I still like all of the YouTubers I watch regularly. That being said, one YouTuber I used to like but lost all respect for and stopped watching is Larry Bundy Jr. I've only seen him on the Co-Optional podcast recently, what did he do ? Apart from joining in with TB in taking the piss out of Top Trumps which is unforgivable. He has (or at least had) an unhealthy obsession with Chris-Chan, going so far as writing the Chris-Chan Encyclopedia Dramatica page and actually interviewing Chris-Chan, the video of which is on his channel. What annoyed me the most though was how he laughed during the interview. As I've said before, laughing at Chris-Chan's disgusting behaviour is one thing, but laughing at his lack of social skills, which is an autism symptom, is not on. Not only that, but if I remember rightly, a lot of the comments he made replying to people on the video showed that he is ignorant about what autism is in general. Either way, knowing he contributed to ED (in my opinion a site that calls itself a comedy site, but is actually a thinly veiled hate site) and the overall obsession he had with Chris-Chan led me to stop watching his videos.

I'll jump on the Nostalgia Critic bandwagon
Without Fail I would watch his videos every week, some were better than others but I still use to enjoy them.
Slowly but surely though I've began to lose interest, and since his return I've only watched a small few, The dude really comes across as his own biggest fan and repeats the same jokes sometimes as if to say to us "you WILL find this funny!!"
I actually prefer his reviews where his just Doug Walker.
Never really gotten into the whole TGWTG thing anyway, the only other one I've started watching recently is Todd in the Shadows. Other than that, eh.

Critic.
Egoraptor, Egoraptor, Egoraptor.
I loved Egoraptor and JonTron, then the Game Grumps happened and I loved it even more. Then the split, still loved Jon's work, dug Danny...but Ego grew more & more unbearable to tolerate listening to.
He's just...an idiot. And, kind of a massive dick of a tool.
Like, it seems like he's really allowed GG to get flanderized and doesn't give a shit, and just wants his fans' money, going through the motions to pump out videos and get it.
He's somewhat transparent in the degrees he's willing to whore his creation & himself out to "build an empire" and/or make some cash, which makes him all the more grating. Then tries to play the victim whenever someone presents legitimate criticism to him about his work or himself.
These days, I watch TwoBestFriends and Steam Train if I want to watch something similar to GG. Even if the latter is somewhat falling under the umbrella of Ego's attempts to make the GG thing it's own little faction.

Nerd Cubed, used to like his videos alot but now he just seems to come across as an asshole He's one of the ones who immediately turned comments off as soon as the new system came in. To be honest the comments are back normal now. But he's showed contempt for his commentators before so I doubt he will turn them back on. Plus he sounds exactly like The Gaming Lemon, someone who has real comedy talent.

I find it strange that so many people are saying NerdCubed. I've watched almost every video he's done, and I personally think that he's only gotten better and better. I certainly don't notice any negative change.
I also disagree with all the Game Grumps mentions. I really enjoyed them when they were a few months old, and I still enjoy them just as much now.

I've completely stopped watching Game Grumps because of how blatant he's become with "Make jokes we can put on a t-shirt", at least when he actually manages to stop beatboxing for three seconds.

Spoony up until that whole fiasco came around. I'm all for separating the man from the performer, but I don't think this applies to him because they are one in the same.
Nostalgia Critic I would watch religiously but then I just became burnt out with his act. Now I see his videos are over thirty minutes long sometimes due to the unnecessary fluff he injects.
Nowadays I just watch Todd in the Shadows, Two Best Friends Play, and James Rolfe's material (AVGN aside, but I am looking forward to the movie).

He isnt really doing anything special that isnt being offered anywhere else, I can see him slowly isolating his viewers and eventually pushing them to seek out people that seem to appreciate their fan base.

Egoraptor doesn't do the Awesome series anymore. Therefore, I stopped paying attention. Spoony doesn't yet about TNA. Therefore, I stopped paying attention. Don't know if this can be brought up with the subject matter of his videos, but there was this science/atheist youtuber named Thunderf00t, I think he's still there making videos. Very well spoken, intelligent man and the guy is legitimately a doctor as well. But, I feel the youtube fame got to him (and I did say youtube fame, of all things). He was this great voice for rational and honest discussion, but when he would be wrong, rational and honesty discussion was out the window. He started to make up things about other people, threaten lawsuits to people making fun of him, among other things. Even little bits of fame could go to your head. Another atheist youtuber is TheAmazingAtheist. I can agree or disagree with some of the things he says, but what made me stop watching him was the fact that he's a bum. Despite his large subscriber base, he was begging for money from his followers, and that was a big annoyance of mine. He also produced this DVD of his life and it was $50, like, really? Colt Cabana's Wrestling Road Diaries was $30, and he's done something in life besides sit in front of the computer. His camera man was doing the same thing as well, and asking for money to watch his girlfriend give him a blow job online. Any man who thinks he can be a religious authority on the interwebs is, by his very nature, going to have serious narcissistic issues.

It was one of the shittiest videos he has ever done, so while I like the Awesome videos, I hope he gets a better idea for one. That, and maybe a friggin Sequelitis.

I thought the first one was funny. But the second one...great crap on a crutch it was dumb.

Will I get blasted for saying AVGN? I used to watch him religiously, and I'll still watch an old video of his for nostalgia every now and then, but I guess the humour wore off as I got older. I prefer his out of character videos these days. That being said, I'll still be first in line for his movie. You know, I had another answer, but THIS. A thousand time this. The Lloyd Kaufman video was totally cringeworthy, I'd rather watch James and Mike Play every week. For me, it's Shay Carl. I liked them when my wife started watching, until they started using their videos and podcasts to preach Mormonism. I really don't want to need to be preached to, but more power to them for being happy.

Smosh is the only one that I really stopped watching. I don't think it was so much that their content got worse, rather then me getting older and my tastes evolving.

I prefer Danny Sexbang to JonTron in Grumps. Mostly because I got bored of the never-ending Sonic 06 LP. (For comparison: BrainScratchComms had a 50 episode LP of S06 that ACTUALLY FINISHED THE GAME)
As for PewDiePie: You know something's up when even Rythian from Yogscast (who's technically his colleague as part of Polaris) says he doesn't care.
Also, Archfiend. He was good when he was ripping on Shane Dawson's transparent view-whoring attempts, but bitching at AngryJoe and Linkara for actually wanting to earn money from their dayjob is bullshit.

As far as Game Grumps goes, I totally prefer the new formats. Danny and Ross are awesome (Yes, even Ross), plus four player Steam Trains can be chaotic fun at times. Plus, no over-long and pointless incomplete games!

Most people on TGWTG that I used to watch I just don't anymore. I used to watch Linkara all the time, but haven't watched one of his in ages since there's there's not been a comic that I've been interested it (and his "play my ads but don't watch them because f*** the people paying me" video didn't really help matters). I'll sometimes watch the NC stuff, and go back and watch older material, but not as often. I'll watch the counter monkey videos, assuming they're actually stories, since I still find them interesting. All the others I just stopped watching.
Game Grumps is sometimes great, particularly when it's a one-off or short series. But they sort of suck at videogames, at least when doing the show, so it can get grating in a long series as they'll usually waste entire episodes getting nothing at all done. But then they'll release a video like Amazing Frog and draw me back in.
I don't think there's any other videos I followed regularly. I mean, I watched AVGN, but his stuff was always really hit or miss for me.
