I have no right to do that. However, I will say that you've confirmed my theory: most people who hate Mother's Basement's content, hates him for superficial reasons that don't go beyond, "his content is worthless"; aside from @Manaban, I haven't seen anyone actually explain WHY Mother's Basement, as a content creator, is bad.I don't necessarily think he is bad but just that he only makes one type of video that feels worth watching and all else can be ignored as worthless material That's why I can't take 99% of Digibro and Mother's Basement haters seriously. |

I don't really get how my answer confirms your theory since Im not one of his haters but ok I just think he only makes one kind of content that I consider watching from him and everything else can be ignored To be honest I see him more so as a disappointment than having a like or dislike for him |

| A few very annoying, very vocal people have a stranglehold on the way a lot of anime fans watch and talk about anime. It sucks. If they were coming from a place of actual authority it wouldn't be so bad, because anime fans do a terrible job of talking about anime to begin with. But in the end I think they just make it worse. |
HopefulNihilist said: Nah I wouldn't say that since I don't go out of my way to watch his videos and then post a reply as to what he could do better Deknijff said: Okay, then you're one of his...critics?I mean I don't dislike or like MB to be honest I just think he only makes one kind of content that I consider watching from him and everything else can be ignored To be honest I see him more so as a disappointment than having a like or dislike for him |

HopefulNihilist said: Yeah more or less that sounds about right Deknijff said: So then, you're not a hater, disliker, or even a critic of his, you're...just someone who doesn't prefer his content?Nah I wouldn't say that since I don't go out of my way to watch his videos and then post a reply as to what he could do better |

| Man, the hate for anitubers is so extreme it's hilarious. Like they're literally considered subhuman on this site. I guess it makes sense when you look at all the glorious reviews here on MAL, you know the ones, rating characters and story separately, docking slice of life shows points for lack of story, fun stuff. Or maybe they're just nostalgic for the good ol' wordpress.com days. |
| The discussions in these sorts of threads never actual amount to anything interesting or constructive. It is mainly the same type of people rattling off the exact same criticisms of the exact same channels. We get it, you think they're arrogant. |
 |
| While I can see where the anitubers are coming from, i can also see where the critics of them are coming from. It's the difficulty of getting too opinionated in a place of many people with their own view of things. Although I know some anitubers don't have expressing their opinions as their main opjective, again an example is Gigguk. I can definitely see why some would disagree with people like Mother's Basement who has more opinion based content, and jokes centered around criticizing shows he view in a more negative light. Keep in mind I do not watch Mother's Basement, but it's just from the videos i've watched of his where I assume that's the type of content he makes. |

| I dislike the majority of them. As long as they just cover anime and do analysis I don't really mind them. Unfortunately their private life often seems to take over once they've become established personalities. I'm not interested in their personal life. I only care for content. I like my content down to earth edutainment. As soon as personal life shenanigans take the spots, I'm out. I'm not under any legal obligation to watch their private life. I choose not to watch them once their content doesn't interest me anymore. Simple as that. I'm luckily not yet legally required to like them & I'd like to keep it this way. |
 |
| Coz most of the anime fans are not tolerant enough to respect other peoples' opinion which differ from them. If a anituber praises an anime u like then he is good and if he shits on it, he is the worst. Thats how it goes when u talk bout majority of fans. I personally dont watch anitubers tbh. |
 |
| I don't hate them, i just rarely agree with most of them |
| I mainly watch Mother's Basement and Gigguk, sometimes Glass Reflection. I like the content they produce, whether just for consistent uploads, entertainment, or analysis. If these channels get a lot of hate, are there any good alternatives? |
 |
| You know, the YouTube algorithm actually really works. Just press "Not interested" a few times, then you can completely forget they exist because you'll never see them again. I've not done this to anitubers though, at least not those who do long form reviews. But I've never seen a top 10 list, react a super clickbaity all caps-lock video for years now, because I've nuked them out of existence on my recommended. As for anitubers, haven't had any pop up as of late that are interesting. Interesting as in, I watch them just to listen to their opinions on shows for an alternate perspective. Used to have some that I thought had swaying power and at least convinced me once in a while, but hey they are ded channels now (RIP an1meadd1cts T.T). As of what is around now... closest is probably Digibro? He does create a decent series of analysis videos once in a while, and his recent videos on Log Horizon are actually interesting. The rest of the more serious analysis types don't really sway me much. As for the less serious types, I could probably still watch Gigguk videos now, since they made to be palatable and non-serious. The rest of the halfway between anime and vlog types that yell or goof off half the time don't really appeal to me. |
| If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I don't really respect many of their opinions because I don't think they're very smart at what they're talking about but carry themselves in that way. I can respect that they're really good at profiteering though. A good number of them make their living off of just talking out of their ass. That's a good skill to be honest. |
| Anime community hate them because they are jealous there are more people paying attention to what anitubers said than all those tl;dr posts/review in MAL. genesic123 said: A few years back they were truly daming They did went out of their way to silence the good and promote the bad. I'm glad their influence is waning.Good anime might show up again. Neither Myanimelist nor anitubers have influence on the anime in the first place. The only who have influence is the Japanese market themselves. MAL and anitubers can promote certain anime as much as they want but if Japan don't share the same opinion with them, then it's totally pointless. |

| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
| Can't we just let anime youtubers die for once? smfh |
あなたは誰？ |
| I'll sometimes watch something from Gigguk, Joey, or Aki, but I watch the analysis half way more than the AniTube half. I'm a huge fan of Digi, Uniquenameosaurus, Best Guy Ever, and a ton of smaller channels. I hate Mother's Basement. Arkada is cool, though his views on piracy are kinda annoying. |
| I am quite neutral about all of them except Digibro, i cannot stand him. |
 |
| It's kinda sad how hating Digi and supporting mediocre sell-out content seems to be the default |
| I really dislike digibro, he has the awful combination of being both way overconfident and 0 critical ability. Some are great though like I love animeeveryday |
longkazama said: Arkada and Gigguk are the best. It's impossible to hate them. Other anitubers are like meh. In my opinion, Gigguk is actually one of the worst. Can't stand the guy. |
| I don't give a shit about youtubers. I could better serve my time watching more anime episodes than watching a review that hardly serve a purpose to me. What completely baffles me, if these count as anitubers, are reaction videos of people on any anime scene (it isn't just anime though). |

holysauron said: Gigguk is nice if you want to laugh but nothing else. This is a minor complaint but in one of his 2018 anime videos, can't remember which one, he gives all his thoughts on thee series airing at thetime and then proceeds to make a pointless 'Is that a JoJo reference?!' joke when it comes to giving his thoughts on Part 5's adaptation. Like, really? Did he really have nothing else to say? He could've easily also said something meaningful about it instead of literally spending 3 seconds on the topic to quote a pointless meme. If he had nothing to say, he should've omitted it from the video. I saw a few comments complaining about it, so I'm not the only one he ticked off. Again, it's a minor complaint. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

| Not sure what recent discussion you're talking about, but if it's the one I'm taking about then I do stand by my opinion that, for the most part, anitubers aren't good critics. It doesn't mean I hate them, though, I just don't watch them most of them for their reviews. I don't see the reason to feel anything about other people doing what we're all doing already except in video form. |

You should check some of them, I got some pretty interesting shows that from them. The most useful videos imo are the ones were they talk about genres or the industry in general, especially when they talk about old shows. The reviews are pretty pointless most of the times. Some people don't always care for big people. I meet or seen several small youtubers I sorta trust more than them and even Chibi. Just because they have big sub counts doesn't always mean its good content. |

| i like anitubers cuz i wouldnt be sure what to watch seasonally without them lol. the only one i wholeheartedly like is digibro. i often dont agree with him but thats okay, he just seems like a really cool guy- i think we'd be good friends if we knew eachother. |

DaCraziGuy said: Deknijff said: I mean I think most would understand that logic but most YTers haven't watched more anime than the average fan from what Ive noticed tbh Yes, a lot of them are plebs ahahah, the most experienced ones generally talk about a wide array of shows and not just the seasonals ones. Even if it sound "elitist", the people that talk about old shows usually know what they are talking about. The only extreme of "elitist" that I know on youtube is Digibro tho, he hates 95% of the newer animes so his opinions on new shows is pretty useless imo. I guess you never watched ThatAnimeSnob's videos before. |
| Well at keast Gigguk is funny, that's why I watch him |
| Gnyo ho! |

I agree on that, but some talk about for example, "anime history", they talk about how the genres changed and what shows represent that period with some small explanation of description about them. Those kind of videos are gold, because they have mostly facts. You can agree or disagree on tastes, but you can't argue about the impact or themes that those kind of things touches. That's why I think there is no waste there and that kind of videos should be watched by anyone that enjoys anime. |
