For me it's Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that's sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.

But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.

His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.

So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren't supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.

We didn't subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.

Dude when they first launched Channel Super Fun it was like frat bro style activities they were engaging in that you'd be hard pressed to get HR to sign off on. I remember they basically kept dogging on one of their first work permit holders who was working on immigrating. I think his name was Dennis? Like yeah he clearly was straight out of college and lacked life skills but holy shit they took it way past playful teasing, and that's just what happened on camera that they felt fine to post.
