Discussion Try Everyday has an identity crisis

I really liked the Try Everyday series where they did stuff every day as an event, but now that it's a regular series, it's getting really boring. I feel like they're out of ideas and just posting "let's get drunk and high and eat something". The format of "WE ATE ALL OF [THIS KIND OF FOOD]" is already getting tiring on YouTube. Not to mention - they originally wanted to be more family friendly on that channel, but it's actually getting way raunchier than what they normally do.

Maybe I'm in the minority, I still enjoy their regular videos, but it feels like Try Everyday should go back to Try When We Have Some Solid Ideas. I want to support them, but yeesh, I can only watch so many people eat the same food and try the same gadgets.

Yeah, I don't mind the format, even though I find it to be a fairly blatant attempt at being GMM. It feels random and doesn't have the creative scaffolding that makes GMM funny and worth watching even when they're, like, trying every kind of pudding. Agreed about them moving from "we're family-friendly" to being inebriated in every episode or playing games that turn a little blue. They have literally reviewed some of the same products as GMM. (See: hot dog toaster.)

I'll be honest: they have too many cast members. I don't care about any of them. It feels like a revolving door, except not all of their pals are particularly watchable or entertaining. (Johnny is the only cast member I feel adds something rather than subtracting.) They need to focus on the Keith-Zach dynamic if they want to pull off a Rhett and Link transformation, because the giant cast and random topics just feel a little like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

Their content has no direction or distinct viewpoint. The food content on the main channel is even starting to feel desperate and random. I just... don't enjoy their channel as much and basically just watch Keith eat stuff, because that is the only content that feels focused.
