The Hilarious Downfall of Watchmojo

追加: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Watch Mojo's downfall should be celebrated. Yo, Watch Mojo went A1, y'all, back then, right? Watch Mojo was like the best thing at the start of YouTube. Then it became boring. It was a Formula channel. It was pretty basic.

[00:00:12]Used to watch that when I was boarded.

[00:00:14]Yeah, I used to sit down, bro, and just binge them. I lowly watched one this year, which is kind of recent cuz before that, I don't remember watching one in a while. And I think it was literally something about the boys. Like I it coincidentally popped up. Bro, they just spam though. That's the problem. It became like a business, like an AI business where like they just spammed 20 videos at a time. Bro was always a slop channel was the first slop channel YouTube. But that's the thing, people didn't know at the time like it was a slop channel. That term didn't even exist. Like it just felt cool to see.

[00:00:38]But then you listen to the dialogue and it was a lady going like, "Welcome to Watch Mojo where we're talking about the top 10 lipsync fails. Number 10, Britney Spears lipsync. People love Britney Spears, but they fail to see how many times she's messed up in a concert. Then they play a random movie clip that they think is supposed to be funny. Britney Spears is a performer that started and then they just take a bunch of information off Google. Top 10 worst streamers number one Tommy and MG. I wouldn't be surprised if they make that after me reacting to this. Let's go on and see this.

[00:01:05]>> From millions of views every other video a decade ago to thousands in 2026.

[00:01:09]>> Yeah, there was nothing else to watch though. That's a thing. Top 20 ASMR movie scenes. Is this just gooner content hidden in a video format?

[00:01:18]>> Yo, that's dead's gooner content hidden in aing video topic. plagiarism to recycled content. From being the most subscribed channel in Canada in 2016 to being the sixth most subscribed channel.

[00:01:30]Wow, really got him there. Welcome to Watch Voyan. And today we're counting down the top 10 reasons Watch Mojo fell off. And the top 10 reasons that's a good thing.

[00:01:38]>> Who threw this at me, >> dude?

[00:01:44]>> Top 10 feet.

[00:01:45]>> Why would you throw something?

[00:01:46]>> Wait, do you think Moto has top 10 feet?

[00:01:48]>> No, that would have been funny. That would have beening hilarious.

[00:01:52]Number 10. Just kidding. I'm not writing this out. Sorry. Cut it back. Cut it back. As YouTube continued to grow as a platform in the 2010s, we began to witness the holy miracle of the content farm. They had existed long before this, but thanks to things like cable cutting and the partner program. I mean, just imagine having kids. You could pay Time Warner Cable $100 a month so your kids can watch Nickelodeon or hand them a tablet with all their favorite YouTubers on it for free. Kids playing with toys, fake pranks, Elsa and Spider-Man resetting their Wi-Fi key. Yeah. I wonder what the world would look like if YouTube didn't exist. Would cable TV still be a thing? I feel like eventually social media would have popped off.

[00:02:27]Something else would have done it. I don't know if it would still be a thing cuz YouTube managed to encapsulate like cable TV and stuff. Like you could lit YouTube TV is basically cable if you wanted like to watch like sports or like HBO Max. I literally just added it's just like a bunch of shows and I could watch. Vine would have took YouTube's place. HELL NO. WHAT? VINE WAS a failing model to begin with. It was literally sixsecond videos. Like that's why they failed. like they lost all the binders to like YouTube and stuff, long form content. And that's why Tik Tok started adding long form content cuz Tik Tok used to be like only a minute. I don't know if yall remember. I think they added 10-minute videos in like 2021 or 2022 cuz they wanted to like expand themselves. But Tik Tok used to only be a minute.

[00:03:03]>> They realized that's a feeling model and unfortunately vice versa. Thus, YouTube began to prove itself as a source of much in all senses cheaper entertainment. Cable television would continue to lose numbers, especially with youth. The future was internet. But there was just one problem. TV is media that has been filtered through businesses, writer rooms, commissioners, networks, multiple levels of oversight, all to create entertainment that can be as appealable to as large of a group as possible and at a consistent rate. Its entire goal is to attract and retain viewers by delivering content that is engaging or emotionally compelling. But YouTube IS >> YouTube is chaos. And that's the best part about it.

[00:03:42]>> YouTube's not even that anymore nowadays, bro. It's like a business to be honest. Before the website was an algorithm-driven industry, it was just a community that kind of existed on its own terms. Money and jobs could happen, but they were distant. There was no >> Yo, I remember this video. I thought this [ __ ] was so hilarious, bro.

[00:03:55]>> Grind. The word influencer was an illness with an accent. Uploading something meant you did it to do it.

[00:04:00]Probably because you liked doing it and for minimal outside reasons. The joy of YouTube in a pre-2010 world was that it all felt intrinsic. And I know it was because how the [ __ ] else would YouTube poops have come into existence?

[00:04:11]>> Time to really explode. The first brain rot >> specifically emphasized >> actually YouTube poops were like brain rot patient zero >> by its first three letters in the classic old slogan. It was a medium for whoever to make whatever and for their very own why ever. Hopefully by the end of this video you'll realize that that is the beauty of it. But for the sake of structure and keeping in the early 2010s understand that with so many cable TV refugees there was a large appetite for scripted produced studiomade standardized entertainment and YouTube would reward anyone who was going to make it. and saddle up partner cuz they [ __ ] made it. From this point to now, we saw the platform transform in all sorts of ways where the most popular videos in the first few years of YouTube were just everyday life, webcam rants, home sketch comedy videos were made by real people of varying opinions and degrees.

[00:04:57]>> Even nowadays, that's still similar.

