What Are Triggers Which Turn You Off From Channels/Videos?

Michael Whaley said:
Personally, I dislike channel names that have all caps "HD" in it. "CodGamesHD" and stuff like that almost always turns me away. I don't see the point in it at all haha. I also generally get turned off from a video when the title isn't capitalized. Since it's the title of the video, I generally feel it should be capitalized like a movie or book title. For example - "Minecraft episode 1 - enter the nether". It doesn't have to follow the rules precisely, but some capitalization makes it looks that much better to me. Maybe I'm a bit more picky than most haha. What are some of your pet peeves about channel and video names?

Great ones! "HD" in the title is obnoxious. I also can't stand X's at the end and beginning and end of a channel name. I ALSO can't stand non-capitalized titles. It also bothers me when channels don't have a featured video
 
#1 reason I click away from videos is audio. Either bad quality, too quiet, or even hard to hear over other sounds (badly balanced) will drive me away within 10 seconds.

And yeah, what's up with all those gamers! Yeeesh! :whistling2:
 
I hate when these stupid little 12-15 year olds go off on topics they know nothing about. Like politics, or even sports. They suck. So. Bad. Just the little whiny voice, and the excessive use of hand gestures, using the enhanced video editing program their mom bought for them. Drives me nuts.
Or when someone on Youtube has a s**t load of subscribers, and they make a video about something so stupid. And regardless of how horrible the video is, it gets tons of views, and tons of likes. They don't even have to try, and they get the stats. I hate it.
Or when sports vloggers judge a player off of appearance. Like RideThePine. That guy flat out sucks. So cocky. Thinks he knows anything and everything about sports in general. When he really only knows about football. And even that, he's poorly informed. I just wish people thought out a video before they made it. They waste their time making the video, and in the process, make me waste my time just by watching the garbage.

Honestly, biggest way to lose me as a viewer is bad audio. If I have to keep adjusting my volume, or there's a lot of distortion, it's painful to listen to.

Also:
- Long, awkward pauses in vlogs
- Apologizing or being very passive (this is your own video, people. Be wrong confidently!)
- Homophobic slang (I'm fine with bad language, but...)
- When the video is more than 10% appealing to subscribers, e.g. "Let me know what I should vlog about", "Subscribe, like", etc

This should be a general life rule.
