1) The lucky YouTuber

This person started his YouTube channel in the early days of YouTube, their content is not great, but because they started so early, they accumulated a lot of subs. Most of these subs are inactive ones, but because they have a “large sub count” in this sub, they seem more knowledgable than others. They’ll have 1,000 different posts and comments telling you what to do and how you can be like them, even though their tips is just plagiarized platitude.

2) The Clickbaiter

This person’s content is trash: they are usually not creative, and they chase trends all the time. They search any viral video all day everyday - just to copy it in part or in whole. Everything they do is clickbait and copied elsewhere. They’ll have thousand different video titles most of them contradicting one another.

3) The Commentator

This person is similar to the previous one except they try, although minimally, to come up with some sort of content of their own. Usually, this person watches other commentators on YouTube just so that they have something to commentate on, but they add something to it, maybe jokes, sarcasm, or occasionally some unique angle.

4) The Drama-mills

This person’s entire content is to profit off people’s misfortune; sorta like being a vulture. They are in all platforms and communities looking conflicts, any and all of them. Even if there is no drama between two people, they foster it, and some cases generate it.

5) The Fakes

This kind of YouTuber, which I like to call him/her a fake YouTuber is the worst of this list. Their entire “popularity” and “fame” is built upon buying views and subscribers. Whether they buy views/subs outright by going to these shady sites, or they show in their videos “giving out money”, in all cases, they are fakers.

This YouTuber’s trickery is hard to detect at first, because it is cloaked by a charade of righteousness, when you watch their videos and see them giving out cash, houses, computers, and whole sorts of valuable things to the homeless and people who are in need, it’s hard to hate because he seems a “good guy” at the surface level.

But the reason he is publicizing his “charity” is because without it, you wouldn’t watch it. These homeless people, most of whom are not homeless but actors, are just a vehicle for getting views and eventually ad money. These “unlucky” people you see in the videos are just a charade designed to distract you the fact that the YouTuber is a talentless hack.

Ask yourself, ‘If you removed giving out money part, would you still watch it?’ Exactly, that’s what I thought as well.

7) Political Grifters

This kind of YouTuber is similar to the above YouTuber in that they use trickery and deceit to get fame and fortune. The difference for the political grifters are their strategy is narrow in scope, they only focus to specific sector of the political landscape. There are a lot of people who want their views echoed by an articulate, good-looking, commentator on YouTube, and these people supply that niche. You don’t have to be informed, educated, or even genuine, all is required is to regurgitate whatever your chosen niche believes.

8) Boob-Tubers/Pretty people

This kind of YouTuber relies on their physical attractiveness, they are not educated in a particular subject, informed in any topic, or has any talent; their appeal is their beauty. This kind of person fills the niche that OF left out, someone who wants to watch an attractive woman but are not willing for whatever reason to pay money to them. This person’s unless they have some other talents, their fame is short-lived, however.

9) The e-Scammer

This person is a scammer, but unlike the Nigerian scammer who promises you to send you thousands of dollars because he descended from royal family, or that Indian guy who totally will fix your computer, this kind of scammer want to scam you in a creative way. Either they will try to sell you worthless “drop shipping courses” or “Crypto newsletter” or something to that effect. Their agenda is simple: they attach themselves to some money-making scheme and convince you, if you buy this course, newsletter, or program, you too, can be “rich” like them.

10) genuine professional

This person knows their craft well and they will teach you how to learn it for free. They don’t have a course to sell, a program to enroll, or some scheme you have to buy; they will teach you everything you want to know about their subject for free in YouTube. Their only payment is your attention and Google’s ad revenue. Unfortunately, this kind of person usually doesn’t have millions of subs or views because he is overshadowed by the useless so-called “creators”.

11) The gamer

Although not popular as it used to be, gamers exist on YouTube. If the gamer has any personality, their content is decent, not because of the games they play, but because of their personality. If, however, they don’t have any talent or personality, which is unfortunately the vast majority of gamers on YouTube, that is who you will see on Reddit, I see a guy on Reddit spamming his channel literally 10 different subreddits; most of them has nothing to do with gaming.

What these gamers don’t understand is that people don’t watch you because you play a game, sorta like no one watches PH for the sex itself, people watch you because of your personality. Personality is everything in gaming, if you don’t have it, give up.

What are you adding to the game? Are you funny, have an interesting life, a unique way of looking the world? You have to be different from the rest of gamers.