[00:04:59]Like if you see even Twitch, for example, the rawness of like creators that make like Queso as an example.

[00:05:03]Queso is just some dude that plays games in his house. Jinx is just some dude that sits down on like a 10-year-old chair and has a personality. Like people like rawness other than like very professional [ __ ] most of the time at least. Remember machinima? Bro, machinima [ __ ] finessed all of the YouTubers back then. I don't know if y'all know, bro, but like before there was AdSense, Machinima was the only way YouTubers could get paid. And bro, they used to take 50% of people's earnings.

[00:05:28]Imagine that. They had PewDiePie. Yeah, I think you can play to YouTube themselves and they started to like make a new system cuz y'all when YouTube when the YouTube AdSense thing came out, only very specific companies could like get paid from that [ __ ] So Machinima was one of them and like a couple other like big channels. I think Smosh got their own thing. Smosh didn't work with Machinima and a couple other big people.

[00:05:46]But yeah, all of like the YouTubers basically just signed with Machinima cuz they were like it's better to get paid than not get anything off of this and then they got finessed.

[00:05:53]>> Not even counting YouTube also taking a cut. Yeah, that's they weren't interesting. They were at least cool insights into the raw ways of life other people experience. Today those same videos are no longer made. And if they are, you can find them buried under a homepage of trending recommended and search results of things you didn't search for. It all feels very corporatized with above average productions. 100 students debate their teacher talk show segments. Okay, what do y'all like better, YouTube back then or YouTube now? Like putting my nostalgia aside, I feel like I like YouTube system now better. To be honest, nostalgia is cool. Like, okay, you watch these people this and that. It may have felt a little bit more like a community, but like the algorithm nowadays like perfected, bro. Like if I go on YouTube, it'll recommend me like some [ __ ] where I'm actually like, "Okay, I actually would watch that old cuz it was more free." You know what? I could see you saying old if you talk about the ads.

[00:06:37]The ads are absolutely fried now, [ __ ] >> Real cop plays GTA. Real psychopath plays Doky Doi. I went on a tangent, didn't I? So, what happens when you combine the >> Is that a Fuzzy video?

[00:06:46]>> What the [ __ ] So, what happens when you combine the rapidly expanding YouTube audience hungry for manufactured content reminiscent of their expensive cablebased forefathers with the 2010 social media rise of the listicle?

[00:06:58]Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 deaths in movies.

[00:07:05]>> You get base. Duh. If this were a puff piece, I would say Watch Mojo was genius. [ __ ] it. I'll still say they're genius for commodifying and oversaturating something as basic as numeric opinion expression. Even though that's why I hate we'll get to that. But I mean, the internet at this point had created the perfect conditions for something like this to happen. Digital primordial super the company that crawls out of it. For the first six years after launching, Watch Mojo did pretty much nothing. They just sat there burning money or whatever they do in Montreal. I guess make potholes for fun. You could find videos about basically >> it was probably just some dude and like that girl doing it for fun. Like they didn't care. Now it's a massive >> anything on their YouTube channel.

[00:07:39]Recipes, fashion, gaming, travel. It's the very same company we know today dipping their fingers everywhere, but just with this aimless EI feel like something that would be on TV at an urgent care. They even had top 10s in this period, but they did not look like the Watch Mojo top 10s that would arrive shortly after. Number three is Zelda.

[00:07:57]Now, Zelda, do I have to say so much more? I mean, come on.

[00:08:05]>> Who doesn't remember women?

[00:08:09]>> By the end of 2011, early 2012, Watch Mojo had an idea. Wait, this is the girl that be speaking? Yo, why she lowkey fine?

[00:08:16]>> Welcome to Watch Mojo. Okay, [ __ ] >> 11 early. Maybe I do need to watch Mojo.

[00:08:20]Watch a little more Mojo. She not going to Bro, >> you don't know that.

[00:08:25]>> 12. Watch Mojo had an idea. Less effort.

[00:08:28]They didn't need >> She's older. You think that's going to stop me, [ __ ] >> Top 10s with a personality on camera in an EB Games where they try to get on G4.

[00:08:36]They just needed some non-original footage, a voice over, maybe a music track. Just choose any random topic ever. Okay, >> throw me some numbers.

[00:08:44]>> You'll always have to back it up, but people are far more interested in the number than the reason. at least with this setup. And if they tied it back to the community, it would be used to represent as many people as possible.

[00:08:53]Nobody could ever be mad. Except they still would be because it's the internet. Boom. Free engagement.

[00:08:58]Comments galore. More people end up on their website to try and turn the tide of opinion in their favor and get lists they want to see.

[00:09:03]>> Who was buying a wash mojo shirt?

[00:09:04]There's no way they were selling this.

[00:09:06]That's such a stupid shirt, man.

[00:09:08]>> People end up on their website to try and turn the tide of opinion in their favor and get lists they want to see made. Is lowkey brilliant. They aren't alone with their list antics on YouTube.

[00:09:16]>> Oh my god, Matthew. to uh Santoro, is that his name? They aren't even alone on the internet, but their user tie-in that kept them nestled in so many communities. They were fueled entirely by suggestions on their website only to then end up back in the suggestions on YouTube. Watch Mojo invaded the related Watch Mojo hits anything. They'll make a video on any topic, man, woman, religion, whatever it is. Like, it will probably hit your page in some type of way and then that's when they hook you and then they just recommend a bunch of random [ __ ] and you start watching it.

[00:09:45]Nope. What are they making now? They do the same [ __ ] They just spam vids and hope one of it hits, but like it's dead now. I think YouTube probably pushed them down the algorithm or people just got tired of the slop.

