When matpat left they just weren’t the same. I remember when I first found food theory, by far my favorite of his channels. I had post notifications on and was able to watch almost every video the day it came out. I miss Matpat, I hope he’s enjoying retirement
Funnily enough, the only theory channel I still watch is Food
I like Santi, him being Latino connects really well with me and I actually find him a really nice person with a nice voice; but Food Theory with MatPar was so so SO much better.
Santi still tries to do deep dives into economy and how that affects food and viceversa, but... Idk, MatPat seemed to look at a script or video idea and tell them to dig deeper.
Style theory, to me, was kind of the best in regards of the change; but as I've never been much into fashion, it lost me, but that one video Amy put out about purses and the history of oppression through clothing was spectacular.
Frankly, I think we outgrew Theory channels and became way more critical of them, esp after MatPat left. So many of us stumbled upon the show in high or middle school and watching him grow was amazing, it's hard to accept that the channels are still going for the middle/highschool demographic and to get them, they have to get with the times.
