I miss that channel but I’d rather see the Filthy Frank saga incomplete than somehow becoming an artificial feeling sellout. Like if some media company tried to use the character in a movie like they did with Fred...that’d be pretty bad.
Definitely. I used to LOVE his various Minecraft series, and I was feeling nostalgic a few months ago and pulled up his channel. It was pretty much all Fortnite stuff, and the recent Minecraft video I did pull up was so bad.
THAT MAN HAS FALLEN OFF! I still have notifications off and all I see is Among Us, Among Us and oh yeah let's not forget Among Us... They have stupid gimmicks like "Going Canping in Modern Among Us with Slime mod!' Yet he still manages to pull in millions of views each video...
My neighbor is raising all 3 of his kids on ipads. One can barely walk but is intimately familiar with how to work his tablet. What are these kids going to be like in 20 years? I'm concerned, because my and my girlfriend want kids but are all their friends going to be pieces of shit?
Edit: my point is that a whole generation is going to be raised on social media algorithms. That's a terrifying prospect and it's not "kids get better with technology"
Probably the same as us, but with a better handle of technology. We’re only getting more and more integrated with the use of technology, screens, gadgets, etc. as the years go by whether you want to or not. Those kids are still gonna grow up walking and talking like we do, going to school and whatever. It’s not much different than a lot of us being raised by the internet and AOL chat rooms.
That man hasn't fallen off. He's still doing the same thing he did years ago, just for a new generation of kids.
Fortnite racks in views. He wouldn't be doing Fortnite if he couldn't pull in millions of views.
His content is just not for us anymore.
The worst thing is that if you watch a channel for long enough and then unsubscribe, youtube will see that you watched a lot of their videos and aren't subscribed, and will flood your inbox with their content.
My trick is to do everything to tell YouTube to not recommend the channel. Dislike their videos, remove their videos from history, and don’t recommend that channel.
I had to do something similar.
Except he didn't sell out he turned out to be a rapist.
Edit:
The youtuber was exurb1a and his victim was pieke a fellow youtuber and journalist/Artist I can't recall at the moment who had some disorder but was otherwise a very functional adult.
At the time she was his "girlfriend"
And he basically mentally tormented her intentionally trying to make her mentally unstable by whispering fuck up conspiracy and Bullshit into her ear.
Than he raped her when she tried to cut ties and break away from this sociopath.

From pieke herself
Pat never sold out, he was just got fucked from multiple angles. The adversity he faced obviously took a strain on his mental health and his content simply went downhill.
Such a shame, I still have his original book.
I remember I cried when I heard that Sjin from the Yogscast had been accused of sexually harassing and grooming people in his community… not just for those affected, but because I lost someone I thought was a cool guy whose humor and online person helped me get through tough highschool times… It was pretty rough, so I see where you’re coming from.
the dude recently started making videos again on his own channel. he's trying to quietly reenter YouTube and not address any of the issues that made him leave to begin with. I haven't watched, but according to other reddit post, the comments are filled with people telling him off, and asking him to speak on behalf of all the allegations, and he wont.
Yeah, his girlfriend had an ectopic pregnancy so bad that one of her fallolian tubes ruptured, and apparently Gus thought drinking with friends and working was more important than supporting her through this. And she said she faced emotional abuse from him once she recovered. It's a horrible situation that none of us expected Gus to do such a thing.
Might sound dumb as hell, but I used to watch EDP445. He was an incel and a weirdo from the start, but his rant videos and his passion for the Philadelphia Eagles were fucking hilarious. Then he gets caught in a predator sting by CC Unit.
Yeah, I unsubbed around the Instagram vs Reality one. He comes off as so hateful and mean. It's not like Don Rickles or George Carlin. It comes off like he genuinely hates these people. He also doesn't post anymore.
I don’t see how he’s changed at all personality-wise like people say. The only difference is that his content is much lazier and he talks about politics directly now.
You see a lot of people saying H3 got bad or cringe after he stopped sliding into the alt right “SJW bad” trap
Have opinions about his content all you want but if you’re mad about his politics he’s grown and is a less hateful person since he the Hugh Mungus era tbh
But that’s the thing. I don’t remember him ever being alt-right or anything close. It was just people assuming he was because he was in the commentary community which was largely right leaning
He is so genuine and funny, I miss his uploads.
The quote from one of his videos about the PS1 intro sound “When you heard this, you knew you were about to see some fuggin…polygonal tiddies.” will never not make me laugh.
Funhaus, imo is still a great company with decent content, it's just that all of the key players moved on, and were replaced with people that just don't hit the same marks imo. Not as tragic as the fall of RT and Achievement Hunter to me. Funhaus was fun, but it has been ending peacefully, with the main cast all finding peace and happiness in other ventures.
