He always felt completely devoid of charisma. He just jumped on the bandwagon at the right time. That's the only reason anyone watched him.
Charisma-less is a good way of describing him
He needs a reality check if he thinks his charisma is what got people subscribing to his channel
@@ksh2596 And that he is more charismatic than Pewdiepie😂
@@deeznutz8320 yeah, that's delusional
Yeah honestly. I mean he aint completely devoid but he made it seem that way as months went on. I started watching him around 2018 so maybe im a bit off with my recollection but i feel like i laughed a few times with his jokes he’d have here and there. I remember a personality just not one on full display if that makes sense, like he hides most of himself
“I know I’m charismatic”
Can barely articulate a thought or form a coherent sentence.
States directly in the camera like a homeless man begging for change
Dude really called himself more charismatic than Markiplier... he has no idea how exhausting it must be for someone like Mark to maintain his internet fame
You should listen to his podcast with CRG. Hyper-inflated egos.
Just listen to him in this video. In the videos when he was younger he sounded joyful. Now he sounds run down and spiteful of his lack of success. He couldn't keep it up.
HELLLLLLLLLO EVERYBODY MY NAME IS MARKIPLASKJBAWKERJEBHHAWE
The idea that woke ideology has somehow gone away or even lessened in influence is just insane to me. It is more mainstream and popular than ever
More imposed I'd say
Not really.
@@LanceRedCock Yeah it's not like every major corporation supports this ideology or something lol
@@MotherFucker1984
That's called marketing
They're not woke because they want our money
I shouldn't have to explain this 😂😂😂
@@LanceRedCockthey put woke ideology in every new Disney movie
This guy is the definition of “right place at the right time”
I listen to him, Chris and Sweeney on the snark tank regularly. They’re funny but they also have very one sided takes on politics while also claiming that they’re the “rational” ones. They seem like cool guys and genuine about their beliefs but I think everyone needs to be humbled about their values and perspectives once in a while no matter if you’re moderate or radical. There’s not much to gain from dismissing people who have a different perspective on taxes, free speech, abortion, etc than you do
Honestly, of the three of them Sweeny is the funiest one because he doesn't take himself seriously at all
@@carlosi.1303 Sweeny is absolutely hilarious. He really needs to do his own comedy show.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer He couldn't stand on his own, Sween is good n' all but he's not a solo act.
I watch Chris for his gaming stuff but I avoid his political talk for the most part.
No there really is. Most codenamed are complete morons.
Y'all have literally done nothing for the USA in 20 years
I vaguely remember this guy. He was a part of that community with Sargon & Shoeonhead, though unlike SomeBlackGuy, those two are somewhat semi relevant in the UA-cam & Twitter space in different ways. Mundane Matt & Bunty also have dead channels, but they have lolcow status in the community, they're pretty infamous. This guy however, no one talks about him, and looking at the channel today, no one cares about him either.
Never heard of him. Thought I had been around too
I actually really liked the guy and I still follow his other channels and his insta. He does (did?) music at one point that I liked.
I think it's better to be SBG than a freaking lolcow lol
What did Bunty do? I remember his face and name but never watched him, just out of nowhere he was in that group and on the "infamous" photo at a Dennis' but never cared enough to watch them all
@@ImAMenacehe hates gamers now, AND HE WAS A CUCK, he was very vocal about his awful relationships😂
I’ll never forget the day that I witnessed SomeBlackGuy become SomeWhiteWoman.
YES dude I literally watched one of his videos the other day after forgetting about him for like 5 years and i was blown away by how whack he has become
The Metokur stinger 😢🙏🏽🕊
Was it the one defending CC2? That’s the one that made me unsub.
A long time ago I saw a thumbnail of him with some hot goth girl standing next to him and him holding his chin like he was thinking. After that not one of his videos ever came back onto my feed. I think he just isn't willing to progress his ideology to its logical conclusion because he's afraid the hot goth girl pussy will dry up.
He seemed cool, but I think got cold feet and opted for being a lolbert liberal.
I feel like he should go hard on making metal music. He's insanely talented in that area and I believe it would benefit him to put WAY more investment into that instead of rant videos.
