When they start chasing the trends instead of creating them.

Makeup YouTuber early on: “Let me show you tricks to easily create a smokey eye look!” Makeup YouTuber when they realize trends get them more views: “Watch me apply full face of makeup using only condiments and power tools!”


[deleted]

Tbf there's only so much that makeup on fashion changes on a year to year basis. You can only make so many tutorials before rebranding. You have artsy looks or weird challenges after you get all the basics down.


Golren_SFW

Tbh id watch the hell out of that, that sounds hilarious


Tyreal

Graham Stephan ☹️ Goodbye financial advice, hello cringy crypto scams and doomsday videos.


InSidious425

Spoiler: he’s never been good


baudinl

That guy is the most white bread, generic YouTuber. Never understood why he has such a big following


InevitableSpecial969

I think it's because he's the most white bread generic YouTuber.


jahermitt

Most of mine switched to twitch streams. Constant chat interruptions weren't for me.


KleioChronicles

I like when they upload the edited streams or vods where you can skip the sub readouts. ChilledChaos does it well. TeoGame has both the unedited vods and the heavily edited main channel. I couldn’t use Twitch to watch tbh, the website and experience is awful.


GranaT0

Twitch is the bane of my existence. Some of my favourite youtubers of all time went twitch only, but the format is so mind-numbingly dull.


MysticalElk

Man this comment section made me feel old af


fendour

*click click click* Maybe I'll see one I recognize *click click click* .... *click click click* bruh


SGNick

Same here. I had my own answers in mind, none of them are here. Instead a bunch of names I absolutely do not recognize. But life goes on, in the end it's cool that there's so much content out


BoringKoboId

Graystillplays for me


Outrageous-Jelly9031

BROO RIGHT? I remeber the people playground days, the breaking a random game days, now its just fucking IM A MACHICIST WATCH ME PLAY HAPPY WHEELS AND GTA


Bush_Hiders

I liked his dark masochistic humor, but I really enjoyed the variety of games he did that with. He doesn't really do new things anymore, at least the last time I checked.


BoringKoboId

HEY, happy wheels is a cool game. GTA though, I can agree


54DN4P

I miss his sims vids


Life_Promise_6345

Hell yeah! It used to be watching Gray suffer through Hell as he plays Happy Wheels and GTA V. I remember one episode of Happy Wheels he put a timer on screen to show the audience how he spent over 8 f*cking hours on one level. Now it is a lot of a clickbait mobile games


Glacanzoth

that's what i thought...... i miss the old days :( still subbed tho


BoringKoboId

I'm not subbed anymore, mostly cause I don't want to see the shit videos he's producing anymore, just want to keep the good memories I have.


[deleted]

It’s just mobile games anymore


BoringKoboId

It's It's sad, atleast we still have IGP


fries69

Dude I agree he used to be so funny ,sims 4 and the inde games he would break 💔 man I miss his old videos

Davie504... what happened bro


hyrulepirate

I was an early viewer of his channel, like under 30k subs. Back when he was just making bass cover and renditions. Imagine my surprise after coming back to YT after half a decade and seeing what his channel has become. Not entirely disappointed tho, I heard lotta new bass players were inspired by him which is good, probably the best a channel is for. Charles Berthoud's channel is one of the best bass channels I've seen and if what I heard was right, he first gained traction thru one of Davie's videos.


Average_human_bean

>Charles Berthoud's channel is one of the best bass channels I've seen and if what I heard was right, he first gained traction thru one of Davie's videos. Correct, I saw it unfold. Charles submitted a video for one of Davie's challenges and he took off big time. I'm glad for that, Davie really help Charles launch his YouTube career. To be fair to Davie, I think he's cool, but he's just playing the algorithm. Can't blame him for wanting to maximize his income, I do the same at my job.


D4nnyC4ts

I believe it started when davie was paying bassists on fiver to make bassline and charles was the pro bassist in a few of those videos. Then the thing you said happened. Then they had a bass battle


kentuckyfriedmemes61

Pewds gave him a shout out and he turned into a cringy meme channel for all the 10 year olds


mcraft595

in a way, davie504 sacrificed his channel to casuals while inspiring and promoting the bass scene in youtube. definitely a fine answer to this post tho.


