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.

    Yes, I know of this one too. I used to have watched a lot of the “You Make It, We Skate It” videos which was a nice interaction between fans and the channel.

    But then some drama and there had been numerous dramasodes happening prior to the warehouse being destroyed, where Aaron went away and it was taken over by some other guy where the videos were nothing but back-to-back SKATE games which got old quick. Aaron comes back and things seemed promising but I think more stuff happened where one of the members turned out to be a pedo. Lance ended up leaving, but he too is kindof a scientologist as well.

    Then the big blow-off with the warehouse where there was a series of miscommunications, there was some grifting going on where anything the channel got monetarily and other financial sources, it got funneled into Scientology.

    It was a trainwreck.
