SAN FRANCISCO — After struggling to find their footing in the content creator landscape, a local YouTuber has seemed to have found their groove by condescendingly reading Wikipedia at the viewer, our sources confirm.
“After years of trying reaction content and unboxing videos, I finally found what my audience really wants from my channel – a patronizing summary of free information,” said Dylan Whitehead, known as ‘ThePrequelPreacher’ on YouTube. “The hardest part is getting ChatGPT to rewrite the Wikipedia articles from the POV of a privileged white guy with a superiority complex.”
The Gen Z content creator has gone mildly viral with his last two videos – “This is actually why Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars” and “You probably don’t understand the depth of Donnie Darko.”
“I usually hate when guys mansplain the intricacies of the Galactic Trade Federation, but for some reason, The Prequel Preacher’s combination of snobby tone and encyclopedic knowledge really works for me,” said one subscriber who argues with every comment that disagrees with the content of the video. “It reminds me of being lectured by a self-righteous librarian.”
This recent online validation has caused Whitehead’s persona to lean into arrogant know-it-all, when in reality, the 23 year old high school graduate hasn’t read a book in almost a decade.
“I gotta shout out my personal heroes, Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate. Those guys are trailblazers for narcissistic men on the internet who talk about things that they have no knowledge of for validation and attention,” said the self-proclaimed best video essayist on YouTube. “You can do it too! All you need is an obnoxious thumbnail, a rambling title, and the ego of an all knowing god on earth.”
At press time, fellow YouTube video essay creator, HBomberguy, has amassed a 10-hour takedown of the Prequel Preacher’s plagiarism.