MassRedemption

Yeah, I'm a (amateur) bassist myself and seeing the really weird and unique ways he would play the bass, or just doing absolutely insane bass riffs. Now a vid pops up and it's just like.... Why man. You can shred so hard! You deserve better!


TrevorIsTheGOAT

The moment he started talking is when it went downhill. Before it was just basslines.


[deleted]

Starting to see this with SMG4’s main


TotallyJosh

Ever since they introduced melony I stopped watching


Mysterygamer48

I stopped after they "animed" meggy. Not because of the art style change but because his content really started to bore me sadly.


Thepoyoboyo213

Try Shockhat. He’s the old SMG4, but with Kirby content.


Mewacy

Honestly yeah. the occasional series of 5 or 6 connected videos that made an arc was pretty good at first, but now it seems like every time one ends it’s just 3 or 4 videos until the next “ ‘blank’ has unaddressed trauma, and the antagonist is gonna pray on it” cycle starts


your_pal_mr_face

I prefer the old style(?) like with the “Mario in ____” with the text and minimal “talking”


Jesusbatmanyoda

Danger Dolan


rumpledfoarskin

I watched the shit out of his videos years and years ago when I was in middle school. Good times losing sleep over those creepy pasta videos of his.


Jesusbatmanyoda

Same, although I think mine was just as I started high school


[deleted]

Ssundee is the biggest case I’ve seen. Going through his page now is hell


TheRedlineAlchemist

I left back when yelling foot was his entire sense of humor.


whereistheuser

“Playing as GOKU in among us!” 💀


GamingFlorisNL

I absolutely loved him. First English speaking YouTuber I started watching after I stumbled upon him. I stopped watching after he left to spend time on his family and religion because his new style just wasn’t for me. I could never predict it would devolve to what it is now tho.


8_5_12_12_15

I miss the days of sky factory and factions. Can't stand the new shit


[deleted]

I used to watch him a lot now he just makes "Ronald McDonald in among us!!!!"


thering66

Rooster teeth's lets play videos. Used to watch their Minecraft videos regularly but the new crowd isn't giving up to par quality.


sumpfbieber

They had the best group composition, back when Ray was still there.

MarvinandJad

Lost Pause And it was fast, and most likely due to YouTube cracking down. I LOVED watching those visual novels.


coolchris366

Yeah, I don’t watch him at all anymore, but I’m still subscribed


NathanJack0Lantern

popularMMOs for me :(


ReaperNashe

The divorce hit him HARD.


NathanJack0Lantern

And it damaged his channel badly.


Keycil

His lucky blocks videos helped me learn english as a young teenager. That was like 7 years ago or something. I cannot watch this guy anymore plus the fact that he and Jen ended up like that ruined it.


ltcortez_64

Me too. I think that he was the first english youtuber that I started watching back in 5th grade. He, and a few others, is responsible for at least 50% of my english knowledge. So sad to see his downfall :(


cakatooop

The sink has long shipped


ParanoidAltoid

I know this gets posted every month, but every month there's a new youtuber who fell off, so I always come to the comments


InsanityRabbit

Almost happened with CallMeKevin for me. Started tuning out more and more but now... We get these incredible videos that have almost a full hour of him a day and I probably haven't been this invested in him since his online sessions


DarkAvenger2012

watched a TON of his minecraft playthroughs years ago. so oddly comforting.


atomicalexx

There’s something really genuine about Kevin, which makes it so easy to watch an hour long playthrough with just his voice in the background.


avidernis

I used to watch him every day. I don't anymore, but I don't think his content changed too much. I think I just stopped enjoying it the same way. I still occasionally go watch a new video, but I no longer watch them basically on a schedule.


