He stopped being himself to attract a larger, younger, more annoying fan base. He lost his funny attitude and convinced ASFJerome to do the same. The whole "Benja & Bacca" thing is really stupid. I know I'm going to get a lot of 8-12 year old trolls posting "In Benja we Trust" or some other catchphrase on here but whatever I don't care I'm posting it anyways. What happened to him!? How did his channel go from top notch gaming to exclusively minecraft (Don't get me wrong I like Minecraft but variety is important.) And why did his humor change and become so badly self-censored. As far as I know he had no reason to other than annoying comments saying "OMGGGEEE! GO PG NO SWEARRRING!!" Posted by people who aren't old enough to own a YouTube account. That's not just my opinion, in the YouTube T&A it says you have to be 14 or older to own a YouTube account. Yeah, I know nobody really follows that rule but still, you can't complain about somebody's videos being "Child Un-friendly" because YouTube is a Child Un-friendly site.
And for all the trolling fanboys who I'm sure are going to post "If you don't like it don't watch it" the average excuse of 10 year old fanboys, Awesomesaucefilms (His old channel for the 10 year olds who bandwagon on his channel and don't even know what ASF stands for,) was by far my favorite channel, and I had to watch it disappear only to be replaced by this "Child Friendly" BS that is unfunny and boring in the first place. And BTW, Skydoesminigames and Deadcox are no better, actually probably worse.
Not hating, well, maybe a little, but I just have no idea what happened to him.

I agree about 90% with you. Their channels are still entertaining, but do lack the un-PG based humor they once had. I bet what happened was this:
*Little Bobby, age eight, is watching a BajanCanadian video at the computer with the sound turned up high. Just as BajanCanadian is making a "that's what she said" joke or making some other sexual reference, Bobby's mother walks in and is horrified at what she is hearing.
Mother: "Bobby, what kind of video are you watching?!"
Bobby: "Oh, it's just a BajanCanadian video. He does Minecraft videos."
Mother: "Well, until he starts making some more family-friendly videos, I FORBID you to watch anything made by him!"
Bobby: "But, but....MOM!"
Mother: "That is final."
Bobby then proceeds to type an angry comment on BajanCanadian's channel, that says something along the lines of: "this channel is too inappropriate. stop swearing!"*
That's probably what happened in many other households. Eventually, BajanCanadian and the others realized that they were probably losing viewers and therefore losing money, so they decided to listen to those 8-year-olds and clean up their channel.
But what I don't understand is, I don't see anyone complaining about ZexyZek or CaptainSparklez, even though both of them very rarely swear, keeping their channels completely PG but still pleasing their viewers.
Whatever. Life is confusing.

He did it to be another popular youtuber and to attract a wider audience

I think I'm now going to make a fanfiction called, Legacy of Bobby.
In my opinion, there are only two types of Youtubers.
People like BajanCanadian who draw huge crowds of kids, swear all the time and don't really know very much about the game.
And then there are people like Etho, paulsoaresjr, Zisteau and Sethbling who really know the ins and outs of Minecraft. The play the game maturely and IMHO they deserve way more subs than they get.
Minecraft's chief demographic is children. Marketing your product to the appropriate demographic is just good business. Selling out sucks, but it's routinely profitable.

I'm glad to see the for the most part intelligent responses. Pleasant surprise!

Meh, I don't know, I don't exactly watch BajanCanadian so I wouldn't know. I just stick with Sethbling and Etho. Now those are two youtubers who deserve 2,000,000+ subs.
I agree with you I like those two, I also like bajans old content. It was actually funny and I'm sobsad that humor is gone.

The main reason I have never watched Bajan was because of the whole "Team Crafted and Seto" incident... I know that's over and its kinda off limits to talk about it but, Seto said in the video saying it was over with that SKY, DEADLOX, AND HIM were in the Skype call. But who was the one that kicked him? BAJAN. I legit loved Seto's videos, and the kick was a reason for me to like him more. I am also very tired of going on sites for fanfiction, and seeing half of the stories being about the author's character and Mitch being in love... >:/
It is all for money. There is a higher child to teen ratio on YouTube. Therefore, he changed to get more views from children, which in-turn, gets him more views and more money.

This and what others said sum it up perfectly. Many YouTube video makers are in it for the money and change on a dime based on what viewers they get.

The thing I don't understand is how is Cursing and Sexual Innuendos gonna get someone for the kids?
It happens a lot. One of the best examples, in my personal experience, is Seananners. Check out his first videos and his most recent ones. He made CoD commentaries for years, then moved on to Garry's Mod and the rest of that batch. Nothing against him, I understand. It's what he enjoys doing, it's what the community at large seems to enjoy watching, and it does not take nearly as long to record as a commentary. Sure I was salty for a while but I just took my views and likes elsewhere.
His sense of humor and appeal have changed to suit where the majority of the community was and his interests.
This thread is stupid. I hate Bajan, so I don't watch him. There are lot of 5-11 year olds in the world who probably like....lets just say teenage mutant ninja turtles. However teenage mutant ninja turtles doesn't really appeal to 13-18 year olds. Does that mean that the makers of the show sold out, because they made a TV show for this demographic, knowing most people who watch TV are kids. (teens being on internet and with friends, and adults having responsibilities) Not at all. The owner of Ford. Do you think he works on cars, designs anything, talks to customers?? NO! I suppose that makes him a horrible person for doing his job? Bajan wouldn't be able to pay his bills unless he made the money he made. If anything hes pleasing children, and isn't the happiness of a child enough for you. You (and I) stick to Sethbling, and let the 8 year olds stick to team crafted.
And for all the trolling fanboys who I'm sure are going to post "If you don't like it don't watch it" the average excuse of 10 year old fanboys, Awesomesaucefilms (His old channel for the 10 year olds who bandwagon on his channel and don't even know what ASF stands for,) was by far my favorite channel, and I had to watch it disappear only to be replaced by this "Child Friendly" BS that is unfunny and boring in the first place.

I'm back
you would be surprised.... most 5 year olds play GTA... they find it "amusing" when they do not understand the jokes...