[00:09:54]>> Kind of like rabies, man. Like the minute you see a Watch Mojo video in your suggested videos, you think we got top 10 religions. We got top 10 religious mysteries that were finally solved. Top 10 influential religious figures. Top 10 dark facts you didn't know about major world religions. The most terrifying religious prophecies ever. 10 worst things rel Oh my god, look at all the spam. Holy [ __ ] Yo, like this is ridicul. Look how many things there are. Religion. Say hi to my grandma for me. You cannot ask a person how they found Watch Mojo because they didn't. Watch Mojo found them. Whether you were watching makeup tutorials or musical covers or tech unboxings, as long as you were on >> Yeah, I feel like I always got to recommend it randomly. I never searched up Watch Mojo and watch >> and YouTube Watch Mojo had an adjacent list for that. Actually, like 50. I mean, again, these aren't hard videos to make. They could easily upload six of them a day, so why wait for a small creator? Okay, this seems like a good time to maybe go anecdotal. Hi, my name is Voyan and I really like lists and I really like gaming and I really used to like Watch Mojo.

[00:10:50]>> Humility, shame, and truth. And [ __ ] you may have seen my videos, but have you seen my comments? Because I really hope you haven't if you've been on a Watch Mojo video between like these years, you might even scroll down and find some guy with the actual worst take. I mean, you've already found him, but ancient text format freaking Voyant hieroglyphs. I have been on the internet a long time, almost two-thirds of my life, and long before a grown age of reason. and this whole digital footprint.

[00:11:11]>> Everybody was definitely watching Watch Mojo back then. I don't think I was commenting on the videos though.

[00:11:16]>> thing can be kind of funny at times.

[00:11:17]Anyways, yeah, I used to watch a lot of Watch Mojo. In 2011, my dad decided that Netflix and YouTube could carry our family far enough and he canceled our cable. Thankfully, there was lots to watch on Netflix. I was a teenager then into shows like Breaking Bad or How I Met Your Mother. But as a gamer, I wanted to watch game stuff. Damn it. I grew up isolated in rural New York, so as a kid, played a lot of games that I couldn't always talk about with the people around me. The internet was awesome. I was spending way more time on YouTube becoming fans of channels like John Tron and Peanut Butter Gamer. Maybe you can tell from my editing or humor, but I was very specifically drawn to those channels for their top 10. Also, shout out Josh Scorcher. But they were only uploading between every couple of weeks and every couple of months.

[00:11:54]Discovering Watch Mojo, who was pumping out six videos a day with like one or two topics that I had stake in. Holy.

[00:12:00]They weren't super comedic, but they had >> no personality to the videos.

[00:12:04]>> Clean equipment and editing behind these videos. They could be held to a standard. Their format was easy to follow. Their videos were always like 10 or so minutes, so each entry got a solid minute. No yapping, no speeding. And because they presented themselves so straightforward and through so many categories, it was real easy group. Me and my roommates could all sit down with a meal and enjoy a Watch Mojo video and then argue with each other over whether or not we agreed with their rankings.

[00:12:25]Honestly, magnificent times. I really did like what they had going. But after like 2 or 3 years of watching this channel pretty often, I had a spiritual awakening and I realized Watch Mojo cared more about us than they did themselves. Absolutely freaking disgusting quality. So many times I would finish a list and think to myself, where is the drive here? Did Watch Mojo just say this to say it? Kind of like when you see Brand start trying to participate in memes and it's like, oh, you pathetic. I found top 10 mass shootings.

[00:13:00]Oh, but I don't think we should be surprised by that. Wow, there is a lot about shootings.

[00:13:05]The [ __ ] How can you rank shootings? Wait, actually, how do you rank? Are they ranking it or showing like I think they're probably ranking it off like death toll. I don't know, bro. Top five EPs. No.

[00:13:18]>> Prom date ass company. You don't care about the meme. They're just trying to turn a profit. A lot of people seem to recognize that Watch Mojo was immediately out of the gate. The first video I ever saw from them was top 10 Nintendo fails, and it was number 10.

[00:13:30]The 3DS got a big ass dislike bar.

[00:13:36]>> Nintendo fails. 3DS did great, >> which I think could just be because people actually like to stick up for Nintendo at the time, but maybe because Watch Mojo isn't really complaining about anything the community hasn't heard already for the entire decade prior. Really, it was just routine negativity, not presented in a way that's fun, exciting, or humorous. Nor are they hitting us with any hot takes or opinions. Maybe let's see what they can do on a positive, praise intended, happy video. Here we go. Top 10 horror themed video games. Number two, Mortal Kombat series.

[00:14:04]That's horror. All right. Top 10 modern video game musical themes.

[00:14:10]Woo! Y'all hate anything. All right. How about this? Couple years in the future.

[00:14:13]Top 10 anime series. People love anime.

[00:14:15]How can anyone be >> Oh, that's always going to go bad. Top 10 anime series that's soing diverse based on like what the person watches.

[00:14:22]>> That about anime.

[00:14:23]>> Number 10, Pokemon.

[00:14:25]>> I got to stop.

[00:14:26]>> Oh yeah, they put Pokémon attend >> the awesome Pokemon video game. Pokemon video game.

[00:14:40]>> Use your common sense.

[00:14:41]>> All right. Okay. All right. Uh, >> and today we're counting down our picks for the top five things to know about Lil Tay.

[00:14:48]>> Uh, watch Mojo. I don't know if I >> I can't look at Lil Tay the same. Y'all remember was it like last year, bro, when she was like, "Oh, I'm going to open up OF." Did she actually ever do that [ __ ] It was last year. That shit's weird. Didn't know anything about it.

[00:14:58]Still hasn't sat right with me.

[00:14:59]>> Counting down our picks for the top 10 NFTts of 2021.

