The 8-bit guy's channel has become an 8-bit marketplace for his new toys based on ancient technologies and his games. Channels like LGR's, which is limited mostly to "le'me show ya what retro gear/game I got in a form of my stencil subjective review", have never been interesting to me. There's no way I'd waste my time watching something like that.
There are already plenty of these channel types in YT and I think most of them will disappear over time, 'cause their prime goal is not the hobby itslef, but monetization and earning through YT.
I mostly watch videos from channels with retro hardware repairs/restorations (tony359, Epictronics, BuB, Necroware, vswitchzero) or with actual upgrades or comparison reviews (CPU galaxy, Phil's computerlab, Necroware). But I'm noticing a bad tendency with them too, which is again related to the retro parts market trends - for example whoever uploads videos with 3dfx videocards repairs has much more popularity than the others.
P.S. As for the flaming offtopic here...
The "usual suspects" as always can't hold back their political bull**it even in technical forums like this. Cars, trucks, motorcycles etc. (including electric ones) also kill people, so ban them too! 😁 Since antiquity, only slaves has no right to own weapons, respectively has no right of self-defense.
