Helps that HBomberGuy hasn’t posted endless rounds of response videos. That’s how you milk the drama for views.
Conversely, I’m getting a little tired of Karl Jobst mostly becoming a drama channel against fraudsters like Billy Mitchell or the Open Hand Charity. Those guys do deserve it, but it’s sucking oxygen away from Jobst’s usual commentary on speed running techniques. He’s also working outside his specialty–these are American cases, and he’s a lawyer under Australian law–and not all his claims carry weight.
Thank you so much for this post, I thought I was the only one. The quality of his content has really gone down as a result of him fixating on the drama. I thought his deep dive into rating retro games was good, but he is becoming full of himself. Needs to step back and reevaluate what the channel used to be about. But I’m guessing the drama makes him more money. He wouldn’t be the first youtuber to “go bad” because of the algorithm.
Doesn’t help the fact that his (Karl Jobst) latest video is of course AGAIN about Billy Mitchell: “I Just Exposed Billy Mitchell’s DUMBEST LIE EVER!” I think I’m starting to see a bit of a patern here…
I think people in this section of the comments are a bit unreasonable. Jobst made 2 videos about Open Hands Foundation and the reason to publish the first one doesn’t have to be “drama”. The second… Maybe… But then again, people like “updates” which is also the reason by billy Mitchell videos are coming and they are updates. In both cases, there is a strong relationship between the core theme video games and the “drama”. Open Hands Foundation’s event was about showcasing games and Billy is the best video gamer of all time. God bless billy.
So I don’t think Jobst videos are so… Offtopic. Especially as he talked about Speedrun drama before.
I dunno, I liked seeing HBomberGuy absolutely ruin James Somerton over plagiarism.

I miss when Karl used to be more an investigation and explanation type channel for e-sports