Whomever told him he's charismatic, has no idea what the word means.
Man this is worse than I thought. I stopped watching his channel when he covered Gina Carano (who I met, she was so cool😊 ) getting fired from the Mandalorian and said that she should have just kept her mouth shut.
gina sounds like a karen on the other side.
Gina: why isnt there an M for Male and F for Female on this paper?
Paper: Then just write F for Female. You identify as a woman right?
Gina: REEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEE WOKKEEE SJW ! REEEEE WOKE !
Paper: Uhmmm.... Just write F. Jesus....
Gina: I refuse to write F on gender! REEEEEE WOKE REEEE!
Also Gina: Why did I get fired on Star Wars.
I mean, All she had to do was write female or F on the paper. And she goes on twitter demanding that the paper should only have Male or Female written on it. She doesnt have to cry on twitter like a KAREN.
@@anti-sjwandsjwannoysme6603
That is NOT how that happened lol. The fuck is this spaz rant you're dreaming up?
I would say Tim Pool is definitely a grifter, but not for the reasons SBG thinks.
Bingo! I listen to his podcast with CRG and 99% of the time that he's right it's for the complete wrong reasons.
I honestly don't see how anyone can think Tim is grifter after the Ye and Eliza stuff. He went to war with his own fanbase over them which is anti-grifter behavior. If he was a grifter he would have kowtowed to his fanbase and kissed Ye's feet and threw Eliza under the bus instantly. Tim's not the most likable guy in the world and he has some bad takes but his beliefs are legit.
His short-lived UA-cam career really got to his head
To me, he always came off as a slightly taller Gary Coleman who spat "current issue" talking points for clout.
@@snozzlehead92underrated comment lol
He needs to lean into making the Snark Tank as successful as possible, while continuing his music channel. His solo commentary has gotten worse and worse throughout the past few years.
I unsubbed from SBG when he started saying shit about Joe Rogan (not because Rogan is above criticism) that was unverified and disingenuous.
he got especially 'tismy during the whole beer bug era
Man oh man. I love Derrick as a person and it pains me to see him go down the rabbit hole of current day politics. Current day politics is super polluted and its hard to differentiate truth from fiction in either direction. He tends to jump so far into the left though that it seems like he discredits EVERYTHING on the right. He has had a lot of takes recently where I'm like "broooo why?!" especially when it comes to something involving Ethan. He justifies every bad decision that Ethan makes with the "it's just a joke" trope-like answer. I know he's friends with Ethan and I think he holds him too high on the pedestal while being afraid to lose that connection with criticism towards Ethan. In today's environment if you want to do political content you have to be in the thick of the weeds, but he has surface level understanding. Look at everyone else in his cohort from the skeptics days that are still successful. Blaire white mixed her content up, CRG has mixed it up, etc. I think he could be successful again, but he either has to dig down into his politics or just pump the fucking brakes and focus more on apolitical content.
I feel you, I actually do like the guy as a person but what gets me is like you said, the support of h3 no matter what. That’s like a red flag lmao. And the other criticisms.
Someblackguy when name brand black guy is too expensive
He was black and sort of right wing at the right time
Ja kinda centrist, and liked heavy metal music too he used to defend that too
@@deeznutz8320 He was right wing. You can be right wing and like metal lol.
A lot of these old anti-SJW hasbeens like Tj, SBG, Hunter, will say “I could be making bank if I just grifted to the right” as a cope. No they couldn’t. Their channels were on the decline before they decided to become annoying scolds. Shoe0nhead is the only one that moved more left and kept her audience because she stayed nuanced and didn’t talk down to us. She’s also still funny and entertaining. These guys completely lost their charm and take themselves way too seriously now.
The funniest apart about hunter avalone is he literally used to be a right wing channel up there with Steven crowder he’s basically just grifting to the left atp I’d be very surprised if those are his real views
Shoeonhead is still cringe for promoting Candid and shilling for Bernie as a candidate and not seeing him for the sellout he is. But yes compared to most of the skeptics she is less cringe.
@@cantbcryinovadatho His channel is so dead now.
