DreamcastGuy is one of the bad clickbait channels too. He has to edit his comment section to only show his supporters. All you see in there
Is how great he his. Yet his channel has basically stalled for followers in comparison to the rest of the SpawnCast crew.
@kkslider5552000 I usually don't watch them either, but I feel annoyed whenever they just rear their ugly head. I also despise them because they're a part of the reason why the Nintendo community is the way it is when it comes to "leaker culture". Why people like Samus Hunter are prominent, instead of being seen as the farce that they truly are, and why people get upset when their false hopes aren't met, because they got their hopes too high.
I’ve never heard this in his videos. Could have missed it I suppose. But he’s pretty against being political online from what I’ve seen. What video?
@DTMOF84 I watched Dreamcast guy a couple of times, and I just don't like him either. He's not as annoying as other Nintendo youtubers, but the dude is weird.

There's this Minecraft youtuber called Dream that I really love but I'm constantly recommendations for these weird blue puppet guy's videos, and some WotttheScoz guy or something, they're both soooo annoying
Jokes aside, I can only watch ScottTheWoz and Arlo nowadays, they're so much more entertaining than anyone else I've ever seen, so for news I mostly just come here or to Arlo lol
@Snatcher Oh heck yeah, he's hilarious and he's good at doing it too. One of the few people I can still watch nowadays, he also does skits and kinda just does his own thing. He's really cool
He actually just had a collab with Hasbro and has his own version of monopoly lol
Games I'm playing right now:
Tears of the Kingdom - Switch
A channel keeps popping up in my recommended called SwitchStop, and while I wouldn't say they make huge claims without evidence, their thumbnails lean a little bit into clickbait.
@TheBigBlue nintendo prime might be the worst out there in terms of click bait. I can't stand beatemups either and stopped watching a couple years ago.
@NintendoByNature I don't think Nintendo Prime is the worst one in terms of clickbait. Switchforce I'd say is the worst, but Nintendo Prime or Beatemups are the second-place runner ups.

@TheBigBlue in this age of YouTube you kinda need to clickbait to get people to watch your video. What I just said doesn't cover the whole range of videos on YouTube mainly the ones the algorithm shoots to the home page and recommendations.
I just watch Arlo and Spawnwave for news and review type stuff, they're not bad, but no one is ever gonna be perfect at covering gaming.
@Kermit1 Ehhhh... I hate this defense because it isn't exactly true. In order to garner viewers, you don't need to actively lie to the people watching your content. So many Nintendo youtubers outright just lie to their audience in order to make a quick buck. The only reason they even care about their audience is just because it's a source of income for them, not actually because they're invested in the fanbase they've cultivated. Personally for me, I can't see how anyone defends people like Switchforce or Nintendo Prime, when all they do is outright lie to people. Same with Pokemon content creators.
