 3 days into the new year and already you can look with nostalgia on good old 2022, when things were simpler. No, I’m not talking about war in Ukraine, possible war over Taiwan, possible resurface of COVID-19 in China, I’m talking about... oh god, I can’t believe I’m gonna say that... Logan Paul.
Robots are racist now
At least according to youtuber CoryxKenshin, who started a storm about being victim of racism or favouritism within youtube. Yes, boys and girls, he is convinced that robots are out to get him. I think we should re-watch Terminator movies, just in case...
The end of YouTube is near?
YouTube is about to crack down on one, tiny aspect of their platform, which might lead to beginning of the end for this giant streaming provider.
The curious case of SkapeGote
The 2020 pandemic made changes in lives of many, many people - for most it was negative impact, but as this article should highlight, for some it might have been a blessing in disguise. It is the curious case of SkapeGote, a Canadian man, who by accident became a youtuber.
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting better
Or to be precise slightly better. For some users. Yes, CD Projekt Red, finally came up with patch 1.5 and... it’s still far, far, far from what was expected from the game.
Bayonetta 3 drama
While there are dozens of smaller and bigger dramas going on right now, from Twitch questionable ideas, TwitchCon, Phasmophobia discord, Mizkif suspicions, cheating in chess and many, many more, there is one that is so stupid that it is hard to ignore.
