Is there a YouTube channel based on actual rabbit holes?

Reading this thread makes me all the more depressed about what happened to Lindsey Ellis. One of the best youtubers was bullied and harassed over a stupid tweet to the point where she had to quit while so many of these dipshits still have an audience. Honestly, I find it really hard to feel bad for Ellis over that. Considering that she and her mates had no problem encouraging and participating in such behavior against others. youtu.be/AOMFTjzdFnw

I ended up watching some of those drama videos on Cinemassacre (Okay like two talking about Kieran's streams talking about his departure from Screenwave). And I never thought it would be one of Justin's old Underbelly pals, Newt. Who wrote that Monster Madness script

I checked out these two last night: youtu.be/Zj96MSKcON4youtu.be/fycCXSqF66oThe first one is the much more concise and better video. But the second one goes over more examples and more detail on some stuff addressed in the first video. I’m definitely more of a fan of the shorter videos that just feature voiceovers covering whatever the topic is along with some visual aides. For these informative pieces no one needs to see whoever made the video talking in front of a nondescript background.

I don’t trust any YouTuber that leans super heavy into being “wholesome”. Gus Johnson’s whole image was that, then it turns out he was verbally abusive to his girlfriend, Abelina Sabrina, another YouTuber. While she was almost dying in hospital from an ectopic pregnancy, he prioritized getting drinks with friends rather than being there for her. There’s a bunch of other nasty stuff too that I’d rather not recap.
On the positive side, Eddy Burback stopped working with him and cut their friendship entirely. Very surprising considering how most people turn a blind eye to that kind of behaviour.

Not disgraced publicly, but a huge example of how YouTube fame is essentially fleeting and how they dug their own metaphorical pit, is Bart Baker. Baker, at one point, was one of the hardest working Youtubers with the parodies he wrote and shooting videos to go along with them, he rose fast and fell off even faster, and IIRC, he might even be the biggest content creator to fall victim to the YouTube "Ad-pocalypse," there were other personal reasons as well,
but Baker did manage to acquire a huge following in China (how he got it, I won't say, because it might be controversial), he did try to recoup some of his YT fame and announced he would be going back to parodies when he returned to the states in '21, but nothing has come of it since.

There are some people still raging online that Spoony vanished and didn't make a movie.

One I don't see mentioned but we watched happen over the course fo a few years was Afterprisonshow.
Channel started off as the main guy,fresh out of prison,trying to restart hsi life. Was vlogg stuff then he did a video showing how in prison he made a tatto gun and that video exploded.
Soon this guy was making enough off the channel to not work. And then the cracks started appearing.
Joe,the host,was big about hiring ex cons to work the various business he started. Like he had a lawn care business. Had 2 or 3 zero turn mowers,all the other equipment you wanted. And employed a few guys fresh out of prison to do the work. Joe also was buying and flipping houses. Using mostly ex cons to do the work.
All appeared good. Then we learn Joe was payiing these guys minimum wage or less. Prone to yelling nad throwing stuff. And a pile of the guys ended up back on drugs.
VIews started dropping. Joe tried a few things tokeep views up. Then the guy that helped him film and edit when joe was fresh out of prison releases a video. Where Joe's girlfriend,met her while he was in prison she was in a few of hte early vids,talks about how Joe beat her a few times and was verbally abusive. And included footage of Joe just being a total asshole to his cameraman.
Pretty much since then the channel has been going down and down and ddown. Last time i checked Joe got a normal job. Is married and might do 3 videos then takes weeks moonths off.
And I started watching the channel cause it was lock down and i was looking for ramen reciepes. Afterprisonshow had a pile of ramen dishes they made. A few weren't bad.

There are some people still raging online that Spoony vanished and didn't make a movie. I mean if you contributed money to it, I can understand.

Smosh had a running gag for a brief moment about how many of the guests they had on turned out to get cancelled.
Right around the time they found out about Gus

But if someone essentially stole from you, you don't just forget about it no matter how much time has passed. I'm willing to bet that there were people who weren't making a great deal of money who donated and then someone skips town with it? No apology either. If anything, Spoony went through a phase where he was complaining that others weren't doing more for him.

I kind of put up with a lot more of Spoony's shit than I probably should have but I think my, "Nah, f*** this guy," breaking point was when he responded to some mass shooting or other in a church with something like, "Looks like their prayers didn't help." Like regardless of your opinions on religion that's just a horrific thing to say.

Spoony is basically the definition of a malcontent. Dug himself a hole saying stupid shit and overpromising, and then couldn't get back out of it. I've never been a fan, but I think he's definitely an example of someone who got too big for his own good, but not big enough to buy his way out of it.

OnlyUseMeBlade was pretty popular for his COD skills for awhile, enough to become a minor celebrity and make a living off of streaming back when YouTube was young.
As more and more people realized there was money to be made in streaming themselves playing video games, the level of play rose and OUMB got left in the dust.
So he started doing "drunk streams" where people could pay him to take shots while playing games, then he graduated to doing IRL streaming while also getting obliterated as hell.
These days he's best know for being a diabetic with a toe rotting off and holes in his legs who continues to drink.
As you might expect of a guy who's spent most of the last 15 years or so getting wasted and filming it, there's also tons of clips of him sexually harassing women, saying racist and homophobic stuff, being verbally abusive to strangers and friends alike, etc.

I didn't know where else to put this, but the John Campea show, which had been downsizing for a while, has switched from in-vision to strictly just a podcast to disguise the reality the money is all gone and the producers have all left, plus the fanbase really didn't appreciate John's initial idea to retire the show from Youtube and place it behind a paywall.

These YouTube types seem to to have an real problem not asking 14 year-olds in DMs to do sexual stuff.
