Hello everyone, I grew up watching YouTube and many of its OG creators, such as DanTDM, Game Theory, PewDiePie, Markiplier, CaptainSparklez, PopularMMOs, Jacksepticeye, and a bunch of Minecraft YouTubers like Stampy and SkyDoesMinecraft. I’ve watched YouTube change a lot over the years, and many of these creators have either moved on or stopped uploading as much—if at all.

I’m now 20, and it feels strange because I used to watch all of these YouTubers when I was younger. Now it feels like they’ve all moved on. Why is this the case?

Hey everyone, I’m now 19 and I have a genuine question. I grew up watching Minecraft YouTube during the 2010s from 2010 to 2020 when I was a little kid and am wondering what ever happened to the channels that did minecraft lets play content. stampy was a big one for me but there was also the others such as

Popularmmos, CaptainSparklez, , iBallisticSquid, yogscast, Sundae, DanTDM, SkyDoesMinecraft, AntVenom, StacyPlays, LDShadowLady, JeromeASF, bajan canadian, vikk123, Stacy plays, MMAPgaming, Logdotzip, bigbstatz, or even the side ones like Preston, unspeakable, and so many others shaped my childhood.

When Stampy ended his Lovely World in 2023, it feels like that whole era of Minecraft YouTube such as the classic solo survival and Let’s Play style has gone completely quiet. I’m curious: what actually happened to that 2010s Minecraft/Let’s Play era? Why did it fade away so much, and why do we rarely see content like that anymore? why after stampys world ending its like everything went quiet truly? I genuinely miss the old days of minecraft YouTube and miss the days of coming home from school to watch the videos.

I’m needing advice on what to do, as I’m in a rough situation at university. I’ve started an engineering degree (I’m in first year), and to be honest, I haven’t had any interest in studying outside of class. I’m lacking motivation, procrastinating heavily, and not doing any study at home. I always struggled with maths and physics in senior high school level as well and was not that great (got below average grades) due to content difficulty and further procrastination in study outside of class.

However, I feel like I have to do engineering because it’s what I’ve always planned to do. It’s a secure career, it pays well, and I want to make my parents happy and proud. I don’t want to feel like I’ve failed them by not becoming either a doctor or an engineer. At the same time, I’m struggling with the content and finding it hard to motivate myself to study beyond what’s required in class, especially because the material feels so difficult and cant be bothered to revise for hours upon hours more as it’s so hard and time consuming (especially with certain questions that can take hours to do and u still have a whole sheet of questions left).

I’m not sure what to do, as I can’t really imagine myself pursuing a career outside of being a lawyer, engineer, or doctor and disappointing my family. Is it possible for me to go through any of these courses with minimal study outside of class?
