The Completionist. Socials went private and any videos finished but unreleased had the artwork changed so it wasn't obviously from the channel.
Some others that came to mind is ProJared with the sexts, but he eventually defended his side and continues to post new videos, and the controversy from the Nostalgia Critic group during the ChangeTheChannel campaign
Oof, watching The Completionist's fall was an emotional rollercoaster. I liked the guy well enough and he seemed to be doing well right up until that unfortunate G4TV reboot.
Attached to the new G4TV was one Frosk, an e-sports commentator who was opinionated as all hell and boy, she would NOT let you forget it. Long story short, apropos of nothing, she had a spectacular meltdown on the channel and she did so by blaming fans for all kinds of things. The Completionist, along with all other members of the channel took a hit in subscribers on G$ and their respective channels simply through the virtue of being affiliated with Frosk. Not really their fault.
But THEN in 2023 it came to light that he was lying about donations to charity and really, that's when I stopped following him completely. Kind of hard to defend that.
For sure. Boogie2988 has had a pretty spectacular fall as well.
