    I used to like their videos but they’re just so toxic and full of bile nowadays I can’t do it. I tried to watch a few around when tears of the kingdom came out because I wanted to see the follow up to their 7/10 for botw and from an outsiders perspective looking at the channel it almost looks like they’ve been bleeding subscribers because of the transition. A couple videos in I decided that wasn’t the case, or at least not the whole case, the content is just awful now. So I unsubbed which sucks because the videos used to be pretty good.

      The channel started dying probably 1-2 years before he went under any transition; it could be due to taking hormones, who knows.

      Either way, it was just turning into the same circlejerk in every video.

      He used to have good stuff, which is a shame that he no longer does.

          While gender affirming hormone therapy usually results in an improvement in mood, some people may experience mood swings or a worsening of anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions as a result of the shifts associated with starting a second puberty. If you have any mental health conditions it is recommended you remain in discussion with a mental health providers as you begin hormone therapy.

          HRT can mess up with your mental state, which thus affects production value.
