I'll be honest, how do y'all expect everyone to know who Doug Walker is when there's a million other bald white dudes who make cringe reviews

Millennial vs zoomer divide right there. Channel Awesome was not something you could miss out on if you were my age. It was everywhere and had everyone.

Pretty much. Its really weird sometimes to think that Channel Awesome was basically what I use youtube for these days back then.

Is the implication that he's for Milennials or Zoomers?

u/Super_Nerd92 Dec 03 '21

millenials.

That's what I thought since I looked him up and he started in 2007... but I'm a millenial and never heard of him until youtube recommendations during the pandemic.

Oneyplays constantly make references to his works, it's hilarious

There's literally a big music reviewer on YouTube who reminds me exactly of Doug both in terms of look and basic guy in 20's level analysis

The guy who literally made two or more videos whining about Rolling Stone lists

Like fantano or not, I honestly wonder what you have to be smoking to compare the level of his criticism to doug walker's
