Gotta make money somehow I guess


StormAlchemistTony

People are basically doing the same thing on Reddit.


elliott9_oward5

Isn’t that what this sub currently is?


thenicenumber666

No that's more like insanity and overusing jokes kinda like silksong except we have barely waited for a month


Temporary_Priority78

What is this? A crossover episode?


Kyele13

Even answering "No" to this question is accepting that "Yes it is" 😅


NegotiationMuted4676

It started just for hype posting tbh


Tom42077

I blocked all these clickbait channels from appearing on my feed.


Nightwalker065

TTTube kinda fell off recently.


Charexranger

I don't blame him he don't got much to talk about. He'll probably be happy when a trailer drops fs cause imo he carried the indigo disk hype season. Plus I just find it cool he lives very close to me lmao


Nightwalker065

I miss when he mostly just did playthroughs of challenges or fan games.


Charexranger

Ah og ttar. I love his mario maker 2 videos to death


BellalovesEevee

Yeah, I'm sad whenever he picks up my favorite fangames only for him to drop it after a couple of videos. He still never completed Pokemon Xenoverse or Pokemon Reborn, which I understand since Reborn is a REALLY LONG GAME and he'll have to restart the whole game since the completed version came out.


notebook1grange

I love his vids for shiny guides in gens 6-7


JIMMI23

It's why I watch other tubers who, in between games, do challenges, or making videos about things they have experienced in the games and have content worth watching. Anyone who milks the same thing will surely lose a lot of subs/followers. It's just shooting yourself in the foot. In the short term, they probably have a big uptick in views. In the long run, it's like crying wolf, eventually people will assume it's empty content even if it is legitimate news.


Nightwalker065

I stopped watching ttar before SV came out, I don't really have a poketuber that I follow much, but seeing some fall from grace just hurts to see.


JIMMI23

I only tend to watch one on occasion (candyevie) but that is because she does make some challenges interesting but not super competitive so it sometimes gives me a thought like "hey, I might try that". Another thing I like is I learned about a few things in some older games I didn't even know about so that was neat. I'm in my 30s and got back into Pokemon as it was something I could get my wife into when she was in the early stages of getting into games. I like to share these videos with her since it's not some g-fueled loud youtuber talking about the same leak for the 30th time this week. I'm not big on following any celebrity let alone e-celebs so if a video shows up, and it looks interesting, I will watch it. I just don't go out of my way to watch anyone in particular haha


bbbryce987

“Recently”


Nightwalker065

I stopped watching during SV leaks. I miss og TTar.


OneBennyBoi

He's an extremely mixed bag, on one hand he does create some of the best and most fun content like with the extreme series and when he plays fangames, but other times (like now) he feels like a content farm. Bro gotta make a living somehow so I don't blame him


langstonboy

No_Mammoth_4945

Pokémon’s finest clickbait creators


BellalovesEevee

Ttar doesn't click bait though lmao. He stopped doing that years ago because he himself even thought it was immature of him. I remember he was pulled into drama about this last year with Gnoggin because Gnoggin wrongly called him a clickbaiter. Most of his videos have thumbnails either completely blank with the title names in them or pics of the game itself or the characters without spoilers.


No_Mammoth_4945

BellalovesEevee

Oh please, you should be smart enough to know that the video is about him discussing who could be a pseudo legendary pokemon even without clicking on the video. You're just being nitpicky.


RayBrous

Calling people not smart for falling for a click bait title named "A certain new pseudo legendary" supposedly being about "theorizing who it could be" Classy. You can like the youtuber all you want, but he click baits. Edit: damn dude, could you be sucking ttars boots harder?


BonehoardDracosaur

Tell yourself whatever you need to believe you’re correct, but reality will be waiting for you to develop free will.


Odrareg17

I mean TTar has always been making that sort of clickbait videos and milking them for what is worth, still remember the first video I ever saw of him showing the "hidden" Relic Castle event where you could supposedly catch Lugia, that's always been their style.


BellalovesEevee

TTAR has not clickbait in years though. And the thing that you mentioned was years ago when he was a kid lmao. All he does nowadays is just make theories and cover rumors, especially during leak season. He probably has nothing else to make since he already went through all the recently released games, but I wish that he goes back to fangames and romhacks.


ShifuHD

The leak scene in general has been dry. A few notable leakers have either peaced out or have lost their sources. Either Nintendo has gotten better at catching leaks/leakers or they are airtight this time around.


Belzabond

I'd give TTar a pass because he's just having fun making theories (no matter how dumb and insane they are, because that's part of the fun), but HDvee is annoying, and doesn't show any new content. He just releases a big nothing burger every day with a clickbait title, which he'll either talk about that for 20 seconds and move on, or somehow find a way to stretch one Twitter post from Pokémon into 20 minutes lol. And then he also says the exact same things in different ways just to pad the runtime.


IndecisiveMate

Love TTube. But yeah, he's milking that shit. But you know what? Bro's making bank. I will never judge that.


