  I love how quickly the civilization simulations stopped being actual experiments and just became glorified team deathmatches

  I&apos;ve been extremely burnt out this year when it comes to making content. I always wanted to be a YouTuber having fun like the Yogscast or Stampy but to be a proper YouTuber now, you need to be a CEO who hires loads of people to automate production and doesn&apos;t actually make the content themselves. I don&apos;t want to make clickbait kids videos that feel like they&apos;re made by a content farm, but the young audience don&apos;t care.<br>Of course whenever something new does well there will be many copycats who just want money, however I hope that the people who are genuinely passionate about making good honest content will rise to the top as they will be able to innovate and stay ahead of their clones.

  This isn&apos;t just a problem with the content creators; it is a problem with servers too. People will join a server and then complain if there is anything different about it, pushing server owners into installing the same plugins and having similar formats.

  I recently really got into Mr Beardstone&apos;s Create series because it&apos;s a traditional let&apos;s play, with a modpack to spice things up. And he actually shows his mistakes, his thought processes, how he plans projects and is in general just pleasant to listen tonand watch. Like i said, his videos are mostly traditional but nowadays it actually feels fresh because it&apos;s honest gameplay

  Its crazy how narrow the popular content is for how broad minecraft is. Where are the story driven lets plays? Where are friends just playing around with games they made? (thats why you should continue the Evolution series, very entertaining.

  Recommendation; The Librarian&apos;s From The Fog series. It&apos;s basically survival with a twist, but he starts off having not played the game in a long time and discovering things from updates he missed, as well as inventing his own narrative as he goes. It&apos;s refreshing and really feels like a good old let&apos;s play from 2011 despite being in Modern minecraft.

  I totally agree with a lot of this, However I will say those old style fun Minecraft videos do still exist out there. Unfortunately its never pushed by youtube and is fairly hard to find.

  This is why i love ForgeLabs&apos; content. He sticks to the boring 100 days in hardcore formula, except he truns them all into two hour documentaries where each and every important event, such as him dying, saying &quot;nope you never saw that yup&quot; and then loading into a backup of the world, aswell as an instance where he disintegrated 8 diamonds cause of the fact the footage was corrupted. He uses the 100 days format but makes it very clear that the challenges turn his life into a living hell.

  Man gotta love how etho has stayed true to himself, I’ve been watching the guy for like 10 years or something and still no “make sure to like and subscribe “ from him, no sponsor ads, no over the top reactions, no ads at all actually now that I think of it. Crazy to think that after all this time it’s like im still in 2013 watching my favorite creator push the bounds of Minecraft and continue to innovate and blow my mind

  It&apos;s not just minecraft youtubers, It&apos;s every community ever. It&apos;s pretty sad seeing youtube like this but I think we wouldn&apos;t see anything original in awhile.

  The Civilisation Video Formula:<br>- 100-1000 players<br>- 5 nations<br>- watch them be peaceful<br>- instigate a war<br>- make the thumbnail have the overdone peace/war style
