They would be less common if we weren't addicted to observing drama and sensationalism, and all those clicks went toward nature videos or something wholesome and of value.
More broadly put, people are addicted to any form of emotional tension, even if it's low vibe.
It's too bad that the geek/enthusiast community has largely become complaint/rant vlogs because it gets more of a following than discussion of content/lore itself.
But that's why I like SWT, he's not nearly as bad as others. Other posters made a way bigger fuss. It's odd that they took far more offence to it than the person supposedly "targeted".

This isn't some new thing. People have been watching soap operas since there was TVs. Even before that live theatre was largely just melo-drama. Shakespeare is basically just adding melodrama to historical epics.
I quite like SWT too. I really don't see a problem with him getting emotional, even if he is exaggerating a bit for the camera. The beauty part about YouTube is that if you see something you don't like, you can just stop watching it and watch one of the millions of other videos out there. This isn't like the old days, where you have X amount channels to watch on a set schedule.
