Is anyone else a bit bored by the newer content?
I don't want this post to just turn into a thread bashing Charlie. Please keep all conversation civil and on-topic. Sorry if this kind of post isn't allowed or causes any issues; the only reason I'm making this post in the first place is 'cause I wanted to see if anybody else had been feeling the same way lately. Now that that's out of the way...
Has anyone else been getting bored of his content recently? Granted, I'm more of a fan of his IRL content (and always have been), and it's not even the actual quality of the content: it's the monotony of it. One of the things I loved about his content was that it felt like he was coming up with fun ideas, doing whatever he felt like and getting to hang out with his friends in the process. Now, a good 75% of the content on his main channel is just the news stuff or stupid people doing stupid things (which obviously has been there for a bit, and that stuff is interesting sometimes, but that becoming the main content he posts now is a bit disappointing). Even when he does post something like a tier list, he doesn't act like he cares about it anymore and just kinda half-asses it (to the point of not even ranking the stuff anymore). He uploaded that soccer video recently, which was fun and the kind of content I was missing, but it kinda rubbed me the wrong way how cocky he acted about the whole thing. I know that fake cockiness has been a part of his humor for a while, but I've noticed it a lot more lately and it doesn't come off like as much of a joke as it used to. I've noticed the monotony with The Other Channel and Skill Check too. One of the things I loved about The Other Channel when they first started it was the Unus Annus-like feel to it, and now it's basically just the game show and AITA channel. That stuff is fun sometimes too, but I miss the creativity and variety. Even the Skill Check channel has practically just turned into a place for Charlie to feed his card-pulling addiction (and ruining the market for other collectors in the process). I have to admit that this in particular irritates me, considering how often he goes on about hating people flexing their wealth.
I felt like they were doing so much cool stuff before they moved to the farmhouse last year: they were doing the world food tier lists, they had their D&D campaigns, but that all fell to the wayside as soon as they moved. I feel like the monotony has gotten especially bad since the start of this year. Apart from a few of the videos they've done (like the ghost hunting or treasure hunting ones they did last year when they first got the farmhouse, to name a few examples), none of the videos they've done since moving couldn't have been done back at the warehouse. Obviously, they could have some cool things planned (I don't know), but after a year of being at the farmhouse, it seems like a bit of a waste of the 20 acres of land they now have.
Again, please don't use this as an excuse to bash Charlie or his team and turn this overly negative. It's just something I've been thinking about lately and was wondering if anyone felt the same way.