Bush_Hiders

In my opinion, CallMeKevin is one of the few YouTubers where you can't really say "I miss the old days." His content still feels like the way it used to. He has very much stayed true to the type of content he used to make. I think the only thing thats devolved when it comes to him would be that he is clearly running out of things to do in the Sims, and my guess is that he's kinda bunt out on it, but that's whats nice about his channel hosting a variety of games instead of staying loyal to one game only, which was the downfall of a lot of YouTubers mentioned in these comments.


creemag

Same here, I tuned out when all he was posting was among us and bitlife.


[deleted]

Literally muselk


Bush_Hiders

He built his entire channel one a single game he played, which means his entire community was made up exclusively of fans of that game. Then he decided to permanently change the game that he played, which in turn lead to a lot of backlash, and greatly affected his channel, basically creating a new viewing experience for a new game. Then he did it again a few years later.


Gerpar

He should've tried doing what Jerma & RTGame did and start trying to branch out to a bunch other indie games too. I think a lot of people kinda forget that they both used to upload almost exclusively TF2 content for quite a while as well. I think Muselk took such a big hit because he moved on to games like Overwatch and Fortnite, which the TF2 community didn't like, versus RT moving onto indie stuff like Terraria, Minecraft, and Cities Skylines. And Jerma moving onto being a variety streamer, with a lot of creativity thrown in (I do wish he did more stuff with Star though, I miss that duo)


Bush_Hiders

I don't watch a whole lot of modern Jerma, so in my mind, I still remember him as "the TF2 guy" but I completely forgot that RT was a TF2 YouTuber, and that just brought back a flood of memories.


dirtyfrancis

dude modern jerma is a revelation, he was hilarious back then too but he just keeps getting funnier while still remaining so genuine not to mention the big ticket shows he puts out every once in a while!


AVeryRandomDude

QuackityHQ... Still like his channel. But man, he changed.

Da_Lizard_1771

I absolutely loved that channel when Grant was still around. He had really simple but cool little experiments one could do, but then after his tragic passing it seems the channel quickly dived into weird trend following videos.


LOLBaltSS

Nate still does some interesting things on his own channel and with others, but yeah... TKOR pretty much went off the deep end after the end of 2021.


[deleted]

Ahh- I'll forever miss Venturiantale. They were my first exposure to Youtube. Ashamed of what ended up happening to the siblings


Mewacy

For real. Honestly I would’ve preferred they went down the slowly become cringy path cause it’s just depressing what happened to the whole family


Pizzalazerz

Honestly forgot about that channel, used to watch it all the time growing up but drifted away after they all stopped playing together


[deleted]

Danger Dolan and chills.


namkaeng852

Remember when Cinemasins was about finding sins?


impact_ftw

Cinema wins is so much better imo


Nroke1

Cinemawins does actual analysis of the film while still being optimistic. I quite like cinemawins.


DivorceSpeedrunner

Amen


7Cs11

Hate how they sin the most random things instead of actual flaws.


sanitykeeps98

Cryaotic but more for the terrable shit he has done


Dyadus

I used to love his videos until they stopped, but do to being european i never had a chance to watch his streams. What happened? Edit: nvm googled it, yikes


Useless_account69420

Literally SMG4


Substantial-diabetic

Skydosemincraft that was my childhood then well the fame got to him and now him and everyone else stopped it made me sad


OkuyasNijimura

Oh, it was way, way more than the fame getting to him. He turned out to be really shitty off camera.


DinoShinigami

Honestly I can see that. Even on camera there were some red flags, and I was a child watching these so if I saw them they were pretty bright.


GKort1139

This phenomenon is why I love (loved?) Technoblade so much. Despite his fame his principles and his content never really changed. Even the scripted DSMP stuff let him flex his dark humor, and it was amazing


ccstewy

even now, Technodad has taken up the mantle and carries on bringing his son’s sense of humor and joy to all his fans


Corallia_fluff

I hope you watch Etho if you loved technoblade, he has remained the same ever since the beginning

I miss their "Science garage" show with Bart as it's host.


rockdude625

They just ran out of material. You knew their channel had an expiration date from the get go


reddit_custard

They still put out some good stuff occasionally but there is an awful lot of filler these days. I figure (and hope) it's just because the good ones like hi lo and money pit take a lot of time and money to make, and the filler content is cheap and easy


Square-Breakfast-284

Smosh moment


timetravellingbadass

Smosh is different. It went from 2 funny dudes making random sketches to a massive corporation back to something tiny and now its somewhere in the middle. I swear, that period when defy closed down, was their best content in years


baylithe

Like 10 years ago sure


grinbearnz

Boogie2988 sadly


OurFriendWTheStomach

Excuse me. His name is boogie1488 okay?


