youtube video red flags
if you say any of these in a youtube video its a red flag to me. yes, i know i should just let people have fun
- "sorry if i butchered the name" (you can easily look up how to pronounce things)
- bit where youre talking to a smart assistant or chatgpt
- any mention of frutiger aero
- "i reached out for a response, and i haven't gotten one yet as i want to put this video out as soon as possible"
- "skibidi toilet, or whatever you kids say"
- usage of short-lived slang in a video that will likely still be relevant many years later
- pilling up channel stats in an attempt to get you to interact
- anything about lost media that presents itself as a video about lost media
- constant references to something the creator likes (i dont know how to describe this one, but basically imagine a video about a real murder case and the video is presented as an ace attorney case)
- "why is everything so boring now"
- the joseppi/pyrocynical editing style, copied almost exactly yet terribly
- gaming b-roll in a video that isn't entirely related to gaming
- "Twitter, I mean X"
- constant reaction gifs
- watermark that bounces around the screen like a dvd screensaver
- suddenly reacting to tiktoks that are related to what youre talking about
- opera gx
- any usage of "poggers" or any similar terms
- the first minute of the video having good editing and the rest being standard quality
- "yep, that's what we're doing today
- video game music on a video about a serious topic
