What happened to his content?
I don’t check Reddit often, but it’s the only forum where you can actually have a conversation about his videos. Comments just get lost, and there’s no chance for real discussion. I’m looking for constructive conversation, not teenagers crying, "if you don’t like it, don’t watch it."
So, what happened to his content? Jeff was the only member of the Vlog Squad who truly stood out, and it was obvious that he would do just fine without the group. His videos used to be super creative - Halloween episodes of Barbershop, Iron Man, The Beefy Boys, you literally couldn’t find that kind of content anywhere else. And now? It’s a disaster.
I feel like his friendship with Tana was the worst thing that could’ve happened to his channel. At first, their fake relationship bit was kind of funny, but now? It’s so boring and embarrassing. This guy is 35, and almost every episode of his podcast is either with Tana or about Tana. Her constant, "You're in love with me," "You're obsessed with me," has become so repetitive that if I see her in the thumbnail, I don’t even bother clicking because I already know it’s going to be the same crap.
Jeff used to be my favorite YouTuber, but now it feels like he wouldn’t survive without Tana. If that weren’t the case, why would he latch onto her like a gold digger to a millionaire? He used to talk about wanting his podcast to grow, constantly mentioning Joe Rogan and Theo Von, and I really thought he had a chance to be in that league. Now? No way. A podcast that’s had the same guests and the same tired fake-relationship bit for over a year is never going to be top-tier. Not even close.
What are your thoughts? Maybe I’m just not his target demographic anymore (even though I’m in my twenties).
