WatchMojo

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.....)

When I first discovered WatchMojo, I enjoyed their top 10 lists. However, about a year or so ago, I began to loose interest, along with the top 10 list format as a whole. I began to find them boring and repetitive. Everynow and then I may go back and watch and older list, but not the newer stuff. The multiple videos a day are too much. The video themselves do not hold my attention. And their content is repetitive, often repeating itself in some form. And if anyone is curious, there rankings do not factor into my decisions as I know that everyone has different opinions, though it would be nice if they treated their top 10 lists as opinion rather than fact. They are ranking a subjective experience not a list of statistics.

Watch-mojo is Nothing special in any sort of way shape or form, but for what ever reason many people flock to see what new top ten they uploaded and stay subscribed to see what's new. They make top ten list of anything like something decently relevant such as top ten movies of the year or top ten songs from an artist, to something more random like "unconventional superhero movies" or "Deadliest little girls in anime" to really dumb ones like "Hottest female Instagram celebrities" or "Booty songs" and also something did-tasteful like "top 10 infamous mass shootings in the U.S". The reason these list have very different subject matters is because Watch-mojo is a corrupt business that takes the statistics that anyone will watch there videos by there sheer amount of them and subjects they cover....and there not wrong. It does sound very manipulative and that's because it is, even though they base their list by facts and not my opinion like every other youtuber but their are times where I found myself bored without Much to do and well sometimes I just watch one of there video's. I know that's how the get and trick people into their views but it's harmless really, I know there are people who would argue with me for saying that I shouldn't watch their videos like that anyway or at all even but Sometimes you just got 8 minutes to kill and are mildly interested in a certain top ten or something. Sure it's soulless business I guess but I only watch them every one and again when I'm really bored.

Update Edit: Just boycott all of it.

There are many things that make WatchMojo one of the worst list channels out there. To be fair though, most of them are far from great. Grunge, Screen Rant and Looper all can be just as annoying as WatchMojo, so what makes this one worse?

For one thing, they have the most inconsistent opinions I have ever seen. In one video they will condemn an edgy show for being... edgy, while in another one they will praise the show for it. Or they will call a musician s'hit, but in the next one lists their ten best songs. Makes no sense.

Part of why this happens of course is that they don't really base their lists on personal opinion, but what the majority agrees with. The problem however is that they often seem to have no clue what the population really think. For example Gravity Falls was listed as one of the worst Disney shows even though it's universally loved. Now, I've never watched Gravity Falls, but I know when someone's speaking out of their ass. Plus sometimes they'll call things offensive when nobody else agrees that it is. The "Jokes That Would Never Fly On The Simpsons Today" list is the worst one they've ever done. They completely misunderstood what most of those jokes even were about, and it reeked of overanalyzing for overanalyzation's sake. And for caring so much about calling out stuff that is offensive, they're not exactly cleancut themselves. I get kinda baffled by the sexism in some of the videos talking about beauty, treating any woman who isn't conventionally hot like she's in need of a make-over.

They will never play a full clip whenever talking about a highlight. Now, I don't know if this is for copyright reasons or whatnot, but it's very distracting when they start playing it, interrupt, continue playing it, interrupt and so on. Either play the clip or don't show a clip at all. Make up your minds.

It varies a bit which narrator they use, but most of the time it's Rebecca Brayton. And... nothing against her as a person, but her voice is so monotone and even downright annoying that it can sometimes alone make the videos unwatchable.

They reuse topics constantly, to the point where you'll often see titles with the words "Another" or "Yet Another". Or they'll talk about it on MsMojo (which is really just the exact same thing). And some of the lists are just flatout bizarre, which while unique are still ultimately pointless and headscratching.

And while there are many channels which use them, WatchMojo is one of the most grating when it comes to bleeps. Sometimes even when the swearing is relevant to the subject matter they will often bleep words out anyway. Come on, which kid is gonna care about WatchMojo? Please treat the audience like grownups. Nobody is gonna care about a curse word here and there.

And yet despite all these criticisms, I was stuck in the WatchMojo swamp for quite a while. Due to their insanely fast upload schedule, their videos will often show up in your recommendations, trying to lure you in with topics that might interest you. But don't let them trick you. Every time you give in and click on a video counting down "Top 10 Movie Birds" or whatever, you will be surrounded by a feeling of shame afterwards, knowing that those 10 minutes could have gone to cleaning my bathroom instead. And I *hate* cleaning my bathroom, so that tells you how little I value this channel.

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)