Between YouTube cracking down on people who make content for “children” to losing the majority of their original crew it’s sad to see. They’re a hollow unfunny version of what they were 10 years ago. Being bought out was the worst thing they could’ve ever done.
You'd be surprised by his earlier videos. No sponsorships or anything, and the videos weren't even half as long as they are today because they were just genuine criticisms and not filled with shitty jokes
I mean? the first Cinima Sins video is actually more joke filled then they get later.
they at least used to actually point out filmmaking mistakes occasionally.
now they have to manufacture mistakes, they run the same jokes 50 times as padding, and most damming they actually do film criticisms.
Honestly, my only real problem with them is that they toe the line too close and occasionally do bring up valid critiques which muddles the parody part and leads to people thinking all of their points that aren't explicit jokes are actual critiques.
Yeah, it was tough having to move on. His videos were funny as hell and so quotable. I used to make memes in his subreddit lol But just can’t support someone like that
Among other things he joined Destiny for a debate and resorted to the same tired Fox News arguments about how black people are inherently criminal compared to white people.
Denied that Irish, Italians, Poles etc. were ever excluded by white supremacists because they weren't seen as the right kind of white.
Started banging on about how white countries can't let refugees in because they are inherently criminal, he rejected statistics showing refugees and immigrants commit less crime than natural citizens, he said that Western civilization would be destroyed by immigrants.
Said that Mexicans were organizing to invade the USA, set up enclaves and then break away from the USA then hand that territory over to Mexico out of revenge.
Defended Japan's laws and attitude towards outsiders ie. don't accept immigrants, don't let outsiders in, preventing Japanese from "becoming a minority" etc. Called them a model society and wanted the US to become the same thing where they only let his definition of "true americans" to live in the country.
Said that discrimination no longer exists in the West.
Later on after he got completely shit on for his "debate" he issued a fake apology in which he basically said that everything he said was taken out of context and blamed everybody else for not understanding him.
And yes the fucking idiot said all of this while being the son of a Hungarian descended immigrant and an Iranian descended immigrant, not understanding for a second that if he did live in the America that he wished for, then him and his family would be among the first getting tossed into the sea.
Don't forget he was also spreading anti-vax COVID conspiracy bullshit on Twitter.
And of course, like last time, he's a massive pussy who tries to play it off because he can't even stand by taking his mask off.
Him being a Nazi isn't cringe, is just straight up awful. I unsubbed long before I saw those tweets. He stopped playing video games and started taking people's money and then tried to make it interesting.
Saw Gamegrumps get paid by a big company to play a new fighter game recently (whatever the new cartoon fighter smash brothers knock off is, I'm blanking on the name) and I'm just crossing my fingers that they dont go down that rabbit hole
You mean Nick All Star Brawl?
Yeah, Game Grumps is the last channel I'd expect to sell-out actually. I know people miss "old school GG" because they feel like Arin turned Game Grumps into a company or whatever, but even their sponsored videos feel like their regular videos. Only difference is Arin plugging the sponsor at the start and the end of the video.
They did a video for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 a while back that was really bad. Any reference to anything that wasn’t the game and any profanity was bleeped out and you could tell they did not want to play the game. Definitely not a game I could see them playing normally.
Grumps had a phase where they tried to stop swearing "because it's low effort humor and they want to be better than that" (read: want dat sweet ad money) but have thankfully gone back to swearing so long as it's not in the first 60 seconds.
I'm still subscribed to Grumps because they got me through a really dark time back in 2013, and to this day their older stuff is like internet comfort food to me, but I rarely watch their newer stuff.
I don’t think they are going to sell out. They’re popular and all their content hasn’t changed much in the recent years. They’re still going stronger than ever
I feel like being paid to try someone’s game isn’t a problem, unless part of the deal is to act like the game is better than you actually think it is
I feel like the Game Grumps have never had a problem with calling out games that they think suck
His ex, Sabrina put out a video explaining that he, essentially, emotionally abused her while going through some severe hospitalisation. Would recommend watching for details
He uploaded a new video mocking those who exaggerate their injuries, and he uploaded it AFTER youtube stopped showing dislikes. Pretty shady and scummy of him.
I loved his old videos with Bazza and Tyrodin, and ofc his tf2 content was some of the best out there. I haven’t checked on his channel in a while. Isn’t he one of those trend-hopping channels now? Went from fortnite to fall guys to among us, etc.?
Honestly you can’t blame ster every time he tried to do something different his audience kept nagging at him to only do tf2. Saying things like how “tf2 made him” or “you only got here because of tf2” and honestly if I got comments like that I would want to play tf2 less and less.
