Alex Bale is probably the only SpongeBob theorist I actually enjoy watching (sadly he ended the series) but you could tell he put a lot of effort into the videos and they actually made sense.

This is something I have been noticing for a while. All these videos with a single png from the show, with a white background, black text, and the name "The Spongebob _____ Theory". They always made very little sense, and had no real point they were trying to make. Basically are just content farms. Edit: I wrote this comment while watching this video, and I remember watching the "Glove theory" video and thinking the same thing. Even the comments are flaming him.
Literally trying to scrape fame from that old Spongebob Theory ARG. Forgot who made it but THOSE were peak and filled with effort. My fav is the Mrs. Puff theory. I think Alex Bale is the guy.
Who was the name of the guy who did a video called "How Spongebob explores existential nihalism"? It was a video about SB-129. I remember the thumbnail having a white background with black text and a png of squidward from the episode. I remember that one being actually good, so I wonder if the spongetent farms stole that format from him Edit: Nevermind, he mentioned the guy (Karsten Runquist)

Encyclopedia SpongeBobia conveniently lists all the animation errors in every episode of the show, so making a channel around showcasing them is certainly not difficult, since all the hard work is already done.
Unfortunately this style of content exists within multiple fanbases. On the Pokemon side of TH-cam, entire careers have been made through what is essentially reading the Trivia section of Bublbapedia.

I swear on my underwear, if I hear about any more creepypasta or absurd theories that don't make sense, I'm going to take all the Spongetubers and shove them somewhere else.
Lots of people have been calling this out lately, like LS Mark. It's driving me crazy as well. Some of these channels at first seem legit, but then they get basic names wrong, like someone who recently talked about the Jimmy Timmy Power Hours, but kept messing up Cindy's name for instance.

@@Summercamp1sland Idk, my guess would be that he made that video as a fun project for himself and he didn’t want to be pressured into making more and more content.
The way things are going, AI is flooding content onto the internet in every category. Not to mention there are literal bots commenting on almost every video. Of course whoever is running the bots and AI channels have the goal of getting as many interactions as possible for monetary reasons and not "love" for the topics covered. Originality and personality are two things that will continue to suffer to a greater and greater extent as time goes on. The internet just sucks now

He might've disowned those videos a long time ago but Mobrosstudios was also one of those guys from the beginning. He even coined the infamous "Squidward torture porn" term that he later regrets.
TH-cam sadly doesn't give a crap about good content or originality just long form slop that keeps people on the website. I miss when it was about views rather than watch time and animators thrived. I get why from a business perspective but it sucks :/
@@AntSugar Try learning new languages. Legitimate advice. Not everyone has slop culture to that much of a degree. For example, Russian youtubers get almost 0 sponsors and no ad revenue. So their only source of income are donations. So they actually have to make content worth supporting.
I really like Alex Bale who made really well thought-out Spongebob theory videos, but had these life-action bits in them with an overarching plot where he had an eldritch creature living in his garage that gave him new theory ideas in exchange for...things. Don't want to spoil anything, but that whole playlist is extremely interesting and culminates in a in a surrealist horror movie called "Don't feed the muse" that's just...so good. I'm really glad that I watched it, Alex Bale is a talented film maker and has lots to say, can highly recommend it.
I saw these “spider will get you in a bed if you don’t like a video” in most of minecraft videos “for kids” in 2017. It’s just bad right from beginning
This dude right here is top tier. Been watching Awe for a while now and he's always got good takes and interesting content. Seeing someone blatantly steal his content irks the hell out of me. LSMark just recently had a video come out about those damn white background channels. Not to plug his videos in your comment section but it's definitely worth a watch. Keep up the good work Awe! I'll be looking forward to the next one!
It’s not just in the SpongeBob community. SO MANY channels I am seeing, covering different kinds of content are making these unappealing and annoying thumbnails. I love to click, Not Interested or Don’t Recommend Channel when I see them. No views for them unless it’s for leaving a dislike! Hope this trend ends soon.
What's wrong with that trend? If you click "not interested" it's enough. They're getting money, nobody is being affected for that. It can be annoying but you can just ignore the videos.
@@ElDiosMashiar It’s lazy and unappealing. Clicking “Not Interested” doesn’t mean anything when tons of commentary/theory channels use this same type of thumbnail style. Use whatever sort of excuse you want to use to defend them, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying.
See what i liked abt alex’s theories is he dis take into account spongebob not just being a cartoon but a way to teach kids abt marine life-his television theory even had him bring up nature documentaries to show how similar the narrator in spongebob is to the documentaries Plus the whole thing was also an arg , a rlly good one at that
The algorithm lead me to this video, and man I really feel kinda silly for falling for Mustard's videos and thinking they were quality of any kind.

