Oh and some royalty free ambient beat in the background and a completely unnecessary intro theme

"And don't forget to subscribe and ring that notification bell" they say attempting to be sarcastic and quirky about it. Fuck off

I don't mind the RGB. But it's weird that literally all of them have similar setups with the Nanoleaf, a Ramaworks keyboard, Raid sponsors, Best Setup rankings, top 10 tech lists etc, etc. They're all cookie cutter. It's freaky.

I wouldn't even mind if they actually talked about the product. That's the worst part. I know I'm a hypocrite saying that as someone reviewing the same circle of little tech products they get, too, but they get millions of views for just holding the product box in front of a camera and saying nothing.
Chary
And the ego. Those massive tech unboxings where they scoff, like UGH Razer, another mouse? They're spoilt and act like they deserve more than what they get. I've seen some just toss crap away out of frame cuz it's cheap and thus not worth flexing with.

"Really Maingear? An RTX 3080, not a 3090? Laaaaaame" and such

What Shaun said, my major gripe about those channels is that they don't actually review the device, they just list the tech specs and give some "first impressions" and that's it. Some go as far as to run a benchmark, but most don't.

The "like, subscribe, comment down below" are annoying but unfortunately necessary to appease the Almighty Algorithm, so everyone does it.

Well, if you want some hardcore data and information, go watch Gamers Nexus, it's basically like if FAST had a tech Youtube channel ;O;

watching linus drop stuff hurts my soul deeply

Not quite what you're talking about, but it really annoys me how Linus Tech Tips videos are advertised, like "You Don't Need a Graphics Card!" with a thumbnail with the same implication, but it's actually a video talking about streaming services. Like yeah, it relates to the content of the video, but...

the fact that linus has dropped enough stuff for this guy to make 8 of these videos says a lot

Also linus wears socks and sandals which is just, no

@banjo2 he addresses this a lot actually, it's simply because clickbait sells and he's a business out to make money. At one point they promised to tone down/get rid of the clickbait, but the money they make off it is too good to pass up so they just deal with it.

What is it with you and bad youtubers?

it must be hard to go the same route as everybody else . . .
