Ali-A Has Fallen Toward Irrelevancy (Fortnite)

Fortnite wouldn't be the same without Ali-A, but one thing is for certain - There hasn't seemed to be a more controversial figure in the KZbin Gaming Community. Is he hated because his Fortnite Battle Royale videos simply get more views than everyone else? Is it because of his inauthentic persona? The clickbait? This video will cover Ali-A's downfall / rise and fall / drop in viewership over the last two years. Will he end up as an irrelevant creator?

[@NoirMC187]

The persona shift is extremely accurate. I used to watch Ali A as a kid back in 2011 when he was covering the black ops series. He was always very calm and collected when he spoke and even when he was genuinely excited there was still the aire of composure and professionalism- like he's talking to adults and teenager. I hadn't watched him since 2014 but after hearing clips of his new video, the shift is jarring. He's speaking like his audience are 7-12. Now he's mimicking the intros of most weird KZbinrs like "heyeverybody Whaaaaaaats GOinG oN???"

I don’t watch Ali, but I do watch his wife’s channel! She’s super wholesome, and I absolutely love her content. She also streams on twitch. Although I do actually like Ali as a person, because when I see him on her channel, he’s just so loving towards her and funny; they really seem to bring the best out of each other. I don’t really like watching any of his videos though, because it really just seems like he’s putting on a front there, as opposed to when he’s with Clare (his wife) She’s also so insanely genuine, and her fan base is honestly one of the best and most wholesome ones out there, which means that when he appears in her videos, we’re not expecting him to be this over-hyper clickbaity KZbinr, but the loving husband of our favorite content creator which I think makes it a lot easier for him to be more himself. Although unfortunately, he’s the one who has created a channel in which he can’t be genuine anymore, and that’s pretty sad :(

clickbait is the very unfortunate downside of youtube culture now days. Making something more clickable is understandable but when thumbnails are straight up lying that's when it's too far imo. Every single Fortnite creator is at an all time low right now and gaming in general is just super stale. on top of that, tiktok is dominating young audience attention spans which takes away from youtube video views. same with shorts and reels.

After like black ops 3 I got really tired about all the jetpacks and stopped playing cod and in turn stopped watching ali-a. I am now 20 years old and I despise him for his clickbait and misleading content, he used to have my respect for being so active in the cod scene but all that respect is gone nowadays of course.

Myself, I stopped watching him shortly after AW because that's when I started to lose interest in CoD and started branching out into new game genres. I'd always peak in every now and again to see what's up but ever since he became the cringe lord we all know and hate, I never looked at his channel again. Only once did I peak at his channel to see if it was true that he was clickbaiting now. Whenever I get into a conversation about Ali A with people, I won't even bring up the fact that I used to be a fan of his back in the early 2010's because I'm THAT embarrassed about it. Now that's saying something on how far you've fallen, when even your own old fans won't even admit to being an old fan of yours. RIP Ali A.

The most basic way I can describe his downfall and why I stopped watching is: He stopped being himself, and he chased views/money. I understand views/money are important in the endgame...but there are good and bad ways to obtain that. He also felt more of himself back in the COD days. I'm mixed on saying he betrayed the COD player base (which I'd consider myself a part of), since if he found a new game that he enjoys more, and gets more views...why not? But I do also see where people are coming from when they feel betrayed. Again...I'm mixed on the matter. But also, on the topic of being himself...he seemed to show anger, rage, sadness, hype, and all sorts of emotions back then and seemed like a guy who was ACTUALLY happy to do what he's doing, but now...he feels like a family-friendly robot. Last but not least...he's still doing really bad clickbait TO THIS DAY. Very sad since his old videos are great, and hell...I still watch his old content/videos.

I used to watch his videos back during the MW2 era and stopped near the end of Black Ops 2. I still remember the first video when he did a face reveal. I enjoyed watching his videos, especially the zombie eastereggs during BO1 and BO2. It's sad to see a KZbinr that I once enjoyed watching is now willing to go so low for clicks.

@@Tvtardy Im talking about the MW2 to BO2 times. He puts out completely different content now obviously. What Im saying, is that he is completely different from what he used to be. He wasn't over the top, click baiting person that tried to get children to view his videos. He used to be a serious Call of Duty KZbinr. Im not saying that he should go back to COD, what I'm saying is that he as a person/KZbinr, is completely different from what he used to be. Back then, he used to put out quality content, now he is just trying to get children to click on his videos so that he gets money.

I used to watch Ali-A when he would go out and play Pokémon GO. Cant believe he came out like this in recent times.

[@xBrainZy]

Sheesh you guys are so new I watched him when he was uploading MW3 videos back in 2011-12

[@trentonhryndej8205]

I used to love watching Ali-A back when I was just becoming a teenager in 2012-2013 cause I wasn't allowed to play COD but I liked it so much! I would play vicariously through watching his videos on my little nook HD tablet and it would give me so much happiness in the times that were really rough for me as a kid. I really stopped watching Ali-A around 2017 when he switched to fortnite and I turned 18 and moved out of my parents house and really got to play the games I wanted when I wanted. Now I'm 22; married with a baby boy. I rarely ever play video games anymore and if I do it's old COD to relive the good times. I check in on Ali-As channel every now and then and seeing how he's getting married and now having a kid around the same time I did is really cool; but I still can't stand his thumbnails anymore!

[@hypershadic1015]

Last time i watched one of his videos was 2015 when he played advanced warfare and black ops 3. I honestly forgot about him until recently. But it looks like i haven't missed anything about his channel. Since i stopped watching youtubers that started playing fortnite in 2017/2018

[@thecowboybob]

9:30 right on the money. I’m ashamed to say that even though I’d heard of him, I hadn’t watched any of his videos until 4 months ago. One night (despite the fact that I had homework), I spent the entire night watching his vids because seeing one had already gotten me hooked

Still remember back in school when a mate of mine watched his videos and would tell me about them, every now and then we'd watch one together for CoD related updates etc. Can't remember exactly when, but we both started making fun of him because of the clickbait and the way he would do his intros, and we stopped taking him seriously. Such a shame, he used to be a decent and fairly entertaining source of information then became a clickbaiting flog.

[@yungtommybeats3226]

I started to watching him when he played COD BO2 zombies. I saw almost all the walkthrough of COD campaign. Watching him playing COD Multiplayer and seeing him barely die in every match was amazing. I was really happy and enjoyed watching him play. When he moved to Fortnite i knew he just did it for trends and i don't blame him, but the problem was the clickbait and the thumbnails. Damn i miss these good old days

[@kitetenjogalladeknighttosh8863]

[@coolbrotherf127]

I did enjoy Ali-A's old CoD videos back in the early days. He was fun to watch and pleasant. Although I stopped playing CoD around 2015 and I didn't think about him till I heard about his rise as a Fortnite channel and hated how stupid his manipulative his videos were. He deserves nothing.

I just recently went back and watched a lot of his older COD vids. Used to love watching them back in the day to be honest. As soon as he transitioned to fortnite is when I stopped watching him completely. Absolutely no interest in these battle royal games, but COD has fallen off as well in terms of the newer titles so I cant really blame him as he is a full time youtuber. I just wish I could go back to 2008-2013 to relive the glory days.

Fun fact: AliA had a tv show on cbbc (a kids TV channel in the UK). Basically what happened in it was that kids would give their parents cars to the ‘team’ and they would be customised/repaired. Idk how it did but i enjoyed it while it was on. This was around when he blew up with fortnite and everyone still liked him. As far as I know, there was only one series of the tv show and I’ve never seen anyone talk about it. So yeah there you go.
