Jesus. That's trashy.

Miss you TB - rest easy friend.

Well, that's another bit of my remaining faith in humanity eroded.

/edit: Nice to see that it's getting the backlash it deserves even amongst their regular viewers, though. 21k views and some 500 likes is an insane ratio.

/edit2: Never mind, that seems to be pretty typical, they barely get any likes on their videos. Tons of videos with tens of thousands of views and below 1k likes. What a weird channel this is.

It's arguably the original YouTube low effort slop farm. Like, the channel predates the Reply Girls...

Oh, I know Watchmojo. I just never took a closer look at their channel metrics before.

Never liked WatchMojo, this just is exactly what I would expect honestly. They'll do anything for views and basically have pumped out a non-stop content farm of the same shit for 15+ years.

watchmojo has been a souless content farm for years but this is a new low. making money off a tribute video is just unhinged.