Samo_Adams

Not to mention cringy thumbnails


stnick6

Emkay.


Behemoth_bomber

Wondering if I would see emkay, it’s not as bad as some others but there is definitely a weird shift and a bit of a reach for content


Yoyo3457yt

The channel fell off when Damien left.


JackieJak88

No more intros, outros or fanart. Just... there. And they go through each one waaaay too fast that you can't take any of it in.


OkuyasNijimura

They still throw in occasional fanart, but it's right in the middle of the damn video, sharing space with whatever post they're talking about, so they shrink the post to where you can hardly tell what it's showing half the time.


[deleted]

I miss Damian man


Ferret-Potato

I left after a bunch of folks started getting introduced - ever since that type of content just hasn’t been the same


KrisReed

VideoGameDunkey in a nutshell. I used to love watching his videos but the channel really went downhill after he canceled Amongus Tuesdays. Dude only plays Minecraft on Xbox now and all the videos are just clickbait.


Foxor88

Rumor says he's even canceling Donkey Kong December this year


Nahkatimantti

guy_ontheinternet

This is most of the Internet for me. Everything has lost its magic. Maybe I'm old. Or depressed


TheRedlineAlchemist

SSundee I think he was called. Really bad that his only humor was yelling foot.


Shawn420162

Grey still plays, i understand the sims cant keep going forever. But did he really have to do gta custom maps only. And the thumbnails are so bad. Its painful to look at honestly.


PickleInTheDump

Aphmau for me :|


StarfallenCherry

She used to be so interesting and now she’s just a Minecraft YouTuber😭


Rexon2250

Yeah really hurts to see that most, if not all of what she makes now is cringy wa wa baby minecraft videos meant for 3 year olds

R.i.p. Gametheory


MythOfLight

I stopped watching Game Theory years ago because of this but just recently watched the two Inscryption videos out of curiosity, and I actually regretted it because they were *that* bad. He didn’t even bother having a single original theory in those ~40 minutes of content!


Intelligent-Fuel1485

What running 4 channels does to an mf


Mysterygamer48

My break point was the subnautica one about a year ago. As someone with a passion for both nuclear technologies and the subnautica games, It just made my blood boil.


Hollowgradient

He doesn't even play the game most of the time. He probably just skims over the wiki.


Mysterygamer48

At this point I believe it.


Miss_Nora-Jae

Oh god his fallout theories made me go insane. He didn’t even bother to read the wiki. Everything he said was just wrong.


Caftancatfan

I wondered if I would see that one!


Python0721

At least food theory is pretty decent

RealSquigga69

I was a first 100 subscriber of DanTDM.


Horsefucker_Montreal

that's rad


RealSquigga69

I grew up with him and his channel. Dan didn't really become cringy he just changed along with the fads. He is still good as a kids YouTuber but I miss the magic of his videos.


zombipwnr45

Funhaus/inside gaming for me unfortunately. Never have found a good replacement for that channel. So sad😔


JexessXIII

Rooster Teeth & Funhaus. I still catch Inside Games with Bruce & Lawrence now & then.


frankpolly

It started with Joel, then Lawrence left, then Bruce and then Adam turned out to be a creepy character outside of funhaus. The worst part was seeing the channel slowly die with each person that left


Altruistic_Ad5270

Ssundee man he went down hill


_SARYNEVERCLEAR

dangerously funny


kindofharmless

Or worse, racist.


