I used to love Northernlion until I found out he was bald

[u/pharlap1 → u/Eppyfone]

HE'S WHAT!?

[u/nicolasmcfly → u/pharlap1]

He's the bald guy

[u/vagabond_dilldo → u/nicolasmcfly]

What a sick fuck, and he's been doing it right under our noses the whole time?

[u/Your-Onichan → u/vagabond_dilldo]

[u/The_Franklinator → u/Eppyfone]

Same thing with MALF. Loved him until he feel down the stair and ravioli on him

[u/bigbootybuttbutt → u/Eppyfone]

Truly shocking

[u/mrBreadBird → u/Eppyfone]

I unsubbed when he was exposed as a good father live on stream 😡

[u/ModemEZ → u/Eppyfone]

NLs biggest controversy is how long the food poisoning arc went on

[u/SmurreKanin → u/Eppyfone]

Many people are saying this

[u/jumpdrive-set]

This is me watching illuminaughtii. I found her content like last month, thought her stuff was really cool and then like a week later boom she's terrible.

[u/EllieBasebellie → u/jumpdrive-set]

Also it’s atrociously researched

[u/ten_dead_dogs → u/EllieBasebellie]

The first time iilluminaughtii made a video about something I was extremely familiar with, it was kind of a revelation. "Wait a minute, this is all wrong. It's surface-level recaps without any actual insight into what happened, and some of it is just straight up inaccurate."

And then I was like "...how many of these videos have been the same thing, but I didn't know enough about the subject matter to realize it?"

[u/GigaSnaight → u/ten_dead_dogs]

Video essays are dangerous, because a good one is convincing - it is, after all, the job. A good video essayist WILL convince you. Whether it's something consequential like politics, or inconsequential like a movie review. I remember really disliking a movie, only to watch it again and realize I never watched it, just watched someone else explain why it was bad.

I remember the first time I became REALLY aware of it. Someone in some random thread I stumbled in on r/all was explaining details about years old drama in Magic: The Gathering, a subject I know way too much about. They were super confidently explaining the drama wrong, misusing game terms, and gave off the overall vibe that they started playing like last week. And it had thousands of upvoted and some gildings, because if you hadn't thrown your life away to the cardboard crack like me it would seem very correct.

Kind of opened my eyes to the danger of unearned confidence. Confidence is, after all, what puts the con in conmen.

[u/vinniepdoa → u/EllieBasebellie]

Yeah, I was liking her stuff then she made a video about something I know very well that was just... wrong. Like, really factually incorrect and delivered in this righteous way that I couldn't trust her anymore.

[u/EllieBasebellie → u/vinniepdoa]

Same. That was her cruising video for me. I’m like literally none of this is correct and all sounds like it’s pulled off a buzz feed “top 10 reasons you shouldn’t cruise” list

[u/littehiker → u/EllieBasebellie]

I was waiting for someone to say this! Her stuff is soooo poorly researched. Some of it was entertaining but basically fact checking as I watch it

[u/EllieBasebellie → u/littehiker]

I’m convinced she comes up with the video title and then has her abused coworkers team come up with the supporting research after

[u/RequirementTall8361 → u/jumpdrive-set]

I feel so bad for Click and One Topic. They’re such cinnamon rolls, they really didn’t deserve to get dragged into the garbage fire

[u/nephelokokkygia → u/jumpdrive-set]

What happened with her? Is it shitty political views or something?

EDIT: nvm, found it

[u/Tea_is_me]

Talking about iiluminaughtii this week?

[u/sw1nky → u/Tea_is_me]

Oh no what did she do

[u/Dude_with_hat → u/sw1nky]

She accused another YouTuber legal eagle of using the same visual effects as she has legal eagle published a video responding to iiluminaughtii and to add more salt into the wounds it was revealed that she was actually using somebody's else's effects. Also past drama in the comment added by Tea_is_me

[u/MormonBikeRiding → u/Dude_with_hat]

Going after legal eagle is wild

[u/MrBloodyHyphen → u/MormonBikeRiding]

The last person I'd wanna sue over fair use is a really good professional lawyer who covers cases related to fair use and copyright

[u/maungateparoro → u/MrBloodyHyphen]

I mean even if he was a little scummy, which I don't believe is, going after him just seems to be a waste of time? Like, you really expect to have any success there?

