However, much of the internet is written and not spoken. So we gets new ways to write (doge, memes, 4chan green text, etc.) but not really new accents.

I've really grown to hate this intro, plus the whole "bouncy" style of pronunciation. To me, it sounds a lot like "I'm trying too hard to get attention", like that of a 2 year old repeating "dad. dad. DAD."

Remember to end the video with: "Leave your comments down below, and don't forget to like and subscribe!"
"AND smash that bell icon!"
Nice links, I would have never thought of it that way. I've also noticed a certain way of speaking that seems really popular in the "video essay" crowd. For example if you search for 5-15 min videos analyzing a movie, they almost all speak exactly the same way.
