I’m sure he makes interesting videos.. but I simply cannot watch/listen to them due to the voice sounding like the microphone was inside his mouth. The German language/accent has a lot of ‘plosives’ eg compare to Samoan language where soft vowells dominate.. but like ASMR videos, overly close micing just sounds gross to me. Whispered close mic’d dialogue is like attempted intimacy but what motive is there for sticking the fckng mic to your lip, so we hear every bit of saliva in your mouth?
Back off the mic! Buy a pop filter! If noise is an issue get a better preamp, quieter room etc…
Let me know if he ever improves… I won’t be listening.

such a lovely aesthetic
