Is Graydon getting too serious?

I feel like Graydon has completely given up when it comes to doing actual comedy on their main channel. I never took the jokes seriously, but I also feel like laughing almost means nothing now. Riley has even said at some points in the videos that he wants Graydon to tell a real joke. The bits have been getting unfunnier in my opinion, but sometimes I feel like I forget they’re even making a comedy video. I feel like if you watched each video of Hivemind you could probably see his passion for bits slowly dwindle over time.