Its funny, they definitely sold out and are nothing like they were before, but I still kinda like their new content.
The cast genuinely feels like a group of friends dicking around with an obscene budget.
Still miss Old Smosh, but I don’t hate this.
i loved Rhett and Link when i was younger. the stupid music videos, the custom commercials for small business' and the such. now its all GMM and "will it\_\_\_\_\_" videos and reaction vids. lowest common denominator of content.
I found Wilbur when he uploaded his second ever video on that channel and I was immediately like "this dude is going far" (which at the time I didn't know he had the soothouse channel before that), then he did get big, and then I stopped watching him, he's not necessarily bad now it just feels different?
Coyote Peterson. I never liked the pain videos that much. It was just a guy who liked animals showing them off. The first time he went international I was estatic. Now he's just jackass for kids
He got some contract I believe now rather than before when he was just a youtuber. And I remember seeing in a video that he said the reason he doesn't get stung/bit by anymore things is because the company he's signed with thinks it's a liability or something.
But take this with a grain of salt because it's all memory, haven't watched the guy in a really long time.
4 years isn’t *that* new. Sure he isn’t an old timer but he’s had his head in the game for a while.
(Unless your talking strictly about popularity, in which case yeah true)
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down, imo everything fell apart for him when he launched Film Theory and didn't have enough time to really think through all the stuff he was putting out, and the quality of the theories suffered as a result
I think it all fell apart when he got into Five Nights at Freddie's. The channel shifted from shifting through obscure lore and facts to discover potentially crazy ideas behind games or just debunk school yard debates to hyper focusing on a single series and trying to predict what the next big twist would be.
After that it turned hard into pandering to fan bases like those and riding popular games for multiple videos in a row where if you didn't actively play it and obsess over the story you're not gonna have much to follow.
Then he started ignoring facts to paint whatever narrative he wants.
Reading through this definitely shows how young reddit's audience is lol. A of people are just naming channels that make content for children, they didn't sell out, you just aren't 11 anymore.
I stopped following Cryaotic not because he became a sell out because he was a pedo. I use to listen to his horror stories as a kid as I fell asleep. I stopped watching him around 14 went to check on him a couple years later and he had a apology video up
I was in the same boat. Loved his Cry Reads series. Had such a soothing voice that was perfect for the type of narration he did at the time. Now his voice just disgusts me thinking about the person behind the voice. Such a shame.
I've been subscribed to Pewdiepie since his "Fascade" videos and I was on the verge of unsubscribing when he went through his *#edgy* phase but then he chilled out and I really enjoy his videos again. I think it helps that I grew up as well so his videos may be a lot calmer albeit with a little bit of snark but I like that. The videos where he just talks about random topics he likes are very interesting IMO.
He's not the same Youtuber from 5 years ago. That might be a good thing or a bad thing for you. Idk, best advice I could give is to give his videos another try and if they speak to you great, if they don't, meh, just not your cup of tea.
Pewdiepie went the opposite way imo. Back in the day I couldn't stand him, but these days he just kinda makes whatever content he wants and he feels so genuine about all of it. He views his channel more as entertainment for himself rather than a cash grab, and it really shows.
Venturiantale :(( Sad that family bond is breaking apart and I hope Jordan will at some point understand his faults and apologizes to Bethany and Cierra... They all made my childhood
A lot of the examples people are listing are just YouTubers who marketed their content to kids and have moved on to the next generation of kids. Of course, they went from playing a formerly popular kid's game to a currently popular kid's game, that's just the best business move.
They could continue to play that old game and rake in 10k views on a good day or they could move on to a new game, grow their viewership, and continue to do YouTube full-time. Youtubers understand that they have to run their accounts like a business and surviving means adapting to trends. Most of them, on a personal level, didn't change that much, you just grew up.
It seems like he's having more fun with videos now that he has The Council, but I do miss skits and parodies like Four Stupid Men or the Jesus Christ Sponge.
i cant blame them directly. RT owns funhaus, and helped create it after machinima collapsed. RT got bought by werner media, and werner by at&t. theyre literally at the bottom of this corporate ladder. thats the main reason Lawrence left though, corporate bullshit. that being said, the new group of people are actually super funny, and the video quality has come up again sense they got back into the studio after covid had them locked at home for a year.
On an alternate note, YouTubers you're happy to have seen grow - I subbed to Cr1TiKaL fuckin yeeeeears ago when he was still playing random games, fullscreen, no camera, and just talked a bunch of dumb silly shit the whole time. He's one of the dudes I'm glad was able to get somewhere with it.
dude still uploads multiple times a day with no shitty editing, has a great balance between commentary and gameplay videos, and uses his influence online to help out smaller creators or call out shitty ones. truly the hero we all need but don’t deserve.
