Charlie Kirk?
🥁🥁💫
Oof, for me in my world, there have been so many unfortunately.
John Kuckian, Jaclyn Hill, Jeffree Star, and more recently Raw Beauty Kristi though she’s been in decline for a while.
Makeup Youtubers are something fucking else.
Austin jones is a pretty vile person. So I’d say him
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.
It’s pretty niche, but Mike Israetel of Renaissance Periodization is one of the biggest fitness youtubers who for years has thrown his phd around to become an authority on sports science. A critical review of his joke of a phd thesis was recently published and now it’s pure chaos in this sphere
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
I don’t know a single one of the YouTubers being mentioned here.
Why would you?
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:
Pirate software
What was he supposed to do? He was out of mana!
SkyDoesMinecraft was pretty bad, and it just kept. Getting. Worse.
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 strange moments came out, sank her whole brand.
takes out the ukalele Now friends, let’s sing a little song…
Recently? Either Iilluminaughtii or Karl Jobst.
Iilluminaughtii is a strong contender. Karl Jobst didn’t really do anything though, he lost a lawsuit and then kept streaming. Was there something else I didn’t know about?
I only counted Jobst for how quickly everyone turned on him after the lawsuit loss, so it’s purely for being a rapid downfall, Iiiluminaughtii is way worse.
Who turned on him? Maybe I am not extensively up on streamer drama.
It was because he framed the lawsuit leading up to it as if it was over Dumbass’s (I forgot his name) fraudulent records and not over defammatory statements about Dumbass’s response to some other gamer offing themselves or some such similar tangential issue.
I’ve forgotten all the details because I don’t care and I’m also drunk, but hopefully someone can clarify without making shit up. Though the core of it was that he was being sued over far more legitimate grounds than Dumbass’s provably false records. Hence why Karl lost.
I mean I didn’t think it was really legitimate grounds. This is just from memory, but I think the issue was that he called out Billy Mitchell for cheating being the foundation of basically his whole career, and then Billy sued him for some minor tangential bullshit mostly just totally unrelated to that. I think you are correct, Jobst accused Billy of laughing and being cheerful about some other streamer killing himself (which he definitely did) but also made some kind of minor factual error while talking about it, and Billy convinced a judge that that was worth multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damages. That was my understanding of it.
Edit: Mostly I think it’s weird to include him in this list because even by the most anti-Jobst reading all he did was slander Billy Mitchell. That seems kind of out of place on a list which currently includes people guilty of pedophilia (Miranda), mass plagiarism (Illuminaughti), and some sort of unholy systematic turbo-pedophilia which is hard to even summarize (Onision).
Also, I’m a little disturbed that I know the details of all of this weird pop-culture drama bullshit. Maybe the real streamer slop was inside us all the time.
Oh I agree it’s all BS and the literal fraud that is Billy should be in jail over being a LITERAL FRAUD, but such is life.
Yeah. Life is a fuck
His audience mostly.
Did they? I didn’t. IDK, I just looked at view counts on his recent videos and they’ve definitely gone down pretty substantially (which sure isn’t ideal) but it’s not a full cratering and then a year of silence like Illuminaughti.
Probably pewdiepie. He was very popular before the incident, after which noone wanted to touch him. His Scare Pewdiepie show also got canceled. He has regained popularity again though.
Now he’s a complete self hosted and Linux nerd, and it’s awsome!
What incident? People started sharing his videos because he’s cool now, I guess, I can’t even listen to his voice
In September 2017, while PewDiePie was live-streaming gameplay of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to his YouTube channel, he used the racial N-word towards another player in the game.
what ever happened to chills?
He died iirc
