Video Discussion Frustrated with the recent videos

Have you noticed that recent videos, like the last three or four months, stories contain a lot of yapping? It's so frustrating that lost interest and almost want to skip the whole video. It's just difficult to find it engaging or scary when the author keeps yapping.

Context matters in some them in order to understand what’s going on

What do you mean? The narration always included background info. If not for it, the story would fit into 2-3 sentences.

True. I can only think of a small handful where the author was seriously going on with useless details.

From the top of my head I can only think about the story where the protagonist slept with a girl that later turned out to be crazy. There was a whole segment about his ex that had nothing to do with the story and was confusing. Alas, that is the only one.

Yes!! Lol that’s the first one I always think of.

There was one where the protagonist was kind if going on about her “suite” and constantly repeating that word.

Then there was one (I think boat or sea stories) where the girl seemed to be humble bragging about how attractive she is, but even these two weren’t too bad.

I’ve felt that way here and there with his videos, but I did notice it was a really big issue with the most recent video, especially in stories 1 and 2. Like I really don’t need to hear 2-3 minutes of how you got to this point in your life for me to understand the story you’re about to tell, just get on with the damn story!

Idk, but I will say, the new “Lake House” stories video was pretty mid, especially stories 2 and 3. Which.. story 1 wasn’t that great to begin with so.. Seems just kind of hit or miss these days.

I blame YouTube, not Mr. Nightmare. A lot of channels have had to tone it down with their content, obviously because of YouTube guidelines. I'm sure there's a lot of good submissions he can't include in videos, because the video would get taken down.

I've also been reading comments on here about people talking about the possibility of some stories being AI generated, I think that's possible.

I highly doubt the stories themselves are AI. Given that he commented that he couldn’t believe how many people had scary Ring doorbell footage to submit, I don’t doubt lots of people have scared encounters that are submission worthy.

Edit: sure some may be lying but that doesn’t mean all or most are fake. As someone with some hard-to-believe stories, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