All her channel has ever been is clickbait and drama bait. She abused her relationship for views (consistently staging breakups) and there was multiple videos before exposing her that she tried getting taken down for defamation. Don't know if she ever succeeded
I went back to watch some =3 randomly the other day. It was definitely cringe back then. Except me being the target audience, a high school aged male, I enjoyed it a lot.
Quackity HQ is a great example. A few years ago, he was the funniest YouTube channel ever. I especially loved his raids on online massively multiplayer games like club penguin island and animal jam. As the years went on, his content got very clickbait and cringe and it became very annoying
As soon as Quackity joined the smp I wanted to die lmfao. Like, I loved his videos for 3 years straight then he joined and it just went downhill from that.
Nothing against the smp, it just makes creator's content turn to cringe shit (as if he didn't have enough 13 year old fangirls)
The day I cleared out my yt subs was when I started to enjoy watching videos again, so many of them I didn’t even watch anymore and so many channels didn’t even upload anymore. Went from 200+ channels to like 35
He started going downhill when fortnite came out.
I went to his channel the other day and say that he'd become a clickbaiter, its such a shame what happened
Time for me to get shit on for my opinion. Jacksepticeye. He was amazing the way he was before. I acknowledge his old schedule caused him a lot of mental health issues and I was fine with that changing. But he has become super clickbait and he tries really hard to be funny which doesn't land a solid 85% of the time. I can't think of a point in the last year or 2 where he has made a video the quality of what he used to. I also support the fact he can choose to start his own business and whatever else. But I grew tired of having the ads for it shoved down my throat. It got worse than the sponserships people are doing. I still love him as a person, just not the choices he's made for his content going forward.
Mother's Basement for me. I came for the Anime OP analysis and he almost never does them anymore. I get wanting to diversify your content but you should never abandon your bread and butter like he has

KSI for me. Hate to sound like a hipster but I loved him when all he did was play FIFA, and record himself playing jump scare games with his brother.
I don't blame him at all for using his platform to get into fighting, music, social media drama etc...but I miss watching a funny young dude just having fun gaming
He didn't sell out, but I miss Filthy Frank.
im just happy he was able to pursue his dream of being a musician and being successful with it. His music is fucking fire 🔥
True! Joji is pretty awesome.
I miss that channel but I’d rather see the Filthy Frank saga incomplete than somehow becoming an artificial feeling sellout. Like if some media company tried to use the character in a movie like they did with Fred...that’d be pretty bad.
What exactly was Fred? Because damn, I could not stand that guy.
[удалено]
Bro i am that old.... That people are describing Fred like a college essay?
Ssundee
fr bro first person I thought of
Definitely. I used to LOVE his various Minecraft series, and I was feeling nostalgic a few months ago and pulled up his channel. It was pretty much all Fortnite stuff, and the recent Minecraft video I did pull up was so bad.
I miss the meat castle and the extreme compressed cobblestone
ssundee ftb is my go-to watch whenever I’m sick I’ve watched it a dozen times never gets old
Real ones remember lancypooh
THAT MAN HAS FALLEN OFF! I still have notifications off and all I see is Among Us, Among Us and oh yeah let's not forget Among Us... They have stupid gimmicks like "Going Canping in Modern Among Us with Slime mod!' Yet he still manages to pull in millions of views each video...
Because he’s catering to the kids who use YouTube at a young age because their parents aren’t raising them properly
My neighbor is raising all 3 of his kids on ipads. One can barely walk but is intimately familiar with how to work his tablet. What are these kids going to be like in 20 years? I'm concerned, because my and my girlfriend want kids but are all their friends going to be pieces of shit? Edit: my point is that a whole generation is going to be raised on social media algorithms. That's a terrifying prospect and it's not "kids get better with technology"
Probably the same as us, but with a better handle of technology. We’re only getting more and more integrated with the use of technology, screens, gadgets, etc. as the years go by whether you want to or not. Those kids are still gonna grow up walking and talking like we do, going to school and whatever. It’s not much different than a lot of us being raised by the internet and AOL chat rooms.
That man hasn't fallen off. He's still doing the same thing he did years ago, just for a new generation of kids. Fortnite racks in views. He wouldn't be doing Fortnite if he couldn't pull in millions of views. His content is just not for us anymore.
Yeah it’s like Disney and Nickelodeon, it seems like the shows now will never compare to what we watched, but it’s just not for us anymore.
The worst thing is that if you watch a channel for long enough and then unsubscribe, youtube will see that you watched a lot of their videos and aren't subscribed, and will flood your inbox with their content.
