Man, I have a huge list of things like this.
Flappy Bird
Angry Birds
The Fox (that song sounds like ass)
Harlem Shake
Candy Crush (Urgh)
Snapchat
PewDiePie (Aka Giant Twat)
And last but not least...

Minecraft

Well, I just don't see the appeal of it. I mean, you build stuff. Now I know theirs really no limits but I just never did see the appeal of minecraft.

Ah, I see, well I actually said the same thing when I first played it, but I decided to play more, and I saw a lot of reasons to play it.

Well, I never really liked sandbox games so I never really got into it

While I disagree with him, there are way too many useless Minecraft videos out there. How do people enjoy them I am not sure. Sounds like something you would do if you were already YouTube popular and wanted to pander to your fanbase.

Yep, I'm pretty sure I can't think of anything more autistic than watching a minecraft LP.

But then I remember some of the video's I've been linked before.

Like that Bionicles vs Pokemon movie.

That holds the throne for most autistic thing on the internet.

So there's that one particular german Let's Player (also the most well known when it comes to the german LP scene) who had uploaded over1200 Minecraft LPs and each and every one of them sacks in an average of 500k views.

He started doing that Minecraft LP beginning from the 19th October 2010 until 25th January 2014 (i think he's having a hiatus)

I'm so glad i never watched any of his videos, i sometimes peek in the search query to see how far he went BUT MAN HE ALREADY PASSED ONE THOUSAND VIDEOS AND FOOTAGE OF THE SAME FUCKING GAME.

PLEASE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO WATCHED IT.

Can somebody please do a rough calculation how much each and every person that had subscribed to him, wasted on time watching all of his Minecraft Let's Plays?! The videos are around 25~40 minutes long, so maybe finding a middle point to have a even number at the end of the equation would make it easier, it also be very much appreciated if someone would do that.
But i'm very sure it's too much for one to actually spend on watching something THAT YOU COULD PLAY YOURSELF.

every trend since 2010

I imagine that the viewers aren't actually sitting there watching the video.

Maybe they just have it playing in the background, maybe even while they're playing MC themselves.

Then they can concentrate really hard and pretend they have a friend who is playing video games with them.

I saw that before @NEDM, I was like: "segment 954? ...Is it supposed to be a joke on horribly overrun LPs?"

It wasn't.

What's even more jarring is that even minecraft Retsupuraes are boring because of the sheer lack of content. It's on par with watching someone play cookie clicker.
Shellghost
The thing is that with sharing what you do in MC to other people, you should only be showing people the finished product of what you've made because that's the only important part.

A MC LP is literally a video of someone painting a wall. Or a video of sausage rolls cooking in an oven.

Fun Fact: i don't think Gronkh wants to play minecraft anymore. but many people who start minecraft can't stop it because the audience demandss more minecraft and the videoproducer has to live off of something. minecraft is a quick moneygenerator, but good luck stopping to do it when you're fed up with it.

yogscast has a similiar problem if i recall right.

also confirming shellghost, my siblings watch them often while playing minecraft themselves :P

"Help, I can't stop making easy money! I don't want to play the game anymore, but I physically can't stop making easy money!"

If they started making the content they wanted to make, they'd lose the kid audience, but at least maybe they'd be a decent youtube channel.

being a decent youtube channel in your eyes oftewn doesn't pay the bills.

seriously i don't think anyone would want tomake 1200 videos of the same game. it's why he is on hiatus now; the last time something significant happened was probably 1000 videos ago :P

If you're earning your living money from youtube, you've already been very silly. That said, these guys get so many views that I doubt it's a matter of simply "paying the bills"

I also don't like the stupid SAO and SnK hype

If you say even ONE negative aspect you are basically shit on by a bunch of kids calling you a faggot and that you aren't a real "otaku" pff
lol i watched SAO the day it was realeased and SNK i guess thats because im a true anime/manga fan that i read/watch every new realease and carry on watching them if they are good i believe SNK had really good start but if u follow manga u will know how much they ruined it making some of the main characters the bad people from years before is stupid SAO i always thought was genius and they ended it before they ruined it 1st part being better than 2nd but still a good story and amazing artwork on both ~ anime and manga now also get alot of popularity because of the amazing artwork and the reason they were the hype is because their havent been any good new anime or manga recently but these definatly are the best of 2013.

I cannot believe that the generic hip hop that's on the radio today, has become "better" than the music produced in the 90's. What happened to making your own beats? What happened to lyrics with meaning? WHAT HAPPENED??

  1. Future bass
  2. Just today's music in general. You know, the half-dubstep, half-pop kind of music that mostly uses synthesizers? That kind of music is MADDENING to me!
  3. Trumpets being used as saxophones in music videos
  4. Challenges that keep getting weirder and weirder
  5. Desert music videos
