💰 Grifter Reviewtechusa / Richard Masucci

[MasterMiller]

Thinking about it more though, I am kind of sad that his channel is gone. I used to enjoy his tech garbage news and the micro drama we would get himself into. He was prolific as a reviewer early on as well, when I found an old atgames console and look for reviews he would have one up.

Agreed. I first starting watching him back in 2011. Sure it was pure slop news content for the most part, but I found it entertaining. I liked his videos where he talked about his dating nightmares or other stuff like that. They were funny at times even.

Almost a bit sad to see what has happened to him. I've really come to dislike Rich a lot these past few years. Him deleting his channel for some attention is just another nail in the coffin.

 

[Islamic Jihad Rocket]

The fact he is deleting 15 years of content to pursue political streaming is fucking hilarious, but also from a preservationist standpoint, it really sucks (either if it was worth preserving or not would probably be for you to decide), I haven’t kept up with Rich in a while but I remember there was a clip of him yelling in an empty food court when he was beefing with Quarterpounder, seeing how far he has fallen doesn’t surprise me one bit, bro really decided to DFE his entire channel rather than leaving it up lol.

 

[stupid frog]

Doesn’t he get passive incomd from it? Why not jut keep it up and just turn everything off?

He deleted $600~/mo.

It's only temporary, I assume, because all the videos in OP says Unavailable, not the account was been terminated.

 

[Edelgard von Hresvelg]

I was just thinking back to some of those old-ass bathroom/dating horror stories from ten years ago and wondering whether or not I should listen to them again. I actually thought they were pretty funny.

Watching his slow-but-steady spiral - and now deletion - has been something else, and I don't even pay that much attention to him any more! DSP once again coming out on top.

Now the next step after this is signing a job application.

It use to drive me crazy seeing his videos about fat lolcow reatards where he's giving advice but he's just as fat with a dying channel putting out slop acting high and mightly

He's one of those people that would never make it on YouTube nowadays because he has absolutely no passion or in-depth knowledge on the subjects his covering.
The average YouTube viewer interested enough on the subject he's covering to click the video would have greater insight in the subject.

He's a relic from a bygone era were the talent pool was tiny.

He's also really unlikeable.

 

[Awssum Possum]

I hope somebody archived his shit, this is annoying as fuck

I've been thinking a lot about this topic lately. A lot of the early YouTubers (even some whom I enjoy like AVGN) got popular because they were the only people about certain topics. If you wanted tech YouTube videos, ReviewTechUSA was one of the first and few to talk about it.

I listened to the JoonTheKing Documentary about him during a road trip and he sounds like a massive asshole (both figurative and literally)

YouTubers who delete their channel makes me think of an old Hollywood story. Red Skelton to the younger generations he was a successful comedian back in the day he did vaudeville, radio, film, and tv having a show that ran for 20 years 17 of which it was in the top 10 of shows, but was a victim of the great rural purge CBS did in the early 70's. CBS cancelled any show with a tree the joke was to create new shows to appeal to a younger audience on the bright side this did lead to shows like All in the Family and MASH.

But Skelton was heartbroken by the cancellation and owned all the copies of his show and refused to run them in syndication and was rumored to have it his will they were to be destroyed upon his death. Writers of the show sued him because he was going to destroy the show, they worked decades on it was their careers on screen. Skelton revealed his will had no such clause and he went on to say, "Would you burn the only monument you've built in 20 years?".

Skelton was angry but not stupid, he wasn't going to destroy his life's work.

It might be time to put the fries in the bag.

 

[Ed Special]

15 years of history..... Just gone.

And yet nothing of value was lost, besides all the times he told the anecdote of the cart return guy he used to work with getting fucked up on angel dust and whipping his ass.

 

[Kiwisee]

Wait until he finds out that political live streamers are a dime a dozen; a crowd where he won’t stand out in because he doesn’t have any remarkable amount of charisma.

It’s obvious he’s trying to cash in on the current political climate of the USA.

 

[Roggishi]

Imagine pissing away 1 million subs. Even if the views had tanked , he probably could have shit out some tech or culture war vid now and then and still made a bit. AlphaOmegaSin is an example, who left his channel doormant for 2 years, came back when he felt like it and still managed to draw 30-50k views.

AVGN is the same as RTU. They fell out of passion of what they were doing, but couldn't stop doing YT because it's what they rely on financially so they throw out slop (AVGN) or have mental breakdowns (RTU)

all fatass RTU does is read IGN articles while playing video games. Absolutely nothing of value was lost.

Oh, I didn't say it had value, but it was still his life's work which in and of itself is sad.

 

[WhoDaresWhoCaresWhoKnows]

Imagine just deleting that much passive income because you cannot handle dropping below 1 million subs... I really do not see any other perceivable reason than his fragile ego being the cause of this. At least now he will always be able to say he had a 1 million sub channel.
He could even have stopped making new content entirely and just started making super-cuts/edits and the like of his old content and cruised for at least a few years at this point with such a large backlog. Just pathetic, but I guess that is just too much work when all you do is consume weed in various forms and read a-log content all day while mooching off your parents.

Honestly if he rebrands as a political talking head with that many subscribers, he might be able to game the algorithm. But this is assuming he can work with the momentum and say anything interesting.

 

[Cowboy Christ]

Ohhhhhh Richard, Richard, Richard...

He says he doesn't wanna regurgitate tech opinions anymore, and then proceeds to enter a field of discussion where he'll inevitably end up parroting someone.
Even if streaming useless opinions would theoretically make more than those videos, he's gonna wake up in the middle of the night realising how retarded he is for destroying his legacy, even if it decayed near the end anyway.

It takes more balls than braincells to grab your own life by the neck and snap it while yelling "skibidi bop mm dada".
You'll feel the sting, if not now then eventually.