[u/Mautos → u/maungateparoro]

Might as well go ahead and sue Google while you're at it

[u/97Graham → u/maungateparoro]

Right? You are going after someone who can even represent themselves without issue, why would you take that fight over something so banal?

[u/TheOneTonWanton → u/97Graham]

Worse yet, he's almost certainly smart enough to not represent himself, and lawyer enough to know exactly the best lawyer to hire.

[u/ThePunisherMax → u/TheOneTonWanton]

Not even that, hes arguably the most famous Lawyer youtuber who does Law stuff actively. And he still actively works (last I checked) as a lawyer in a prestigious firm.

He likely knows some TOP tier Copyright lawyers, furthermore, there will be lawyers coming out of the woodworks to come support him in a possibly public case.

[u/BulbusDumbledork → u/MormonBikeRiding]

nevermind that it's legaleagle. the things she said he plagiarized were:

1. having a torn-page cutout with text in it;
   
2. having an animation of text getting highlighted

this is like mcdonald's accusing burger king of plagiarism for having a burger/chip/cola meal combo

[u/MurderPutin → u/BulbusDumbledork]

Ford accuses Toyota of plagiarism for using wheels.

[u/WhereAreThePix → u/MormonBikeRiding]

She was after the editor for legal eagle that simply asked what photoshop addon they were using for a high liter effect. Literally Vox that a ton of people have been using since early 2000s

[u/Tea_is_me → u/sw1nky]

She was exposed for being terrible to her coworkers, and posting her friends almost suicide note on youtube. https://youtu.be/g_mwUJZj4eM https://youtu.be/m-KaXJkerAA

Edit: fixed the first link

[u/sw1nky → u/Tea_is_me]

Oh damn. The video you linked got taken down though I think :(

[u/fejrbwebfek → u/sw1nky]

They put two links together without a space in between. The first one seems to be gone, but the second link is here: https://youtu.be/m-KaXJkerAA

[u/KeeperOfWatersong → u/sw1nky]

From what I gathered she made some dumb plagerism accusation towards LegalEagle for using common editing effects and got slammed with plagarism accusations herself unless it's something else they're refering to?

[u/therealsteveXVII → u/KeeperOfWatersong]

Yes, she posted someone's suicide note while trying to paint him as a lazy freeloader. She also falsely accused someone else as being complicit to grooming and used an alt accpunt for a smearcampaign because he said the r-slur in some stream a long time ago.

[u/NaOleg → u/therealsteveXVII]

She also falsely accused someone else as being complicit to grooming and used an alt accpunt for a smearcampaign because he said the r-slur in some stream a long time ago.

You are talking about The Click?

[u/Machotoast04098 → u/NaOleg]

Yep, She also used poor oz media as a tool :(

(Hes one of my favs)

[u/Emeraldskull41 → u/Tea_is_me]

Man what she did to Click. You dont do shit to people as nice and wholesome as that. And all the other victims caught in the matter too

[u/DaFreakingFox → u/Tea_is_me]

Mini Ladd likely

[u/cooperman114]

I watched this guy called Jerma until I heard he puts several people into a meat grinder a day, real psycho

[u/ericbyo → u/cooperman114]

I heard he greases up roads at night so he can watch cars crash in the morning

[u/MiracleD0nut → u/ericbyo]

I heard he died to Pinwheel, truly a monster.

[u/thisis887 → u/ericbyo]

Is that the same guy that won't eat salad unless it's been microwaved?

