Are you aware that Sseth and Mandalore are the same dude right? So, what personality you are talking about? When I'm talking about a personality youtuber, I'm talking of a dude that shows his face on a camera and use youtube and social media to become famous and go on events as an "influencer", on conventions, do all kinds of publicity deals, do interviews on media sites, have special access to developers, fly on sponsored shilling events, do retarded reaction videos, farm forced ultrage and drama for views, do endless minecraft videos because that is what children watch, talk about superfluous pop culture retardation and all kinds of garbage superfluous content to promote himself into a millionaire exactly like pewdiepie did.Sseth is ABSOLUTELY a "personality" youtuber, the fact that he puts effort into videos or have relatively inclined tastes doesn't change the fact that his content is heavily reliant on his delivery and jokes and entertainment derived from that, not on being particulary informative / objective / well-researched. I think majority of people want to watch another Sseth review, not a review of a game "X".Not all of them sell real world copies specially of obscure indie games, Sseth is different, most successful "influencers" are attention whores that use the games as just a prop for themselves, people don't watch them for the games but for their "personality", most of them stick to AAA games (games that don't even need their reviews to sell anyway) because the objective isn't to talk about the game but the sweet youtube ad money and sell themselves as a "personality". Youtube is full of attention whores like that.
There are other "influencers" which content consist of making reviews on a process that wouldn't be strange on a sausage processing factory, they just place random video footage on the background and go rambling about the game on the most lazy way possible, their motto is the least amount of effort for the most bang possible. They go commenting about the features of the game on the most disconnected way possible, filled with barely developed subjective evaluations he quickly wrote down on some dirty napkin somewhere. You can see they played through the game but didn't even bother to actually think a little deeper about the game they just played.
Sseth doesn't do attention whoring nor produces content like an youtube sausage factory, he actually must waste a ton of time editing to make the gags to work as the gags aren't focused on him but on elements of the game so he shows the qualities of the game on a non autistic way that isn't a ultra lazy copy paste format that most youtubers do that manages to be funny with edgylord humor.
Of course all content you do will have your personality in there, that is unavoidable, that wasn't my definition of a "personality" youtube. I don't think some dude showing off his gay free utopia on Rim World where he was making money of recycled organs of gay people or making jokes about the holocaust as he burns enemies alive on an incineration chamber on Rim World will become the next youtube millionaire, that is for sure.
Sseth is the only 1 million + youtuber talking of incline games, that alone makes his edgy lord jokes more useful than 99,9% of youtube e-celeb clowns.
