There was a van life de-influencer called Dave2D (not the computer one) who lived in a van and demonstrated the harsh realities of living full time in a van, while also mocking and exposing van life influencers who made it look glamorous, and called out those who were obviously just living in a house and pretending to be living in vans for the insta. He regularly made fun of those vanlife couples, especially when they inevitably broke up, until a very famous recently single vanfluencer killed herself after enduring lots of harrassment by his followers, and then Dave2Ddeleted almost all his videos.
Then he moved into a car with a puppy in LA and someone stole his catalytic converter while he was sleeping in the car, then he moved to a tiny cabin in Montana and transitioned to painting on Livestream, and now as far as I know he has no presence on YouTube.