But Shoe is a terrible, unfunny youtuber who believes in the trans agenda. She's also been skinwalking Boxxy for over a decade. She disgraced herself by posting DDLG crap for years and was with a loser who left her for an older woman before adopting the views of the next penis she got. Society is stupid because no one does their research on the people they watch. I hope you aren't one of her simps. Jesus.
@Chimpin Out Because youtube has been entirely corporatized and mainstreamed like TV, which was inevitable, with any new outlet discovered is a ripe opportunity to make some money for dying greedy people on the tippy top, and that money needs to be made a certain way.
The problem is most people rely too heavily on youtube for their entire livelihood, so it becomes something completely disingenuous that changes depending on when it needs to, which is fine, because people need to live. But, then yeah, you're seeing characters, not real people with their genuine feelings, because that'll kill your career real quick.
"I know I'm charismatic, I [stutters for the next like three seconds]."
It's a combination of things, you hit most of them. I think SBG is cool and I'd love to hang out with him sometime but yeah his videos got really long winded and less fun, he often is late to talk about topics compared to other creators, and I think as he pursues his other hobbies more he's paid less attention to politics so his commentary became less informed over time.
Exactly, he started talking way too much about stuff he had no idea about, because he didn’t take his time with it. Then he decided to defend Ethan after the whole Jordan Peterson thing, and that’s one of the first times I saw him with a negative like/dislike ratio. Kept going downhill after that, from what I remember
Liked SBG back in the day. He's just gone completely 180 with a LOT of things he's covered as of late and it's pretty funny to watch. Also, his gofundme for his community to fly his girl over from another country? Dude. Lol.
I saw that gofundme when spooling through his channel, that was painful to watch.
Google him and RageAfterStorm
Oh...that shit was real? I thought i imagined that 💀
@@mizutsunebubbledragon3382 I forgot that lol
@@WithDiameter what happened? Can't find it
We liked him before. When he called himself a centrist we knew he was a centrist that leaned left but he's Def seemed to have gone a bit way more left now....
I remember I used to watch SBG and Chris Ray Gun back when I was a teenager. Key word; teenager.
Same
I was in my 30’s 😂 it has nothing to do with age.
If your race was your whole identity incarnate.
Honestly I only tangentially knew about SBG, but damn. I never took him for all that controversial outside of politics. Because being anywhere right of the most temperate liberal is controversial nowadays
Edit:
Oh. Yeah no he's off the fucking deep end
Anytime I think of SBG, I think of the part in the second bullying other UA-camrs video by Thatistheplan where Anthony put his channel in a chokehold and it just cuts to him crying at the grave of SBG’s dead channel for accidentally killing it. Kinda ironic considering what ended up becoming of him.
Lmao had forgotten all about this guy. As a non murican I forgot all about these people who emerged during the start of the trump era and the drama they covered during and after the 2016 elections. Surprised he’s still on youtube.
I dont think youtube unsubscribing people from channels was a "bug". I think they realized that the vast majority of everyones subscribers were completely inactive and havent watched one of their videos for years. Unsub everyone, then every real viewer that cares will resubscribe while every bot and dead account and paid sub cant. Its a ptetty sensible idea tbh. If he lost that many subs, it must mean they werent actually watching his content or theyd have noticed theyd been unsubbed.
I was just thinking of SBG this morning! I stopped watching him sometime around late 2020/early 2021. His cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Lovely’ is one of my all-time favorite (metal) covers.
Absolutely stunning.
He, truly, has a musical gift.
I pray he finds his way.
Emp lemon is a GREAT example on mixing things up to stay on top. Dude released a video on rogue waves that has 1mil views already. All his videos are interesting. Another great channel is Oki's weird stories
Also Wendigoon
Max Derrat and Ragnarox are also amazing imo but they tend to be Videogame focused and not as widespread in their topics
Him and Lucas had the same arc
Someblackguy ahhhhh the good ole fucking days of youtube, used to watch him back then.....hadnt watched him since....
Love all the losers getting called out at the end
"If I was biased, you would either like all of my points or none of my points"
Such an incredible self-own and self-report. Clearly opinions to him are either left or right, with no room in between, and the only reason to watch someone is to either have your biases confirmed or denied.
