Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:18A dating-app user describes cutting off matches quickly over perceived red flags.
6:15A clip about eating alone brings the discussion to loneliness while single.
12:11A woman turning thirty reflects on expectations of having a family by that age.

32:13The hosts debate criticizing a date's weight in person versus online; Brandon recounts being catfished.

A dating-app red flag barely has time to appear before someone gets cut off. That opening clip gives Caleb Hammer and Brandon their starting point in "This Issue With Dating In 2026", the week's most-watched new upload on The Caleb Hammer Show.

The episode moves from quick rejections to unwanted hookups, eating alone and expectations about starting a family. Caleb calls dating apps hookup apps; later, the hosts debate the cruelty of criticizing a date's weight in person versus online. It is reaction commentary built around other people's social-media clips, with paid sponsor segments along the way.

Beneath it, some viewers move away from the hosts' judgments and describe their own dating dilemmas: fitting a relationship around work and school, wanting connection without rushing intimacy, or deciding whether to try again. One shares a happier counterpoint, describing meeting a husband on Bumble.

The channel posted sixteen uploads, including "The New Way Of Being Catfished" and a pair of tipping videos. The dating episode had a slightly larger first-day audience than "Exposing Ghetto Gold Diggers", though the newest episode, "The Woke NeoPronoun Problem", carries the strongest daily momentum now.

Subscribers continued growing, with about 4,000 added across the week, but that was a slower pace than the past month's average. Daily channel views are also well below their usual level. Even so, its weekly viewing puts it among the busier nearby channels: Stefano Narducci had a substantial week, while EntreLeadership was quieter.

What viewers say

I got lucky and met my (now) husband back on Bumble in 2021. Granted, I had to go through a year of swiping on guys that were either crappy/didn't want a relationship with me, but it all worked out. We got married in February this year ❤️

People need to learn how to be comfortable in their own company before they expect others to be comfortable with their company.
