You said yourself. He is loud. He is goofy. His reviews are mostly nitpicks. It sounds like you know exactly why he gets the hate he sometimes gets. "Lightweight comedy" as you put it might be your cup of tea, but some of us really dont like that.
He's been consistent over the years, expanding from 10 minute videos to fully fledged analysis videos and some sketches with extra characters for good measure.
The first few seasons weren't bad at all but after a while he "got too big" and kind of ran out of funnily bad material. Also I never liked those permanent actors around him.
He was good at a point. The failure of Demo Reel leading to him adding tons of terrible sketches pretttich ruined Nostelgia Critic along with all the awfulness related to Channel Awesome just makes him not palatable.
I overall like the format of their movie reviews and like the characters that they plan on them. I get that Doug Walker has been an asshole in the past and might still be but idk. A lot of people in the entertainment industry are major Assholes so I wasn't even surprised when all that came out. At the end of the day, I'll watch a review of theirs here and there and I usually enjoy it but it's not like my favorite channel or even one I watch all the time

I can't stand his videos anymore - But I have watched hours of them and I can imagine having a blast talking to him, seems like a genuinely good guy.
Channel Awesome fell apart because he and the others running it didnt respect the workers and were olay with sexual harassment and sexism
If I want a movie review, I don't sit through a 20 minute poorly made skit with poop poop fart fart jokes, I watch a normal ass movie review

The problem is that he's so SHRILL. Like nails on a chalkboard. Typical when true nerds get loud, I can't deal w that.
I miss his "I'm acting!" imitation.

I don't know who that is, but Lindsay Ellis is the best YouTuber of all time.
She's awesome. I'd also recommend Jenny Nicholson who I feel scratches a very similar itch
no she isn't. she makes really boring videos and she has the most centrist politics of all time
Her videos are media criticism. She doesn't do politics.
media criticism is inherently political imo
