    Stephanie Sterling. I like her still, I don’t share many of the complaints that other people field. But her content just didn’t really evolve as my preferences did, and after years of the same complaints it felt like not a good use of my time.

    She’s said many times she doesn’t mind dwindling view counts as long as she gets to make content on her own terms, so that’s fair.

      what is their content? i wonder if thats her coping. because i used to followed some youtubers, said they dont mind declining views, as a cope(they were seriously losing alot of views , and thus money and engagement because they decided to become anti-intellectuals.

        The channel is called The Jimquisition, and it used to be a quite prolific channel for gaming and games criticism. She came out as non-binary and started going by Stephanie (or Jim Stephanie) several years ago, which caused harassment from a lot of online chuds. Her takes on the industry and games development are still solid, as well as her politics. It’s just that she tends to focus on the same pet peeves in the same style of commentary, so I stopped watching after a few years. I actually believe it’s not cope because she’s been consistent in that regard, and she gets most of her income from Patreon rather than YouTube.