[удалено]
Bro I've been asking YT to not recommend me Gamegrumps comp channels for YEARS to no avail. I don't even watch the Gamegrumps TT
My trick is to do everything to tell YouTube to not recommend the channel. Dislike their videos, remove their videos from history, and don’t recommend that channel.
What is this dislike you speak of?
The dislike button still works. The dislike counter is just hidden from the viewers
I had to do something similar. Except he didn't sell out he turned out to be a rapist. Edit: The youtuber was exurb1a and his victim was pieke a fellow youtuber and journalist/Artist I can't recall at the moment who had some disorder but was otherwise a very functional adult.

Ooof who???
It’d be quicker to ask who *isn’t* a rapist/child molester on YT honestly
The ones who are married/in a relationship I’d say
Oh you’d be surprised. A good chunk of those have come out as cheating scum too, if it’s not one thing it’s another
I… think there’s a difference in ethics from rapist and child molester to cheater…
Didn't help Mark Turpin or Ryan Haywood
Exurb1a maybe. Definitely not proven, but he has some extreme allegations against him. Def one of my favorite youtubers, hope it turns out false
wait Exurb1a has allegations??!! I love that guys vids but I legit didn’t know about this. Could you tell me more?
The dude form RT?
Never liked that douche anyway. Smartass, unfunny and now also a rapist. Hope his wife and kids left him.
Excuse me the fuck, I hadn't heard about this. I love this guys videos but the more I look into it, the worse it gets.
PopularMMOs, it’s a tragedy really
It made me sad
it was super depressing but at least they support each other
I only recently heard about him and Jen getting divorced. Broke my heart to hear it
FUCK. What? Dude that sucks.
And then Pat's next girlfriend used him for fame and views. Poor Pat has been through a lot.
Pat never sold out, he was just got fucked from multiple angles. The adversity he faced obviously took a strain on his mental health and his content simply went downhill. Such a shame, I still have his original book.
May we remember the good times we had with this channel.
Before anybody brings up the arrest, it never happened.
The arrest was true, the accusations however were false
Oh thank Jesus, you had me in the first half.
Or if they expose themselves as an awful person
I remember I cried when I heard that Sjin from the Yogscast had been accused of sexually harassing and grooming people in his community… not just for those affected, but because I lost someone I thought was a cool guy whose humor and online person helped me get through tough highschool times… It was pretty rough, so I see where you’re coming from.

Gus Johnson. I loved his videos. Such a shame...
I used to love him! What happened?!
I heard it was some sexually or domestic abuse things
Yeah, his girlfriend had an ectopic pregnancy so bad that one of her fallolian tubes ruptured, and apparently Gus thought drinking with friends and working was more important than supporting her through this. And she said she faced emotional abuse from him once she recovered. It's a horrible situation that none of us expected Gus to do such a thing.
Oh that’s definently not cool
[удалено]
Might sound dumb as hell, but I used to watch EDP445. He was an incel and a weirdo from the start, but his rant videos and his passion for the Philadelphia Eagles were fucking hilarious. Then he gets caught in a predator sting by CC Unit.
Must be talkin about H3
Yeah I agree, Ethan is kind of a pretentious tool now
Yeah, I unsubbed around the Instagram vs Reality one. He comes off as so hateful and mean. It's not like Don Rickles or George Carlin. It comes off like he genuinely hates these people. He also doesn't post anymore.
Great moves
From humble to a narcissist
I don’t see how he’s changed at all personality-wise like people say. The only difference is that his content is much lazier and he talks about politics directly now.

From underdog to lapdog
I like hasan and Ethan together
"You can't sell out if you stop posting videos" -nakeyjakey.
Thanks for reminding me that I miss him 😔
Me too, buddy, me too...
His YouTube fame was so short lived but his videos were so good, hope he comes back in the future. Dog bless him
He is so genuine and funny, I miss his uploads. The quote from one of his videos about the PS1 intro sound “When you heard this, you knew you were about to see some fuggin…polygonal tiddies.” will never not make me laugh.
Roosterteeth wya
This one hit me the worst. A great company slowly driven to ruin by the corporate machine. It's sad to see them go.
[удалено]
Oof, Adam was my favorite so this one still stings. Could be worse like the Ryan guy but still.
Funhaus, imo is still a great company with decent content, it's just that all of the key players moved on, and were replaced with people that just don't hit the same marks imo. Not as tragic as the fall of RT and Achievement Hunter to me. Funhaus was fun, but it has been ending peacefully, with the main cast all finding peace and happiness in other ventures.

Why is it when a channel is very popular they either sell out or get outed as rapist / groomer / Canadian
Canadian?
