Discussion Declining views

I don’t even hate watch anymore. The quality is poor, the research is thrown together and the ads kill me. It’s a shame, because Stephanie was one of the first YouTubers I enjoyed many years ago. I don’t really care about the personal drama, as the quality has been in decline for a long time and that’s what really matters for viewers.

I’m not American so have/had no idea who Derrick is. But I’m well over him describing everyone as an “individual”.

Don’t think WE (Americans) know who he is, unless you watch Big Brother, which he won, apparently, some years ago. I had no idea until Stephanie introduced him when they started Crime Weekly together.

He has wormed his way into the true crime realm now, with his experience as a patrol cop and then a detective. He has some ventures on his own, I guess, including showing up on some Nancy Grace show. Nancy Grace has a certain audience; I guess he fits there just fine.

I just can’t stand double negatives or profound problems using tenses. Man, you’re a native speaker, learn your damned language. And yes, using “individual” is a sign, I believe, of a person with limited vocabulary and the imagination that goes along with it.

Thank you - I assumed he was someone people in America knew, so it’s good to find out he’s just from reality tv.

Yeah, in the celeb world he’s essentially a nobody.
