    JonTron got too big for his britches, fucked off of GameGrumps and then on a podcast popped off the “50% of crimes are committed by 13% of the population” horseshit and then kept doubling down on it, now he makes just garbage tier reaction videos like once every 6 months

    Similarly RubberRoss’ cosplayer wife cheated on him with ProJared in what may have been the most pathetic public cuckoldry since Hogan famously belched “I can’t fuck brother! I ate too much sushi” so Holly and Jared both fell apart after that

    I don’t know if he counts as a YouTuber because he got canceled on twitch and moved to YouTube but Dr Disrespect live streamed himself at TwitchCon including going into the public restroom where there were minors present. Which is a bad look but could maybe be seen as an accident if it didn’t also come out that he was actively cheating on his wife, whom he had a child with, with women he was meeting with from Twitch. It was all a bit too much and his platform collapsed while he also started firing off lawsuits in multiple directions

    SSSniperwolf. All I know is she steals people videos, does dumb reactions, and gets tons of views. She does not have the rights to use those videos, but profits so much off others work. I do not think she even links to the sources. (I could be wrong)

      @brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world

      jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author’s content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn’t even on screen).

      jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he’d critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he’d research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn’t credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf’s shady behaviour.

      Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.

      2023-07-26 Let’s tttalk about Sssniperwolf. (jacksfilms)

      2023-08-16 Sssniperwolf is getting worse. Here’s proof. (jacksfilms)

      2023-10-14 Sssniperwolf came to our home last night. It’s time for YouTube to step in. (jacksfilms)

    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.

    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.

    Did you link the wrong video about Rick Beato? The video (I only watched part of it) was an overview of his videos being taken down by YouTube; sometimes against the wishes of the artists themselves.

    I don’t think Rick Beato’s constant rants about YouTube’s takedown policy make him a bad person.

      • he’s an out of touch old dude
      • he is an absuive Dad, forcing his kid to play an instrument that he isn’t interested in.

        Rick Beato: abusive to his kid

        I tried to find a source but it all seems to be memes in the music community because his videos are click baity and his books/lessons aren’t good.

        Some of the abuse comments are obvious jokes, “He dyed his son’s hair white and makes him play the oboe.”

        Are those barely related facts or are you convinced a kid being just forced to learn an instrument qualifies as child abuse?

    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.

    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

        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)

    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.

    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.