My fave video was someone elses „spongebob color theory“ video. It was just explaining basic character design 101 and passing it as deep/dark fan theory
Idk man. Binging your channel made me buy DVDs of the first 4 seasons of Spongebob- I'd say that's a good sign your content is good. It reminds me why I love the show in the first place.
@@shaansingh6048 will be doing the exact same, season 9 has the last few episodes I remember airing on Tv after that I stopped watching SpongeBob till a few years ago so 1-9 are my glory days
I’m happy you and another channel i watch are talking about this, over the past few months these type of videos have flooded my fyp, despite me only watching one of these. It’s such low quality AI script content.
I miss Pieguy so much. I'm old so I was there when he first started making TH-cam videos at all. I was there when him and BentheLooney made rant videos in 2009. I'll always have a fondness for Pieguy he was always such cool guy. I hope he's happier wherever he is now.
I definitely understand why he stopped doing it though. There were signs that the show was improving around the mid-late 2010s, but things soon took a turn for the worse again. He saw the writing on the wall at that point and realized that the show was simply never going to be anything even remotely close to those first three or four seasons ever again, and to my understanding, the show's quality has basically stagnated ever since. If he had kept going, the series from that point on would have been an endless doomer onslaught of Scumbob after Scumbob with no hope of the show ever improving. When he began reviewing every episode in 2013, the show had at least improved somewhat since the pits that were seasons 6 and 7, and the bad episodes back then were at least _original_ if nothing else, so he at least had new things to say with each episode and was able to hold out hope that the quality of the writing might slowly continue to improve over time. These days, with the stagnation of the show's quality and the constant reuse of old plotlines, he would basically be giving the same criticisms over and over again with minimal variation and a prevailing flavor of doom as a result of the show making no effort to not completely suck.
I only just started the video but just wanted to pause it and thank ya for including how you got into your content and who inspired you. Enter and pieguy videos got me through college work ahhh I am old.
i wanted to make a video on this new trend of video of white background simplistic editing some time ago but seeing what's happening behind those channels and seeing LS Mark just covered it, I just thought "oh boy, it is happening."
I actually got baited into watching some of these a while back, the white thumbnail ones. Everything seemed so inflammatory as "theories" so I would click on it to listen while doing something else, the algorithm caught on and started to flood me with these, by the second video I noticed there were no theories and had to go press "don't recommend" so they leave my feed. AI slop sucks a lot, after that all spongebob content(besides awe) left my feed, not even alex bale appeared.
I've been seeing this with family guy channels too. There are a few that occasionally sneak their way onto my feed with the same blank white background with black text and a png of a character. All their channels only have videos that date back a few weeks or a couple months.
I've noticed this across YT as a whole. I really hate it because these ChatGPT churned scripts contain plenty of errors and the voices mispronounce things too. And the AI voice overs? Me with 1 hour sleep sounds more energetic than it does!
Egregious is a word, you’re good. You even used it right, it just means ridiculously bad or shocking. Also has an interesting etymology, where it underwent a reversal of meaning (there’s a linguistic term for it I can’t remember now) where it used to mean remarkably good, the exact opposite.
Update about “When”: I looked into his channel and talked to him, he said he tried to ask Awe for his permission to make a simpler video, but got no response. He made the mistake of doing it anyway and after watching this video he decided he was going to make original content, which he now does. For example, while his newest video about Patrick Star making money may have been done before, he actually made a unique script and has his own take on the theories. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for those ChatGPT TH-camrs… one of them made the same video about Patrick and left the ai script in (he didn’t even bother to get rid of the “intro” and “conclusion” parts lmfao). Please don’t send any hate to When, he just seems to be trying to make SpongeBob videos short and concise, while obviously making money as well. Maybe like his videos or something as he was a pleasure to talk to and he genuinely seems like a nice guy, his videos have changed a lot!
Regarding the clickbait, I hate YT's changes and updates for years. The only useful one has been where you can right-click and say "don't recommend channel." I had never used it before on principle, but it eventually became too much. Since then, anything with "clip", "react", "recap", a stupid face thumbnail, an arrow or a circle on the thumbnail, baiting titles, titles missing numbering (if part of a series), and so forth have just been instantly blocked. What one should realize is, YT has been around for over a decade, and although people try to destroy old internet, there will always be enough there to look at before the grift turned hard. Edit: let me, add, people who just read news (though this might be encompassed via "react", which is really just content theft), people who use AI, channels that are obviously AI generated as a whole, and perhaps some others.
it's so awesome how the series alex bale made specifically to satirize content farms by implying they are all part of a hivemind got so popular that people started making content farms based on it thus completely missing the point (as if they even watched it lol)
I feel like the only reason there is so much SpongeBob slop is because everyone know what SpongeBob is. So they can just release some AI recap and get tons of views. It’s a shame really.
It’s not even just SpongeBob TH-cam that is like this now I’ve noticed it way more with family guy first and now I’m starting to see some South Park ones but it’s mostly family guy and SpongeBob.
i find it bizzare that people started copy Alex Bale cause half the time when they steal the vids in whatever method they choose to they tend to forget Alex Bale is actively making an arg . like the point of the spongebob series for him is to be a parody of theorists both within and outside of his bigger community in just the right way that people who follow him closely can pick up on the arg jumping off points. feels very different from someone like say The Theorizier ( i think i spelled it right ) who is also parodying theory channels but in a way where its less about a bigger narrative and more him just having fun with the concept. like i can understand how the theories Bale makes can be seen as really good click bait but i dunno i just found it really ironic
10:13 I just realized that this Grapple guy is literally just a somehow worse version Calobi Productions. Who unsuprisingly, is youtuber who also makes slop content centered around animation errors in cartoons.
I mean, you have all the rights to do it. The best way is to just ✨🌈 be yourself 🌈✨ Just add something from you, like how did you feel about it, maybe what you used to think of the episode when you saw it for the first time as a kid and stuff. Say if you noticed any theme.
(Oh dear, the generic slop thumbnails(white voids with transparent PNGs of characters next to black text to be exact) There was Raymundo’s video discussing about that topic before he purposefully deletes it.)

