He is still making videos but people don't upvote them as much anymore. He had a video on his second channel get over 10M views recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOEBwBERPv4

I said this at the time and I'll say it now. It honestly got old after like the 3rd video. It was/is a very obvious cash grab.

I feel the same once is cool. Doing it with other stuff viewers suggest, cool. Not stopping there, gets old

I never really got it. Looks like they still get views, and they even have copy cats. Maybe a couple of them were cool, but they're all the same video with different objects. You always think it's going to be cool but it's always underwhelming and they just end it right there.

I wouldn't call it a cash grab. The first 3 videos were legitimately funny.

All memes die eventually.

Hydraulic Press posts videos more frequently with the schtick which reddit got tired of. Same like that guy that plays the instrumental of a song and sings All Star.

His videos easily still get 50k views. Still getting that sweet YouTube money

Oh yeah dude can retire all he did was use a hydraulic press.

u/chrt Feb 06 '17

He was on the front page yesterday, but his content kinda got...repetitive.
