The rest of the Yogscast for just generally being shitty people once they hit the six figure earning mark doing things like promising a game and then running away with the crowdfunding.
TotalBiscuit died.
TheSpiffingBrit went from faux elitism to actual elitism and I just don’t find him funny anymore.
I sometimes wonder what TB would become if the cancer didn’t kill him. I keep wishing he would turned out decent, but the stress of him dealing with cancer starting to show some cracks. I understand, cancer sucks major ass though.
So it was definitely an act for many years, but shortly after the time he did his big cyberpunk video I feel like his character shifted. As I examine the timeline now, that’s around the time he got engaged/married so I can appreciate his priorities shifting. That’s not it, though.
What sold me on him being a bit out of touch now was the recent debacle with YouTube changing how views were counted and him being flippant about the whole thing. JoshStrifeHayes actually did a direct video response to that claim which, IMO, expertly dismantled Spiff and demonstrated why not only was he wrong, but also sitt8ng atop a high horse because he is the Spiffing Brit and losing 10k viewers means little to him. He does it on a Tuesday as an experiment, so his hot take of “people go outside bruh” doesn’t work for people who only have 7k followers.
After that, the changes I perceived in his character clicked into place for me; he’s become elitist and has lost touch with regular working class folks. That’s fine and I’m happy he’s made it like that, but I don’t need to support him any longer. And he’s not at all hurting from my lack of views.
I was so gutted when TB got diagnosed. I’m still subscribed in memorium; never found any other reviewer nearly as thorough. Every time I play a new game, I check the options menu immediately. I think of him and wonder what he would say about this game.
Sjin for touching kids.

Got an example? I’ve not really noticed any actual elitism, just his regular upper crust british characterism.
Obviously not saying its not possible, just that i havent seen it. Which is why I’d love some examples.
