YouTube has always been one of my favorite social media platforms. However, it's become overly saturated with similar channels. There's only so much that I can take. Not only that, I've outgrown some channels that I was interested in months ago. So it's time for a YouTube cleanse. Here's a list of people I'm unsubscribing from YouTube and why I'm not interested in them anymore.
Good Mythical Morning // The channel is amazing, don't get me wrong. I'm just not watching their videos. If I want to, a quick search will get me to watch at least one video before going to a different channel.
IISuperwomanII // I love Lily, but I'm just not clicking on her videos anymore. I'm more into her vlogs, despite the fact that I'm so behind. As in, I'm only on vlog number ten. Yeah.
Alexa Ilacad // She's a Filipina actress who makes YouTube videos on her spare time. Although I like her, I'm not that interested in her.
ardenBcho // I subscribed to her because of RyanHiga. My crush I've had on him since 2009 has been crushed by their confirmed relationship. Although her singing voice is amazing, I'm not a fan or interested in knowing more about her.
Alexa Poletti // I used to love her bright and cute videos where she showcased a lot of her fandom items and her how to take care of wigs series. However, I'm (currently) not interested in wearing wigs and her adventure into the NYX Face Awards.
AndyBlackVEVO // I love Andy and Black Veil Brides, but his Vevo channel only uploads his music videos, and I can search them up at a later date. There's no reason to have it in my subscription box when he's not coming out with a new album anytime soon.
Anne Curtis // She's a well known Filipino actress who doesn't really make videos. They're more like added TV segments, but either way, I'm not that into her.
I know that I'm going to get a lot of flack for some of these. I can already hear my cousin's voice in my head: You unsubscribed to Lily?! Yes, yes I did. I have over 500 subscriptions, and my feed is too overloaded with the same content. I'll be going through my subscriptions in the upcoming weeks to get it down to who I watch the most. It's only natural for interests to change.
Wow. You're ruthless when it comes to removing clutter from your life. Hopefully the relationships in your everyday life will be treated more gingerly.
ReplyDelete500 subscriptions? I don't even come close to that, but a periodic YouTube cleanse is probably a good idea. As you've stated, if a channel is no longer giving you what you want, it's time to move on.
A similar attitude is probably useful when it comes to television shows. Just because you once found a show pleasantly diverting doesn't obligate you to watch it until it's taken off the air. I was a big fan of the WB/CW series Supernatural for its first 4 seasons, but I felt that story line should have been wrapped up years ago. Still, it continues to have an audience. I'm just not part of it.
I'm a lot more laid back when it comes to my personal relationships with people. I'm always on my laptop or phone, so I have to be more careful of what I consume to make sure I don't end up spiraling into weird topics and such. I also tend to have a small circle of friends who don't mind me dropping off the face of the Earth a few times.
DeleteI've been on YouTube for years which is how I ended up with over 500 subscriptions. It definitely was time for a YouTube cleanse.
One of my cousins told me that I'd like Supernatural, but I just can't watch it. It definitely feels like a show that drags on. I really can't judge it's continuation though as I'm trying to catch up on an ongoing anime that's passed over 800 episodes!
