Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms [1], but some suck at statistically significant levels.

    I barely even know them, but the Green brothers, specifically Hank Green, are self-important dipshits who are not nearly as smart, funny or influential as they believe they are and i will laugh at their downfall

    the guy just looks and sounds like a dweeb and thinks he runs tiktok

      John Green is slightly less annoying, and mostly seems to stay in his lane, but Hank green is totally insufferable because the dude will not ever accept that he could be wrong about something. The thing he refuses to budge on? Liberalism won’t save the planet. Legitimately thought Biden’s plans for climate were going to begin the solution, and couldn’t see how it was the end game for Democrats, that was it. They weren’t doing anything afterwards they spent too much political capital putting forward something that did next to nothing to solve the problem and failed to address the root cause of climate change (oil and gas extraction which continued to climb under Biden).

      I’m sure there is more from both of them but that’s what drove me insane listening to their crap.

      They were some of the first bloggers on YouTube. I’ve watched some Crash Course, which is quick explanations of high school curriculum funded by PBS, which the Greens helped start. It’s a nice refresher for adults and helpful for kids taking AP classes or niche electives.

      But yes, they’re turbo-lib soyboys. Extremely off-putting for a lot of people and forget they’re only teaching high school material. Like take it down a notch, you are not on a panel reviewing someone’s graduate thesis. You’re a meme to make up for how shit our public education system is.