[00:15:03]>> All right, hold on a minute.

[00:15:05]>> NFTTS, [ __ ] This was the real moment when they started running out of [ __ ] What are we trying to?

[00:15:08]>> And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 AI generated songs.

[00:15:13]>> And today we're looking at the cringiest uses of AI that left us saying, >> "What the fuck?"

[00:15:18]>> Seriously, this is the future.

[00:15:21]>> Welcome to Watch Mojo. And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 cartoons brought to live action by AI.

[00:15:27]>> They're out, bro. They're so done.

[00:15:29]>> Oh, okay. Now for the love of number one, Joker here.

[00:15:41]>> The rage bait. Use a thumbnail that contradicts the title.

[00:15:47]>> Guys, I kind of feel like they don't know what they're talking about here.

[00:15:51]And this is not what I am supposed to be covering. And this the thing is it's a business. Like they don't even care.

[00:15:55]They're not making these things out of passion. They're just spitting out [ __ ] The chance the person even knows like what they're talking about the topic that's writing is probably like a 5% chance they actually know what they're talking about video. But I'm a mandated bitcher. If they had chosen Persona 3 or four protagonist for this thumbnail as a company based out of North America, you could make the argument. But Persona 5 is the first game to drop the prefix on top of all the other reasons that Persona 5 is not Shin Magami Tensei. It is Magami Tensei. Ain't nothing shin about it though. Deleting this one word would help the case so much. But even if Watch Mojo knew that, and I suspect they did with someone like Todd Habercorn on narration, why sacrifice the clicks?

[00:16:30]That is legendary rage bait. My body started moving around. God damn. Most people can recognize Joker, so they'll click on the video out of familiarity.

[00:16:37]And the SMT Hard boys who have been subject to this comparison for years will also end up talking about it for a whole minute in their v. All right.

[00:16:44]Anyway, misinformation is likely at play here, but I think it's more a case of misrepresentation.

[00:16:49]And I know they have writers, editors, researchers, but >> Oh my god, they got a team team. You already know for a fact they fire people. 12. Holy [ __ ] A staff team of 12. They have writers, editors, researchers, but it's almost like a company.

[00:17:03]>> Think about it. They the first larer channel.

[00:17:09]>> I think you're right. with the goal of turning out as much content as possible with as little connection to the stuff they are speaking on has no business talking about Shinmagami Tensei LAR mojo. While it is tied that's crazy.

[00:17:23]We just read that chat.

[00:17:25]>> Back to community suggestions. We've heard some stories about faceless editors deciding to hijack the final count. This is surprising to literally no one. It is also probably why there's been so many memes over the years about Watch Mojo. They get ridiculed endlessly. But here's the thing about this company. They are a company. This could have played out differently if it were a solo creator, but we got a whole ass.com in the channel. So, duh. If it's not obvious by now, they aren't going to feel shame and leave the internet or apologize because people are blasting them for having ass opinions or being wrong. They're just going to laugh at themselves with everyone else and then hopefully, if they are lucky, continue to have more ass opinions that keep them being talked about. Top 10 times watch.

[00:18:04]Yeah, I think if they were smart, first off, they should have not hired that many people. That duo should have just like hired a small team, continue doing [ __ ] took the money, and retired. I'm just going to assume the people that created it probably had enough to retire. They probably got like whatever the your own house, this and that or whatever. But like, dog, you got to change [ __ ] up. The internet changes with time. You got to keep up with the with the times. Mojo got it wrong in 2021, 2022. Top 10 watch mojo lists that have aged the top 10. Wait, what? Top 10 watch mojo enemy list that haven't aged.

[00:18:31]They're making top 10 on themselves, bro. This is how you know you're out of [ __ ] >> Porus, the best of the worst of Watch Mojo. Long video, by the way. It is a machine so unwilling to quit that it will cannibalize itself and regenerate stronger. This type of social media strategy is called I think it's called flooding the market, but I call it brute forcing the algorithm where you just create so much it has a higher chance of ending up in front of people regardless of quality. I'm not going to say old YouTube was lined with pristine works of art. The everyday masterpiece that is gallon smashing, but Watch Mojo is cheap.

[00:19:03]>> Yeah, with less than 5 to 10k views per videos. As of lately, they ain't paying all of them. I think they fired people in truth. Especially in this AI era, >> cuz there's AI full on AI channels on YouTube. They probably just fired people and just hired AI to like get the scripts out. That would help them very easily. Just like every big company, dog, look at the comments of this Watch Mojo vid. Top 20 strongest Genchin Impact characters. It's giving AI did our homework. Do not let watch Mojo cook. I guarantee that's a majority of comments for [ __ ] Top 10 strongest anime characters. They're definitely going to get cooked. Maybe not, actually. Oh god, these comments are so old. Meanwhile, light Yagami writes all of their names on Death Note and laughs manically.

[00:19:46]Oh man, that's rough comment section.

[00:19:48]Rough comment section.

[00:19:49]>> Conveyor belt Entertainment literally just designed for the passing of time.

[00:19:52]At least I can say I took lessons home from gallon smashing. Cuz what is uploading six times a day even worth?

[00:19:58]Are we just looking at a snapshot of a spinning wheel from a different angle every single time? Going back to the Nintendo fails video from a moment ago.

[00:20:04]If this video was made just a year later, there would be no 3DS. There would be maybe the Wii. Kind of early. 5 years later and you'd have the amiibo shortage, the insane YouTube policing.

