Do you still watch the Yogscast? Let me know!?👇
I dont. There dead to me after what they did to madcat
I miss their minecraft content and their technic yogbox.
not really becuase thier content is boring i miss the minecraft. i loved the acnh series that simon as doing on twitch when it came out but like everything they just stopped doing it unless it was gta
No
I love their TTT stuff and I watch their variety content when it catches my interest
Literally the only thing they'd have to do is post "Shadow of israphel episode 43" and it would be tending immediately
I dunno man, I can't avoid feeling like this whole genre of "HORRIBLE DOWNWARDS SPIRAL OF X (SO SAD!!!)"-porn is unhealthy for both creators and viewers.
I like reminiscing personally! It's nice to see the times you remember so well :)
what porn? did I miss something
@@ReytGoodI don't know if I'd call this video reminiscing really
Honeydew's skin is soooo nostalgic
Too right! 😫
absolutely
I remember during highschool, watching these guys a lot. But over time lot their unique content started getting more generic, and seeing a variety of memebers either leave or vanish is sad.
They fired all their artists and then had to do the Fighting Fantasy stream (the artist one) so they just got Sjin, Tom, and Barry on to draw and it was the worst stream I've ever seen. It's like a fucking apprenticeship scheme there, I don't know half of the people in Yogs anymore, and as soon as you learn who they are, they're gone. The Yogscast died when they went from a group of friends to a company. It really hit me last Jingle Jam, when Simon said someone in Yogs was his friend- I remember thinking "oh yeah, they're employees in a company, there's people there he probably doesn't even know."
I feel like the yogscast content matured at a bad rate. I lost interest at some point and only came back a year or so ago. I suspect they could find major success if Simon and Lewis starred in a Minecraft series again but I get the impression that Simon is unable or unwilling to devote enough time to that.
This is very true!
I don’t think it’s Simon who’s not willing to do it
I actually think it may be that Lewis will not devote the time or resources into it
Duncan has blatantly said he won’t play Minecraft ever again as he doesn’t like the game and finds it boring - but then 3 months later is playing Minecraft vault hunters with Ben and some other people iv never heard of before
Simon for a time ( I’m not sure if he’s stay doing it) did play Minecraft on twitch on his own channel so thire is videos to prove that he’s still interested and playing the game
I just don’t think Lewis wants to play it but if they had made Simons videos of him playing Minecraft and released them on the main channel I would have 100% watched them
@@nathan10014ify with ben and harry you mean? harry, the person literally running the yogscast, whos been an active member since tekkit days? Also simon and gee stream themselves playing minecraft constantly. like its all either of them do all day
The yogs lost me when they pulled in every other creator (Or just "upcoming creator") they could get their hands on.
Fell in love with them back in the Minecraft days. And watched every single thing they uploaded. I mean the main channel.
I'd watch Duncan/Hannah/Sjin sometimes... Sips religiously. To me, the original crew.
They've pulled in some good creators. Hat Films and Angory Tom are great. I know it's very subjective. But you kinda know what (Who) you're getting when you click on their videos. The main yogscast channel is filled with people I don't care about at all. People I find extremely uninteresting and/or have no clue who they are... They just came out of nowhere. They're not The Yogscast to me. It feels like being force fed people I never chose to subscribe to.
So yeah... I'm still subbed. But I really only watch Hat Films and Tom once in a while. I'd still watch Sips if he did his old school edited stuff... I'm not into Twitch gaming whatsoever, with them pausing every 2 minute to talk to chat and whatnot.
To be honest I completely agree!!
they need to do a tekkit 2 series.
true!
i still find the yogscast entertaining. my biggest issue with the yogscast now is, well.. the cast. it's filled with a bunch of creators i had never even heard of. it used to be a very rich community with such vibrant personalities. now i look at the cast and can barely tell the difference between like half of them. there's also the issues with the old cast members having to leave for whatever reason. so nowadays the yogscast to me is like a brand. not a series of producers that i look forward to watching. i still enjoy their podcasts, and simon & lewis is such an iconic pair that it's almost not possible to not be entertained. but in the end. the yogscast is not who they once were. the golden age has passed, but such are the times. as older audience disappears and newer, younger audience arrives. the content must follow
Me too! It's a shame but everything changes and even the best times leave
There is absolutely no way you enjoy them uploading the same shit 3 games on the main channel?
@@calebpipet Unga bunga, your question is invalid
I think you should give the new content creators a chance, theres really not that many and they're all women, so idk if you just have a problem with that or something. But sarah is genuinely one of the funniest people. Shadow is chill and doesnt make a ton of content but she doesnt ever really detract from anything either. Gee matches simons energy perfectly and anytime they're together is perfect. And kirsty and briony are an amazing duo of cursed yet strangely wholesome comment and have real "heterosexual but also married to each other" energy.
@@ThriftyNiftyy I'm an old school Yognaught, but I quite like Gee. I like her streams with Simon, and I like them both in YOMP with Bouphe. As for other new people, I don't care enough tbh. I don't know who Shadow is and it seems like she's been there 2 minutes, Kirsty and Briony seem okay but they just seem normal and pretty boring, and I dunno who tf "Boba" is but it feels like she's all they talk about sometimes. I remember a girl called Mousie showing up a few years back on one stream and annoying the shit out of everyone and then she was never heard from again. It's just a constant revolving door of mainly women, as you say, that aren't really interesting or unique. But from what I've seen of Sarah on the Jingle Jam, yeah, she is funny and I'd like to see her on Mystery Quest or something.
I lost interest when minecraft stopped. I loved their modpack series and especially israphel. I remember me and my friend would be so hyped when a new episode releases. But after it suddenly ended especially on a cliff hanger kinda started the downfall. But minecraft kept them going. But then it just stopped and just copied other youtubers like Vanossgaming and all that. It's stuff ive seen other people do. It feels like just copying others to stay relevant and it's just not working. I've seen comments when they first stopped wanting more minecraft and then it just seemed that people stopped waiting and hoping and moved on. I know cause I was one of them. I didnt enjoy the garrys mod stuff or other games they did very much. Vanoss already has garrys mod and other games as his specialty and makes them unique and interesting while also not feeling like he just copied others cause it was working. I'm still a fan of Lewis and its interesting to know he is one of the most influential men in Britain that was interesting to learn that.
But it's just not the same without Minecraft, israphel or modpacks series. I enjoyed it more. I remember listening to their series while playing minecraft myself. But once minecraft stopped coming it just went downhill. Sad to see to this day they're getting less views. I checked today when I saw this video and saw they were doing even worse than before and I think they lost a million subs? I'm pretty sure they had more than 7 million. Their videos are barely getting views now. Its enough to keep them going but nowhere near as the amount of views they'd get from minecraft related stuff.
I still wish they would just go back. It was the death of a golden era when they stopped.
bruh everything you wrote is so true!!!!!
I remember coming home from school every day hoping they had released a new Jaffa Factory episode and being ecstatic when they did! Trucking Tuesday, Weird games, the Yogpod too! I still watch those videos even to this day but I simply cannot bare their new content at all.
@@elektra81516 they do the same thing now even when it's clearly not working. They copy other content but don't move on. Their return to minecraft stuff no doubt blew up faster than whatever they do now. I don't care for it. Prop hunt is just meh
They've had about 7 million subs for around 8 years now. It's fluctuated a bit, but for a while it's just been going down very very slowly. But their average views have gone from about 250k per video to about 150k in a few months. I think the corporatization of the group and Simon's hiatus back around 2015 was the start of the downfall, around the time they stopped doing Minecraft and started bringing in more people that no one cared about.
@@keybladegames_real Their latest video is literally copying Hot Ones. They've also copied Taskmaster and The Traitors, both UK game shows. They're doing more Minecraft lately, but it's too little, too late and I don't know half the people in the videos. They're not innovative anymore. I remember no one had done anything like Shadow of Israphel before, and while podcasts weren't a new thing, the YoGPoD was insanely popular because it was back before literally everyone had one- it was the first podcast I listened to. They regularly make very tongue-in-cheek jokes about how they know they're irrelevant now, talking about back when they were famous. It's actually sad.
