I don’t know a single one of the YouTubers being mentioned here.
It’s so crazy that 10 million subscribers is huge by YouTube standards but practically meaningless in the larger context.
Oh thank goodness. Thought it was just me.
Youtube is pretty horrid now so I tend to stay away. Seems like its mostly made for ipad babies and boomers now.

Charlie Kirk?
I didn’t make it, and also do not use AI, but this is one I had to save.

Tolerance and respect for only those who agree with me
Get outta here fascist boot licker
Lmao proving my point in both comments exactly. Paradox of tolerance full on display. Disagreement = name calling, slurs, bigotry. Never once an actual argument, just name calling always.
Lil bro doesnt even understand what the paradox of tolerance is 🥲
James Somerton.
Basically got massively called out by Hbomberguy for plagiarism on every single video and I am pretty sure James just nuked the account and restarted his grift under an alt.
He did a lot in the aftermath. It’s worth reading basically the whole “rebranding and fake death” section:
Illuminaughtii was pretty wild.
JonTron said all that Great Replacement Theory racist shit but collab’d with Internet Historian on his B channel some time after. Haven’t followed him in a long time so I donno if his career suffered.
Onision is nuts in so many dark and strange ways that were completely predictable.
Among them all I’m so glad that Internet Comment Etiquette has always been my favorite. Eric is a good boy.
Edit: Erik with a K is a good boy.
there´s plenty of leads that make people think internet historian is not clean either. putting “1488” and “88” dogwhistles in his videos aswell as crudely drawn swastikas or stars of david in inconvenient places. he follows questionable far-right people on twitter and in the “bikelock fugitive” video he just goes with the 4chan story.
And not to mention they were one of the other receivers of Hbomberguy’s famous plagarism video.
that’s just a judgement on his content and doesn’t give insight on his probably far right political stance
Fair enough. I don’t seek out YouTube drama so I don’t know anything not sent my way, but the JonTron thing left a bad enough taste I stopped following him.
I had no idea about the other shit, but it kinda makes sense given the tone of his videos regarding SJWs, women, tumblr, etc.
good approach :) more peace of mind.
Who the hell is Eric? Did Erik get replaced for what he did to Narfy?
King of the Internet king of the pipe

Boogie2988
Not a vlogger, but CarlH was a respected reddit user who had a long and successful series of C programming lessons on youtube. I remember going through some of his videos back in the day.
He was arrested for abusing and exploiting his own son for child pornography, and later commited suicide in jail. I guess you can’t fall much harder.
One of the many reddit posts about the story: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/upkjb7/carl_h_once_made_a_following_for_himself_online/
The Completionist. Socials went private and any videos finished but unreleased had the artwork changed so it wasn’t obviously from the channel.
Some others that came to mind is ProJared with the sexts, but he eventually defended his side and continues to post new videos, and the controversy from the Nostalgia Critic group during the ChangeTheChannel campaign
Oof, watching The Completionist’s fall was an emotional rollercoaster. I liked the guy well enough and he seemed to be doing well right up until that unfortunate G4TV reboot.
Attached to the new G4TV was one Frosk, an e-sports commentator who was opinionated as all hell and boy, she would NOT let you forget it. Long story short, apropos of nothing, she had a spectacular meltdown on the channel and she did so by blaming fans for all kinds of things. The Completionist, along with all other members of the channel took a hit in subscribers on G$ and their respective channels simply through the virtue of being affiliated with Frosk. Not really their fault.
But THEN in 2023 it came to light that he was lying about donations to charity and really, that’s when I stopped following him completely. Kind of hard to defend that.
For sure. Boogie2988 has had a pretty spectacular fall as well.
Onision had a pretty spectacular implosion, but he was always a pretty wild and controversial figure. Shane Dawson was another pretty massive one. Miranda Sings was also huge, then all the weird and creepy chats and stage moments came out, sank her whole brand.
Not really “a” youtuber, but i thoroughly enjoyed watching roosterteeth crash and burn. I loved their goofy shit maybe 10 or 15 years ago, but goddamn the fame really went to their heads fast. Ray and Mikey and Jack were all mostly cool, but Geoff had this really toxic “failed jock” vibe that really put down everyone else for very little reason. Then you had straight up toxic narcissists join up over the years, then Ryan shitting the bed by trying to hook up with (possibly underage) fans. It all came crashing down hard. It started out as a fun group of gamers and quickly turned into this weird hazing/bullying/im more famous than you circlejerk.
Probably not the “biggest”, but remember Gus Johnson? Looked like a promising up-and-comer in the Internet comedy space, and then he got cancelled and effectively disappeared over night.
Haven’t heard that name in a long time. I do remember he was popping off quickly and then vanished. Think he still makes stuff though. His Podcast parter Eddy Burback ditched him and has since gotten more popular.
He’s still around making shorts, I’m not sure it’s really about him getting “cancelled” (which tbh was pretty light, he was pretty much “just” very inconsiderate towards his girlfriend)
It’s a tie between EDP445 and Onision.
Honorable mention goes to Illuminaughtii.
I don’t really keep up, but is that Dr. Disrespect guy still considered a pedo pariah?
He’s back streaming in YouTube, but I guess he’s not as popular anymore.
Laci green used to be a women’s health feminist youtuber. Made a video titled “i took the red pill” and immediately lost 90% of her views followed by the channel dying within 10 videos.
Toby Turner was pretty big in my eyes, but then there was some controversy of abuse or minors or something, I can’t remember. But he made me laugh so hard like not many YouTubers could, dude. His gameplay of that game with the dad on his bike with his kid in the back of the bike, my god. Those were the days.
Braille Skateboarding used to be so cool. They even made it to the news in Australia with the first glass skateboard video.
Last I heard was the park was destroyed WITHOUT telling the rest of crew it was happening, so they all missed out on a final session.