[u/Tornado76X → u/cooperman114]

I heard he zerked off on stream

[u/companysOkay → u/cooperman114]

No way, is this the same guy who got stoned, shat his pants and then clogged his toilet so he had to call a friend to come over with a plunger??

[u/Donut_Police → u/companysOkay]

I remember when he killed his audience with a cognitohazard, it was fucked up. But also really funny.

[u/Fizzhaz → u/cooperman114]

It’s consensual tho

[u/Womcataclysm → u/Fizzhaz]

I don't consent. Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask

[u/SantaMariaBBQsauce → u/cooperman114]

is this the guy who got blown up by a nuclear warhead a week ago?

[u/E115lement → u/cooperman114]

Once during a stream he scrum so loud it burst my eardrums

[u/PepperJackson → u/cooperman114]

I've heard every single person is his enemy

[u/Piduf]

I found a youtuber a while back that would make both funny videos where he makes shit explode, combined with super clear explanations on what he does. Real PASSIONATE about crafting stuff and experimenting.

He didn't upload anything for a while, to the point I forgot about him but a few months later I wondered where he was. Nothing on his YouTube. Nothing new on social medias either. Googled his name, turns out he was involved in some pedophilic affair.

Sometimes I think about it and I wish every influencer would do what he did: OF COURSE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CRIME but he didn't try to make drama. He just disappeared. That's probably the best thing to do. Just vanish.

[u/Seventh_Deadly_Bless → u/Piduf]

ExperimentBoy ? Probably not.

[u/Skezas1 → u/Seventh_Deadly_Bless]

This really, really reads like ExperimentBoy

[u/Darkshadow0308 → u/Skezas1]

I thought I missed something happening with Explosions & Fire for a second.

[u/Eeeeeelile]

Just like Kwite but atleast he came back and disproved all of the accusers points

[u/bob1111bob → u/Eeeeeelile]

Had to sacrifice his anonymity in the process tho I personally don’t consider it a proper face reveal due to the circumstances

[u/Koalamatic → u/bob1111bob]

I think you were seeing things. All I saw was just a floating hoodie still.

[u/bob1111bob → u/Koalamatic]

I didn’t think I’d hit the drink that bad but you could be right

[u/Netwinn → u/Eeeeeelile]

Kwite was the victim and had to forgo his long held anonymity to refute every claim. Truly hope he comes back in full capacity again.

[u/Chango_D → u/Netwinn]

He is little by little! He’s now posting on his Kwyte (with a y) channel. He posted 2 vids this week. 1 of them is on the Spider-Man 2 gameplay :)

[u/Th4tRedditorII → u/Eeeeeelile]

Except he wasn't a horrible person though, because as you say, he proved his innocence, even at the cost of his anonymity.

[u/SrepliciousDelicious]

Achievement hunter ryan haywood.

Wat een lul

[u/timmystwin → u/SrepliciousDelicious]

This was a real nail in the coffin for AH.

Their chemistry was dropping before this, with few of them really giving a shit about or understanding group cohesion and content creation, but he was a lynchpin of this by being the older "gent" in a lot of videos, same as Jack. Gave it more structure, much like Geoff running videos.

When it all became people making loud noise and aiming for improv, with no-one to corral the group, it became unwatchable for me. Gav will occasionally turn up again and try and start interesting conversations, try and make interesting content with where he's looking, what he's doing and what he's saying, but no-one else even bothers. They just don't understand working as a group, they're all acting like solo streamers doing bits, not mates having fun. (To the point Gavin has literally told people doing bits over the top of others talking to shut up in let's plays...)

[u/SomewhatIrishfellow → u/SrepliciousDelicious]

And to a lesser degree Adam Kovic from FunHaus

[u/VoteForSandtrap → u/SrepliciousDelicious]

Remember how his persona was a sociopathic serial killer, because it was a juxtaposition to how mild manner he was in real life? Yeah…

[u/Scorpion5437]

Certified Mini Ladd moment

Probably Ohmwrecker too

[u/TFlarz → u/Scorpion5437]

One day I wondered why Ohm had gone back to solo DBD videos. I looked stuff up. Moderate yikes.

