The popular streamer was reacting to the latest Apex Legends trailer when he paused the video to explain the issue he has with how mainstream projects are being marketed.
“Okay, no offense to Respawn. This is not directly to Respawn 0r Apex in general. It’s more of a response to the bigger people up at the top in terms of how we are marketing f**king products in mainstream media,” he said.
The star then hit out at trailers starting to feel the same. “Whether it’s music, movies, video games… Everything feels the exact same, man! It’s so vanilla out there. It’s repetitive!” Slamming his hand on his desk, he exclaimed, “That’s why I want to start a production company that will f**king take things to the f**king next level!”
Doc then hilariously gave his description of modern marketing. “Here comes the rap music. It’s very generic. Sliding around montage. SICK! We’ve been seeing for twenty years. It’s the same s**t. IT REALLY IS!” he yelled.

As for how he would do marketing, the streamer explained, “I want to take people through a goddamn journey, man! We’re talking about the most popular industry in the world – video games. And it’s interactive. The online stuff. I feel like we can be taking these and showcasing these type of trailers to the next level.”
