Yes, he does. I always recognized Boyd Rice in that photograph but never realized one of the members of Strawberry Switchblade was in it. That's crazy

The image isn't there and he doesn't give any context for it, he just names all the artists she collaborated with like Current 93 and Death in June

Jon Bois has better presentation skills than probably any other video essayist. I just finished watching his three-part series on the Reform Party, though I wasn't expecting to; the first episode came out a few months ago; the second part one week ago. I'd recommend the first part highest, as it covers the most relevant history and is less moralistic and obnoxious than the other two. Bois is best known for covering historical sports topics, and I've seen most of his video essay content, even though I don't have serious knowledge about any sport. His BEST video in terms of presentation and content is about the famous basketball game between DeVry and Troy State.

I blame EmpLemon's vegan diet for the decline of his videos. 5-7 years ago he was Actually Edgy to some degree and was my favorite YouTuber.

i'm starting to realize that i don't like amateur youtube documentaries. i like when someone actually has an original opinion or perspective and elaborates upon it extensively. if the video is just walking me through something that happened, i find it hard to care. this is part of why i like hbomb and tim rogers so much.
