You're probably not a stranger to the concept of a content creator. In fact, you likely have certain channels or pages that you like or even are a dedicated fan of.
So, you probably know the pain of watching the creator you like slowly losing their spark or just losing quality in their content. And sometimes there's nothing else left to do but to unsubscribe. Today, let's take a journey through various YouTubers people think fell off and see if we agree with these opinions.

MrBeast obviously, you spent a thousand j*zzbillion dollars on recreating the set of some show and one of your three friends gets another house? Eh.
He’s a sociopath. I’ve said it from the beginning and finally people are starting to realize he’s a complete freak
You are absolutely right, but Psychopath is the word. Sorry for being pedantic but I am tired of ppl flipping the words Psychopath and Sociopath. Sociopaths feel. That thing hired a convicted pedophile to work with him in a channel made mostly for children. That things does not feel.
Load More Replies...The only thing I don't understand is how anyone thought he was ever good.
Always thought he was weird. I saw one (1) video of him where he helps 100 deaf people with getting hearing aids or implants or something, and I immediately noticed that the way the deaf people acted was SO staged - not to say that they weren't really deaf, but like they had been told to be extremely dramatic about the situation. Like, Pimp My Ride-dramatic. It feelt so unreal. Even the thumbnail was extremely off-putting: Mr Beast giving a thumbs up next to a kid with tears of joy edited in his eyes.
When he created his own version of Squid Game, a show about desperate people being taken advantage of rich for their own enjoyment. Either he's lacks any self-awareness or he's a giant ahole for getting the show and just going through with his version anyways. And, no, exploiting the needy for content even if there is some positive outcome is not okay. Why not just do that anyways with you immense wealth? Oh, because then you couldn't have sponsors and ads fund your "charity".
I have never once watched a Mr. Beast video. I'm not even sure what he does...
Infographics. Started out being informative, turning into propaganda and ludicrous what if scenarios. Kurgesagt does the same but much better.
100% agree, a lot of their "info" changed into being dead a*s wrong.
Joshua Weissman. He used to make great cooking videos, explaining everything about the techniques ( when most youtubers just show a recipe without explaining anything ). Now he's just tasting food from fast foods and testing some bad kitchen gadgets.
The day is February 14th, 2005. It’s the day a new social media and online video sharing platform, YouTube, is founded by former employees of PayPal – Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim, and Steve Chen. Little did they know that their platform would change the world as we know it.
Sound dramatic? Well, let’s admit it – YouTube did really cause a cultural shift, didn’t it? Now, 20 years later, it’s still the second most visited website in the world (with only Google beating it).
Donut Media has been getting there… all I wanted was more up to speed episodes, and wheel house episodes, and they ditched all that for a lot of reaction videos and silliness..
Joe Rogan if I have to be honest….
If a single person can justify to me the hatred this guy gets on this website i would be happy to learn. What I am expecting is a bunch of downvotes and no one saying anything remotely sane or analogous with reality... And no i am not american nor am i maga nor am i a libtard or based or woke etc... I take those brands as a badge of honor lately. It helps me know i have no fallen into some extremist cult mindset...
He is still brilliant i would say. It is just alot of culty unga bunga ppl on BP seem to be painting him as this demon figure for reasons i dont understand. You see i was assured he was a racist homophbic n**i sympathiser etc etc... None of it is real... Again typical USA unga bunga that i really wish they wake up from as they are ruled ON ALL SIDES by pedophiles... (Regarding how all of them have participated in the Epstein cover-up) What i mean by "dont understand" is how PPL fall for this mob mentality OVER AND OVER AGAIN! His videos are up... Anybody can confirm the unhinged claims... But they never do... They just follow along throw the excommunication words and brand ppl as toxic personaliies to be shunned... Cus their cult/echo chamber on the internet says so...
Anyone remember Crazy Russian Hacker?
As of 2024, the site had over 2.7 billion monthly active users, who were collectively watching more than a billion hours of videos daily.
Still, no matter how much content is being watched, just as much, if not more, is uploaded constantly – in May 2019, videos were being uploaded at a rate of over 500 hours of content per minute. In mid-2024, it was estimated that the site hosted around 14.8 billion videos in total. Impressive numbers, aren’t they?
YouTube isn’t only a simple site to watch videos, but for some, it’s a full-time job. And we’re not talking about people who are responsible for the site’s functionality or the business itself; we’re talking about those whose job is creating those videos – YouTubers.
