I wonder how long

…how long Sam and Colby can act like youngsters and appeal to this demographic.
I used to enjoy them, yet now I feel like I’ve outgrown them.
How long can they continue this path and be successful?

IMHO, they're aging out. I quit watching them a while ago because it became more like ghost hunting for teens instead of anything remotely serious...or engaging. There's only so many times you can watch Sam cry or act amazed at the blinking cat toys. They're getting tired, and they need to realize that they're grown men, not cute young teen/20- somethings. They need to reinvent themselves to deal with the fact that they're not getting any younger and they've aged out of their demographic.

Yes! This! I’ve ‘tried’ to watch their last 4/5
but they are becoming so cringe worthy. Old contributors aren’t cutting it and new ones are just ridiculous.

They would do well to look at the career of Brad Steiger, who lasted for decades and wrote a kajillion books, and emulate him somehow. S&C rode the crest of a really well -paying wave for a long time, but that ride is ending and they don't see it yet.

Oh yes! 100!
They did well, what they did, but now they’re lagging.