[u/SheenTStars → u/TFlarz]

Wait what did ohm do? I only know him from fruit's videos, but now I'm curious.

[u/lolwatergay → u/SheenTStars]

Ohm did a lot of shit-slinging towards the rest of the VanossCrew. Don't exactly remember the exact details, but he went on quite a few unhinged rants about the other members and complained about how he "wasn't in the main circle."

Not as bad as MiniLadd showings his Mini Lad to a bunch of mini lads, but still a pretty shitty thing to do.

[u/Aggravating_Cut63 → u/lolwatergay]

I remember when he was talking shit to Terrorizer (i think) about one of the others, and then he just goes dead quiet the moment that one guy joins lol. What a little chickenshit

[u/SuspecM → u/Aggravating_Cut63]

Weird how both Mini and Ohm tried to single out Terroriser out of the group. Must be great for his self confidence.

[u/CatsKittyCat → u/Aggravating_Cut63]

You're right it was terrorizer that was interviewing ohm. I think Wildcat was the one who joined.

The silence was hilarious.

Edit:changed sentence structure

[u/Undderatedmemegod → u/CatsKittyCat]

Nah it was a small YouTuber at the time called TJV who was interviewing ohm. Wildcat joined and ohm goes quite for a few seconds before saying something like “I didn’t agree to this”

[u/GOULFYBUTT → u/Scorpion5437]

It's incredible that of the whole Vanoss/Machinima gang, Mr Sark has maintained a clean record. Love that man.

[u/Pattoe89]

I guess Sjin was so long ago nobody remembers it, scrolled a good way down without him being mentioned. Such a creep.

[u/Giveadden21 → u/Pattoe89]

This is who i was looking to see as well. Glad someone else mentioned him. I used to love his content so much. Especially him and Sips together.

[u/Pattoe89 → u/Giveadden21]

Sips usually is pretty stoic, but when he talked about it on stream, you could tell he was profoundly upset.

I love the chemistry between Sips, Pflax and Lewis on the triforce podcast, though.

[u/orange4zion]

And then something horrible happens to the good ones. RIP Brain4Breakfast, Technoblade, Edd Gould, and Totalbiscuit and I'll have to go fight God if he takes Hank Green from us.

[u/OntologicalShoc → u/orange4zion]

Feels like God is making a decent attempt right now ☹️

[u/wafflepantsblue → u/OntologicalShoc]

Don't worry, it's early stage and very treatable with a high success rate. He should hopefully be fine :)

[u/IiteraIIy → u/wafflepantsblue]

[u/miclowgunman → u/wafflepantsblue]

My Bro in Law had stage four at his age and had very few complications getting cleared so I'm gonna lean hard on Experience Bias for this one and think he'll be fine.

[u/BriRice → u/orange4zion]

I forgot how much I missed Eddsworld until you mentioned Edd Gould. What a legend.

[u/IiteraIIy → u/orange4zion]

I was inconsolable over Technoblade. Such an awesome dude. Shit isn't fair.

[u/ConnectAddition2236]

Hug. You've matured. The onion man is 37 and an immature sack of shit

[u/UnNormie → u/ConnectAddition2236]

Same for onision. I didn't share a lot of his views but was deep in the rabbit hole of 'hes not wrong for having a different opinion though!' copium, so would 100% defend him when I was younger

[u/Jesusistrans_]

Got into a YouTube skateboarder that ended up being a big scientology guy.

[u/Gatsby--]

Cry… what a shame that was. Edit: I meant as in Cryaotic. Not telling anybody to cry about it

[u/Gaskychan → u/Gatsby--]

That one still hurts

[u/Rumsie → u/Gaskychan]

Dare I ask what happened?