When he began reviewing every episode in 2013, the show had at least improved somewhat since the pits that were seasons 6 and 7, and the bad episodes back then were at least _original_ if nothing else, so he at least had new things to say with each episode and was able to hold out hope that the quality of the writing might slowly continue to improve over time. These days, with the stagnation of the show's quality and the constant reuse of old plotlines, he would basically be giving the same criticisms over and over again with minimal variation and a prevailing flavor of doom as a result of the show making no effort to not completely suck.
I only just started the video but just wanted to pause it and thank ya for including how you got into your content and who inspired you. Enter and pieguy videos got me through college work ahhh I am old.
1:44 eyyy, Phantomstrider
My God, the Slopbob pipeline…..
Grapple is basically the Perplexify of SpongeBob content.
i wanted to make a video on this new trend of video of white background simplistic editing some time ago but seeing what's happening behind those channels and seeing LS Mark just covered it, I just thought "oh boy, it is happening."
Mustardpregnancy brought me to your channel by proxy so that's something good. Other than that, yeaaaah I can't defend him
I think I found him cause of Matt Neff, whose content I enjoy. He does all those Arthur videos. But yeah, I can't defend him either.
Not only am I learning sponge tube exists, but there's beef in the community.
Hm, I wonder whose video that is at 0:14?
Which one
@@kvasonn467third one on the bottom row
Ayyy you got featured!
I actually got baited into watching some of these a while back, the white thumbnail ones.
Everything seemed so inflammatory as "theories" so I would click on it to listen while doing something else, the algorithm caught on and started to flood me with these, by the second video I noticed there were no theories and had to go press "don't recommend" so they leave my feed.
AI slop sucks a lot, after that all spongebob content(besides awe) left my feed, not even alex bale appeared.
I’m glad you said this because I was thinking the exact same thing
I've been seeing this with family guy channels too.
There are a few that occasionally sneak their way onto my feed with the same blank white background with black text and a png of a character. All their channels only have videos that date back a few weeks or a couple months.
prob they make the vids and put them on multiple channels so they dont get copyrighted
Love your content brother
I've noticed this across YT as a whole. I really hate it because these ChatGPT churned scripts contain plenty of errors and the voices mispronounce things too. And the AI voice overs? Me with 1 hour sleep sounds more energetic than it does!
“SpongeBob drama is crazy”
outro music sucked so bad my internet couldn't take it anymore (this is not hate, plz keep up your content, this is great stuff)
Theres a lot of slop content out there, but you are an amazing creator. I love watching your content
i REALLY dont like that mustard pregnancy guy. i just dont.
Ain’t no way the fish OC talkin.
I didn’t realize the mustard dude is AI. Thanks for pointing that out
Egregious is a word, you’re good. You even used it right, it just means ridiculously bad or shocking.
Also has an interesting etymology, where it underwent a reversal of meaning (there’s a linguistic term for it I can’t remember now) where it used to mean remarkably good, the exact opposite.
Update about “When”: I looked into his channel and talked to him, he said he tried to ask Awe for his permission to make a simpler video, but got no response. He made the mistake of doing it anyway and after watching this video he decided he was going to make original content, which he now does. For example, while his newest video about Patrick Star making money may have been done before, he actually made a unique script and has his own take on the theories. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for those ChatGPT TH-camrs… one of them made the same video about Patrick and left the ai script in (he didn’t even bother to get rid of the “intro” and “conclusion” parts lmfao). Please don’t send any hate to When, he just seems to be trying to make SpongeBob videos short and concise, while obviously making money as well. Maybe like his videos or something as he was a pleasure to talk to and he genuinely seems like a nice guy, his videos have changed a lot!
Let’s not forget the absolute masterpiece that is “Squidward Tentacles, the perfect antagonist”
