Which Youtubers did you unsubscribe from and why?

Totalbiscuit. (ok, didn't unsubscribe, but I rarely add his videos to watch later)

I really liked him in his WOW days (when I still played) and I really liked him during SC2 (when I still played) but now that I have a fulltime job and don't get to play so many games and spend time on Youtube I guess I feel disconnected to his videos (just the length and the will to put the time into it).

I mean it might just have been the Hearthstone stuff that everyone did (I can't stand Day[9] playing HS) but I just didn't enjoy his stuff that much anymore.

The reason might also be that I more regularly listened to the Cooptional Podcast and I can't stand the way he humble brags.

"Oh, every time we say the name of a website, we crash the servers fake laughter, I am so sorry, but you should know better than to make a good product if your server can't handle our 50000 concurrent individual views and my 20000 views on youtube".

"Well, not many channels get to bring tabletop simulator to the front page of twitch, and some can manage it" with a well but MY channel certainly did

and I am sitting there in my car and thinking: Dude, you got 8 large streamers/youtubers together on a stream playing together and promoting it... For all intends and purposes you could have shown yourself doing a coloring book with your toes and your bathrobe falling open and people would have watched.

Don't get me wrong. I think he does a great job. And the position he is in - that he can literally make any video at all and people watch it is a clear indicator of his success, since people watch for his opinion and personality and not because he is the guy that does that (A position the Yogscast were in for YEARS with minecraft - when ever they did something else, views were at like 10% of the MC-views).

But he just seems to be a little too full of himself and covering it up by being self-deprecating in his cancer and past job problems etc.

All the power to him, since he seems like he worked hard for where he is and if all the stuff he tells the world are true, than he deserves it and gives back to the community in a major way.

But in a situation where he can't get around Simon from the Yogscast mocking him on twitter (which was a questionable move by Simon but whatever) or the DEMAND that a company crawls on the floor before him because otherwise he won't cover their games is just too much for me.

Yes, he has a great influence on people and I am pretty sure he has the power to sell games to people, since a lot of his demographic is old enough to earn money (which he doesn't get tired of mentioning btw :D ) But sometimes I feel like he over-eggs the pudding like he as a Brit might state it.
