I have very strong memories circa ~2008 of this shirtless guy with crazy eyes and unkempt long hair in a dark room who would make at best tangentially related insane rambling video replies to basically every popular video, and he’d get a pretty high number of view’s just because it was so weird. I remember he had a white Blue Snowball mic and would use it almost as a prop…

His name is on the tip of my tongue but I just can’t get it. Cyber Jethro? That’s not it… but something in that vein

Don't worry. Give it a year or so and this feature will also be removed and all videos that used it silently delisted from search and recommendations.
