I know this sounds bad, but holy hell how have standards in streaming content fallen so much? Every time something piques my interest I turn it on only to hear:

- Dogshit audio quality, like someone's calling in from a landline at the train station.

- Embarrassing, retarded speaking issues, like disabilities, pathologies, and disfigurements

- Cringe-sounding voices that make you ashamed to share a hobby with them

- Coughing into the microphone

- Eating into the mic, then going overboard and doing it even worse when people complain. (*great* joke, dude, that's *hilarious*)

- Smoking into the mic so people hear your bongwater, or burping and laughing about how gross it sounds

- No good microphone, streaming on airpods or phone headsets as if that's adequate.

- No audio mastery for pre-recorded stuff. I've seen full-on million-dollar operations "master" their shit by booting up imovie on the intern's macbook and hitting the "autofix" while listening to their video through the stock laptop speakers

I know I’m being mean and venting, but I actually root for people to put out good content. I’m happy to see it whenever it appears. It’s rare, and people are desperate for it. I just see a lot of laziness in the ‘creator’ class, and it drives me up the wall.

Also it’s really grossing me out how every time I click on something it’s some guy who sounds like a retard. Sorry bucko, but if you’ve got a voice that’s hard to listen to you need to put the work in to address it. It’s not your audience’s job to overlook your disabilities.
