Braille Skateboarding used to be so cool. They even made it to the news in Australia with the first glass skateboard video.

Last I heard was the park was destroyed WITHOUT telling the rest of crew it was happening, so they all missed out on a final session.

Oof, for me in my world, there have been so many unfortunately.

John Kuckian, Jaclyn Hill, Jeffree Star, and more recently Raw Beauty Kristi though she's been in decline for a while.

Makeup Youtubers are something fucking else.

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.

Not really a YouTuber but I've always been curious what happened about a decade ago with Chris Ziegler from The Verge, who was an editor but then accepted a job at Apple on the side, and was then fired by both companies. He then disappeared entirely from the record and everyone got real quiet about it.

Jenna marbles

On June 25, 2020, Marbles uploaded an apology video to her YouTube channel following accusations of blackface and racism.[1][18] In the video, she addressed content in YouTube videos that she originally published in 2011 and 2012. This included an impersonation of Nicki Minaj, using offensive language and costuming towards Asians, and using derogatory language towards sexually promiscuous women

derogatory language towards sexually promiscuous women

So... She called (an imaginary?) slut "slut" and had to apologize for it?
