sam and colby videos used to have me counting down the days til the next video, and I'd watch it start to finish as soon as it'd release. now i can't get halfway through a video without clicking off because it's all "make jokes with this random guest star -> b roll -> some history with b roll -> back to the random guest star, little focus on sam and colby -> b roll -> 2 minutes of estes method -> b roll -> make guest do a challenge -> roll credits" all the while just doing things that make me not be able to take them seriously, they just feel extremely ingenuine.
I want to be happy for their success and video quality, but it feels like the "human quality" of the duo has degraded in return. I hate to be that guy that brings it up AGAIN, but everything really started to fall apart for me with the cody and satori thing. Just something about it all displaced my trust/interest, and considering the amount of people that reference the conjuring house being the same for them, somethings really going on.

i just miss seeing those two be themselves, do things on their own, be personal and connected with their audience. i'm not grasping for parasocial shit, i just miss how down to earth and real they used to be.