[u/ScuttleBerry → u/Rumsie]

He posted a video saying some weird stuff about mental health and then said something about being involved with a minor and was trying to downplay it. Then in the ensuing month 5+ individuals came out stating they had shared pictures and done stuff in calls with him while they were minors.

Also it came out that his public gf for a couple years was a minor when they started dating. He went radio silent after so many people came out with proof and afaik he just disappeared in 2019. More drama happened, but honestly I can't remember it all. It was on of the early Google docs evidence compilations ( at least that I can remember).

[u/Terachimeric → u/Gatsby--]

Cry was a huge one for me, he was my favourite lets player. If you're into a calmer and more thoughtful look at lets plays though, you might appreciate ManlyBadassHero. Scratches the same itch for me, anyway, and he plays tons of unknown indie horror.

[u/ypapruoy]

I still miss the old funhaus.

[u/timo103 → u/ypapruoy]

Roosterteeth in general. Holy shit how did they plummet so quickly.

[u/Nightshot → u/timo103]

At least Ray got out of it.

[u/tennisdrums → u/timo103]

The whole "plummet" thing is kind of a half truth, though. A lot of the stuff about their shady business practices and frat-culture that have come out recently lineup almost exactly with the time period most fans look back on as their "peak".

I think it came down to the fact that the guys who founded it didn't really know how to evolve their culture and management practices from "a few guys making stuff together" into a "full business with employees", which led to a lot of shitty hours for employees, people not getting paid on time, a very cliquey company culture, etc.

[u/granitepinevalley → u/ypapruoy]

Man… I remember the week it all blew up. Each thing was progressively worse until it landed on one person grooming fans and the other whacking it in the bathroom while cheating on his wife.

Why would you format your comment like this? I was horrified reading that first bit 😭

If Rhett and Link turned out bad, I'm not sure how I would handle that news.

[u/EverlastingEvening → u/Malthur]

You are basically me with those channels. Add Kurtis and Scott Cramer and fuck man, I don't know who I'd watch anymore at that point. All of them seem like saints, even if Rhett and Link are a bit more commercialized.

[u/Daviscore156]

Good ole Channel 5 News

[u/Ouro130Ros → u/Daviscore156]

Yeah that one hurt

[u/UVCLight → u/Daviscore156]

That one hurts a lot because I really enjoyed the content and his interview style. I remember I was literally watching the HBO special and like 20 minutes into it found out. Never finished it cause it just felt off.

[u/mrBreadBird → u/UVCLight]

I mean, that's probably the reason people came forward about him when they did - he was blowing up and doing a ton of interviews.

EDIT - Not saying they did it for clout, just that if you're seeing someone you had these bad experiences with on TV etc. that might bring those memories back/inspire you to speak out.

[u/OctaviousBlack]

[u/GimmeDatThroat → u/Vysoky]

To be fair his video still get millions of views when he makes them so I wouldn't say gutted.

[u/Unoriginal_Man → u/GimmeDatThroat]

Yeah, he laid low until the heat died down, then came back to continued success. I will never understand his decision to hold that debate. There was no good outcome to be had, and it's not like he was known for his social commentary.

[u/Munnodol → u/Unoriginal_Man]

Then he started talking about anti-vax

[u/CaptainSouthbird → u/GimmeDatThroat]

Yeah, I mean, he's pretty much got the YouTube creator dream. Only has to put out a video every few months, rakes in millions of views WITH a sponsor (so probably makes at least tens of thousands of dollars per video, never mind trickle income from his backlog) then just ducks out for a few months until popping up again. I don't follow him personally and I imagine he's possibly making money elsewhere.

Although relative to this, I do remember when he got pulled from his Yooka-Laylee voice acting role because of this incident.

[u/Low-Caterpillar-9913 → u/Vysoky]

"No body wants to become a minority in their own country"

Why, are they treated poorly or something, Jon?