[00:20:14]10 years later and you'd have Joy-Con Drift. Also, why am I [ __ ] entertaining the if? It's Watch Mojo. Of course, they made that video twice. When it comes to Watch Mojo, nothing is ever set in stone. To be fair, nothing really is ever set in stone, but it's sort of this unspoken top 10 rule that you kind of got to act like it is. I waited to make my top 50 3DS games video until both the console was definitely dead, and I had played most of what I wanted to. I could play more 3DS games in the future and revise the list. Sure, I got to get through Radiant Histori at some point, but unless something really moves me, I don't super want to do that when making my I don't think I've ever done like a list video for real. like a full-on list.

[00:20:50]>> This part in every Zelda game video, I had to replay like 11 of those [ __ ] for footage or to be totally certain on my selections. That was a lot of work.

[00:20:58]It took me like half the summer, but I was thorough cuz I don't want to [ __ ] do that.

[00:21:02]>> Tier list. I feel like tier list is different from the list. Tier list is like a completely separate category cuz like you're ranking from like A to F.

[00:21:09]This is like top 10 to top like one of those. I'm talking about >> that again. Does Echoes of Wisdom exist now? Yeah. Yeah, and I could update like a subcateg.

[00:21:18]>> Honestly, the final boss in that game was pretty rough, but I did my best then so I wouldn't have to. There's so many videos I want to make. I don't want to do that again. So, I did my best to be as definitive as possible. I believe I owe that to you, beloved viewer, who is spending the currency that is your attention span on me. Watch Mojo, on the other hand, praise on the recycle. They are thrilled about the lack of permanence. They love making the same video twice, three times, four times.

[00:21:42]Here's a funny >> They're just changing the wording of it.

[00:21:44]Top 10 comedic anime twice.

[00:21:46]>> Top 10 anime for comedy fans. Top 20 comedy anime you need to watch >> times. Here's a fun example. Audience watch Mojo did the best games of the year 2014 through 2017. And these lists are innocent enough. But in 2018 they had the best games of the year so far which came out in August. And then of course 4 months later they had the best games of 2018 period where many from the August list got booted because a certain thing called the holiday window exists.

[00:22:12]It completely renders the August list kind of useless unless you want to know the best games from 2018 in a pre-match Ultimate Red Dead 2 entanglement, but it's hard now to want to watch their list knowing they could just grind it up to dust at any point in the future with a new one. They did the same thing in 2019. They did the same thing in 2020.

[00:22:28]They said so far.

[00:22:29]>> They've gradually moved the frame back so that it's a bit more even from 2022 through 2024. They put the so far list out in June, at least for the top 10 games of the year. And June is 6 months into the year. So, it's perfectly in half. You know, they could just call it the top 10 games of the first half of 2020X and then do the second half in December, but they don't because they want you to watch their twice. And that's just for the yearly lists. The so far videos are at least honest in implying that there will be >> But these droids are still kind of getting views, y'all. 414K views, 621. 4 Well, that's 5 years ago. These are still getting views. More to come. Are you guys ready for the psychosis demo?

[00:23:09]Top 10 actors most difficult to work with. Another top 10 actors most difficult to work with. Top 20 most difficult. Top 30 most difficult actors. Top 10.

[00:23:18]>> Unless if they somehow like have a hundred actors then like this makes sense.

[00:23:22]>> Diffult 100 actors I could pick from.

[00:23:24]>> Top 10 most. They're >> definitely repeating people. Top 20 actors who were most difficult. Actors that have an infamous reputation for complaining or just generally being difficult to work with or just generally being difficult to work with. Thank god I'm not one of those self-proclaimed good YouTubers who would like actually sit through all of that stuff and just I can just talk about it, right? Like I don't have to watch this. I can just talk about it. I can just talk.

[00:23:49]So the first list is a top 10 regular and then they found more and hit us with another top 10. Nothing wrong with that.

[00:23:54]The top 20 is like a combined list just those first two videos mashed together with a few dialogue changes, you know, enhanced port HD plus deluxe type [ __ ] The top 30 is the same as the top 20, but they've added 10 more entries at the beginning. And you'll never believe what the top 50 is. Also, there's a quickie, a pre-short form era under two-minute list with zero voice lines. It's just kind of the ranking itself. Mind you though, I'm not really on TikTok or other short >> novice form content places. And I'm told they are going just as nuts over there.

[00:24:21]So, this >> Oh my god.

[00:24:22]>> entire video is without me getting into that because my sanity is running like GTA 6 on a 10:30. Here's the top 20 worst live performances of all time in October of 2024. Less than a year later, the top 30 in September of 2025. And in February of 2026, the top 50. This is in the duration of 16 months. In January of 2026, they also did the top 30 best and worst of all time. And you know what?

[00:24:46]Credit to them. She at least re-recorded the whole thing even though the script is the same.

[00:24:50]>> It quickly became known as one of the worst covers of the anthem. Whether >> bar even claiming her infamous performance was better in comparison.

[00:24:58]But the real kicker is that the newest entry on any of these lists, man, they got to be tired of doing this [ __ ] bro.

[00:25:04]I'd be so depressed coming to the mic.

[00:25:05]I'd be like, "Ah, [ __ ] man." Like, at least every video I record is like different, especially for the main show.

[00:25:10]It's like not exactly the same script like they do. Happen in 2023, one year before theing first time they started this entire line of discussion. They could have started with the top 50 if they really did their research then, but they didn't want to. They wanted to sell you the same video four times. What is the [ __ ] point? Quantity over quality is in fact the point. And if it's not upsetting enough how little they care about what they're talking about, it should at least be upsetting that they can't even do it all in one concise video so as to not waste your time. I'm sure down the line they'll have a top 100 worst perform.

[00:25:42]>> My god, top 100 is crazy since they've done those. Put that Hey, put that uh one scene from Spongebob with King Neptune making the thousand patties and he's like taking care of the world.