At least his new video addressed this problem. I understand what it’s like to just not enjoy what you’re doing anymore, and being a metal head myself, his new stuff is way more up my alley as opposed to the non stop cycle of politics that I mostly don’t care about. He probably saw this and subtly addressed why he doesn’t care much for the politics stuff anymore and is deciding to move on to something he’s more passionate about
Finally someone dose a breakdown on SBGs fall off. I had to unsubscribe felt his
Content stated to get really annoying. Just got a subscriber now to binge your back catalogue
I really enjoyed this video. I appreciate that you actually explained indepth on why his content went on a decline instead of just saying "CuZ hE IS WoKe!"
I've been watching SBG ever since his hayday, and it sucks to see that his channel is now on the UA-cam death bed. He has the potential to be a titan on this platform but he would rather throw it all away so he can continue to make medicore commentary videos with his enlarged ego at the helm of it all.
I remember this guy from back in the day. He had zero charisma. His audience was created by Sargon, Bearing, Chris Raygun, Andy Warski (back in the OG days with Chris Warski), and the other skeptic clones all recommending him. He was the token black guy of the skeptics and he took full advantage of the role. Those channels were all tired copies of one another all repeated the same talking points over and over again. It was inevitable that it'd fall eventually. I don't know if they were all grifters, some were for sure, but SBG always just seemed more of a bandwagon hopper than straight up grifter.
It got boring because it was all the same content but I completely disagree with you about grifting. I’ve come to hate that term because it has been diluted and abused into oblivion.
The "grifting" term is my favorite current day projection. The sad truth of these creators like derrick is they quickly morphed into purveyors of leftist doctrine when they saw youtube crack down on the anti-swj content creators that were surging in popularity during the mid 2010's. Someblackguy is a prime example of someone who got in at the perfect time and was young and fresh, and now he comes off as an aging child who has primarily grown up on the internet in his bedroom, which is really the saddest thing to me about him and his peers who have had a similar fate on the platform.
I mean YT still cracks down on the right leaning people too but I digress.
SBG was the token black guy for covert racists like Sargoon to say "See we're not racist, we have a black guy near us".
Holy shit, I he pulled an Amazing Lucas!?!?! WHY!!!
I was wondering what happened to this dude the other day. Then I seen your video about Anisa and after watching it I decided to scroll the rest of your channel. Looks like I’m gonna be comfy here for a while as I binge.
Glad you called out his stance on woke culture at 20:19 thank you. As person who was stuck in that bs echo chamber I'm glad there is someone willing to call it out.
Love the irony. You just entered another echo chamber.
Everyone is some type of hypocrite nowadays, I find this kind of stuff meaningless to talk about unless they're being some triggered happy person stopping others from criticizing them like twitter/discord users do etc.
@@za-ir5ni It would only be an echo chamber to him if this is the only channel he frequents. But you have no way of knowing that. Given that leftoidism is so mainstream these days, it's hard to remain unexposed to it because it's so in-your-face. This makes it far easier for leftists to find echo chambers. That said, everyone should follow a wide range of people from across the political spectrum, inn order to know what they are saying on various issues and how to refute bullshit.
His studio, if you can call it that, feels claustrophobic. How low is that ceiling? And somehow he is still looking down at me? I feel like I'm staring at an MC Escher drawing.
The guy doesnt want to be an Anti-Sjw Anti-Woke anymore.
Pursue music. Pursue Gaming.
Anti-Sjw Anti-Woke became the new Sjw Woke.
Defending Ethan Klein is a awful idea always
Except that one time he shitted all over hasan on stealing content
This dude was never the same after rageafterstorm rejected him lol.
Wait that happened?
Yo! Spill the coffee!
he has almost 400k subs and averages 2-3k views a video.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up rage after storm but I guess that's a whole other rabbit hole
The black MundaneMatt
More like death of an era, he did grift A LOT, pander A LOT and when this era ended well so did he
Gotta do a vid on amazing Lucas
Ah man, I just stumbled on to this. Great video! I'm a subscriber of his and even I've noticed this. His takes have become weird to say the least. I now watch just to see how weird his takes are going to be. And you're 100% correct about his channel. He doesn't seem to put as much effort into his videos that he used to early on. It's a shame because I like the guy.