[u/IAmRoofstone → u/Ncrpts]

Wow I forgot that it was THAT bad holy shit Jon

[u/FvHound → u/IAmRoofstone]

For a fair amount of time after that, you had loads of people saying how it wasn't really that bad, and accusing others of not having even seen the video, but these same people would never reply to people quoting jon from the video.

[u/FlawlessRuby → u/Ncrpts]

Oh no... I mean he kept going :/

[u/Mountain-Pudding → u/OctaviousBlack]

To me it always just felt like JonTron has a much harder time to accept and admit when he was wrong than others. If you hear him argue, the way he talks, he never really backs down from anything he says. Pair that with a mouth that speaks before thinking and a heavy confirmation bias and you got the mess that is JonTron.

[u/mrBreadBird → u/Mountain-Pudding]

It was much worse than that. If you watch the video he doesn't just say one dumb thing - he clearly fell into some racist hole online dropping multiple "facts" and buzzwords from those communities.

[u/ImNotCringeIPromise]

Triangle lady moment

[u/TheSwedishEzza]

shadiversity for me, I hate how he seethes and everything calling it "woke"

His only gripe with Matt Walsh is that he thinks animation is for childeren and Shad sees any challenge to social norms as degeneracy.

[u/LermMortemrose → u/TheSwedishEzza]

Another YouTuber called him out on his shit in a segment of a video and in response shad made a multi hour long video claiming they lied about him and took things out of context all the while calling them disgusting and terrible for doing so. Ironically in order to fuel his narrative shad takes things out of context, lies, and assumes things. This was all about the mario movie

[u/WeaselSlayer → u/LermMortemrose]

He literally just follows the Daily Wire playbook. I actually didn't know him for his sword and medieval stuff. I started watching his Rings of Power reviews. I agreed with a lot of the criticisms of the show's writing, but then once I started hearing him say things like "girlboss moment" and "Guy-ladriel," I was like oh shit lemme see some of his other stuff... clicked a video where he responds to someone at Daily Wire, and says in the first couple minutes that he likes Daily Wire. That was the last of that dude for me.

[u/Definitely_Not_Rez]

When I was younger I fucking loved the band "Lostprophets" for more than 15 years I had listened to everything they ever did. Then the news about Ian Watkins came out. I was standing in a children's hostel where I was working for the Department for Child Protection. I had never felt so fucking ill in my life.

[u/DerpingtonHerpsworth → u/Definitely_Not_Rez]

As someone on the slightly older side of the reddit demographic, this is the first thing in this thread that I recognized.

I had the first two albums and they were in heavy rotation for much of the early 2000s. I even credit that first album as one of just a few that might've kept me from falling into a deeper depression than I was already in. I kinda just drifted away from them after that, but still loved those first two albums.

Haven't been able to really listen to them since I learned about Watkins (once or twice maybe, but otherwise I'd probably be playing them on a much more regular basis). I so badly want to separate the art from the artist, because that first album in particular really meant something to me, but it's hard.

I know that but don't know the situation fully so can you explain?

[u/Dude_with_hat → u/CryptographerAgile24]

Wait him really

[u/OnixAwesome → u/Dude_with_hat]

I'm sorry that you had to learn like this... but this is funny.

God, that one hurt.

[u/Rebelpride1 → u/LoudYelling]

That one still hurts. Even trying to watch Sven makes me sad

[u/DecafLatte → u/Lanky_Television_330]

Oh, what happened? :0

A semi popular Youtuber for an MMO I play, recently completely rebranded his channel to go full on alt right cult mode. No warning, no nothing. People thought it was an early April Fools at first, but nope.
Coming from giving video game advice, his new goal includes gems like:
"raising up the next generation of Godly men as leaders of the world"

[u/Chestarpewnewtbattar]

Supported James Charles, JonTron, Gus Johnson, and Andrew Callaghan. Disappointed me in that very order. 🤡

Edit: Also ain't nobody talking about people who have always been horrible, got a redemption arc, then showed their true colors?