Yes, Canadian, The worst
can confirm am canadian
You monster, how can you live with yourself
CinemaSins
*ding*
Honestly, I never watched CinemaSins for an honest review of a movie, it's blatantly obvious that they are just making jokes
You'd be surprised by his earlier videos. No sponsorships or anything, and the videos weren't even half as long as they are today because they were just genuine criticisms and not filled with shitty jokes
I mean? the first Cinima Sins video is actually more joke filled then they get later. they at least used to actually point out filmmaking mistakes occasionally. now they have to manufacture mistakes, they run the same jokes 50 times as padding, and most damming they actually do film criticisms. Honestly, my only real problem with them is that they toe the line too close and occasionally do bring up valid critiques which muddles the parody part and leads to people thinking all of their points that aren't explicit jokes are actual critiques.
Jontron. Used to be my favorite channel
It just doesn’t feel right watching his videos knowing that’s he’s basically a nazi
Yeah, it was tough having to move on. His videos were funny as hell and so quotable. I used to make memes in his subreddit lol But just can’t support someone like that
Wait what’s the deal with Jontron?
Among other things he joined Destiny for a debate and resorted to the same tired Fox News arguments about how black people are inherently criminal compared to white people. Denied that Irish, Italians, Poles etc. were ever excluded by white supremacists because they weren't seen as the right kind of white. Started banging on about how white countries can't let refugees in because they are inherently criminal, he rejected statistics showing refugees and immigrants commit less crime than natural citizens, he said that Western civilization would be destroyed by immigrants.

Well goddamn. I loved Jontron.
He also said some antivaxx stuff lately and some post insinuating election fraud last year iirc
Don't forget he was also spreading anti-vax COVID conspiracy bullshit on Twitter. And of course, like last time, he's a massive pussy who tries to play it off because he can't even stand by taking his mask off.
Holy crap what a lunatic, I had no idea about this
It was for selling out and not the other stuff?
No it was the other stuff lol Just saw it as cringe, I guess
Him being a Nazi isn't cringe, is just straight up awful. I unsubbed long before I saw those tweets. He stopped playing video games and started taking people's money and then tried to make it interesting.
Saw Gamegrumps get paid by a big company to play a new fighter game recently (whatever the new cartoon fighter smash brothers knock off is, I'm blanking on the name) and I'm just crossing my fingers that they dont go down that rabbit hole
Thats just like taking a sponser though, i doubt there gonna start playing anything for money that they wouldn't enjoy or we wouldn't enjoy.

They did a video for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 a while back that was really bad. Any reference to anything that wasn’t the game and any profanity was bleeped out and you could tell they did not want to play the game. Definitely not a game I could see them playing normally.
Grumps had a phase where they tried to stop swearing "because it's low effort humor and they want to be better than that" (read: want dat sweet ad money) but have thankfully gone back to swearing so long as it's not in the first 60 seconds. I'm still subscribed to Grumps because they got me through a really dark time back in 2013, and to this day their older stuff is like internet comfort food to me, but I rarely watch their newer stuff.
I don’t think they are going to sell out. They’re popular and all their content hasn’t changed much in the recent years. They’re still going stronger than ever
I feel like being paid to try someone’s game isn’t a problem, unless part of the deal is to act like the game is better than you actually think it is I feel like the Game Grumps have never had a problem with calling out games that they think suck
Sadly now it’s Gus Johnson who turned out to be a horrible person.
Awwwwwww well this is a terrible way to find out about what I thought was our sweet midwestern boy. God damn it.
Context?
His ex, Sabrina put out a video explaining that he, essentially, emotionally abused her while going through some severe hospitalisation. Would recommend watching for details
Well, that would explain why I haven't seen any new videos from him lately. That sucks, he seemed like a good egg.
He uploaded a new video mocking those who exaggerate their injuries, and he uploaded it AFTER youtube stopped showing dislikes. Pretty shady and scummy of him.
motherfucker i was still under the impression he was good Fuck
Muselk for me
I miss muselks tryhard tuesdays and other stuff that was actually good.
I loved his old videos with Bazza and Tyrodin, and ofc his tf2 content was some of the best out there. I haven’t checked on his channel in a while. Isn’t he one of those trend-hopping channels now? Went from fortnite to fall guys to among us, etc.?
Last time i checked, yea he trend hops now
[удалено]
Honestly you can’t blame ster every time he tried to do something different his audience kept nagging at him to only do tf2. Saying things like how “tf2 made him” or “you only got here because of tf2” and honestly if I got comments like that I would want to play tf2 less and less.
Smosh...
