Almost everyone that is on the popular front page feed. I loath the emotional content, drama, click bait type nonsense.

Yeah, it's amazing how quickly you figure out you're not logged into your account when you load the homepage. Literally none of the videos that are popular is anything I'd ever consider watching.

All I see in the "you're not logged in" frontpage is music videos anyways, and not conventional youtubers. I dunno how someone finds Mr. beast "organically".