Good Mythical Morning. Was fun for a while, but you can only watch so many of their videos before they start to get stale. And I’m absolutely sick of them pushing their mythical merch in every episode.
Personally, I think the guy with the shorter hair looks like such an a*****e with that s****y hair. Like, does he know that as a content creator he doesn't HAVE to look like a d*****t? And from the few clips I've watched of them, it feels like they absolutely loathe other and there's a barely under the surface want to just go at it and fight each other.
Darling, you're apparently so ugly you hide behind the picture of a cat. Going after somebody's looks is the last you should do. Also, it's a cr/ap thing to do when we're talking about content. FFS, how hold are you, 12?

Most of the theory channels (style, game, movie, food)
Binging with Babish.
Is that about Star Wars Theory? 😁 Idk how he was at the beginning, but now he's an embodiment of the worst aspects of the Star Wars fandoms with AI a*******n and seriously punchable face.
Ugh, Babish annoys me so much because he's trying SO hard to be hilarious, meanwhile he's just whining about food that he thinks can't be tasty, only to discover that SURPRISE it's delicious
RoosterTeeth. Stopped watching them years ago but finally unsubbed the other day, their channel used to be iconic in the 2010's sad days.
How old is this post, RT was closed by WB last year, but Burns is supposedly bringing it back
As long as RWBY is around, I don't really care for the rest of RT. Bored me to tears.
When a person starts off in this profession, usually it’s not profitable – it takes time to build a following that interacts with your content. Interactions, like views, likes, and subscriptions, are what bring in the money, most of the time. There’s this thing called the YouTube Partner Program, where people can monetize their content when they fit the criteria, and depending on how successful it is, make money off it.
Granted, this program isn’t the only way to make a profit while YouTubing – a content creator can also take on sponsorships of various companies, which pay them pretty large sums of money. Only the creators must be cautious of what sponsorships they sign up for, as there have been a handful of stories where some sponsors turned out to be scams, terrible companies, and things like that.
The fall of Shadiversity was unfortunate but certainly poetic, in a shakespearean tragedy sort of way.
His political views aside, at some point he just stopped to do interesting history videos and I have zero interest in “sword content”
i only know he "wrote" a bunch of AI fantasy books and is generally a bit of a tool
Load More Replies...Indeed. Watched him regularly back in the day, but now he's all but insufferable.
Linus Tech Tips for me.
Watched one of his videos once, and just found him instantly unlikeable.
“Watch as I use tens of thousands of dollars of equipment you’d swap your 1st born for”. Pity too as he used to do some really cool videos repurposing old enterprise kit for home /sme use.
MKBHD. Dude looks so bored with tech. All hail Dave2D!
Just started sub to Dave2D. Used to watch mkbhd, but was boring, perhaps?
A few examples of such cases would include Honey, the coupon-finding system that was a pretty prevalent sponsor back in the day. Later, it was found out that the way this system worked was pretty scammy – codes not working, stealing commissions, and stuff like that. This caused many YouTubers to turn away from the company and apologize to their viewers.
Another questionable sponsor is BetterHelp – a site for mental health services. Many creators used to recommend it, and some still do. Yet, the legitimacy of this service has been questioned, as there have been scandals related to privacy concerns, misleading users, and transparency.
Asmongold, dude appears to be losing his d**n mind...
He was always a crazy gross bigot. You can literally tell he's like that from the beginning. Anyone who still watched him was just as hate filled.
Wow... Read what you said. And leave your church/culty political fight. Cus full of hatred is what i read in your comment.
Load More Replies...I could be wrong, it has been alot of years since I played world of warcraft, but I think he did gaming content that even casual players, like me, could find entertaining.
Load More Replies...Ohh is that why he is calling out trump for his Pedophile files coverup? CUs he is Maga? Culty ppl use these words as a sort of equivalent to "blasphemer" "infidel" "Kafer(infidel in arabic)" Ask yourself why? Why are you into the cult mindset? DO you even know anything about this guy? The pattern to clear to me. Two sides in the USA that hate eachother SO MUCH! That they project this fight on others. Only explanation i get for this. The hate joe rogon gets too! It is so clear to me that i am doubting the sentience of some ppl... Legit feels like there is no thought behind words and actions for many. Just following the mob...
Load More Replies...he has been for years lmao. the ffxiv community got fed up with him a while ago
Look at the numbers and is view count. Are you on the same planet?

