    Codebullet. Went from absolute gem of niche content to over the top low-effort content aimed at teens, who presumably bring in the most ad revenue.

      idk man his videaos are still entertaining and hes been doing this for a long time i honestly think that because hes done this for a while hes mellowing out on the effort part and just enjoying being a creator no need to burn yourself out for every vid

        I understand that he had reasons. I personally prefer one good video per year over what he outputs now. I used to be a Patreon for years, also in the one where he didn’t post anything. I am prepared to wait for quality, but this is of course an antithesis to YouTube’s algorithm.

          If you want similar, yet opposite, I would suggest Sebastian Lague. He has a slow output of high quality videos, which are interesting “coding adventures” where he goes in depth about learning some aspect of software. He’s much more relaxed than Code Bullet, but he’s similar in that the videos are primarily about the process of implement some project and showing the failures along the way.

            Oh I’ve been watching Sebastian for years! But codebullet was just so funny and light. Sebastian has some humour, sure, but his videos are all about progress, discovery and learning. I appreciate the suggestion though, thanks!

        I’m pretty sure he said as much when he started doing more short-form facecam videos.

          Yeah he was very straight up with it. And I think kept it to the other channel as promised?

      Yeah I agree. He jokes about things being low effort but they actually are as it feels. Maybe it’s gotten better I haven’t watched in quite some time but he uploads very infrequently too last time I checked.

      Did the YouTuber regress, or did you outgrow the content? CB always took shots at the low prod values and laziness of his videos.