The worst part is mistakenly giving attention to alt-right youtube. I watched a video from "Critical Drinker" once, youtube saw this and then started recommending me all their echo-chamber hugbox content, just a damn sea of youtubers with skulls in their icons and twenty thousand videos about how terrible Brie Larson is and how a black little mermaid is destroying society.

Oops.

[u/KillYourUsernames → u/Sorlex]

YouTube’s algorithm is so bad about this that I’ve started watching on incognito if it’s an account I’m unfamiliar with and I’m at all suspicious of where their values lie.

[u/HairyKraken → u/KillYourUsernames]

YouTube’s algorithm is so bad

on the contrary it's perfectly designed to maximize engagment. too bad it create echo chamber

I found a youtuber at the start of the year for a computer game i like to watch. He became one of my top watched youtubers since his videos were educational and to the point, very descriptive of what was going on and what he was thinking etc etc. Then one day i saw him stream on twitch and i got all excited. After watching his stream i realised that he was insanely content focused, as in when not on a potential video he was really toxic on stream. It was like a mask he put up for the content, and when he was inbetween games he was cursing a lot and complaining about everything in a really self centered manner. When he figured that the current game was not video content he just gave up and started again and was just really boring and obnoxious on stream and towards other people in the game. After that i unsubbed from his channel because i just could not get this experience out of my head every time i saw him on youtube.

[u/Literal-Chaos → u/GlassOfDan]

This is the same as a siege youtuber I watch. Seeing their unedited thoughts on twitch really lifts the veil youtube provides and shows who they really are outside of highlighted clips. It doesn’t ruin their videos as much, I’m only watching their videos because they are skilled at the game.

[u/JoJo99xtv]

“They have videos and content you enjoy

They touch kids”

Always the kids man just leave em alone 😭

It was sadly ironic when Diamondbolt, who made a lot of videos about Transformers, turned out to be a massive Transphobe.

Edit: not exclusively Transformers, turns out

[u/Dude_with_hat → u/Jozxyqk_27]

Not diamondbolt anyone but diamondbolt

[u/Jozxyqk_27 → u/Dude_with_hat]

Maybe they've improved since then, but when they went mask-off about 5 years ago, I called them out in the comments and they doubled down. This was just before a Transformers comic they were praising was about to introduce a canonically trans character, too. Might have been a fascinating meltdown by them.

[u/sketchisawesome1234]

Why do famous people got be bad people?

[u/Space_Lux → u/sketchisawesome1234]

they’re just people. most people are not purely good or bad.

[u/Cubeytheawesomest → u/sketchisawesome1234]

It’s like a fucking ancient curse.

[u/Tarot13th]

The whole Featureman situation comes to mind.

Sqizxy :( great humor and a good animator but was actually a terrible person offline

[u/mrsquare]

Just the other day learned this recently with a certain painting Youtuber I watch too :/

[u/Dude_with_hat → u/mrsquare]

Dear god is it jazza

[u/EarlMcFisticuffs → u/Dude_with_hat]

Given that his brother is Shadiversity, I wouldn't be surprised. But so far as I know, Jazza's fine.

[u/K1dn3yPunch → u/mrsquare]

This whole thread is full of “This (specific game) streamer I watched turned out to be awful”.

With no mention of the streamer. Then a dozen comments suspecting or asking who it is.

Then the op replying with the streamer name.

Just mention the streamer/YouTuber in the original comment lol. You know people are going to ask.

[u/WillScrolls]

Yogscast Sjin :( I literally grew up watching his videos so it was pretty devastating when everything came out

[u/rahcled]

Ahh yes. Also known as most British YouTubers around 2010ish

[u/moonyxpadfoot19 → u/rahcled]

DanTDM and TheGamingBeaver have never had controversies as far as I can remember. They're my favourite British YouTubers

[u/ActHour4099]

Or they become parents and suddenly it's a family channel and all their personality is gone.
