Another algorithm casualty here, another out of touch rich guy there.
There but for the like and subscribe go I.
Northernlion is all audience interaction now.
I found him searching super meat boy when he was about 50 videos into the binding of Issac, I couldn't stand that games themes at the time, but after he posted the hundredth video or so I decided to give it a shot, it was relatively entertaining and very easy to fall asleep to.
Now he just interacts with his audience, and it's really not my jive, still subscribed, but haven't watched a video in probably over a year.
His style drastically changed since he had his daughter.

SerpentZA loved his hopeful and exciting content, then he became embittered and critical of everything
Dude was like so overly positive of China, then immediately does a 180 and trash China, once he got a visa to the USA. Make me wonder if any of his praises were genuine, or just bootlicking whoever is in power. Bootlicking CCP when he's there, then bootlicks USA when he gets here. A "White-Monkey Job" as he and his friend laowhy86 calls it.
Also, dude is super weird. Why does he use "My Chinese Wife" in his video titles. Asian-fetishism? 🤔 A normal person would just use "my wife" and you can add their face to the thumbnail if you want, or just mention by name. Using "Chinese Wife" is a odd phrase to say. Like imagine a white American Youtuber uses "My Black Wife" in the video title, like that's just super weird.
The Chinese doesn't refer the ethnicity in this context but cultural. So it would be more like saying "My Nigerian wife". Viewers then have an expection to see stuff cultural stuff. It also helps the search algorithms I suppose.
But yea I did kinda stop watching them as well. It was getting too much I guess.

Cleetus McFarland. Glad he diversified and got successful, but death by product placement made me unsubscribe a year or so ago.

Not Lenny!
This is like every ASMR creator with more than ~10k subs. I'm sorry but "go to my second channel/Patreon/linktree/whatever other shameless self plugging bullshit" for 5 minutes at the beginning of every video doesn't help me fall asleep even if you are whispering it.
"tell me about the likes and subscribes[sic], George."