Political correctness amongst other things ruined them. I remember their 2011/12 stream with the incredibly “offensive” impressions
Adoseofbuckley made a video titled "dead channels" and to summarize he pretty much said that all channels that are "dead" are not dead. They are still creating content,but they are just less popular. He also made a point that everything dies and even one day MrBeasts popularity would decline. I agree with him.
true!
At this point youtube has changed as well.
Content like the Yogscast is just to old for the ADHD ridden Zoomers and the super consumption model that is Tik Toc videos.
Definitely 😂😂
what happened with all the other yogscast crew tho? i was never massivly into yougcast as a whole but loved yogscast hannah and kim ect they kinda just vanished
Hannah started to distance herself after she broke up with Lewis. She became quite politically radical and had to leave because she doxxed a child. Kim left CZcams to do Twitch, so I haven't really heard anything of her in years, but she's supposedly still a member. Sjin was fired because he was sexually harassing fans, same with Turps, and a newer guy called Caff. Zoey has just stayed the same and drifted away into obscurity, streaming twice a year or so. Sips streams often, I think, and he's still a member but just does his own stuff really, but he has a podcast with Lewis and PyrionFlax called TriForce. And my favourite, Simon, has gone along a similar path. He had a long hiatus around 2015 due to illness and has been involved less and less ever since. He does his own streams and podcasts now, but they get mediocre views. Sad to say, but the golden age of the Yogscast is long gone.
Something that isn't mentioned here that is good to note is that Yogscast actually own their own Video Game Publishing company and also a very successful games marketing agency called Forth Floor Creative. Despite not growing their main channel, I'd say they are very successful.
No one can stay on top forever, and shouldn't even try. I loved these guys for years, glad they're still doing great, hopefully the reduction in their fame doesn't sting
Nothing would ever make me forget about yogs
Simon and Lewis still pulled decent numbers
True!
Ah yes. the patented 'Copy SunnyV2's homework and change it slightly' approach
Left out a lot of negative things that happened. This is a puff piece and far from the truth.
I didn't want to touch into all that tbh, wanted to remember all the good bits
@@ReytGoodthat doesn't sound very BRUTAL.
i likedtheir minecraft content but also their ttrpg and other things like that, they really creative book adventures were what really made me into playing dnd and other things
Minecraft was public since 2009 buddy. It was a full release in 2011 but people were already all over that shit...lol.
It really sucks though, as I was in there for their minecraft and storytelling/playing off each others characters. They were very good at interacting with one another during minecraft sessions as it allowed for a more chill atmosphere while also getting action packed at the right moments while something like GTA cars and TTT is just a constant action, which does not give much room for funny interactions other than screaming~
wdym? their interactions has been as chaotic in GTA and TTT, and it's not constant action, they went podcast mode half the time
@@nationeer Only when something does happen, whether they are getting attacked by a zombie or getting nuked. But there is a lot of downtime that they make up with by talking. Their GTA and TTT stuff is TikTok material of having something going on the screen while talking about something else.
All of use that tuned in for old yogs content were likely depressed, lonely and isolated teenagers - early twenties that found comfort in the banter and 'community' of the yogscast. But we've simply grown up, and formed lives of our own. Whether you've realised it on your own, or just starting to see it now, the yogscast are disingenuous. They farm depressed, isolated kids for subs/donations, brand deals and ad revenue. You got bouphe saying how much she 'loves you', how you 'mean so much to her', rating teenagers faces on her stream a while back. You got Boba with an onlyfans account, and some of the other girls. You got spiffing brit saying if you don't buy CZcams premium you're basically 'pirating' his content. It's an elite club, and they used us for years. We were lonely, we found comfort in their content, and they knew that. They banked on it. They kept reinforcing being a 'yog' and how much our support meant to them, but it never stopped them shilling every brand deal they got on us, or hiring their sisters and cousins and mates from school to be content creators, editors and whatever. They never recovered from the Sjin/turps atrocities, and to me that was just the most vile, extreme end of the same spectrum. Sjin wants your nudes, bouphe, boba, Lydia, Simon, lewis want your love and support. It's a spectrum, and I wouldn't be a part of it anymore. Just because we're down and depressed doesn't mean we need these guys. They thrive on it. Our sense of 'belonging' was all for emotional spending: donations, subs and tips. They don't care how they farm viewers, as long as they have enough to meet brand deal criteria. The yogscast are social parasites.