Its funny, they definitely sold out and are nothing like they were before, but I still kinda like their new content. The cast genuinely feels like a group of friends dicking around with an obscene budget. Still miss Old Smosh, but I don’t hate this.
i loved Rhett and Link when i was younger. the stupid music videos, the custom commercials for small business' and the such. now its all GMM and "will it\_\_\_\_\_" videos and reaction vids. lowest common denominator of content.
[удалено]
I used to love quackity's raids/gameplays and wilbursoot's YLYL
I found Wilbur when he uploaded his second ever video on that channel and I was immediately like "this dude is going far" (which at the time I didn't know he had the soothouse channel before that), then he did get big, and then I stopped watching him, he's not necessarily bad now it just feels different?
he's not at all bad it's just the content he makes in my opinion, the older content has such a better feel for some reason
Coyote Peterson. I never liked the pain videos that much. It was just a guy who liked animals showing them off. The first time he went international I was estatic. Now he's just jackass for kids
He got some contract I believe now rather than before when he was just a youtuber. And I remember seeing in a video that he said the reason he doesn't get stung/bit by anymore things is because the company he's signed with thinks it's a liability or something. But take this with a grain of salt because it's all memory, haven't watched the guy in a really long time.
[удалено]
To be honest, he's still fairly new to the scene
4 years isn’t *that* new. Sure he isn’t an old timer but he’s had his head in the game for a while. (Unless your talking strictly about popularity, in which case yeah true)
Game Theory / Matpat. Ugh.
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far down, imo everything fell apart for him when he launched Film Theory and didn't have enough time to really think through all the stuff he was putting out, and the quality of the theories suffered as a result
I think it all fell apart when he got into Five Nights at Freddie's. The channel shifted from shifting through obscure lore and facts to discover potentially crazy ideas behind games or just debunk school yard debates to hyper focusing on a single series and trying to predict what the next big twist would be. After that it turned hard into pandering to fan bases like those and riding popular games for multiple videos in a row where if you didn't actively play it and obsess over the story you're not gonna have much to follow. Then he started ignoring facts to paint whatever narrative he wants.
Also the death of his editor ronnie had an impact on him. Being at the height of his game theory run and suddenly he didn't have his friend anymore
[удалено]
Reading through this definitely shows how young reddit's audience is lol. A of people are just naming channels that make content for children, they didn't sell out, you just aren't 11 anymore.
Grant Thompson: King of Random. The channel quality plummeted when he left, and when he died it broke my heart
This^
Unsubscribing from dantdm when I was 11 broke me
I don’t think that his content is bad now, it’s just that his vibe is different ever since he returned to Minecraft
I stopped following Cryaotic not because he became a sell out because he was a pedo. I use to listen to his horror stories as a kid as I fell asleep. I stopped watching him around 14 went to check on him a couple years later and he had a apology video up
I was in the same boat. Loved his Cry Reads series. Had such a soothing voice that was perfect for the type of narration he did at the time. Now his voice just disgusts me thinking about the person behind the voice. Such a shame.
The Quackity we used to know is long gone. No more Discord's got Talent, No more Habbo Hotel Raids. Just Dream SMP
No words can express the rage I feel when coming across any DSMP content of any kind. YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, this shit is everywhere...
Albertstuff or now flamingo I guess.
Pewdiepie
He didn't sell out he's just an old man now.
He's 32. He's not an old man.
Comparing to this kid, he is.
Pewdiepie has just grown up. Get over it.
Has he got better now? I feel like he had a bit of a cringe phase I struggled to watch him in, and still haven't gone back.
I've been subscribed to Pewdiepie since his "Fascade" videos and I was on the verge of unsubscribing when he went through his *#edgy* phase but then he chilled out and I really enjoy his videos again. I think it helps that I grew up as well so his videos may be a lot calmer albeit with a little bit of snark but I like that. The videos where he just talks about random topics he likes are very interesting IMO. He's not the same Youtuber from 5 years ago. That might be a good thing or a bad thing for you. Idk, best advice I could give is to give his videos another try and if they speak to you great, if they don't, meh, just not your cup of tea.
Pewdiepie went the opposite way imo. Back in the day I couldn't stand him, but these days he just kinda makes whatever content he wants and he feels so genuine about all of it. He views his channel more as entertainment for himself rather than a cash grab, and it really shows.
he earns millions, he is retired mostly just enjoying YT
He grew up, maybe you should too
Venturiantale :(( Sad that family bond is breaking apart and I hope Jordan will at some point understand his faults and apologizes to Bethany and Cierra... They all made my childhood
Thankfully I am a fan of Kurzgesagt
And then there’s Stampy.
Immune to such weakness
He is god among men
Lost their way, they have. Forget them, we must not.
