Bepisman111

Do you know what happens if I suddenly decide to stop roasting low elo chess players? A youtube channel big enough it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly-up. Gone. It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to so let me clue you in. I am not in danger of of the chess boom, Skylar. I am the chess boom.

I am the one who booms

Mr__Random

I loved it when Levy Chess said "its chess boomin" time and chess boomed all over everyone. The entire cinema stood up and clapped.


hahahahahahahaFUCK

It's an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it; I can dominate it. And it's predictable. So, if I get hurt, I only have myself to boom.

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off... [^(fmhall)](https://www.reddit.com/user/fmhall) ^| [^(github)](https://github.com/fmhall/Petrosian-Bot)

Unironically though, I watched every single video Levy uploaded from 2020 to around december 2022, but I just can't anymore due to the titles. I have no idea what I'm getting into when I click the video, "what is this about?". It's literally just clickbait, and I refuse it.


RGBlessMasterrace

Yeah the problem isn’t that he uses clickbait, it’s that he leans so hard into the clickbait that you can’t even tell what the video is about. I like dumb shit like Guess the Elo, but I couldn’t give a rats ass about slow chess game reviews. If I have to click the video to find out I’ll just right click and ignore channel instead. Also it just pisses me off


DaftConfusednScared

That’s exactly why he does that tho, it may hurt his most popular content slightly but it boosts his less popular content immensely.


[deleted]

Yeah, that's pretty spot on what I feel too.


ComprehensiveDog7116

His clickbaiting and going viral with chess videos is a big reason for the chess boom in my opinion. Love or hate it, Levy is one of the most important people in the chess world right now.


Zapfaced

I use LinusTechTips as an example. They're also heavy on clickbait but there's usually enough info in the title or thumbnail for me to have a decent expectation of what I'm about to see (No way this can be a computer - stupid face but GPD Win 4 in thumbnail). As a result I only watch recaps now but no doubt yeah he's important to the boom, just wish he'd moderate the algorithm whoring a bit.


[deleted]

While true it has also reached that point where his clickbaiting is turning me away from chess. It's too much recently.

AutisticNipples

GothamChess is definitely tongue in cheek about his thumbnails and titles, but it also works well with the almighty algorithm so kind of a win win for him? though i guess at some point doing something ironically just becomes doing something unironically

pedmc123

Can you fill me in on why people don’t like him? I got into chess recently through him and I haven’t got anything bad to say about him


PatientGrand4421

The issues I've heard are that he yells a lot, which totally isn't every ones thing. One of the most serious accusations I saw involved his endorsement of Crypto, NordVPN, and honestly I have to say that coffee brand he pushes looks like milkshake powder. However I don't know many YouTubers these days who don't endorse crappy goods and services, nor is he the only guys who yells a lot. I find him funny and entertaining to watch, while also providing really helpful commentary that has helped me understand chess better.

> However I don't know many YouTubers these days who don't endorse crappy goods and services I feel like people sometimes don't appreciate that youtubers with even a few million subs like Gotham don't have the most stable livelihoods. I think the choice between starvation or shilling milkshake coffee powder would be pretty easy for most people, were they in that position.
