So it's only just dawned on me how far the spam goes on the WatchMojo.com YouTube account, taking pride in quantity instead of quality. From the screenshot below, you can see that their content is nothing more than top 10 videos and that they brag about uploading 5 videos a day. Which leads me to the point of the thread, what is the trashiest WatchMojo.com video you've ever seen?

I don't hate WatchMojo. Their entire system is based on people voting for certain topics to be covered on WM's website and their rankings are determined by their community. All they do is fill in some information for popular topics voted for by their community and present it to people in video form.
So essentially, WatchMojo is just a product of what people care about on the internet. It's just a bit sad that YouTube cares about lists, drama, drama about drama and video game footage with user commentary but to each his/her own I guess...
That being said, I tend to only really watch stuff on their channel that might interest me. I tend to ignore most of it on my feed. Here is an example of a video I would probably never watch:

What Culture is much worse because it tries to be funny too and fails hard. But i've subbed to their wrestling channel because i'm a mark for lists that cover wrestling history

@absolutezilch: I honestly tend to avoid their channel in general because of the fact they're a company. This isn't saying I hate every YouTube channel based off a company, Rooster Teeth and Aunty Donna are great. But it's the fact that they make list videos that are meant to sound like an opinion when it has less emotion than the facial expressions of a door.
If there is one positive point for them though, is that their lists are actually lists. To explain myself, theirs going to be a bit of history needed about them. Their first list was made in around July of 2007 (source from July 25th 2007), and back then although their lists looked more personal, they were split up into one number of the list per video, like those clickbait articles but in video form. But 2 days and 175 videos later, they found out that pumping out lists were good. Yet for some reason, they kept on spamming.
Their lists were the only personality they had for the spamming they put on their channel, which was lost when they made lists their only videos on their channel. They have the power to have personality, but at the end of the day, since they joined YouTube just over 9 years ago, the more they upload the more money they'll get regardless of quality, and that's the number 1 influence of their channel.

I watched a couple here and there, I watched a video about music they did that was complete trash.

@Parks: or anny channel that gets a niche like that if all you do is make top 10 videos you can only talk about so many things until you get stale

@oilfire30: Then if you've seen that spark in them before, then you know that they're symptoms of the system rather than an insidious corporation. There was another 'list-based' content guy I used to like called Danger Dolan because of the interesting, warped content he tended to create and to some extent, the commentary on his videos still do have some character but they still feel a bit rushed and not as cleverly scripted as before. I don't blame him; I still feel like he's a product of the system.

@absolutezilch: I did say little, as in they show their faces. They sound like they're reading a script. Keeping in mind that this is 2007.
