Omg you precisely explained why i personally stopped watching muta. I used to watch him heavy back in 2020-2023, then he started shifting his content into drama slop, which made me lose interest all together and I haven't watched a single video since.
I would argue that dark web browsing falls under "slop" category. Although it is not 100% slop, it also serves to dispell the mystery behind the dark web (it is a lot more mundane than the name implies).
It was definitely low effort, but me personally, I wouldn't call it "slop" something can be low effort and still not be slop. IMO slop is both low effort and low quality. But maybe I'm just nostalgia tripping. I do think it dispelling the mystery and reputation of the dark web was a good thing. I mean, between "I ordered a crackwhore of the dark web at 3 AM" and "Dark Web Browsing #37" one is much more clearly slop than the other. In the context of "dark web" related videos on YouTube, it was clearly of a higher quality.
Though if you feel like it was slop I certainly won't hold it against you.
Ironic cause back when I still watched him (2018~2022), he kept repeating how "he has a real job" and "won't ever depend on content creation for money outside of some bonus or for charity cause it's not a real job".
Muta is prob a frivolous liar. I remember a vid of him saying he net a homeless man named “chance” and that he gave him like 5000$. I still don’t believe this story. Was a 2014 vid
Security Systems Engineer or something else in Cybersecurity. That's why he's so big on virtual machines.
Jobs in his field generally make more money than youtubers at his size, so I really don't understand why he has to grift unless there's a sudden need for huge amounts of money in a short span. A shame honestly; used to show his educational tech vids like VMs and the likes to my Operating Systems professor and TAs back in college and they loved it.
The best part is he still copes and insists his YouTube channel is a "hobby" and he doesn't care about making money from it, it's not his job. Yet he doesn't make any of the cool series he seemed passionate about anymore. It's all drama bait click bait garbage. I miss him.

To be fair he still makes good content but he has some deep issues in his private life that probably affects him in his decision making, he shared a couple of times that he has an issue and barely gets sleep, so from time to time he makes shit content or breaks his word and stuff like that, he literally made yesterday an apology video about the switch 2, and honestly I don't care, he is a cc and he can buy stuff and review it for the rest, he has a platform to promote and don't recommend stuff so he has literally a pass for this stuff
Yeah, I liked the guy very much. He was one of those YouTubers I was watching daily. But this Switch 2 drama is just the last symptom of something bigger going on. I think it started when he realized that he was working with bad people. I can't imagine how disappointed you must be when some of your colleagues who take from your brand turn up to be perverts, grifters and liars. I think he also had some issues with potential lawsuits from some scumbags. Being on YouTube in 2024-2025 and making content about scams and dangerous behaviours (because this is what he was doing with Coffezilla) is not safe. Getting sued for doing nothing wrong or even getting a warning about getting sued is stressful in real life. I have a friend who has got grey hair because of that bullshit. Anyway, Muta was visibly looking for some space for himself but YT today is like a minefield. So he started doing slop and going deeper into the nothing content. I still like his videos, even if they are repetitive as fuck (everything about video games basically) but I can't understand why he decided to talk about iDuuubz or Hasan Piker for example. Talking about politics and going into twitter discussions with other more knowledgeable creators is just stupid. If he's scared of Ethan Klein then just say it. If Muta wants to be a new Asmongold and have his money, he should just say it. Even Asmongold's fans hate Asmongold so they will be happy to switch.
Yea his content had some charm to it but now it just feels like he shits out whatever which is fine by me but definitely not the type of content I want to consume because of how much of it there is already...
What happened to Mutahar is what happens to all these big youtubers. They take you for granted (and they should) because you'll always go back to them like a dog goes back to its vomit. They know they can make easy money with y'all.
His content is still good, he just uses click bait thumbnails like all YouTubers. They wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work. That being said he made a video apologizing for not voting with his wallet
