Onision and JonTron.
Onision turned out to be a pedo, and JonTron came to believe white people are a minority and other stupid racist shit.
Also GameTheory and all subsequent spinoffs once MatPat left, becsuse despite him saying he was still gonna help out in the background, the shows all became wildly different and are very poorly researched and thought out now.
Surprised it has shown up here already but Bon Appetit. I was watching a lot of it over lockdown in 2020, and then at the end of that year the channel blew up thanks to a mass staff exodus due to discrimination.
Donut. Its corporate sellout trend-chasing temu garbage and tiktok reaction algorithm bullshit now. I just hope Nolan and Justin leave and make new channels, because I really like them as hosts, but can't bear to watch Donut.
Speeed and Big Time are pretty kick ass though.
Whistlindiesel, I already was getting bad vibes from him when he started doing literal vigelante harassment of folks, when he did a video with cops, and his fawning over the Killdozer idiot. Wrapping a lambo in Trump shit was the most "last straw" last straw in history.
Jeff Geerling, over his past homophobic blog posts, such as: https://web.archive.org/web/20210617080935/https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2011/exodus-app-%E2%80%93-pulled-app-store
Best Ever Food Review Show. I was a fan and really enjoyed the content, then they hosted Joe Rogan. I left and never looked back. Fuck Joe Rogan.
Techmoan. I used to be super into his content on old obscure stuff but it fell off a cliff for me a couple years ago. Instantly bored.
AvE when he started getting right wing preachy. Guy had a winning formula and destroyed it.
Electroboom. Similar to techmoan... Booooooring. I don't care about the outlets in whatever country you are visiting this month.
John Oliver. It's too depressing to find out what levels of depravity and corruption the ruling class is up to. I can't handle it anymore.
CinemaSins - it just became cringe
Good Mythical Morning - too 'producrd' and they started doing gross shit
Mysterious Universe (YouTube and podcast) - They became rightwing antivax, anti-abortion, anti-mask, homophobic, transphobic, racist losers over the course of 2 years after COVID.
eevblog. His constant "covid isn't so bad, people should chill. Governments are shit for trying to protect people" whining during the pandemic made me unsub instantly
A long time ago I watched DistroTube a lot. He made content about Linux and Emacs, just chatting about it into a mic. It was relaxing content.
Then one day he uploaded a video about his gun, why he has a gun and gun rights and shit. He had all sorts of dumb takes, I don't even remember. After that I just couldn't watch him anymore.
Lindybeige for being a conservative cunt and making videos about his godawful beliefs about society instead of cool history stuff he used to do
The 8-Bit Guy for his pro-gun stance. The dude literally walks in retail stores with a gun strapped to his back.
Shadiversity was a sword youtuber who would get into occasional e-drama, but still produced interesting content about medieval weaponry. Over time they started releasing pro-AI and culture war rants completely unrelated to their sword stuff. They had another channel that was more streamer/podcasty where they pandered to a right-wing crowd which I guess leaked over into their main channel.
Tom Scott - I know he's well loved and hasn't done anything bad, but he's too "British" for me and something makes me cringe with his videos and I can't quite definitively identify what it is.
I haven't ditched them yet but in less and less interested in the content LTT and Veritasium make and they seem to be heading for dropping off my subscription list.
Switch and click - when she pivoted away from mechanical keyboards then I wasn't really interested in her new content.
I do try to enjoy Tom Scott because he puts effort into his content, it's usually educational, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
But I feel that cringe element too. For me it has to do with the fact that he has such an ingratiating personality. He just wants so badly to ensure that everyone and everything is appreciated to the fullest extent and he's made completely sure no one can take anything in the wrong way. And that's a lovely attitude to have in life, but as a presentation style it also feels a bit exhausting. I still watch his videos, but in small doses. There's only so much well-intentioned earnestness I can take in one sitting.
Rainman Ray’s Repairs; he went full MAGA and basically told his audience to fuck off if they didn’t like it, so I did.
Same with Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics.
Was a subscriber to game/film/food/fashion theory since Matpap was single nerd recording in a closet. When I moved to watching on pipe pipe I didn't add them to my list. I'm not a fan of indi horror chucky cheese lore, there's no fan theory stuff at this point, and they just got too big for their genre.
Binging with Babish used to be an automatic suggestion to anyone looking to cook more. I loved that he made it accessible, fun, and owned his mistakes. It made it feel like I could do it too and that's why I can now. Now it's all rich white boi vlogs and guest cooks. I'll pass.
Doesn't matter if he never posts another video, I'm never going to unsubscribe from shoddycast. Austin is the only parasocial bond I will allow myself and I miss his content.
