    beast wouldve been cancelled if there wernt so many hatewatchers wierdly defending and hating it at the same time, mr beast was definitely scared at the time with the KSI controversy/lunchly.

    Youtube kids channels is a wierd one, i assume something like family vlogs? those always end with abuse and criminal neglect. and the other is some of the channels targeting kids was so bizarre youtube had to shut most of them down. not a large channel: a niche small one if anyone watched these asian yotubers, they are currently almost cancelled but is on life support by incels. basically they bullied a female employee and then terminating her, and she told her side of the story then people started to support her, then one of thier channels lackey" released his own video about her and would not correct the misinformation" more people turned against the channel and they lost a ton of revenue. for the past 2 years they have been living off of grifting from incels, because they turned right wing and they constantly thirsts for trump.

    part 2: the channel owners decided to attack her character which caused some sides to believe in the lies. as another former fan uploaded thier shady behaviour of the previous employees they mistreated , made them look worst. thier msyogyny drove all the woman away from thier channel, except 1, and they brought in a eye candy just for the views. apparently also one of thier frequent guest a right wing peddler from the south who has been criticized as the sole reason for thier channels decline, and have been involved with racist videos with shane dawson and that drove all the AA guest away. they had a black guest/employee whom they bullied and treated as a token.

    they started scouring social media to shut down any criticisms like they did before that would drive away more viewers, from showing the truth. they had take down 1-2 subreddits about thier channel, and the main sub is currently still be trolled by thier “fans”. thier current audience is incels: mostly asian and middle eastern men, and parasocial female fans. it was so cringe because they were desperate enough to bring in a female fan from australia to the channel.(and they have 2 on thier channel brigading any comments). this all from the sub which reports the channels activities. also made worst the fact thier channel has been stagnant for like 10+years prior to this, and they were already declining for quite some time, but instead of trying amicably solve thier employee situation, they made it worst.

    and they started shifted heavily to the right as a overcompensation to thier treatment against the female employees, by extension all the females that were ever on the channel had felt their wrath.

    PEWPEWDIE allegedly left, because he retired from youtube, everyone know it was some controversy he had like 5+years ago, people think he retired on his own volition. but he recently came back, and trying to lowkey still try to get a following

    Mangs - I can’t remember why. Probably sexual abuse.
    Shadiversity - went crazy right wing.
    Brian Lunduke - went crazy right wing.
    Sabine Hossenfelter - not “cancelled”, but shedding her original viewers. Used to post science explainers. Now panders to the anti-intellectual / anti-science crowd.

    I had no idea about the AvE thing. It’s wild but not totally surprising. I used to be an avid watcher of his content but a couple of years ago I started getting bad vibes from and stopped consuming his content. The dirty jokes started to feel like they were more than just jokes and his sexism wasn’t ironic. I also started to notice him making statements that felt dogwhistley.

  • Twitch streamer rather than Youtuber and not broadly popular either afaik (but was decently well known within the niche community), but Dode. Was also an SMWcentral mod. Kept platforming certain transphobes and eventually got kicked from his mod position and then banned and the community distanced themselves and he quit streaming. Seems like he also got banned on speedrun.com?

    Probably not surprising that a community full of trans and other LGBT persons isn’t decided they don’t like transphobia?

      Wow, was not expecting dode to show up on here (he rightfully deserves it, but didn’t think it was big enough for anyone to bring em up)!

      He also abused MoniMendezJ and she quit when he came back. I remember that whole thing and also this one user who got away with targeted harassment at Shovda and other transgender streamers as they were subtle with the harassment and also paid a lot towards Mario Maker streamers.

    All Gas No Brakes / Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. Not sure if his viewers canceled him but there was some sexual harassment accusation from multiple women and he came out with a poorly received apology video.

    Ryan Haywood from Rooster Teeth was fired after a number of allegations that he was cheating on his wife with fans. These allegations also included statutory rape and sexual assault. Some evidence was provided to corroborate the allegations. Rooster Teeth removed some videos involving him and publicly distanced themselves from him. He tried to make a comeback on Twitch and got a ton of pushback from it. I believe he ended up getting banned shortly after.

      I quit watching rooster teeth and achievement hunter around the same time they started putting Ryan in everything. I never liked the dude, something felt off. This 'splains that feeling.

    I ended up watching a AvE video after a long while (one where he’s making a socket for TTC) it was bittersweet, I used to love his content

      Same, I’m pretty bitter about him. Like, I figured we’d have different political views but he didn’t seem like a nutter beyond him being completely off his fucking rocker. He had interesting videos, he was quotable as hell, and some of his stuff was quite informative.

      I’m quite sad that things turned out the way they did. I can’t watch his stuff anymore because I don’t want to get flashbanged by crazy.

        Same, loved a lot about the channel then a few years back it just became apparent he was dropping off the deep end and that was the end of that subscription.

        I’ve also tried to go back and watch stuff here and there and it’s damn near impossible to suffer through.

        He used to make “literal movie trailers” and also branched out as a gaming YouTuber but then was ‘exposed’ by a former girlfriend who accused of him being on drugs, abusive, and a rapist. This was picked up by a lot of people and YouTubers who’ve associated with Toby gave their opinions on the matter. Which most gave the answer of “maybe”. They essentially confirmed that tobuscus is not as good as a guy as they might think. That he may or may not be a rapist but is pretty sketchy otherwise. Killed his sponsors and viewers.

        (I stole most of this comment from https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/63gt4f/comment/dfu1ayq/ trying not to plagiarise but also I didn’t remember well enough what happened lol)

    Fuck youtube let’s go back to radio shows.

    Let me tell you the opie and Anthony fable.

    Once upon a time there were a couple guys who wanted to be like stern. They had good connections in the new York comedy world via their co host Jim norton so their show became a haven for comedy. Early louie ck, Patrice o Neal, Colin quin, bill burr, all the guys that came up together.

    Then… drama. Anthony cumia goes down the rabbit hole of his prexisting racism. Opie becomes somehow more insufferable and Jim Norton is there I guess because he loves a good coat tail.

    Around when their show fell apart the fan subreddit turned completely to being nothing but hate and trolling of these b list former radio celebrities. I’ve never seen anything like it.

    There were a lot of funny and talented people shitposting on there. They’d trick news outlets to saying terrorist attacks were made by “antwan kumia”. Relentlessly troll their socials and brigade other communities until they got banned.

    This is actually where Gavin put that stuff in his ass on cam. Compound media. Anthony cumias racist podcast network lmfao. I still subscribe because I don’t think I’ll find out anywhere else when he dies.

    RIP funniest and most toxic place on internet. My life became better once I stopped reading and posting, but do miss it.

    MaximillianMus. While he is a troll who makes content revolving around being toxic; he definetly didn’t deserve all the hate and pedophile accusations. Even now a lot of people mistakenly believe he is one.
