Do a "Which PLL's do I use" Video

Phew. Just read through all of the posts to make sure I won't repost anything.
Here are my two pennies:
Cubing is an extremely limited hobby. Yes, there are new cubes, new methods, and new records every once in awhile, but it's a limited hobby nonetheless. How often do new cubes come out? Frankly, quite. However, reviews are given almost instantly, and the topic isn't something that can be remade every week. Once a review is made, it's made. Also, buying every cube out there is insanely expensive. I for one, do not have that money to spend.
New methods. 1. They don't show up everyday, so people shouldn't expect them. 2. How many people can actually make new variations or methods? Of the beloved cubers mentioned, not that many can create groundbreaking variations.
New records. Not everyone is going to get a world record...'nuff said.
So, what do people actually expect to see from these highly acclaimed cubers? Lack of interest in making videos is one reason for the small number of recent uploads, but maybe they just don't have anything to upload. None of the above listed people have that much content they can upload, so people shouldn't expect one video per week. That's just silly.
In the end, I'm quite okay with having the YouTube cubing community simmer down. Famous cubers tend to grow dependent followers who feel transcendental needs to seek answers from the same person EVERY time.

How so? I see someone who is not particularly fast or an expert on anything making videos about things for which there are already tutorials. His OFOTA "tutorial" was just him reading algs from Erik's site (or someplace with equally horrible OFOTA algs), he couldn't even be bothered to research the method first. It really seems like a great example of a typical youtube cuber to me.

Oh, I meant he is not a very famous youtube cuber.

Well, I guess there's just no motivation, or ideas, to make new videos. I mean, what do you get out of making a tutorial? Lots of pointless questions, or simply no views.
And when they want to make videos, there simply isn't anything new or original to do...

It appears someone doesn't know the meaning of generic.

Well, general means common. So when emocuber said "The people you mentioned are so generic", I thought he was referring to youtube cubers that were most famous or most watched.

False. And "generic" and "general" aren't really related.