He e begged to pay for his mail order Ukraine bride
Did they marry?
This video should be retitled to "an essay on delusion" homie got less charisma than a fungal nail infection.
People like SBG never seem to grasp the likeliness of UA-cam becoming a career you can retire from at 65 is infinitesimally small. SBG's time was the Trump election era, as people started getting tired of Trump and UA-cam started banning "anti-sjw" and "sceptic" channels the chance of him remaining successful dwindled but he never had the forethought to realize it was time to quit and join the offline world.
Do one of these on Jeff Holiday, he was of the same ilk as SBG but had a weird past of crossdressing, having a big part in the Dashcon antithesis Killroy, and crashing and burning like all the other channels of 2015-2016. Or maybe I'm thinking he's more interesting than he actually was.
there are still tons of succesful anti SJW / anti woke channels. SMG just isnt that entertaining and there are lots of people, even black people, who are doing that stuff and doing it better than he did
the ego on this kid
This guy already is jumping o. The idubbbz bandwagon
Can you do a video about hunter Avallone I would like to hear your take on him just wondering
"Stop talking to us like children." She screamed, throwing her arms around like a toddler.
SomeBlackGuy: For when Sargon of Akkad is too intellectual for your tastes.
Sargon an intellectual? That's hilarious.
Lotus eaters is actually pretty based, but sagon has some insanely childish takes and it's crazy apperently when he's sitting there talking about the nuances of economics and one person is legit and he's making stay in the kitchen jokes lol
It's even sadder when you're called dumber than a Applebee's worker 😭😭😭
His dismissive attitude around the last election turned me off. Its seemed like he was doing a 180.
13:40 His facial hair is really really bugging me lol
Haven't thought of this guy since the Bunty cuck days
Great channel! Your background music is very nostalgic. Reminds me of being a kid playing through it.
Was subbed to him for a while early in his day, he seemed chill and liked stuff that I liked. Unsubbed eventually because he kept begging for money in his vids. Now I see he wanted all these people to basically run new channels for him? Dude is just lazy
omg nobody talks about someblackguy
Cool we all see how crazy bread tubers are. It’s the same as back in 2016, but more authentic which makes it worse
All had more this dude peaked in 2018 when all gamers talked about was "dunking on Buzzfeed, anti wokeness etc etc" it was a very profitable and even he without much effort and good connections grew up. But people moved on and he didn't 20:42 this right here tells how much he's stuck in the past
You should also talk about Brandon Rogers/H3H3 deleting their old videos. I haven't seen somebody cover it yet... Although I know one of them is not a commentator I just think it's important to let people know why this was a bad thing for their original channels, a middle finger to thier old fans and How keeping these private videos up would have been good for remembering. And what Emplemon said I totally agree but for brandon/ethan that doesn't mean he has to delete or try to get rid of the past just because people might get offended.
he's deleting his old videos!? Man that sucks, I love his old shit.
@@MarkMightBeBetter yeah :/
What videos has he deleted?
@@alisinchains alot some Brandon: episodes of theater class and old vlog bits... Ethan: privated his nelk boys reaction vid... yeah
Markiplier and pewdiepie are amazing, mark is blazing a trail for creators to subvert Hollywood completely and be able to make shows and movies without them. He also sticks up for the little guy when UA-cam is being hypocritical or censoring. And pewdiepie is just funny, who blazed a trail, stayed humble, stayed funny, and is about free speech and philosophy.
Can’t say the same about 99.999% of anyone else in the top 1% of any, ANY, industry.
I tried watching him because I like Chris Ray Gun but his videos are sooooooo boring
HAHAHA THISS NI66A THINK HE CHARISMATIC LMAO SBG
I forgot about this dude.
