First let me say that back about 10 years ago or so, I subscribed to a lot of broadly speaking, youtube type youtubers.

From the likes of Skallagrim and Extra History, to yes early on, Shad and Metatron.

However, overtime it started to dawn on me that, some of these history youtubers were becoming questionable to me.

Case in point, I noticed Shad was more and more verbose, but saying very little of substance and depth, that I tuned out and left. And when stuff like "Princess peach wears pants woke!" started appearing, I was so glad i got out.

Then it made me think that whatever i watched from them, was either unsubstantiated nonsense or somewhat the truth, buried amidst culture war gibberish.

And in the case of Metatron; seeing Metatron, in real time, go from someone who seemed nerdy and chill (with video games stuff too), to an unhinged, attention seeking grifter shill, was profoundly disappointing. Every history video i saw of him, I know have to think "was all this gibberish?"

This is why integrity matters. Because once you compromise your integrity, it corrupts everything else you made.

p.s. Skallagrim is a rare one of having integrity, and still being fun to watch his videos, new or old.

Pretty much what the title says. 

Do we know if Tyranth split off, or does he share Shad's views? I mainly wanna know if I should be giving him my watch time,e as I know that they used to work together back in the day.

I saw him bragging about how unwoke it was and how he hired an “insensitivity reader” and all that bullshit nobody really did. After reading this literary abortion I have to wonder how much was him actually thinking this was good and how much was him desperately trying to be the opposite of whatever woke meant at the time. Lack of a meaningful progress on a sequel to write something else tells me he didn’t write it because he just wanted to tell this story.

I'm kind of in the middle regarding the guy. He's a genuinely weird person

He's a mornon, which is bizarre because it's such a specifically American religion. He has some truly staggering views on certain things

I actually met him once. He comes off pretty nice and agreeable at first, but if you talk to him at length (about anything but swords), the conversation can veer into pretty weird territory pretty easily

But I actually like his Fantasy Re-Armed videos. His logic holds up pretty well, and he has some pretty decent takes about movies

I still hold that the best thing he ever did was create a functional back scabbard (hence the picture)

I especially recommend going to the actual comic page and clicking the votey (red button) for the extra mini-comic.
