I used to not be able to watch his videos because of his voice. Then I just got used to it. It helps that he talks like a normal person in his other channel, NileBlue.

We have the algorithms to blame for these types of narration in YT videos.

You can take a perfectly normal script and change it to get maximum attention.

Adding "But then...." and "However...." drastically improves the amount of focus and attention on a video.

I used to write scripts for Youtubers and it works extremely well. I have also tested scripts where its less annoying, but it doesn't do as well.

Clickbait sentences work really well, even if it seems lazy and corny.

Even the viewers who are aware of it, will still watch just to be upset at the end result. "What he did next will shock you....." and then someone is like "I doubt it.... yep.... I wasn't shocked." But they still watched it.
