All the bigger ones got too into flashy productions and now their videos take 9-18 months to produce, plus they got famous enough they can have other hustles doing acting gigs and whatnot.

The ones left do really dry video essays that don't involve pour milk on themselves in a bathtub or 16 costume changes.

left-liberal breadtube pioneers switching to just talking about art and culture is probably for the best ngl, they know more about it and can engage in more self-obsessed theatrics without having to dress it up as anything more than that

Some of them even have something actually interesting to say on the subject

Okay for some reason I misread this as Hasan. Now I feel silly.

hey don't knock the milk pouring.

The theater kid antics were cute for a bit but got old fucking fast. It really only worked when they were mainly dunking on weird internet Nazis.