[00:25:53]That's a good scene because King Neptune can create effortlessly and endlessly without any regard for the fry cook prowess, but Spongebob uses a special ingredient love to create only one patty that is far more. Am I really explaining Spongebob right now? One of the first John Trron videos I ever saw was the top 10 video game commercials. This is what happens when an opinion reaches maturity and becomes a creation. You made this whole video funny like he always is.

[00:26:17]Talking about the weird conceptual PS3 commercials or how hard the '9s Super Nintendo commercials had to try to make 16 bits look like it was going to get you laid. Weird ads. Every time it appears before me in my canon life, I will still say [ __ ] Sponge.

[00:26:34]>> It's hilarious and informative as all John Trron videos are. or I don't know.

[00:26:38]I kind of stopped keeping up as much with him after he stopped talking about video games, which is kind of ironic because this is the first video I've made not solely related to video games.

[00:26:45]Anyway, the video continues in humor all the way through, but when he hits number one, the tone completely shifts because his number one choice is the Halo 3 believe ad, an emotional pick that should disrupt the flow of the video, but you can tell Jon loves it so much that making jokes or playing silly music would glazing >> undermine its value. And that's not what you do to your favorite video game commercial. So, he says a couple words and leaves us with it and the video ends. There's passion and meaning behind this, and you only need to see the editing to realize that this is rooted in someone's personal perspective, someone's humanity. No one else would ever risk the chance to completely destroy everything the video built up towards, altering the mood and distancing the viewer. But the only reason it's memorable to me and many others is because it did, impacting us in a similar way that said commercial impacted Jon. Okay, watch Mojo. Now, let's see those top 10 mass shootings in the United States.

[00:27:37]>> And today, we'll be >> good. We did search that >> counting down 10 of the most infamous mass shootings in United States history.

[00:27:44]>> Yeah, you could probably make this list.

[00:27:45]And I say that because several hundred people have in the time since. There's also been unfortunately many more shootings. The problem with Watch Mojo squeaky clean cookie cutter format is that you can't do this type of video justice without heavily altering a lot of the format to be, I guess, a bit more respectful, sensitive, slow, but not even the titling would allow that. I mean, just the word, >> you know, they get happy, bro, when there's a new shooting. They're like, "Bet, time for a new list."

[00:28:08]>> Get them friars revving. Rev them friars up. A new shooting just happened. Top insinuates that there is a favorable choice, much like all of the other content on your channel, unless this is going statistically, which there's no indication of that. It doesn't appear to be based on subtext. And yes, I am being very careful because of YouTube. Maybe that's why they changed the title a couple years back. But by all means, in most cases, you are allowed to have a favorite. To have a top 10 is to have a number one and to have a number one. For many of us, that's why we're here in the first place. It's funny to me that the very same reason I was drawn to Watch Mojo was the very same reason I started to prefer other creators because it's the same for so many of their lists doing these plot twist deflates or >> Watch Mojo is lowkey like background content. I feel like if I turned it on, I wasn't actually watching it to watch it. Like I was either just reallying bored or it was background content when I was doing something else.

[00:28:56]>> And it often results in many people slamming that.

[00:28:58]>> That's not a good compliment. in the com >> is background content. See, the thing is if you want to say that about the second channel cuz like the reacts, you could say, "Yeah, you're you're watching the vids while I don't know. You might be like working or cleaning." But like my main channel, bro, is definitely not background. Like if you're sitting down watching my main channel vids, I think it's background content. Like I don't know how you would cuz like there's gifts and you have to pay attention to it. Like the videos are short. But yeah, I feel like a lot of reacts, I mean, a lot of people that do reacts that you can kind of just either put in the background while doing some homework or work or this and that. Like I don't give a [ __ ] either way. I don't care, bro.

[00:29:26][ __ ] is watching. I'm happy. the VOD channel's background content. Yeah, that's fair to say, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing saying that. That's not saying a majority of people that watch are just like not actually watching it. But like [ __ ] [ __ ] is watching either way, you know?

[00:29:37]I'm happy. Main channel is definitely background content. There's nothing wrong with it, bro. If you're watching my main channel, if it's background content, then like I feel like you can't consume it, right? Cuz like reacts, they can be long, like 30, 40 minutes. You can put in the background. You can play multiple of them while doing something.

[00:29:51]You may look at the screen here and there. But with the main channel, bro, you're missing info and [ __ ] I'm talking about like yo my main channel has like a good watch time like over 70%. Which is like reallying good for our channel and like the second channel probably it has less of a watch time just cuz like it's reacts you know I remember >> main channel the type that I play when I eat and see that's that's what I mean.

[00:30:09]Yeah that's fair that makes sense.

[00:30:10]>> The top 10 scariest songs >> I sleep to your past dreams. I'm not mad at it in video games. It ends with Super Paper Mario. Now, I don't disagree that this song is scary, but okay, maybe it didn't deserve a >> scary song. Come on.

[00:30:22]>> Number one. But if it did, there are better ways to reveal this as the number one song than with every other entry on the list of talking breaks of gameplay footage with audio and more talking. You could say that this is a scarier song because it plays in a franchise where you'd least expect it. One could visually represent this by playing a montage of games with this audio over it before finally settling on Super Paper Mario, the game it's actually from.

[00:30:42]Creatively, you have so many tools other than just numbers to frame your point of view. But oh, that's right. It's not your point of view. It's other people's.

[00:30:50]You're just the company here to make money off of it by throwing it back to them. Recycling and plagiarizing the passion of other people's experiences.

[00:30:57]My top 10 favorite games of all time.

[00:31:02]So, couple might surprise you, but here we go. Okay. Game number 10 would be Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal.

