Sorry, but I Gotta Give Up on Doomcock

You held out longer than I did…
If I want constant rumor and unnamed sources I can turn on CNN, MSNBC and pretty much any mainstream news source. But at least they are right 1% of the time.

I stopped watching his vids months ago.  He’s become Mike Zeroh with a bigger cringe factor.

I was already watching him less. Then the Ryan incident happened, and I just don’t have much interest anymore in DC. Video’s like this one just prove it. I am sick of people spreading rumor as fact and people believing it, because somewhere a long the way the “rumor” aspect changes into fact. It happens all the time.

I agreed with Ryan’s take on things, just not how he said it of course. DC either didn’t know EXACTLY what was going on, or decided to “react” and twisted what happened spreading false information while making untrue accusations on his Twitter account about it. The entire thing got blown up WAY more than it needed to be and trying to force Jeremy and Gary to do something was also just ridiculous imo. Ryan did not insult the entire fan base, nor did he attack DC, but that’s what you would be led to believe happened if you read DC’s Twitter. I found the entire situation ridiculous. Seeing DC’s reaction just put me off, and seeing his “fan base” act like wounded butthurt children put me off even more. I found the entire thing frankly pathetic. Had people actually paid attention to what Ryan said, and listened to the live stream where Ryan clarified things, none of it would have happened. But, as usual, people don’t actually get the facts of things on Twitter, they just react and turn it into drama.

I enjoy Harvey, but DC seems fit to use him very rarely. If he used Harvey more I might be interested to watch, but DC has turned into a tabloid with sci-fi effects.

I am not “loyal” to any fanbase or youtuber. I simply like people and their content. That’s all. I like Az, Gary, Jeremy, and others. I don’t get butthurt over an opinion from one of them and I certainly don’t attack anyone from any “side” over it. I don’t “demand justice” over an opinion. My life goes on either way. I don’t need to get on twitter and throw a tantrum or pity party. The entire thing just showed once again why Twitter is a cess pool I have no interest in using.

I still watch Doomcock, but I don’t find myself leaping to watch his videos the moment they show up in my feed like I used to. Perhaps because in the absence of new output from the studios for him to react to all he can do is speculate about rumours.

Although generally a fan of his work I did find his review of the first episode of Picard to be very sloppy, making assumptions about things not said that suggested he was just going out of his way to dismiss the show. I watched the episode after seeing his review and so went in with a very negative opinion so was pleasantly surprised to find it enjoyable despite its flaws while the supposed massive faults Doomcock claimed did not exist (for those wondering he claimed that the Romulans left it entirely to the Federation to evacuate Romulus while also claiming that the planet’s population was far too low to be believable – it was obvious to me that the Federation were just helping to make up for the shortfall in what the Romulans could manage, he said Romulan agents could suddenly spit acid – this looked like nothing more than a more advanced version of the cyanide capsule in a tooth used in some spy fiction to me and also said that the Romulans would have beamed the girl they were hunting to their ship instead of going to her home – despite them obviously being concerned that she could turn into a super-powered killing machine that no-one in their right mind would want to be stuck on a starship with).

Although still a viewer I take everything he says with a very big pinch of salt.