I have to agree on most of your points about SBG being delusional, coping, and narcissistic but any time you touched on a political topic you were so wrong I felt like I was having a brain aneurysm. I watch the snark tank podcast because it's mostly just dumb rambling about cultural things and scenarios so I only know that SBG has said he never liked or wanted to do political videos but music. I agree that his channel is failing because of the reasons you stated but most of them aren't some major personality flaw but SBG genuinely focusing on improving his music and not on essentially a rant video. SBG does seem to have an inflated ego because he's blaming every other thing on his failing main channel but I agree with SBG that most successful online personality are big because of luck, best example is that xqc guy.
you presented "woke" "sjw" example but it was literally just politcal discussion on whether the right ideology is racist, a moderate is just uninformed or undecided, and if black people specifically had a self hatred/racist reason for being a republican. Those 10+ minutes or hour long discussions are actual topics rather than anita sarkessians level of "woke". It's especially egregious of your false comparison of the "are the straights okay" part. The whole "are the straights okay" thing is a joke phrase about how far straight people go to be "Straight" like saying they rather have sharia law than gay marriage or a man never touching his asshole because it's gay.
The grifting part was also wrong. Tim pool was either grifting or retarded because there's no way someone could say they really thought trump had a near 48 state landslide win possible. That's grifting 101, saying untrue things in hopes of garnering support. I don't watch ethan so maybe he's a grifter.
This is the best commentary channel right now
Oh no…. So hes upset hes not raking in money…
I remember watching his videos here and there. After checking in him recently, sure his views are down. But he looks like he genuinely enjoys making his own content and it makes him happy. Not the same can be said for larger creators.
Chris ray gun has charisma, but he kinda just let his whole thing sputter out.
SBG has no charisma. Hes nice but he is unbearably boring. Sweeny was funny as a bit of a background character, but after hearing him on that snark tank podcast it is suprising how one note he is. Out of them chris is the only one who still has a chance to "make it", but i think hes in that older phase of life when all the ambition seems to just seep out of people if they dont fight against it tooth and nail. And he dont seem to be fightin.
It's crazy for him to say he wasn't a conservative when he literally said he was a conservative. It was one of the reasons i subbed to him because i was looking for conservatives that were black honestly. I'm good now because it's not about that anymore.
I love and respect all people of color but not this one
I used to watch him and I stopped watching all the skeptics because the bloodsports/Alt right era came and then breadtube and I got bored with it all.
Lol this guy reminds me of Dsiggs you should do a essay on him he said some wild things lol
tbh I genuinely always thought SBG had a learning disability when I was younger :/
Wow. Here's a name I forgot and all of the sudden remember. And after watching this vidoe, I can see how and why he has fallen off.
Ahhhh, I remember the Skeptic Wars.
I can't believe you used the mirrors edge background music man😊
It's a great OST to use for videos, especially for longer stretches.
SBG is getting words wrong an awful lot doesn't he? Or at least he makes me feel like he's saying them wrong or they're hitting the ear wrong? I think what im tryina say is a video of his EVER seen a script, let alone a second draft. So waffle is to be expected I guess, It doesn't mean everyone is tryina hear it though. Im sure the dude will be fine
this clown really thought he had a chance with rageafterstorm and got her cancelled cause she would blanda upp with him
This video is relevant now more than ever after his recent reaction vid malding to Shapiro/Macdonald rap video.
I watched SBG for a while but just sort of fizzled out around the mid or late 2010s. He didn't do anything particularly wrong to me at the time, I just think his presentation was too safe and boring. But I followed him longer than I did ShoeonHead. Lots of people simping for her in the comments and I liked her for a while too, but the Armored Skeptic humiliation play was cringe and she wasn't productive enough. Think her upload rate was even worse than Chris Ray Gun.
First mf! Love you! Haven't heard of this dude since like 2017 or some shit
I'm middle of the road because fuck politics lol I'm not a fan
Politics are literally a waste of time, believe me i used to be a fan
It’s crazy I just decided to search him out randomly since it had been years since I watched. I got bored of him and he might had some bad political takes already or something that happened that turned me off. Could have just been the boredom I don’t know if he’d gotten to the political yet. But yeah bummer.
Whatchoo talkin about willis
Using source sound effects? Subscribed
All I remember about him was him simping for some female skeptic and essentially being cucked
i dont think y'all know what grifting means
Him and Jeff Holiday always looked like Mormons
Jeff Holiday and his wife look like every squatter ever
What?😂😂😂😂
Sbg is the definition of you either you die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain
