    Quality went off a cliff. The editing was so crucial to the humour he was doing. The other issue is it's hard for him to review essentially the same meal over and over and over when he was a personality driven youtuber. Chicken Shop Date and Hot Ones are essentially video podcast interview shows. I think he should have switched into being a shoe channel cos then he could have set up his own online store and made P's that way without being reliant completely on youtube revenue.

    He was not humble to his fans. I met him with his friend at corner Bath Street and City Road, EC1V, Islington. I politely asked to take a picture with him so I could show my sons as a surprise. My sons had recently put me onto his videos. He menacingly looked at me and showed his annoyance by declining to even shake my hand. This was way pre-covid before we even knew a pandemic was on the horizon. He left me very ashamed and I could not Unsmile, too. His friend remained quiet and I strolled away feeling bad about recognising the chicken agoniser on the streets of Islington. I wish him recovery though, and hopefully he engages with his fans in some way 🤝👊🏿🟥🟨🟩

Not only that, he even referenced other videos where he was wearing different sneakers.

    Guy fell off like 5 years ago, up and coming CZcamsrs can have dips and recover if they make the right choices, if in 5 years he’s been inconsistent and constantly trying to justify lack of uploads and has struggled to get an editor and a plan together for a recovery, then I think it’s safe to say his peak has been and gone, I had personally forgotten about him until I watched this video, many also said he was an unlikeable figure.

  • @Dubb1000
    @Dubb1000 Před 6 měsíci +88

    Nah, the bottom line is, this seems to be a case of becoming successful too quickly. There's only so much times your can review chicken shop/junk food before the novelty wears off. What he needed to do eventually, was re-invent his content. The other two CZcams channels mentioned in this video interview celebrities, which means their channels will have longevity to a certain degree, but, I'd bet my life on it that even they're looking to keep their content fresh and engaging. I hope the Chicken Connoisseur finds something that works really well for him. Also, I hope he finds something that won't potentially compromise his health. Adam Richman from Man vs Food knew that his content wasn't sustainable and decided to put his health first.
