Are many of these hate filled YouTubers or on social media actually reading the High Republic book and comics, or are they just trashing them because of “reasons”? Are they still trashing on it, or has the rage and quest for “I will super hate this for clicks” dwindles?
Are there any good balanced YouTubers out there that are doing reviews for the High Republic books and comics? I quite like Star Wars Explained, but he can be focused on the more positive aspects of things, rather than providing a balance, or talking more in detail about the more negative aspects.
If there is money to be made then there’ll still likely be “clicks-for-hate”. The YouTube profit algorithm will see to that.
Are there still plenty of those type of toxic channels around? I was always hoping they’d die out, were a fad, or people would see through the repeated hate of it all. Thankfully I’ve managed to keep my YouTube page clear from those sort of channels.
I do think some of the more agenda filled channels do say anything, even things they don’t actually believe in themselves, just for those clicks, money and appeasing their own fan bases.
I think some of the Sequel hater channels started out being mixed or okay with them, until they saw the dollar signs in hating on it? That infamous Kathleen Kennedy hating channel started out with a video on how he liked TLJ, until his fans told him otherwise.
But I hope that has changed or subsided a little. Especially for this High Republic era. It does make you wonder just how many of these easily offended and angry YouTubers have actually read The High Republic.
I’d wager only a handful likely have actually read them. I’d imagine a number of them copying and pasting from more indepth articles, with quotes and buzzwords.
If anyone does know of some balanced YouTube channels that cover The High Republic please post them in here. I’d like to take a look at them, or that also cover any other Legends/EU/canon print material.