One question just for some purpose whats your username
that's a secret ;)
@@ReytGood must be a jerry jackson throwback
while the downfall is there, for the protocol, calling the yogscast dead is an insult to them and to everyone of their avid subscribers. eras pass and times change, and so does youtube. with an ever growing and complicating algorithm, the need for new, innovative content is gonna come sooner than later any once in a while. the reason the yogscast isnt at the peak anymore, is that they missed their timing to focus not only on minecraft. if they wouldve played gta and garry's earlier, we wouldve probably seen a slow downfall only on these days, as we see in a large number of other content creators. they just did, and are still doing, what they love. no matter how ludicris their humor is, and no matter how repetitive their videos get, they stick to what they love and do best, and just do it. their era has just....passed away. we can only hope that one day, with the ever growing cast of creators and editors alike, the yogscast will once again find something they can build a revolution upon.
thanks for coming to my TED talk XD
I love the YOGS
I'm a massive fan of the Yogscast and they're a massive part of my childhood, but it's dead. At least what it used to be. I subbed when it was still BlueXephos, before they had a million subs. It used to be Simon & Lewis and sometimes Hannah. Now it's Lewis and a bunch of people I don't know or care about playing games I don't care about and trying their best to be relevant. Even when they try to revive old formats, like Lewis and Simon podcasts, or Minecraft stuff, it still doesn't get more than maybe 300k views, because the old fans left, and the news fans weren't around when that stuff was popular.
Clickbait ah title
Debatable 🤨
I stopped when they got rid of Sjin, he and Lewis and Dunkan were the best of Minecraft in my opinion, hat films were good also
in fairness Sjin did stuff that he really should not have done
They have changed the name of their channel
About 10 years late. We were calling it "Yogscast Lewis & Sips" back in 2015.
Thing is, alot of their fanbase was based on minecraft, but it seems now they really only do TTT ,Gmod, and GTA videos. Kinda like how vanos'ss channel went on EZ mode because the content is ok but its not bad, but he has enough cult following to keep stable, but its not great content anymore. What makes it great is the people who play in their content (nogla,delirious,terrorizer,panda,etc and make it super funny, thats why people keep watching it. But content wise, its stale, boring and its just kinda bad. I really think they could go back to having sips,simon, lewis, duncan, and a few other minecraft youtubers and do small series like what they use to do back then. I think its time they go back to their roots one more time, if it can work for captainsparklez it can work for them. However I think since roosterteeth is now partnered with them in 2020, they may have a different outlook on stuff. But I for one and getting sick of TTT videos, yes they are funny, but I dont think it should be the main content. I miss TTT being a gag game for the yogscast crew to fight, bicker and have the silly British humor amongst eachother in games and still having other content to watch, now it seems GTA and TTT is the main content on the lewis and simon channel.
Their live channel is mostly full of different content now. But im sure other people like me who dont care for live content because some of us cant sit infront of a screen and watch live not being able to pause, nevermind the most times they stream when most of us are working during the day, I never got into live streams, so I guess call me a die hard youtube fan.However the Lewis and Ben save the world channel seems to still show minecraft content as of recent. But in general im starting to see alot of the yogscast crew doing separate projects, or being more of guests in other yogscast members content more then it is a "everyone is in this series together" kind of thing. Like the moonquest or volts series, that dont happen anymore. And sadly it probably wont because everyone now has their own content, which is fair, they all have to make a paycheck. But I really do wish they would change something. Since each individual content creator made their own channels, they all have their respective fanbases. Other then Jingle Jam, that has been amazing and I hope they keep that up, JJ has literally became a masterpiece that Lewis and Simon have come up with. I hope maybe one day we will see a genuine minecraft series again from the yogs guys. But it seems very unlikely.
I love that comment about how if captain sparklez can do it, so can they!
The folk who watch the main channel don't watch it for Minecraft, so why would they do that?