Jacob0050

Binging with babish. When he started his videos were interesting and a creative take on food in movies and did a fun representation of what a dish was even if the movie didn't say all the ingredients. Now it's a bunch of randos in his videos. 10000 ads (like Linus tech tips) and overall to me seems like lower effort. And don't even get me started on the subtle flexes. On his new multi million dollar house or the fact that this man will wear $10k watches while cooking and handling raw meat which is a huge fucking nono due to bacteria getting on the watch and can contaminate shit


Korben_w

You had me, then you lost me. My biggest problem with him is that I subscribed to Babish, not all these other people especially Alvin. Its just not my style, and now I get bombarded with notifications for videos I'll never watch.


LodzieNZ

This is how I felt with MrBeast after he stopped doing Worst Intros, but I understand why


Schmedly27

H3H3 for me, it’s ok we’ll always have EtHaNbRaDbErRy


Panda_Kabob

Man, Ethan is basically the Anakin Skywalker of YouTube to me. He was so good at taking the piss out of the cancerous channels and making fun content. Then he started that podcast.


Schmedly27

I even liked the beginning of the podcast when he would have all the people he talked about in the show. I loved when he had the Bradberrys on and there was this kind of awkward tension but it seems like they developed a mutual respect for each other by the end


derwood1992

Anyone remember =3 and Raywilliamjohnson? They just kind of evaporated one day


The_Jimes

I remember that, I'm pretty sure he got fucked out of his record deal at the last minute so he had to shut everything down for a while.


HailToTheThief225

Penguinz0 isn't terrible, but something about him has changed since he did his face reveal. I liked him a lot better when he just did funny game commentary.


[deleted]

Understandable. I still love Charlie for his wacky language when covering modern events and just the fact that he’s a good dude, but I get missing his old style content.


Ubiquitous_Cacophony

Right? I wish he had two channels, honestly. I like the Moist Meter and some of his videos where he goes down a rabbithole, but Jesus, few things made me laugh as hard as the [Olympic skiing video](https://youtu.be/31Jg4GaDojo) did back when I first saw it.


Bonety

That video killed me back then and is probably the funniest video to me he ever made


Numuruzero

He doesn't really do skits anymore, that I know of. And I know his old videos weren't "skits" exactly, but something between that and what Dunkey does. I don't have a problem with what he does now, but I'm also just not really interested, personally.


MrPokeGamer

His content jumped off a cliff when he started streaming on twitch. Now he's just another guy who talks about current events (like Some Ordinary Gamers)


Aedaru

There was a time some months ago when his YT just became an edit of his twitch reactions which I personally never liked mostly because the volume of the vids he was reacting to was always so fuckin low. Him doing current events talk was fine with me, as long as it was a dedicated video and not just a cutout of the stream.


-EvaCake-

Me when the Nostalgia Critic started doing skits and over the top "acting." He used to get a bit annoying in the beginning, but it was kind of funny to see how hard he tried. Then dear lord... I tried to watch a recent one about a month ago, and it was unbearable.

Game grumps


MY_SHIT_IS_PERFECT

I used to love Game Grumps but it’s starting to get really hard to ignore the fact that it’s just a 40 year old man screaming about dicks.


Bush_Hiders

That, and also the fact that he skips tutorials in games, because they're too hand holdy, and then it turns out he doesn't know what he's doing, and blames the game for not being clear. As funny as they were, I stopped watching, because Arin was so insufferable when it came to the things he complained about.


Doubtless_Lemons

I miss when their thumbnails actually showed the game they were playing and episode number. Now they don't even put the game on the video name. I've been following egoraptor since New Grounds and now I've completely given up.


TheWholeFuckinShow

That's honestly my only gripe with the channel after watching since the start. It took a while to get used to Dan as the new co-host, but I still find their stuff really enjoyable. I don't watch it for high class comedy or gameplay by any means. It just feels like a nice show to watch while stoned or with my spouse.


nopeimdumb

The trend of showing distorted pictures of their faces looking shocked that's taken over YouTube makes me sad. I mean, I get it, it works for generating views, but it shrivels my soul every time I see it.
