There was a van life de-influencer called Dave2D (not the computer one) who lived in a van and demonstrated the harsh realities of living full time in a van, while also mocking and exposing van life influencers who made it look glamorous, and called out those who were obviously just living in a house and pretending to be living in vans for the insta. He regularly made fun of those vanlife couples, especially when they inevitably broke up, until a very famous recently single vanfluencer killed herself after enduring lots of harrassment by his followers, and then Dave2Ddeleted almost all his videos.

Then he moved into a car with a puppy in LA and someone stole his catalytic converter while he was sleeping in the car, then he moved to a tiny cabin in Montana and transitioned to painting on Livestream, and now as far as I know he has no presence on YouTube.

I think was the channel name. He showed welding and fabrication, one day he was reading something weird on video Idk and got canceled.

Braille Skateboarding used to be so cool. They even made it to the news in Australia with the first glass skateboard video.

Last I heard was the park was destroyed WITHOUT telling the rest of crew it was happening, so they all missed out on a final session.

I don’t really keep up, but is that Dr. Disrespect guy still considered a pedo pariah?

Laci green used to be a women’s health feminist youtuber. Made a video titled “i took the red pill” and immediately lost 90% of her views followed by the channel.dying within 10 videos.

Not really “a” youtuber, but i thoroughly enjoyed watching roosterteeth crash and burn. I loved their goofy shit maybe 10 or 15 years ago, but goddamn the fame really went to their heads fast. Ray and Mikey and Jack were all mostly cool, but Geoff had this really toxic “failed jock” vibe that really put down everyone else for very little reason. Then you had straight up toxic narcissists join up over the years, then Ryan shitting the bed by trying to hook up with (possibly underage) fans. It all came crashing down hard. It started out as a fun group of gamers and quickly turned into this weird hazing/bullying/im more famous than you circlejerk.

Not really a YouTuber but I’ve always been curious what happened about a decade ago with Chris Ziegler from The Verge, who was an editor but then accepted a job at Apple on the side, and was then fired by both companies. He then disappeared entirely from the record and everyone got real quiet about it.

Probably not the “biggest”, but remember Gus Johnson? Looked like a promising up-and-comer in the Internet comedy space, and then he got cancelled and effectively disappeared over night.

It’s a tie between EDP445 and Onision.

Honorable mention goes to Illuminaughtii.

Illuminaughti and Iskall85

Jenna marbles was cool and then some asshole canceled her and now she’s gone how about that fuck you all

Toby Turner was pretty big in my eyes, but then there was some controversy of abuse or minors or something, I can’t remember. But he made me laugh so hard like not many YouTubers could, dude. His gameplay of that game with the dad on his bike with his kid in the back of the bike, my god. Those were the days.

i mean colleen ballinger/miranda sings

Boogie2988

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.
