Aibu to think you tubers...

[putthebinout]

...have had their day? Well, not quite but I used to love a good speed cleaning video or food haul a year ago but it's beginning to get pretty tiresome and I now find myself either not loading up videos or stopping a few minutes in. Is this glimpse into an ordinary women's life so normal now that it's no longer interesting?

Nope they're still very much a big thing, just because they no longer interest you doesn't make them obsolete.

Also there's a hell of a lot more to youtube than speed cleans and food hauls.

I'm subscribed to a load of youtubers, never watched a cleaning or food video yet. (Unless it's Ashens trying crap food.)

Yes I agree OP, I'm bored with all the regulars I watch, it's all Primark hauls or wardrobe declutters, monthly favourites, and cleaning the kitchen sink. It did seem a novelty at first, but everyone does exactly the same videos in the same week.

I still watch a lot of them. I mainly watch history one, Disney world ones and movie parody/reviews.

No I think you’ve just over exposed yourself. I love a YouTube video while I clean or cook so I’ve been there!

I don’t watch many mummy vloggers though - do they not see the ridiculousness of decluttering, then multiple home bargains/primark/Poundland hauls?? So wasteful! 🤯

Sorry I watch mummy vlogs I guess those are the ones I mean. Obviously you tube has a whole range of diverse content!

I think it definitely depends on the type of content you watch.

Many of the original YouTubers of 8-14 years ago are now finding that they have to diversify their content a lot, as their audiences have “grown up” with them, and newer viewers aren’t interested in finding them. For example, I’ve watched Dan Howell since his very early days in 2010, but he’s already made a lot of changes to his content to diversify and “age up” his channel, and is currently taking a long hiatus, presumably to figure out where he wants to go.

I think the “mummy blogger” and “beauty guru” realms of YouTube are extremely oversaturated now, which is probably why you are feeling fed up with their content. Again, they need to diversify, and fast.

My absolute favourite subset of YouTube would have to be “Booktube”, which is absolutely flourishing in the UK. Always lots of fresh tags, decent in-depth reviews and video essays to enjoy. That’s a subset who are getting it exactly right at the moment.

I’ve also become a real fan of minimalism lifestyle videos, which is a refreshing change after I unsubbed from all the beauty gurus I’d had on my subscription box since the early days.

Not in My house ! As much as they annoy
Me I do hope they have sensible financial advisors

Never ever seen these cleaning vids. I'd never look them up.

I use YouTube for finding out about something I've suddenly become interested in. Usually an animal, historical event, person, band etc.

I mostly pop music videos I like on, when I'm cleaning etc.

I've recently started making videos in an app called tiktok of me making my artwork, but sped up and with random music to it. Turns out it's really popular to watch people colouring or drawing etc. I can stare at one or two of my vids going in a loop for ages at the moment, my heads such a shed.

Apparently basic colouring in vids, unboxing etc are really popular with very young kids too.

My favourite at the moment is Maangchi a Korean cookery show I think it's really well done. Lots of great stuff on YouTube. But I agree there is only so much you want to know about someone's everyday life and shopping hauls.

My favourite depends on my mood

• if I'm anxious or stressed the I like 'Shu and Tree' which is a Japanese dog grooming channel. (Sounds weird but it's SO relaxing)

• There's an 'American react to...' by Taffe316, where he just watches British TV and reacts to it. His cat recently got sick and he crowdfunded $2800 in less than a day despite only having 9000 subs.

• Ashens reacts to crap food, stuff from poundland, loot crates etc.

• Jenna Marbles does weird videos and seems to be the nicest person ever. She has three dogs which feature a lot - Marbles, Kermit and Peach. She's recently adopted a dog called Bunny and her last two videos are completely adorable. Also watch the podcast she does with her boyfriend.

• Philip DeFranco for news

• Chiitan who I found from another TV show. Japanese mascot gone wrong - falls over, jumps on things, really sill but makes me laugh.

Dd’s introduced me to Tom Scott and his mates / good mix of humourous stuff and educational, easily lose an hour or two!

h3h3 makes me laugh out loud (surprising given I can be a miserable cow)

Jenna's video with Bunny made me tear up!

I dont watch a great deal of the youtube vloggers theres sometging a bit fake the prkmark and poundland hauls.

I've always watched ashens and for a,long while nerdcubed and many a true nerd.

Unless it's Ashens trying crap food.)

Ah ha sone one who may understand my user name.

Yes yes i've just spent the last 5 days watching the entire 8 seasons of citation needed. Its great. Also his Lateral game is good too.

I dont completely know why but i've resently started watching geoff marshall's train videos and i pick and chose videos from his and vickys all the stations trips in both the uk and ireland. I appricate trains are a bit of a geeky/niche interest i just enjoy their presenting style

I don't think so. DD loved DanTDM when she was little, we enjoyed him too, he has charisma, he educates and never uses bad language, now 6 years later, DS loves him too.
DD is passed him, but he has a whole new upcoming audience.
His net worth reflects it.

slash DH has got DS obsessed with Chiitan 😄

I love diving down a YouTube rabbit hole.

Whenever I end up with auto play suggestions going I get child abductions, terrible family tragedies, and Ted talks 😄

Also Dude Perfect and Blippi are I’m constantly here 😄

Dude perfect are great.

I'm a Game Theory girl, love a good conspiracy theory. Sometimes I watch CinemaSins or DrawingWiffWaffles as background noise.

Wish it were true because I loathe YouTube entirely but sadly not... My DC are still very much into it anyway.

I think it’s more that we go in cycles of what we watch. So it’s not that it’s dying off, it’s that we click on a different video and suddenly want to consume different content for a while, before going back or moving on.
