Dr. Disrespect, there was a couple year period where the insane, over-the-top masculinity shtick was entertaining to me. Eventually I drifted away from the games that brought me to him in the first place.
Very recently, news broke that he had sexually explicit conversations with a minor on twitch.
King of Random til he died, veritasium, john greene and his brother, and that goofy dude that likes to play dumb around electricity

You're probably talking about Electroboom, but also check out StyroPyro. Especially now, guy needs the views, he's going through some serious medical issues. Probably my favorite YouTube channel that exists.
MatthiasGaming: I felt like when he got bigger his personality changed, it almost became like a show/fake persona.
Arumba: Became a cranky unhappy person unfortunately..
A fewl (I don't want to give a platform): Became angry biggots:X
Jesse Cox/Pewdie Pie/Markiplier: outgrew the sense of humor/entertainment.
TLDR: Usually some change in personality alienated me.
Most beauty "influencers"
I watched them before they were "influencers", and then I couldn't trust the products they were using or recommending.
I watched an Irish tech reviewer because I wanted to support local, he was decent and would have relevant info regarding pricing and release windows.
Noticed he was getting abit whiny and doing some oddly focusef videos but I made no conscious decision to stop wtching.
Remembered him a few years ago and he is gone fucking nuts with this mad US centric Trump conservative nonsense. It is honestly nearly laughable only for it is so aggressively hateful.
I get really close to pressing the button for anyone who is talking of anti-corporate speech or pro-privacy then goes into joining their Discord chatroom to slap you in face with hypocrisy.
Two Best Friends Play / Super Best Friends. Because some of them stopped being best friends and only pushed forward through a professional working relationship until even that became too strained for them to continue. π₯
Lindybeige was a formative part of my early nerd life. Unfortunately he's a conservative and it's a big part of his personality. I do totally agree with him about the British pound being superior to the decimalized euro though. I would literally beat someone to death if it would give me the opportunity to rearrange the values of dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies into something based around a highly composite number like 240 or 360
Absolutely. I never cared for his political stuff. Get that shit out of here. Just geek out on historic stuff, but please no more misogynist social darwinist garbage...
The hot wings first we feast channel
It's entertaining but I got tired of the premise
Crazy-Russian-Hacker was one of the first ones I saw. I remember one of the first things I searched on YouTube or the internet was "science experiments" and he had some pretty interesting ones back then. Later though he went on doing product and MRE reviews then I stopped watching him after a while.
Tobuscus was goat but then he got accused of something by his ex or whatever, never cared much about it, but he disappeared and now he just writes books or something. He was one of the old school GOATs next to MatPat, Markiplier, ERB. Sadly missed.
All gaming YouTubers, except for Byze. I canβt stand screaming every 5 seconds for no reason anymore. Iβm getting old
We used to watch a lot of game theory. Really enjoyed the over analysis. Stopped part way down the 5 nights at Freddie's rabbit hole when all the drama started.
Forgotten Weapons: Used to have videos on very cool old guns with interesting historical backgrounds and whatever. Then he made a series of selfish decisions that demonstrated what kind of person he really was, and I no longer had any interest in even helping him through the algorithm.
Mrwhosetheboss. Dude seems like he sniffs a line before every video. I'll probably need to watch one of his videos right now to explain more reasons but it's just not something I would like to watch now.
Day9. Though I just rewatched a funday Monday from episode 200 or 300 and it was just as amazing and fun as it was back over a decade ago.
I watched newer stuff he still seems to be a great guy.
All of them.
Hyperbolic but there is some truth there
Upisnotjump. It's just not my thing anymore
I was into the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses community about 15 years ago, I watched NostalgiaCritic every week, and tye Spoony Experiment often as well as some other channels.
When Doug killed his NC character and tried to start a new series with a character based of a failed movie director, I stopped watching, then I saw a video about the drama at tgwtg and lost all interest in the team.
I have watched one or two video from them since when NC was revived, but it is completely uninteresting now.
