Some people just want the old Mr. Safety. I miss the old viewers who never complained when I did things just for the sake of doing them.
As much as he annoys me, I sometimes actually feel bad for the guy. Somebody brought up YouTube Comedy Week on his Twitter and he was bewildered, even asked how to get into it. He is completely out of the loop when it comes to what YouTube is these days, and it doesn't help that he's getting conflicting information from the loudmouth fankids. What's worse, the few people that try to offer genuine constructive advice get drowned out as supposed cyberbullies or haters and he walks away blocked from another chance to learn.
He needs to accept that the world he inhabits has changed. Back when he started people didn't mind watching random simple videos like his because they just wanted to watch ANYTHING on YouTube. He was a big fish in a little pond. There is now so much saturation of content like his, let alone the professional content they all have to compete with. I don't think it's his ego (or at least only that)-I honestly think he's been insulated from reality and how things have developed beyond the old ways he does things.
If I was going to suggest something, it would be for him to stick to vlogs to keep his viewer base around but take time off on his own original content. Then I would suggest he work with other people on theirs, even if just as a cameraman or extra. Redevelop some positive relationships in the community and learn what people are currently doing that is succeeding and how they do it. And that includes how to properly sort through, absorb, and use viewer input.
