Ali-A Has Fallen Toward Irrelevancy (Fortnite)

  • Fortnite wouldn't be the same without Ali-A, but one thing is for certain - There hasn't seemed to be a more controversial figure in the UA-cam Gaming Community. Is he hated because his Fortnite Battle Royale videos simply get more views than everyone else? Is it because of his inauthentic persona? The clickbait? This video will cover Ali-A's downfall / rise and fall / drop in viewership over the last two years. Will he end up as an irrelevant creator?
    Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤

    The persona shift is extremely accurate. I used to watch Ali A as a kid back in 2011 when he was covering the black ops series. He was always very calm and collected when he spoke and even when he was genuinely excited there was still the aire of composure and professionalism- like he's talking to adults and teenager. I hadn't watched him since 2014 but after hearing clips of his new video, the shift is jarring. He's speaking like his audience are 7-12. Now he's mimicking the intros of most weird UA-camrs like "heyeverybody Whaaaaaaats GOinG oN???"

    I don’t watch Ali, but I do watch his wife’s channel! She’s super wholesome, and I absolutely love her content. She also streams on twitch. Although I do actually like Ali as a person, because when I see him on her channel, he’s just so loving towards her and funny; they really seem to bring the best out of each other. I don’t really like watching any of his videos though, because it really just seems like he’s putting on a front there, as opposed to when he’s with Clare (his wife)
    She’s also so insanely genuine, and her fan base is honestly one of the best and most wholesome ones out there, which means that when he appears in her videos, we’re not expecting him to be this over-hyper clickbaity UA-camr, but the loving husband of our favorite content creator which I think makes it a lot easier for him to be more himself.
    Although unfortunately, he’s the one who has created a channel in which he can’t be genuine anymore, and that’s pretty sad :(

    clickbait is the very unfortunate downside of youtube culture now days. Making something more clickable is understandable but when thumbnails are straight up lying that's when it's too far imo. Every single Fortnite creator is at an all time low right now and gaming in general is just super stale. on top of that, tiktok is dominating young audience attention spans which takes away from youtube video views. same with shorts and reels.

After like black ops 3 I got really tired about all the jetpacks and stopped playing cod and in turn stopped watching ali-a. I am now 20 years old and I despise him for his clickbait and misleading content, he used to have my respect for being so active in the cod scene but all that respect is gone nowadays of course.

      But nah fr tho I feel you on that. I'm the same age as you turning 21 this year and he used to be a decent part of my childhood as well. Myself, I stopped watching him shortly after AW because that's when I started to lose interest in CoD and started branching out into new game genres. I'd always peak in every now and again to see what's up but ever since he became the cringe lord we all know and hate, I never looked at his channel again. Only once did I peak at his channel to see if it was true that he was clickbaiting now. Whenever I get into a conversation about Ali A with people, I won't even bring up the fact that I used to be a fan of his back in the early 2010's because I'm THAT embarrassed about it. Now that's saying something on how far you've fallen, when even your own old fans won't even admit to being an old fan of yours.

    @h20delorian 2 роки тому +17

    The most basic way I can describe his downfall and why I stopped watching is: He stopped being himself, and he chased views/money. I understand views/money are important in the endgame...but there are good and bad ways to obtain that. He also felt more of himself back in the COD days. I'm mixed on saying he betrayed the COD player base (which I'd consider myself a part of), since if he found a new game that he enjoys more, and gets more views...why not? But I do also see where people are coming from when they feel betrayed. Again...I'm mixed on the matter. But also, on the topic of being himself...he seemed to show anger, rage, sadness, hype, and all sorts of emotions back then and seemed like a guy who was ACTUALLY happy to do what he's doing, but now...he feels like a family-friendly robot. Last but not least...he's still doing really bad clickbait TO THIS DAY. Very sad since his old videos are great, and hell...I still watch his old content/videos. But he's gone, and I can only hope that someday he comes back...but I'm not holding my breath

    I used to love watching Ali-A back when I was just becoming a teenager in 2012-2013 cause I wasn't allowed to play COD but I liked it so much! I would play vicariously through watching his videos on my little nook HD tablet and it would give me so much happiness in the times that were really rough for me as a kid. I really stopped watching Ali-A around 2017 when he switched to fortnite and I turned 18 and moved out of my parents house and really got to play the games I wanted when I wanted. Now I'm 22; married with a baby boy. I rarely ever play video games anymore and if I do it's old COD to relive the good times. I check in on Ali-As channel every now and then and seeing how he's getting married and now having a kid around the same time I did is really cool; but I still can't stand his thumbnails anymore!

    After seeing this video i felt a need to investigate about various communities in UA-cam and how they fell off.
    I saw many content creators just like Ali-A that focused on only on a game, and many people who review his channel are mainly right,
    They give their channel to one specific game, but between those communities i also saw creators who actually adapted to the people watching their content, for example in the community of a game called Roblox there was some creators that changed their content as people age so they don’t fall off and still get
    to keep their audience.

    Still remember back in school when a mate of mine watched his videos and would tell me about them, every now and then we'd watch one together for CoD related updates etc. Can't remember exactly when, but we both started making fun of him because of the clickbait and the way he would do his intros, and we stopped taking him seriously. Such a shame, he used to be a decent and fairly entertaining source of information then became a clickbaiting flog.

    To anyone who wants to know the name of the song in the intro:
    Requiem in D Minor, K. 626:3.
    Sequentia: Lacrimosa
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    It's a classic

    yo your videos are really helping me on a psychological level. The input you give on situations like Ali-A & DarkSydePhil are eye openers of how not to ruin your reputation & self image. binging your videos now lol. Cheers.

    Damn this is crazy. My favorite part was when he said the kids watching him ten years ago are 21. I was like wait thats me lmao. The cod videos were an odd brand of nostalgia where I can appreciate it but wouldn't want to go back. Different from most nostalgia I experience in that way.