Cinema sins, his voice is f*****g annoying.
I consider CinemaSins a catalyst of the era where we just... can't enjoy things. Now we watch either ~ironically~ or with the intention to tear apart every little flaw = borderline hatewatching. I miss the times we got all crazy about The Mummy because while it wasn't technically perfect, it was just d**n FUN flick.
I only enjoyed their first few videos. They started making them longer and longer and most of the sins changed from movie mistakes and clever observations into repetitive catchphrases (*actress name* isn't my girlfiend in this scene) and most of the "mistakes" were either things explained later in the movie or just them not paying attention. Then they would say it's all satire and the sins are wrong on purpose when called out. Videos about movie mistakes can be fun. Videos about imaginary movie mistakes? Not so much.
Mark Rober aka Mr Beast Lite.
Lots of stuff about CrunchLabs, but he is doing science and engineering for kids. I still like the way he reaches out to them so much.
I still loved the way he showed the poor performance of Tesla full self driving mode. The test was right out of a Looney Toons cartoon.
Sometimes, YouTubers getting involved with controversy makes their viewers turn away from them, as they don’t want to support someone who is getting paid off by questionable firms.
Yet, sponsorships are far from the only reasons why even the most loyal fans turn away from their beloved content creators. Sometimes it’s scandals, which there have been quite many of throughout the years. Other times, it’s simply content losing quality or just getting boring/stale.
That’s what today’s list is all about – YouTubers who lost loyal fans due to the decrease in quality. Check it out, and if you have any more examples, make sure to leave them in the comments!
H3, Boogie2988.
Mrwhosetheboss, his calm focused and fun tech videos have devolved into straight up low-attention a million things all at once garbage, it has been gradual but watching any random old video of his makes it obvious
This goes for most of YouTube.
Jim sterling was always an a**ehole but he played into it and could be quite funny. Then the humour went and he was just an a**ehole.
"My subscribers are dropping since I came out as non binary"
No you have become insufferable. However your identify is not the problem.
He made his sexuality centrepiece of his channel, things went downhill from there.
Angry Video Game Nerd.
I might be aging myself but does anyone remember Matthew Santoro.
He still uploads the exact same s**t to this day.
I used to like him, until I discovered that he didn‘t fact check properly. Once I even messaged him about something where he didn‘t have all facts - a case where he painted a groom in a really bad light which wasn‘t justified at all - but I never got a reply and neither did he ever correct that one. That’s when I stopped watching.
Star Wars Theory, my god he's become insufferable.
I was expecting to find him here 😅 Alternative: Star Wars Explained. That dude is SO wholesome and radiates genuine love for everything Star Wars, and even when he's dissapointed with something he can express it in a civil way - unlike the bantha poodoo above.
Demolition Ranch.
I haven’t unsubbed because I still like him and he’s a good dude but Jacksepticeye. I haven’t watched one of his videos in years, not that he’s been uploading much at all anyway. Which I get, mental health is important, and he’s got the passive income from his back catalog to live comfortably, so more power to him, and I wish him the best.
GrayStillPlays.
He used to be hilarious when he was just playing games and the funny bits happened when he honestly made a dumb mistake, then once he realized people liked that sort of content his videos started becoming increasingly braindead to the point that I just couldn't watch anymore.
MXRMods.
He used to be super fun and did a ton of Skyrim modding content.
Then he found it he made way more or the same but much easier to work by just reacting to content with his girlfriend.
Actually they are, pseudo back on YouTube (using a loophole) They're shooting content, and it's being uploaded by a third party, the person who actually owns the channel. Channel MxRDoesntPlay Something like that. Also I don't know where you got the information from but they are Most assuredly Still Together.

I might get s****d for this, but Markiplier. But I don’t think it’s because he’s changed in anyway, I just think I’m no longer interested in his style of content. I get more enjoyment out of other mediums now.
Yes, you will get shít for this, and for good reason. You can all of mine, actually. Mark's a great dude and his content is still high-quality.
Well said. I get that sometimes people's tastes change though. But mark is so genuinely lovely.
Load More Replies...Hey I hate these certain entertainers but I'm going to give little to no reason why. What a great list!
Nostalgia Critic doesn't count? Perhaps he was never any good in the first place.
I may be old and silly, but I have no idea who these were and so I hoped for some more "they used to make this content but now it's just....".
