I used to follow a youtuber who slowly realized that the earnings when using her talent and profession fell short of just doing OF and showing bikini photos.

Yeah, I had to do that with Nux Taku. The guy made funny videos back in the day, but he slowly became a "Anti-woke" conservative mouthpiece. It's funny because the video that made me unsubscribe was a video of his saying how another youtuber got cancelled for being too woke.

Always has been
Have you heard about PlasmaMasterDon? I used to follow him and like every video... That was shocking!
Is that guy that pointing the gun at the other one Jordan B Peterson?

So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists... 😟
i briefly watched Onision until it dawned on me what a massive narcissistic douche he is...
How right i was
i wonder if the fame turned them into that or they were always pedos to begin with
I'd imagine it's always been there, but their fame gave them access to a devoted fanbase willing to do anything for them.
And then things just devolve...

AvE. A 3 minute video supporting the truckers "protest" gets a hard NO from me.
He's why I had to install 3rd party channel blocker because yt kept recommending his videos.

I very rarely manually subscribe or unsubscribe now, it just picks up on what I watch generally.
Resist the algorithms, we must
Resist the algorithms
Yeah I just switched to Piped/Tubular/Grayjay; you sub to who you want; no recommendations. IF someone is good enough to watch, they'll collab with their friends and you can grow that way.
The best part is, I run out of content, and I go do other things.
When subscribing does nothing and changing the bell too.
I have some Youtubers who make a video a month or once a year.
I have to follow them on discord to get the new video because youtube won't show it to me even though I have selected the highest notifications only for them.
As someone else already pointed out - yes, subscribing does do something because you can (and should) use the Subscription feed (which is below the Home and Shorts feeds on the left hand menu). This allows you to curate your own content rather than rely on algorithms. Which is not to say you can't or shouldn't use the Home feed - chances are you will run into new things that you find you like. But as it is right now, over 90%% of all video views on YouTube come from the Home feed meaning the vast majority of users are influenced by opque algorithms.
I believe most people don't even know about the Subscription feed even though its right there
My subscription feed is overloaded with Youtubers I subscribed to but don't want to watch all of their videos.
But that is probably an issue on my side.
Use the subscribe feed, not the home feed to watch your videos.
It shows your subscriptions in reverse chronological order.

This was me with Linus Tech Tips, it's just not the content i subscribed for all those years ago.
writing was on the wall after the overwork allegations, sexism allegations and nosediving quality. ltt was being run like a corporation and it was a matter of time. i left them then expecting it to tank further and it did.
