I fall into the YouTube black hole a few times a week. The topic can be something I have no plans on trying myself, like major bike repairs or flying on planes with private suites.

 

I will keep watching if the vlogger seems to have genuine passion without seeming like a nut job. It also helps if the videos are paced well. What about you?

Besides passion, a good YouTuber is consistent and understands whatever topic is in question. The ability to connect to the audience and answer most if not all of their queries, is equally important.

This is really subjective, but I can't stand it when a YouTuber is trying hard to be funny, like exaggerating a goofy face too many times or putting huge emojis or text-speak across the screen.

@whaleshark - That's a huge chunk of YouTube! Related to that, I like and get annoyed with food vloggers. It's cool learning what's popular around the world thanks to them. But many will just chew once and make that "foodgasm" face. Really?