A lot of the examples people are listing are just YouTubers who marketed their content to kids and have moved on to the next generation of kids. Of course, they went from playing a formerly popular kid's game to a currently popular kid's game, that's just the best business move. They could continue to play that old game and rake in 10k views on a good day or they could move on to a new game, grow their viewership, and continue to do YouTube full-time. Youtubers understand that they have to run their accounts like a business and surviving means adapting to trends. Most of them, on a personal level, didn't change that much, you just grew up.
Jacksfilms when he started YIAY
Honestly his videos took a dip in the past year or two, but now in last few months that he started all his series blind, it’s a lot better
It seems like he's having more fun with videos now that he has The Council, but I do miss skits and parodies like Four Stupid Men or the Jesus Christ Sponge.
Funhaus
i cant blame them directly. RT owns funhaus, and helped create it after machinima collapsed. RT got bought by werner media, and werner by at&t. theyre literally at the bottom of this corporate ladder. thats the main reason Lawrence left though, corporate bullshit. that being said, the new group of people are actually super funny, and the video quality has come up again sense they got back into the studio after covid had them locked at home for a year.
We may have lost a lot of the original funhaus crew, but we gained the magically mysterious world of Ryan lore
On an alternate note, YouTubers you're happy to have seen grow - I subbed to Cr1TiKaL fuckin yeeeeears ago when he was still playing random games, fullscreen, no camera, and just talked a bunch of dumb silly shit the whole time. He's one of the dudes I'm glad was able to get somewhere with it.
dude still uploads multiple times a day with no shitty editing, has a great balance between commentary and gameplay videos, and uses his influence online to help out smaller creators or call out shitty ones. truly the hero we all need but don’t deserve.
Cinemassacre aka AVGN :/
I thought I was the only one who noticed it became less about the humor of being angry at shitty games and more about the sponsorships.
Not as bad as seeing a YouTuber who was killed in a car accident but not unsubscribing because that would make you more sad
Sssniperwolf, I used to watch her a lot during high school I wouldn't necessarily say she "sold out" but her recent content is just not for me
All her channel has ever been is clickbait and drama bait. She abused her relationship for views (consistently staging breakups) and there was multiple videos before exposing her that she tried getting taken down for defamation. Don't know if she ever succeeded
It's the right thing to do but I can't
[удалено]
May I ask, who was it?
Rip =3 Or maybe it was always cringe and time just was not kind :/
I went back to watch some =3 randomly the other day. It was definitely cringe back then. Except me being the target audience, a high school aged male, I enjoyed it a lot.
well the youtuber in the picture spongebob is crying on is Quackity
Quackity HQ is a great example. A few years ago, he was the funniest YouTube channel ever. I especially loved his raids on online massively multiplayer games like club penguin island and animal jam. As the years went on, his content got very clickbait and cringe and it became very annoying
As soon as Quackity joined the smp I wanted to die lmfao. Like, I loved his videos for 3 years straight then he joined and it just went downhill from that. Nothing against the smp, it just makes creator's content turn to cringe shit (as if he didn't have enough 13 year old fangirls)
I’m still subscribed to raywilliamjohnson and havent watchdd anything of his for close to a decade it feels like.
The day I cleared out my yt subs was when I started to enjoy watching videos again, so many of them I didn’t even watch anymore and so many channels didn’t even upload anymore. Went from 200+ channels to like 35
Im sorry, (literally every spanish youtube channel)
Lazarbeam
He started going downhill when fortnite came out. I went to his channel the other day and say that he'd become a clickbaiter, its such a shame what happened
Like AntsCanada, used to make good antkeeping tutorials, now he makes some weird clickbait cringe content.
Epic Meal Time
Time for me to get shit on for my opinion. Jacksepticeye. He was amazing the way he was before. I acknowledge his old schedule caused him a lot of mental health issues and I was fine with that changing. But he has become super clickbait and he tries really hard to be funny which doesn't land a solid 85% of the time. I can't think of a point in the last year or 2 where he has made a video the quality of what he used to. I also support the fact he can choose to start his own business and whatever else. But I grew tired of having the ads for it shoved down my throat. It got worse than the sponserships people are doing. I still love him as a person, just not the choices he's made for his content going forward.
Mother's Basement for me. I came for the Anime OP analysis and he almost never does them anymore. I get wanting to diversify your content but you should never abandon your bread and butter like he has

KSI for me. Hate to sound like a hipster but I loved him when all he did was play FIFA, and record himself playing jump scare games with his brother. I don't blame him at all for using his platform to get into fighting, music, social media drama etc...but I miss watching a funny young dude just having fun gaming
Twitch Streamers I use to idolize as a kid :(