[00:31:11]>> If I ratchet and Clank at 10 is diabolical. had seen this video in my watch mojo phase. I would have thought it >> top 10 games, Tommy. I don't know. I don't even know why I even said this diabolical. Yeah, I genuinely don't know what I'd rank >> to be under stimulating, boring. Even for 2009, there's videos that have had much more work put into them than a guy talking to a camera in his attic. But after watching all of what I just watched above, I'm in a weird spot.

[00:31:31]There is this strange, even intimate charm to just hearing and more importantly, watching someone talk about their favorite games where you never know what Cirrus Scott is going to pull out next. And yet, I'm so intrigued to learn. He never shows any footage. Never are there any JPEGs on the screen or music to back any of it. None of this is covered by a script, I'm pretty sure.

[00:31:49]But in place of that, you have just an attic sesh with what seems to be a really chill dude discussing games.

[00:31:55]>> Warhawk, if you ever heard of this game, I'll kill you.

[00:31:57]>> It's just so refreshing to hear the honest of someone, but straight from that someone, not with the intention of clicks or views or being one of a gazillion uploads in a day, just a person happy to talk about the things that made them happy.

[00:32:08]>> And this is when YouTube is like really a community, just people just doing [ __ ] Well, watch Mojo only.

[00:32:13]>> They made these thinking like, "Oh man, one day I could become like big on YouTube."

[00:32:16]>> Saturate the market of time, but take away from the humanity.

[00:32:20]Countdown numbers were only half the appeal. But the reason why things are in the order they are is different from human to human. I got tired of the automation. I got tired of people who cared more about the video than the games they were discussing. Tired of people reciting opinions completely out of their possession. I like when people have actually played or watched or read or listened to whatever they are talking about. Not that you technically need to, but if you haven't, then why bother at all? If a person really loves or hates something, if it's moved them in any significant way, I promise you they will make that clear in their representation of it. Those feelings are worth way more than any pile of money.

[00:32:55]>> All right, bet. I got to make my own top 10, y'all. What should my top 10 be?

[00:32:57]>> And I'm choosing that video always.

[00:33:00]Watch mojo lists and everything being discussed in them are entirely for the purpose of entertainment in generating clicks. [ __ ] that. I want to know what you think and how you feel because that is where the magic happens.

[00:33:11]Individuality, life experiences, opinions, and the ability to communicate that others is what it means to be human. And in this digital ecosystem, trust me, we are going to need to hold on to that humanity. And as a wise man once said, I think, therefore, I am a twink. See what I'm saying? This whole human free will goes a long way sometimes. Watch Mojo was is the same way. When people say they felt like AI slop before AI slop, it's probably because they're stuck in that same uncanny.

[00:33:38]>> He really was though.

[00:33:40]>> Trying so hard to connect with us to capture our attention span, but all under the false motive of screen time.

[00:33:44]They don't care about the top 10 JRPGs.

[00:33:46]I'd bet both my testicles this guy has never even heard of Chrono Trigger, but saying it's the best will continue that sweet Rev stream. They don't care about the scariest anime. Or maybe they really do since they've made that video 10 [ __ ] times. I am not kidding. Today the traffic on Watch Mojo is pretty minimal. They're still uploading like seven times a day. They've spawned several offshoot channels and also short form content. They've got a podcast.

[00:34:07]They've got Mojo. LOOK AT THIS AI SLOP, [ __ ] BRO, you know, as soon as AI came out, they were going to start going crazy. Top 20 largest reptiles on Earth.

[00:34:17]Not even 5K views.

[00:34:19]>> Got some AI thumbnails. They even dip into politics. That doesn't surprise me.

[00:34:23]The entire channel is built on bait. Yet views are a shell of what they once were. It seemed people, >> man, just pack it up and retire, y'all.

[00:34:30]The dude's probably like 40ish. Maybe the lady speaking's like 38ish. I don't know, bro. Take your money, bro. Retire and chill, bro. Make a completely new channel, bro. If they want to like go their own ways, make your owning channel and and do whatever, man.

[00:34:43]>> Finally realized that they were being pedled with zero credibility and left it all behind. But I believe that's what makes this ending more bittersweet than happy because now we've crossed the event horizon of industrializing content. This ties into a deeper cynical problem that I have with today's internet where nothing feels like it can be taken at face value any >> see these type of channels like look at this [ __ ] >> deeper cynical problem that I have >> I don't watch this [ __ ] >> have with today's internet where nothing >> and look at the likes though 300,000 600,000 like alling bots >> thing feels like it can be taken at face value anymore YouTube content getting recycled or plagiarized posts on Facebook or Twitter getting recycled or plagiarized or as undisclosed AI so many things exist on the internet that people do not care about the int intention or ethical sourcing of it. They just want something to look at. Watch Mojo knows that. I mean, even I've been plagiarized twice in my YouTube career. One of which resulted in a takedown. What I've realized I got plagiarized like a couple times. My timeline got [ __ ] plagiarized literally by this dude, bro.

[00:35:40]It was a crazy [ __ ] He took my thumbnail style and everything, bro.

[00:35:43]Bro, I even say like I was an inspiration by who, bro. I got to find it. And he made the timeline before me at the time. It was either 2024 or was it last year? It was one of the years, bro. But I remember seeing that [ __ ] No, not the What the [ __ ] Not the generosity [ __ ] No, I forgot his name.

[00:35:58]I got to find it.

[00:35:58]>> Is that the best security against plagiarism is to make something so signaturely yours, it cannot be traced anywhere else. And that's what we should be doing on YouTube. Opinions are expressions. They are reflections. They are who we are. So wield that because it's your identity. Make it more you.

[00:36:14]Broadcast yourself.

