    I was cross faded posting last night. I misread your comment as “wow you’re pretty” and I had a moment like aww, then I was like what the fuck did I post my face on Lemmy?

    But it’s just this. Yeah I think the makeup is stupid. It looks stupid. I’m sure it made him stand out from the crowd to create his initial following, but now he’s really famous. I think he could simplify his life by ditching the makeup and maybe gain even more fans who feel like I do.

    I don’t watch YouTubers. I’m 41 years old. I just got into podcasts two years ago. Everybody says the guy is awesome so live and let live. If he likes his makeup, whatever. He’s got to be tired of doing it by now.

      it does look stupid. and that’s good, because it cultivates on audience of people who can look past that.

      the amount of work that goes into each of his videos is also enough that skipping the makeup would barely make a dent. especially since he uses the marks on his face for tracking.

      i’m 41

      ah so you were 21 when youtube started.

        Wow has it been that long? It’s not that I don’t use YouTube, I just don’t really watch people that do it for a job. I’m sure I’m missing out on a ton of good stuff. I did watch that NZXT expose when it came out and it was very good and I learned to never buy a NZXT component.
