I’ve noticed this too. It’s precisely why I gave up on reviewing. At this point This isn’t an art form, it’s saying what people think they want to hear without expressing yourself and pretending to sound smart while doing so. Not that you’ve actually done these as if they were manufactured, but I’ll get more into that. Reviewing now just feels so... hollow y’know? Like I’m speaking but it’s to a brick wall and nobody really cares because they’ve heard this story over and over again...

Over the years I’ve realized something quite frightening: people aren’t allowed to have their own opinions when doing this stuff, and those that do they tend to be far too aggressive and unpleasant for most. This Enter, was your biggest problem over all besides the anger. A lot of the time some of the things you said felt like they weren’t your own; and the same can oftentimes be said for myself. And the anger itself was... well again “that’s right I’ve told the story over and over again”. It was unpleasant without a real focus, and oftentimes it really felt like you were just angry for the sake of it.

Being all aggressively angry and worked up over an episode of spongebob... Elf Bowling, Da Boom Crew, ReAnimated... I’ve realized how offputting that really sounds. Especially when you go after the people writing the show and sound like you wanna kill them. I know deep down you were holding back on insulting people like Seth McFarlane and reposting those mistakes. Holding the show runners and executive producers accountable for things like a bad moral or poor writing is what a critic should do; what you’re not supposed to do is attack them directly. Isn’t that right Lillian V. Orchard? Enter, trust me when I say you’ve improved greatly even with your missteps. Nobody’s perfect, but by your own persona people have come to you expecting the absolute worst you can offer them.

People who come to you expecting you to hate whatever you throw their way is a truly horrible feeling. Having animated atrocities overshadow admirable animations tends to make what your doing seem very one trick pony-ish. Where you gotta psyche yourself up and be as loud and angry as humanely possible... the feeling is never good after the fact when your overlooking the finished product and realize: “have I even learned anything from doing this for so long?”

In my case I wanna get better, I really do! But even when I try to be less aggressive and nice and polite people gotta remind me of my lashing out and shitting on you among other things. I will never not regret being so horrible towards you Enter,  I don’t know what came over me; yes I do, I thought I was the big dick boy in campus and superior to a man who literally lives off doing this while I did it for free in text form... like I seriously knew better than someone who edited their own videos for YEARS when I made... NOTHING.

I have no idea if I’ll ever truly get better or get past the things I’ve done. How could I? How could I have been so unpleasant for so many years and even now still be so petty. But more on the fact regarding YouTube and the ides of making any job off there:

In this day and age YouTube is less a job and more a game of King of the Hill where you gotta be as deceitful, lazy and conniving as possible to con people out of those views and watches to make the most money and take the algorithm in the palm of your hand. In the beginning it was aggressive like James Rolfe and Doug Walker; now it’s pirating tv episodes in poorly edited formats and bad lists.

Youthbe used to be a free platform where you could do things most others could only dream of. Where you could have an adult Audience without worrying about The fcc or angry parents. Now they wanna sanitize all that and ruin the careers of millions who built themselves in being even slightly edgy while they ignore things like cat killings or god forbid one hammer one icepick...

Let me just say that I have no idea what you’re going through, but from what I’ve been hearing it’s an ugly ugly sight. I sometimes wonder if people ever actually cared about ME and not just my fetishes or the fact that I took your format like several others and became a name over something that ain’t even mine.

You have gotten better MrEnter. But where did the magic come from that allowed you to be the very best you could be? Where is my own magic? I’m praying it didn’t come from being a prick... because if people still expect me to be that way towards you, your staff or anybody who I disagree with... that’s not a fun place to put my mind at...

I blame the people who don't want to hear other opinions, they just want reviewers get angry and go into cursing fits
personally I felt that's where a lot of nostalgia critics popularity comes from,
(to my memory) he didn't even review ponyo, he just riffed on it for over 20 minutes.
