Boogie2988 and Talesin and Evitel are almost impossible to watch now a days. I used to like them but they got super annoying very fast.

For me it's pretty much anyone who goes "This is your boy" or "Hey boys" like dude... stop.
DalaranGaming. I can't stand his slurred speech but I love the PvP videos. So I watch them on mute.
Or the artificial excited loud types, those annoy me. The random screaming and head twitching is cringey.
Used to like talesin wow vids, but now his twitch streams turned into huge non-stop sjw rants while showing jelly audience next xpac alpha n saying nothing about wow...now his sjw rants have started to creep into his youtube vids..n on his stream he insults n swears at his audience, guy is unhinged, he can't make a short point n dismissal, instead goes on a hour long rant, I think he wants to be that guy n his audience has gone wayy down, they came for wow, not uk politics or whatever..
He also gave me a creepy Kevin Spacey vibe when prince Anduin was a teen character n Talesin kept being super slimy n horny about it.. so gross!
Otherwise their vids were great, should have stuck with their concept..
I should also add, any youtuber that is hostile and belligerent to his/her audience. I have seen youtubers be appreciative, friendly and enjoy what they do (Mrllamasc for example). But there are those that get annoyed at basic quesrtions (SEE THE FAQ) or can't take criticism and think they are better than their audience (unless they are Patreon supporters). Farfromsubtle falls into this category.
Wow Youtubers - Taliesin, with HeelvsBabyface being close second. Most others I'm okay with.
General - any "youtube drama" (e.g. Keemstar) or outrage focused channel (e.g. Quartering).
Common theme I'm seeing: "I find <insert channel> annoying because I probably don't agree with them." I'd hazard a guess that likely has less to do with the channel and their content being annoying and more to do with the individual's personal hangups or views being challenged. I'd be curious if people could name YouTubers/channels whose content that they don't agree with but would still watch. I'll admit, even I catch myself getting annoyed with certain channels that I don't agree with, but most people like to reaffirm their own biases and avoid anything that gives them that annoyed feeling when someone challenges their world view. Although this mostly has to do with opinion/political-oriented channels, but almost every channel gets into opinion at some point.
The YouTuber content that personally annoys me the most are the ones that try to make convincing arguments and throw out a bunch of 'facts' and sources (most of which people won't even check personally and outright believe), but are purposefully being deceptive... usually lying via omission or twisting the truth/narrative with nice-looking/convincing non-sequitors. Almost all the arguments and positions of this nature get boiled down to emotion (especially rebuttals by these creators), and the supporting details are just there to make the viewer and creator feel justified in embracing that emotional argument or stance. Doesn't matter if I agree with what they're saying or not, as I've seen this behavior demonstrated across the spectrum. When it comes to challenging your own beliefs and opinions by watching certain YouTubers with whom you may not agree, it's going to get uncomfortable and annoying at first... but one should always challenge your own biases, even if watching said content just legitimately reaffirms your beliefs. There's actually some subscription content I love watching (don't think they're on YouTube, might release clips on the platform) that constantly challenges what I believe and think, and I find it wonderful to view.
That being said... generically speaking, Annoying Orange is annoying, but that's kind of intentional.

“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”

So 90% of the answers in this thread are just the ones who shit on wow at some point i guess, But any youtuber tbh with a fake over the top personailty
This.
I do not waste my time watching X guy and thinking 'his ideas are stupid, i hate him'.
I also recently started removing a lot of channels i've been subsrcribed even for a long time. So many people now want easy money and are no longer even trying ot hide it.
If X youtuber doing any of these:
- video is alomst exactly 10min long (a few sec longer)
- uploading 1-2 vids per day
- 20-30% of length is 'like, subsrcibe, press bell button, follow me on facebook/twitter/instagram/onlyfans, give me money on patreon' etc.
- random add of some dosghit product/mobile game is just part of video
- annoying arrows for idiots in thumbnails
- and a few more things
...it means that person no longer cares and is just instant nope from me.
