WatchMojo

This is probably one of the worst YouTube channels to come out of Youtube as a whole.

To start off with, this channel is so empty, faceless, and boring as beige. At least with other countdown channels, they actually have personality, and someone you could maybe relate to. These guys make about 5 videos a day just so they can take advantage of the YouTube partnership program. YouTube used to be a place for hobbies, now it's for weasel jokes like Buzzfeed & Watch Mojo to make millions of dollars a year. (More on Buzzfeed another time) Another reason for why I hate them is that they try to pretend that they know everything. They think that Teen Titans Go was an honorable mention in their "Top ten cartoons of the 2010s" video. This is another example of Watch mojo putting in whatever's popular onto their lists. TTG is the most overplayed show on CN right now so it would make sense for them to cash in on this pathetic excuse for a show, but if they had done their research right then they would know how bad that show is. So yes Watchmojo pretends to be "hardcore" on every subject, but fails miserably.

I know they themselves like to poke fun at the whole "running out of ideas" gag with the t-shirts that say just that. But being self aware isn't going to do you any good. That's like saying I smell like hoarse hooves so I'm going to go make a coffee mug that says "I smell like hoarse hooves".

Plus they upload five videos every day so it's very hard for smaller channels that make better quality videos to compete with YouTube's horrible algorithm.

I can't believe people actually subscribed to them. There are better top ten list channels that post actually acceptable lists that have reasoning,and they have someone that you can relate to. If you're interested in some good top ten cartoon videos, then check out RebelTaxi. If you're interested in Nintendo top tens then check out Nathaniel Bandy. I also hate how Watchmojo gets all of this money even though there are military soldiers who sacrifice their life yet they don't even get paid as much as Watch mojo. And I would ignore Watchmojo but they are literally all over YouTube because they make top ten lists about EVERYTHING. Such as "Top ten Snow movies". "Top ten Colorations of liquid that watch Mojo squirts out of their ears every year". The list goes on and on and on. I sure hope their "YouTube channel" (if you can even call it that) dies due to the fact that these scumbags abuse the YouTube algorithm.

In fact, I hope they make a "Top ten IMDb hate reviews of Watchmojo" video, just so they can put this at number one.

And that my readers is why watch mojo is possibly one of the worst Youtube channels of all time. (Tied with Buzzfeed)

This "show" is just awful, it has completely ran out of ideas. The worst part about the "show" is basically the only part, the lists are just wrong, they pretend that they are some kind of hardcore movie and video game critics and they pretend to rate there lists on some kind of "scientific" basis as if they rate all of the things on the list on certain criteria, but they don't, there lists are just simply wrong, the rankings are barely an opinion because any remotely intelligent persons opinion would be better that theirs, if you are looking to see a "professional" comparison on a stupid category then look elsewhere. 1/10 (I gave it a 1 only because it wouldn't let me give it a 0).

I'm not actually going to write ten reasons, but let's start with at least one. That should be enough.

The listicle format of so many articles and videos on the internet is a dreadful trend that repurposes other more meaningful content for clicks and views. WatchMojo aren't the only entity guilty of this - BuzzFeed's entire existence is largely built on it - but they are easily one of the most prolific examples of such non-writing on YouTube.

I watched a handful of their videos out of curiosity a while ago. It quickly became a regrettable experience as their work - even from an editorial standpoint - is bland and unimaginative, with zero sense of any distinct voice or passion. Even their narration sounds suspiciously like someone reading the opinions espoused in other listicles scattered over the internet, delivered in a tone that lacks personality and may well be computer-generated.

Worse yet, the sheer volume of videos they produce means they inevitably show up in recommendations in place of other material that might have been produced with a modicum of effort. It's content farming at its most cynically lazy, obviously geared to exploit the algorithms behind YouTube's search and recommendation systems.

If I didn't have to be constantly reminded of the company's existence via the right-hand side of the YouTube page, I would eventually (and thankfully) never think about the company again. As they keep announcing their existence whenever I'm looking for something else, they draw enough ire for me to write about it.

They make bad lists as well as good ones.

I watch new videos in my spare time.

Honestly? The content here is pretty dull, and sometimes outright bad. But it is FAR from the worst stuff on Youtube if you can believe that. It isn't even the worst "top 10 list channel". Just let that sink in.....

The positives? Well, their videos can be pretty informative. If you want some quick info on irrelevant (or very relevant) stuff this is a good place for general info. Sometimes their videos can be entertaining too, but usually only if the narrator is having fun and making some good jokes *cough COUGH Todd Haberkorn cough*. And overall, I just like watching them to see my favorite stuff end up on their best lists or stuff I hate be on the worst lists. That's why anyone watches these in the first place right? Not ashamed to admit that honestly.....

Want a better top 10 list channel? Check out PhantomStrider! His main subjects are cartoons, animation, and movies but he talks about other stuff like games and sometimes gives advice on mental health. Plus he always enjoys what he does! Has more spirit and "pazazz" than the people behind WatchMojo, so I always enjoy seeing him talk about anything. He is also just in general, a really REALLY nice guy who cares about his audience! What's not to like? Check out PhantomStrider on Youtube!

On the other hand, are you curious to know what could possibly be WORSE than WatchMojo? Check out Screen Rant, The Richest, and *shudders* "The Things". How are they worse exactly? I don't think explaining it here will do it justice, and you only need to see ONE of their videos to know how truly awful and poorly researched their content is. At least WatchMojo does SOME research whereas these channels are 100% clickbait and behind the clickbait is just painful content. Check out one of their videos if you dare, but you are almost guaranteed to be disappointed (The Things in particular are so bottom-of-the barrel that I could barely sit through a single minute of their videos.....)
