YouCuber argument thread

He's not good enough to be obsessed over and simped

What is your definition of “good”
How good does ones videos have to be!?!?

 

[Deleted member 55877]

So whom do you think would be good enough to be obsessed over. Just curious.

No one! Obsessing over one specific channel is bad for other channels, and so I don't support the idea.

His fame and obsession was earned from his quality videos.

He didn't get famous just because of his quality, he also got really lucky. Other channels of equal (or greater) quality usually don't receive as much attention for a reason. Examples: Cube Master and Cyoubx have amazing quality videos greater than J Perm's imo and yet they have far less subs

So you are saying you would rather have the fame spread out through other channels. I guess that's fair. But currently reality is supporting Jperm : P

Lemme go get my popcorn while I follow this thread.

They get far less attention. Cube Master doesn't even have 5k subs

Well hexacuber, how do you consider Jperm's vids to be inferior to other yt channels?

I never said they were superior, I said they were really good.

 

[GAN CUBER]

Ew

Jperm is by far the best channel for tutorials. I don't watch "entertainment cubing videos", cause that's what the whole rest of YouTube is for

I agree with you Jperm is not that kind of guy and makes more tutorials

Also cube solve hero is entertaining but that's pretty much it. He breaks down cubes but doesn't say anything interesting about the pieces or the cube performance. Though 3x3s are so similar these days maybe the little shape change doesn't actually matter.

Cubing Encoded is literally a reaction channel which is good if I guess if you're into reaction videos.

Tony Fisher and Cubing Historian videos make me feel like I'm in 2010 youtube. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[cyoubx]

J Perm deserves the subs and attention he gets. I'm sorry if some people aren't willing to see that. Also, it's not like people who subscribe to J Perm aren't allowed to sub to other channels.

I agree with all your statements, but cubesolvehero is pretty funny in some videos. His 10 things you didn't know about jperm and scr were really funny, and his joke videos are good. But it is true that he does R2 L2 on a cube and says "Amazing, Best cube I ever felt."

I'm not too sure in saying this, but many YouCubers miss out the aspect of news to the community. TheCubicle, or SpeedCubeShop, are the best in reporting new hardware and puzzles, but never have I seen some YouCubers to give out news about any new WCA regs. Yes, Jperm is one of the best go to places for tutorials in my opinion, however, when it comes to just entertainment cubing videos, I think I prefer Tingman for this. As for unboxing, JRCuber kinda lost his charm for me, and I think I would stick to cubing shop channels for those.

some replies:
1. speedcubeshop drags on a little bit in new cube videos, and the cubicle is much more time-efficient. I would prefer some other unboxing than a scs new cube video.
2. cubemaster does vids on news I think, and I also made one about the 11 m pro and qiyi 6x6.
3. Tingman is overrated IMO, for entertainment, there are other better channels
4. I agree about jr

I don't think they're that funny

Z3Cubing does good April Fool's videos and his video ideas are actually very creative. The ones on the world's lightest and world's heaviest cubes are very entertaining.

SCR did news and CBC (back when he posted videos) experimented with some news segments.

I still like JR Cuber because I think his videos are very well put together (kinda like Marques Brownlee style) and he and CBC were the ones that got me back into cubing in 2018.

I watch a lot of cube reviews because I like to see people's thoughts on hardware. And it's entertainment for me.
I'm slow but I love buying and trying out different puzzles.

My 2 favorite cubing YouTube channels are Cyoubx and Cubehead. Cubehead's videos are hilarious and I really enjoy seeing Cyoubx's projects.

Getting lucky isn't a crime!

I don't really bother watching much of cubing videos these days aside from a small number of channels, because most of it is honestly kind of boring? (This thread gave me a few channels to look into, though. Might check those out sometime.)

J Perm is legitimately knowledgeable about many aspects of cubing and he shows this. It's also worth pointing out that he's still actively speedcubing and he occasionally redoes old videos to incorporate new meta; it's not a "dead" resource like the CubeSkills channel or many other old tutorials.

Lai S Cube has interesting in-depth reviews on big cubes, with a focus on their mechanisms. Unfortunately, his video quality is… kind of awful, in contrast to his otherwise decent production quality.

Cube shops / people who primarily do reviews: mostly lost interest in these post-COVID since I haven't really bought much of anything. Reviews of just-released products are often biased, and if I'm not even going to buy it soon, I might as well just wait to see if the product catches on in the community.

 

[abunickabhi]

J perm is the best. No doubts about that yo, U' L2 F U' M U' M' U2 F' L2 U .

 

[FishyIshy]

My two favorite channels are JPerm and Lazermonkey. I've been watching both of them since I started and JPerm taught me how to solve the cube anyway
