    Oof, for me in my world, there have been so many unfortunately.

    John Kuckian, Jaclyn Hill, Jeffree Star, and more recently Raw Beauty Kristi though she’s been in decline for a while.

    Makeup Youtubers are something fucking else.

    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.

    It’s pretty niche, but Mike Israetel of Renaissance Periodization is one of the biggest fitness youtubers who for years has thrown his phd around to become an authority on sports science. A critical review of his joke of a phd thesis was recently published and now it’s pure chaos in this sphere

    Not a vlogger, but CarlH was a respected reddit user who had a long and successful series of C programming lessons on youtube. I remember going through some of his videos back in the day.

    He was arrested for abusing and exploiting his own son for child pornography, and later commited suicide in jail. I guess you can’t fall much harder.

    One of the many reddit posts about the story: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/upkjb7/carl_h_once_made_a_following_for_himself_online/

    The Completionist. Socials went private and any videos finished but unreleased had the artwork changed so it wasn’t obviously from the channel.

    Some others that came to mind is ProJared with the sexts, but he eventually defended his side and continues to post new videos, and the controversy from the Nostalgia Critic group during the ChangeTheChannel campaign

    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.

      He did a lot in the aftermath. It’s worth reading basically the whole “rebranding and fake death” section:

    Onision had a pretty spectacular implosion, but he was always a pretty wild and controversial figure. Shane Dawson was another pretty massive one. Miranda Sings was also huge, then all the weird and creepy chats and strange moments came out, sank her whole brand.

    Probably pewdiepie. He was very popular before the incident, after which noone wanted to touch him. His Scare Pewdiepie show also got canceled. He has regained popularity again though.

        In September 2017, while PewDiePie was live-streaming gameplay of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to his YouTube channel, he used the racial N-word towards another player in the game.