Regarding the clickbait, I hate YT's changes and updates for years. The only useful one has been where you can right-click and say "don't recommend channel." I had never used it before on principle, but it eventually became too much.
Since then, anything with "clip", "react", "recap", a stupid face thumbnail, an arrow or a circle on the thumbnail, baiting titles, titles missing numbering (if part of a series), and so forth have just been instantly blocked.
What one should realize is, YT has been around for over a decade, and although people try to destroy old internet, there will always be enough there to look at before the grift turned hard.
Edit: let me, add, people who just read news (though this might be encompassed via "react", which is really just content theft), people who use AI, channels that are obviously AI generated as a whole, and perhaps some others.
I think it's *technically* transformative, but barely.
5:54 But I love spiders. They can crawl in my ear if they want, cozy little cave for them to hide in °8OwO8°
Also, they're the only thing controlling the mosquito population
i genuinely despise spongebob rabbit holes
i’ve been down way less than the average fan and they’ve already destroyed me mentally
it's so awesome how the series alex bale made specifically to satirize content farms by implying they are all part of a hivemind got so popular that people started making content farms based on it thus completely missing the point (as if they even watched it lol)
Me when the security system takes control of Squidward's house:
I still can't remember how graveyard shift starts
i swear i don’t even watch spongebob anymore but i still keep seeing spongebob content
I feel like the only reason there is so much SpongeBob slop is because everyone know what SpongeBob is. So they can just release some AI recap and get tons of views. It’s a shame really.
Damn your channel anniversary is on my birthday lol
I need the Squidward Terrorists Theory
I do love Spongebob house, which name is pineapple.
It’s not even just SpongeBob TH-cam that is like this now I’ve noticed it way more with family guy first and now I’m starting to see some South Park ones but it’s mostly family guy and SpongeBob.
times spongebob youtubers deserved to go to jail
i find it bizzare that people started copy Alex Bale cause half the time when they steal the vids in whatever method they choose to they tend to forget Alex Bale is actively making an arg . like the point of the spongebob series for him is to be a parody of theorists both within and outside of his bigger community in just the right way that people who follow him closely can pick up on the arg jumping off points.
feels very different from someone like say The Theorizier ( i think i spelled it right ) who is also parodying theory channels but in a way where its less about a bigger narrative and more him just having fun with the concept.
like i can understand how the theories Bale makes can be seen as really good click bait but i dunno i just found it really ironic
spongetuber is the new funniest term ive heard this year, kudos to that
alex bale should copyright claim all of the clones. for the better of the spongetube environment.
Please make the Squidward terrorist theory into a real video for April fools.
lol that's so funny I followed your ren and stimpy account a couple months ago, I knew your voice was familiar
“Entire story of SpongeBob” it’s episodic, there is no overarching story, and even if it was, it’s still going.
YES and those videos are for EVERYTHING and you don't know how much I HATE those videos *gaghagagagg*
I feel like those are symptoms of TH-cam eating up lore videos that people are just trying to get in on this. It’s interesting to say the least lol
@@stevensilver2880 oh no, absolutely, there’s no contesting that
10:13 I just realized that this Grapple guy is literally just a somehow worse version Calobi Productions. Who unsuprisingly, is youtuber who also makes slop content centered around animation errors in cartoons.
I wanna start doing Spongebob content, but not like following what everyone does. I just wanna do summaries of episodes. But like... Think Max0r.
I mean, you have all the rights to do it. The best way is to just ✨🌈 be yourself 🌈✨
Just add something from you, like how did you feel about it, maybe what you used to think of the episode when you saw it for the first time as a kid and stuff. Say if you noticed any theme.
Eagerly awaiting The Awe ___ Theory narrated by ChatGPT
(Oh dear, the generic slop thumbnails(white voids with transparent PNGs of characters next to black text to be exact) There was Raymundo’s video discussing about that topic before he purposefully deletes it.)
Awe and yunglame are my favorite SpongeBob related content creators