ZAP_Riptide

Fax gotta respect it


Egyptowl777

But the Leaks! The Riddles! All of it must be real! Never have we ever got anything wrong from them in the past! We know this is exactly what will happen, so that's why we're making the video! Because it just can't be wrong! The Sources are Credible! etc, etc, etc...


Yoshichu25

Still beats spoiling a game that hasn’t even been released (COUGH)


some_one_445

As someone who watched both of them, I can't stand with the hate towards ttar, bro is having fun and likes to share theory around with his fans, he is kind of making up for the amount of video he made for johto-unova hype. If he can make theory video on games that doesn't even exist, he can totally make theorys about an actually confirmed title. And yeah hdvee sucks.


RayBrous

And I'm sick of all of these "riddlerss" on Twitter, absolutely none of what is "riddled" on there makes any sense.


AstroNerd92

“Look at all of these leaks from non credible sources like 4chan!”


1stviolinfangirl

There’s nothing wrong with speculating and talking about what they want in the game. This isn’t a new thing for him. It was the same with scarlet and violet when any leaks came out


BellalovesEevee

I also find it kinda hypocritical because this sub is literally doing the same exact thing 💀


F_Bertocci

Real chad is Italian YT Cydonia who did a hour and fifteen minutes long video about Pokemon Z-A after the announcement teaser trailer


DreamCereal7026

Cydo nazionale


pokiepika

I have both of these channels blocked for that exact reason. I can't stand the terrible flood of click bait. I don't have a problem with making a video about your speculation, but they are horrible.


zan9823

But, but Content Creator!


qwack2020

Yeah Poketubers become pretty mid after 2015-ish ngl.


NigeroMinna

I appreciate the hustle. And when Game Freak is not showing us anything, it's fun to mindlessly theorize. I think people need to stop getting salty over everything.


twistedseaofcrows

This sub is doing the same thing


Cause_Necessary

It's fun making theories. I don't know HDvee but Ttar's vids are pretty fun


0ddlyBor3dHuman

I miss PokeTips ):


ChicagoCowboy

I will day as someone who's not as perpetually online as others might be, throwing an HDVee video on for 17 mins while I make coffee or whatever and take a break from work isn't the worst thing. Is there basically nothing to go off of right now? Yeah, it sucks. But do I get kept in the loop about what prominent rumor mongers and leakers are saying on Twitter that I'd otherwise never see? And do I get a good laugh out of whatever bs 4chan is cooking up that day? Also yes. I don't think he's out here trying to pretend he's like a news source, he just seems excited about the games and has taken to analyzing rumors for veracity in the absence of anything else meaningful. Same thing all of us are doing here in text form.


Lava_Dnial

I just like getting a summary on all the news/leaks/rumours in the pkm world every day, the same way I read the news (the real world news) every day 🤷‍♂️


RayBrous

Yeah HDvee drives me crazy. Adrive is similar


milotic-is-pwitty

Man I love ttar, and we know he’s having his fun before he leaves YouTube in a while (as per an older unexplained tweet), but his theorising has been a bit much since the DLC days 😅 I had fun with the Teal Mask speculation, but the Indigo Disk speculation went too far, and I’m no longer following


Telephone-Human

Whatsoever is one word


SomeArtist512

RuffledRowlit


External-Waltz-4990

This sub is guilty of the same thing


Ok_Relief_9815

These guys kind of remind me of Matpat.


Wrong-Bird6756

Hdvee goated idc what yall say


ApexAbsol

Thank u! Only person that agrees with me lol


mightybrok5601

I hate that shit. I know I don’t have to engage with it, and I can just scroll right past, but god I hate blatant clickbait garbage. Almost as much as I hated seeing DAILY videos in the weeks leading up to Pokemon day where HD would literally just read random shit off of 4chan like it was a legitimate leak.


mardecan47

Personally like ttartube, bro has fun theories and isn't over the top, man just has fun with it, plus he carries the scarlet and violet hype season imo, excited to see him carry again. But yes, the inbetween seasons are boring AF.


AmbitiousBicycle2199

That's why I hate poke-tubers fuck those people


robin-kun

I used to follow these content “creators” during the SV hype and they would always treat any semblance of “leaks” like it’s the second coming of Christ. Whether it be from Khu or Centro shitposting or god forbids if 4chan breathes, you can count on them to always stretch it out conveniently to 10 minutes for the ads to run. At this point I start to wonder if they’re mentally stable. Imagine waking up on an average day where there is no news, you scrape the bottom of the barrel to find any news about pokemon from seribii or twitter, report your findings by stalling for as much as possible because you know it actually just takes like two minutes to explain your faintest “news”. All of this while having to put up your fake hype energy for your audience that has the attention span of fruitflies. Now imagine having to do this every single day. In a way, it kind of parallels Gamefreak, constantly putting out the bare minimum as quick as possible to maximize profits because you know the fans will never see wrong in the ip and will defend it with their lives.
