Even if there aren't many tutorials people can make without inventing new methods/puzzles, that doesn't mean youtube cubing is dead. A lot of people get subs just from solve vids and reviews.

Me? no i am just using an example do you want another? there is a thriving cubing community on youtube still. And we all do unboxing reviews small tutorials for eachother. Yes we could go and look at older cubers videos but when we are in this community why not just make it for eachother. The reason I make videos is because i enjoy it. So if someone asks me to make a tutorial and there is already one out there i will still make another one. Maybe thats is just me. But still. Im not trying to advertise myself i was just using myself to make a point

@RCTACameron: He's referring more to the tutorial/tip/method analysis providing YouTube cubers, though.
Solves and reviews won't die out any time soon, for sure .

EDITtopreventmoreandmorepostsfromfastresponses: I was talking to Cameron, and edited to make that known.

 

[Tall5001]

I guess but still any cuber out there is still able to get views and subs and such. Yes many of the older cubers have stopped but the younger generation has to start somewhere to rebuild the legacy

 

[Bapao]

Cube reviews are always handy and there's been a steady flow of new stuff appearing lately...more than just one persons take on a cube is always welcome.

Also, Weston makes vidz liek errday.

His last vid was about 7 months ago =.=

 

[Tall5001]

Thrawst is the only one i know that has made a video in the last like 3 months. Pestvic is sorta doing it but all his stuff latley is skatebording and lame vlogs and stuff

btw. cube collection videos are silly to me.

have you considered that they are people who are not 12 and have a life?

EDIT - more hobbies, different passions, etc.

EDIT - and they're not 12 and they have lives

 

[camcuber]

^^^^ Exactly what makes it hard to balance stuff out. I hate to say it but for me, YouTube is close to the bottom of my To-Do list : /

 

[Tall5001]

Yes i do realize that. Plus im 17 have do 3 other hobbies yet i keep doing videos. I realize they have lives, Yes i know they arent 12. But why wouldnt they at least tell us they wont be posting for a while not just 1 day they disappear?

because they have lives? perhaps they're too stressed out deal with people who expect them to make videos? perhaps they're too stressed out to make a video explaining that they are too stressed out to deal with people who expect them to make videos? sometimes people who make a video about them "quitting" or taking a break get even more stress on them from people begging them to come back.

I for one would just leave. and not worry about it.

That why you dont create a schedule for yourself because then people expect a video from you on that day every week or something like that. If your smart you make a fan base that enjoys your videos when you make then not a demanding audience that expects a video 2 times a week every week. And if you do make a video saying your taking a break then people will understand and if they beg well thats their problem and they arent part of your life so you can easily ignore them. Having been just "left" on and how i feel like well where the heck did they go are they done or taking a break or busy or what. I would enjoy a video that says hey guys im taking a break from youtube for a little. I would say ok and be done with it

 

[waffle=ijm]

you're not a complete nub that complains. most of them are. they will complain after 2 days "ZOMG where are you? you said you'd only be gone for a week and it's already 2/7 of a week." I do agree most youtube cubers are on a timetable that they can't keep. All I'm saying is to give them a break if they can't deliver and don't complain if they don't make a video that doesn't satisfy you. They have already exhausted all their knowledge (as stated before) what more can they deliver?

at least they should put more effort into videos. I'd hate to be a cuber that has to make videos over and over again on how much I haven't improved in less than 12 hours and letting me explain how to solve a puzzle knowing that a better tutorial will show up on the related vids.

EDIT - why the hell am I defending youtube cubers?? >_> I don't even like most of their videos, though I do like them IRL. Ignore me plox.

People grow up, lives change, and newer priorities are set. Not everyone can keep making youtube videos forever, but I applaud those who try. After you make videos for so long, interest start to go down. Personally, I don't care. Youtube cubers have lives outside of cubing and youtube, let them live it.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

I totally agree with this. I was just talking to someone about this (FireFoxFreeze). All of the 5AC cubers kind have abandoned the cubing community. I say whatever video you make, just don't leave us hanging

Seeing my name anytime, screen name or real, only produces a o_0 on face.

My opinion: Some people can't understand that others have responsibilites when time goes on. Seriously and literally, one of Chris's latest videos had a comment saying "Look who hasn't made a video in over a month" or something.

Because we have no obligation to make videos for you.
And its not like I planned to take a long break. I just made videos when I felt like it.

I stopped making videos because of junior year in high school.
I have also cubed less, but I try to keep my OH up.
