It has been a painful process, but reading these past 30 pages has confirmed my worst suspicions:
Sam Hyde isn't funny anymore.
I'd say he still
is funny but he has transitioned into a character we laugh at instead of one we laugh with.
He's becoming the out of touch boomer he always hated and mocked and I really doubt that he's doing it "ironically". He has followed in idubbbz footsteps of hypocrisy, just completely tone def to what their fans want or think, disregarding their entire past persona that made them famous.
BUUUTTT look at this thread take off. It was pretty stagnant before Sam came after the clip channels and just by existing he still has the ability to make people sperg out and seethe. Particularly idubbbz wife/husband and Beauty Parlor bovine, Anisa. I love a good cow crossover.
I'm not sure why anyone is surprised Sam Hyde doesn't like the idea of people making a lot of money off his content on YT when he's not even allowed to.
This is super fucked up and would piss anyone off but it's not going to work out how he wants it to. He should have let them continue to do free advertising and just been happy for the new eyes on his stuff. Youtube or any other mainstream platform has no intentions to ever let mass shooter/Nazi/pedophile, Sam Hyde succeed. If those channels were able to monetize Sam fucking Hyde then in my opinion they earned it.
Without putting out any of his own money, he had several different channels clipping his (forbidden, barley monetizable) content and growing exposure. Again, without having to put out
any of his own money, some of these channels were able to earn money with their edits, incentivizing them to continue creating funny videos that people liked.
The way I see it, Youtube was basically paying these dudes to promote Sam Hyde without realizing it and he should have rode that wave for as long as possible. Whenever the next round of "adpocalypse" comes through, all Sam Hyde related content may become 100% forbidden. I'm surprised it's not already, it could happen any day.
What a retarded boomer move.
