Who the hell finds watching someone put one hundred layers of nailpolish on for fifteen minutes entertaining?
That's the equivalent of finding watching paint dry on a wall fascinating.
Don't get me wrong; we all have those guilty pleasures that we love to watch on YouTube.
Like myself, I love watching Shane Dawson when I can't sleep.
I get a laugh, get to watch him be a big dork, and, hopefully, I fall asleep.
I watch more on the vlogging/whatever-Onision-is type of YouTubers more now than I do gamers.
I still love Mark and Sean, but they've kind of lost their lustre.
I get hate for watching the Onion King Onision, but I personally think he's hilarious.
Though offensive, I love satire, and enjoy his content.
However,
These channels coming out of the woodwork with these "100 Layers of (Insert Obscure Cosmetics Thing)!!" Are starting to piss me off.
Who seriously wants to watch you put on one hundred layers of foundation, with no editing, to bring in ad revenue since longer timed videos somehow make the algorithm work in your favour?
The answer is, either nobody, or people with way too much time to kill.
I like the parody ones, though. For example, Social Repose (Mother Moth <3) did a video called "100 Layers of My Parents Being Disappointed In My Life Choices", which I thought was hilarious. He listed off a bunch of embarassing stuff to "his parents" over the phone, (I hold doubt, because I would not be brave enough to do that, nor would any sane person) and each seemed to be worse than the last.
I particularly found one line, where he said "my diet consists of a cup of noodles, soda, and crippling depression" hilarious.
Terrible, I know, but it was unexpected, yet perfectly timed.
That, and CrankThatFrank did "100 Layers of Emo", which wasn't nearly as long as most of the layer videos, and was actually pretty okay.
Not as funny as Ritchie, but still pretty rad.
Those are great.
But these forever long videos of the person almost silently applying one hundred layers of random shit onto their body are annoying.
They're like spam, just exploding in mass numbers all over my YouTube.
If you decide you're going to do one, please do me a favour:
1) Put a twist on it so it's not 100% generic
2) Don't make it more than like ten minutes long.
If you like them, fine, to each their own. But the ridiculously long videos are becoming more and more out of hand.