[00:36:24]Weirdest format update announcement ever. I've never really been one for wanting to show my face in my videos because I always thought it was just easier to show you what I'm talking about.

[00:36:34]>> Don't care, bro. Show the top 10.

[00:36:37]>> I'm just want to explain >> about versus show you me talking about it. Humor and focus and how all of it conveys is just a little bit different.

[00:36:47]Um, and even me too because I keep looking over there to make sure I'm getting the perfect shot on the laptop.

[00:36:52]So, I can't promise I'll continue doing this in the future to make my videos more me and especially this one. Uh, can't plagiarize this and and change it into a different language and then block me on Twitter. I'll end the video by saying that I'm actually thankful to Watch Mojo. In a strange way, they're responsible for all of this because seeing those same lifeless portrayal of topics, >> Tommy, I know you own a slot channel and use AI to get that bag, but it's okay.

[00:37:21]So, a modern day content creator owns a side hustle channel. [ __ ] if I wanted a side hustle, you think I'm doing an AI channel, buddy? I'm doing a kids channel. Don't be surprised, bro. [ __ ] if [ __ ] starts drying up, you just see Tommy doing Tommy Shark.

[00:37:36]Tommy Shark, bro. Those kids channels make [ __ ] millions every month. I am making a kids channel retiring in like [ __ ] 3 years, bro. Maybe a kids slap channel. Now, I'd be creative.

[00:37:47]Tommy's toy reviews. And I have like a whole new personality. that meant so much to me. Pushed me to find Do I think Ryan's toy reviews is gonna like make his own channel? Like when he grows up, do y'all think he's going to do like an adult version of his [ __ ] And like I don't know. I feel like it'd be interesting low key. I kind of want to know like the Ryan's tour reviews like when he's older like does in his life.

[00:38:04]Ryan adult toy reviews.

[00:38:10]I did not say that, bro. I did noting say that. Yo, stop. Stop.

[00:38:16]>> Come here and claim them for myself. I made my account in December of 2011, which is the same month they uploaded that top 10 Nintendo fails video. And I have kept my Persona 4, I'm sorry, my Shinmagami Tensei profile picture ever since as a badge to show you that before I am any kind of >> I think Ryan will make toys, bro. Ryan creator, I am a [ __ ] fan of Persona 4. I love it to the end of my online.

[00:38:45]Should I play Persona an identity?

[00:38:49]But I'm probably going to change it soon. Uh, Persona 4, Amen Sigiri, that's copyrighted material and uh, of which I've had many runins recently. So, uh, yeah, look forward to that change soon because 100K has put a lot more eyes on me. Although, I don't know why you would believe me now. I don't really have much more to say. It's 8:40. All right, man.

[00:39:12]Wid check the comments, bro. Wait, the day no one talks. You was the day you are irrelevant, so thank you. Okay, never heard of your channel. And I admit I didn't see video, but a few points. In 2006, when we started, we were obviously a bit ahead of the curve. In 2012, when every channel was some vlogger sitting on the couch, we mastered our signature style and many cried as it looked like more like VH1, MTV, ESPN, and not what vocal minority viewed as YouTube content. Channel media is staying relevant, keeping your audience guessing, etc. Companies like Buzzfeed, Vice Fox, and channels that inspired by us, by their own admission, all came and went. We managed both to keep our OG fans happy and innovate. If by downfall you mean by being a survivor, having 100 plus Wait, what is it? FTE is that employees who earn their living with us, then I will take it. Also, this may be inside baseball, but you were aware that Avid is YouTube 1.0 and the platform has evolved, right? I could break it down for you, but why bother him? Viewers are spending nearly an hour per watch and watching our content. We are on the ways in the ways that matter more pertinent than ever. Yeah, bro. That's cuz it's [ __ ] bots watching your [ __ ] and goddamn eraser chewers or probably kids.

[00:40:18]As per sound mojo again, think of 2012 when the vocal minority whine and we got the last laugh. Haters, envious, jealous people are fueled to our This is like written like a like like a stereotypical Disney villain. These [ __ ] literally SAID, "THE DAY NO ONE talks to you is the day you are irrelevant. So, thank you. Never heard your channel and I admire I didn't see the video but a few points." Like, is that not giving vibes?

[00:40:41]Like, hm. Like, villain with a [ __ ] wine glass with my cat. Never heard of the pertinance of your channel. But let me make MY POINT. LIKE, SHUT that [ __ ] up, [ __ ] Nobody cares about y'all, bro. You fell off. Your channel's AI slop. Y'all might still be making money, bro. But like, you haven't evolved.

[00:40:56]Check the replies. Let's see if they got ratio. THIS IS LIKE THE Ouija board speaking back. Yeah, they got ratioed by the firsting comment. And they're even speaking back in the top 10/ bullet point format. Lol. Guess when you have done nothing for the make list your whole career. You eventually even start talking on my Wait, I didn't even realize this whole [ __ ] is a list. Yo, top five moments wa watch Mojo crashed out.

[00:41:20]Holy [ __ ] man. Yeah, they got cooked.

[00:41:23]The funny thing about this is they made it worse by commenting this. They probably pushing the algorithm by this dude. Watch them reply to this vid. Yo, I hope they do. You made multiple videos raking people being murdered. You would suspect that the people that made this [ __ ] to just move on. Like they've get been getting hate for like a while. I guess cuz this dude's video went crazy in like the algorithm and like they decided to respond. That is hilarious.

[00:41:43]Yo, watch Mojo. If you want to say some [ __ ] in the comments, >> try me. I wish you would, [ __ ] Say something. Uh, anyways, yeah, if you're watching it too, make sure to join on the Discord and watch the streams.
