D&D General Bob World Builder Recreates WOTC's "Do You Like Me?" Survey!

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Yeah Bob is definitely one of the better Youtubers. He doesn't try to be click baity and most of his stuff is just about running the game.

If he's doing clickbait, he's doing a bad job of it generally. Today's video, which I watched as I was drinking my coffee, was about how much soy sauce to use to stain your maps and other handouts.

What is all this negativity toward Bob? I find him to be one of the most courteous, non-click baity you tubers out there. Bob is disappointed with some of WotC's decisions, but is definitely not rolling out "I hate WotC and here's why YOU should too!" videos.

Bob is re-doing the survey out of curiosity. It's not going to have the same results as WotC's but it's fun.

Bob is sometimes mean to honest about WotC. A lot of fans react…poorly to that.

And this will have a predictable impact on this "recreated survey" he's doing.

I only found Bob's channel about a month or two ago while looking for some Daggerheart content. I like his channel a lot more than many others as he's positive about his subjects and doesn't try to do the over the top excitement approach that irritates me with so many other channels.

Counter argument American corporation.

Yes, a comparison that favors the soulless corporations.

"One of the better YouTubers" is a solid example of damning with faint praise.

"One of the better tabloid rags"

"One of the better used car salespeople"

I think this is unfair to Bob. He has a solid, entertaining channel without the click-bait drama. There are others as well: Questing Beast, Seth Skorkowsky, Lazy GM, Bandit's Keep, Tegan J. Gaming, to name a few. It's not all shocked faces and red arrows pointing to the DOOM of our hobby.

I mean, I gave up on him a while ago when he started trending thst direction, and the subject matter if the OP is a toxic negative stunt (in principle, I will not reward this with clicks).

I follow his videos and I'm honestly not seeing this. He does a mix of tips, interviews and discussions of other rpgs. And his fun videos on rations and experiments with potion drinking times. Yes, there's been a few videos criticising WotC, but only when WotC needs calling out.

I'm not seeing the survey as a toxic stunt. It just seems like curiosity because it was brought up on The Lazy GM and then Mike dismissed the idea. Putting out this survey as a chance to stab at WotC and twist the knife just really doesn't feel like Bob. At all. Just a few weeks ago, I was thinking how nice it is to watch Bob World builder because he is so friendly and low-key. Seeing complaints about Bob going all click-baity caught me off guard.

I started a +thread for discussing D&D You Tube channels we find worthwhile here.

Yeah, well, I don't follow him because what I did see was leaning toxic: and this is absolutely a click-bait stunt to gin up views, i.e. revenue. I don't have time for that nosie.
