Chucke2008
I think was the channel name. He showed welding and fabrication, one day he was reading something weird on video Idk and got canceled.
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.
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.
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.
Charlie Kirk?
I didn't make it, and also do not use AI, but this is one I had to save.
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.
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)
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.
I don't know a single one of the YouTubers being mentioned here.
The only ones I recognize were from the hbomberguy video
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.
It's so crazy that 10 million subscribers is huge by YouTube standards but practically meaningless in the larger context.
Boogie2988
Is that the fat video game nerd?
Yes but his weight and health has improved a lot
I was never a fan, but I did a search in him about a year lord and good lord he's a mess.
Without looking it up: did he become his stereotype shitty gamer character?
Arguably worse. Tl;dw he chooses to live like he'll die at any moment, i.e. spends all his money on dumb things, but then complains about not having money and his audience not giving him enough. He also abused his wife until she left him, then started dating a 20 year old (hes in his mid 50s as a reminder). Oh he also completely reversed course on his nice moderate guy persona.
I used to watch him because he made wholesome videos. Then the mask started slipping around the time he bought a Tesla. The documentary about him is pretty rough.
It's a tie between EDP445 and Onision.
Honorable mention goes to Illuminaughtii.
Can’t mention illuminaughty or whatever without mentioning James Somerton.
My more bespoke pick would be Tobuscus
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.
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.
Who the hell is Eric? Did Erik get replaced for what he did to Narfy?
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.
Illuminaughti and Iskall85
Iskall85 was getting insufferable long before the allegations tbh. He handled valid critique in the most arrogant way possible.
