Bellular, friend or foe?

This is same with Asmongold. But the true question is - whats harder?

  1. Play the game, improve and put the work and effort in to achieve your goals in the game.

or

  1. Became so famous and loved by the community that ppl actualy do these stuff for you. Give you gold, carry you trough raids,give you thousands of dollars worth mounts etc.

Pick one. Which is in your opinion harder?
Because i personaly would absolutely love to sit on my backdoor in valdraken and have ppl trading gold to me instead of doing some tedious bs.

Imho theres a fine line with these topics where you just became a jealous or envious of others.
Not simping for either of them but some pll should realy ask themself that question above.

Same here. I tend to zone out when watching streamers so I don’t. haha.

I like instead lore videos, music videos, and machinimas.

people praise asmongold who wouldnt even get anything in game without being carried

I used to not mind him but he has become a draining, complaining bore.

I really dislike the way he sensationalises the most mundane topics. Like most of them wow youtubers they get to big and start to believe their own exaggerations. So do others it seems. I made it soo his stuff doesn’t show up anymore.

I still don’t know who that Vellular guy is.

Bellular speaks the truth we should take wow out the back and put a bullet in the old girl to put it out of its misery oh wait that’s not what he was saying nm then

His videos are cool when wow or blizaard has content to discuss. In other times his videos are garabage (for example in mid-late shadowlands i think almost every video was dog, cause of content drought

Does it really matter?

Some see him as a good source, others don’t? He used to be much better than he is now but he’s still okay.

I swear you pay a sub just to trash talk on the forums not very fitting for somebody of your supposed age.

Bellular is a clickbaiter. He lures people with big phat titles that do not quite match the video.
Asmongold is Asmongold but he never pretended to be something else. If anything he grew noticeably wiser with age.

I actually do watch Asmongold’s tmog shows, but don’t tell anyone I’ve said that. :shushing_face:

in my opinion Belular is neither friend or foe. I see him as another player who became a youtuber and shares his opinions and passions for the game with the platform.
Sometimes you agree with what he says, Sometimes you don’t.

He can come off as a know it all at times, Who tells blizzard ‘‘the answers’’ But really how many of us posting here on the forums haven’t assumed that role by now our self
Come on you all know it.

He just happens to have a Youtube channel to post his opinions on. Same as Asmongold. So their opinion and takes hits a little harder

Aren’t we all? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I read Bellular, and i just tap out. I cant remember ever having more distaste for a content creator. In general all wow content creators are absolutely garbage but Bellular just strokes me in the wrong way. He doesnt even play the game just smack talk it while harvesting free money from braindeads giving away money for free.

Just ignore the clowns guys

I usually listen to his videos in the background.
But the annoying thing about him is that when i start the vid to see what its about and then goes like: Yeah, this seems interesting. So i put down my phone and start cooking or whatever when i hear: BUT FIRST LETS GO SPONSOR TIME!

Im never interested in listening or watch what kind of sponsor any youtuber has and it annoys me that they don’t put the sponsor part first or last.

Apart from that i enjoy the lore videos. He’s an ok guy.

like all streamers, his only friend is clicks

Honestly, Asmongold can be entertaining sometimes, but both Taliesin and Bellullar have 0 personality and just either read wowhead for you or whatever their discord orbiters told them to.

I seriously don’t understand why people watch these guys. You learn more by reading updates yourself instead of listening to these two buffoons doing speculation that 99% of the time is nothing. While the 1% is fed by Blizzard for advertisement.

I would say: neither of these.

I am new to the game, well, got interested in it a while back, but never played it, last expansion I was engaged with was Wrath of the Lich King, and now I thought, why not try the new stuff.
And since I am new, I looked for information, saw a video of Bellular about dragon riding because I asked myself if there be an add-on to help with it, and he provided some useful information and was posting links for further information and what he was talking about: an excellent habit.

So, I am currently looking into other videos and having someone not directly engaged, but talking from another perspective than a player is not by itself a waste of time or a bad idea. That you see some baits in the title is a bad habit you see flourishing frequently and has to do with the underlying models, but it is another topic.

I do not mind how he plays the game, the logic of one has to play professionally a game to be eligible for an opinion is disproven countless times, no need to even worry about it; being an athlete does not guarantee one is able to theorize about one’s own sport and only because someone is good at a game does not equal to being good at taking in the big picture. Of course, there are limits, but there is no need for elaborate hypotheses here.

Or to put it another way: I do not have to lie down in a deep fryer to understand and describe and talk about what happens to the fish stick inside.
