The commentary community is doomed to cannibalize itself and the whole "slop" discourse is just further proof to me. None of these people had anything to say about these "slop" commentary channels when they were seen has cool and edgy, but since they became popular targets now all of these new YouTubers have come out of obscurity to separate real from fake and be bastions of originality and authenticity. And of course, of you look at their other videos, it's all just the same popular subject matter that very other commentary channel is talking about. It's all just this eternal cycle of edgelord criticizes popular thing, gets popular, becomes over exposed, and then get criticized by a fresher, edgier new guy who the general public hasn't become annoyed with. "This guy is washed up, that'll never be me. I'll sustain a career off of being embracive and combative forever!"
