Hoovies Garage - He stopped finding and fixing vehicles that I can relate to, and went to supercars I couldn't care less about.
The king of random - went from being mainly constructive to destructive. Even before Grant hired new hosts, he started to do easy break/burn/explode shit. Then he collaborated with Jake Paul and that was the stick that broke the camels back.
Pretty recently I stopped watching Oneyplays. They were a Let's Play/comedy channel in the same vain as Game Grumps and TheRunawayGuys, and they got me through some really hard times including COVID.
They were always kind of risque, but I assumed they knew their jokes were edgy, and not to be said in the real world. (to be fair, that is true with a lot of the old members)
For the last year or two though, most of the best members have left or aren't on half as much as they used to be, and they've been doubling down on their controversial jokes. Everything's "cuck this, soy that, estrogen the other" and half the "jokes" are just homophobic and racial slurs that they have to censor out afterwards. Even if you have a thick skin to that kind of stuff, it's just so repetitive and unfunny now.
Literally any and all of them. I dropped Google services in 2017.
Sounds ridiculous, but somewhat recently stopped watching Jabo cause he started censoring his videos. I can't stand it, I'm well into my 30s and you can say fuck on the Internet. I get pandering to the algorithm, but it is jarring when every other sentence has a bleep in it
With all the "AI" demonetization on yt I am not surprised some have gone a bit heavy handed.
asian ytube channel(JKNEWS), had separate for things like "party" and news. during covid they turned magaty after firing one of thier female employees after she spoke up for herself, and trying to ascertain her role on the channel. they did unprofessionally, and then another friend of the channel posted misinformation, just caused a huge backlash and people turned on them. they are still mad that the previous WOMEN employees ruined thier channel, after 5 years getting rid of her.
last i heard thier other businesses were declining and the channel are just them and thier friends ranting about maga related stuff and being elitists asf, they are desperate to keep it alive. they cater soley to incel asian men and muslim men. its actually more to the story than posted, they dont know they are just pushing the stereotype of asians everywhere. they have been a channel since the early 2010s.
one of the co-owners was asking on a video how to skirt some california employee laws(they live in LV).
the channel though they could pivot to maga-try and stay alive, ASIAN people make too small of audience, that isnt digestible outside of the demographic. they were always right wing, but they also had humility to keep them in check, until the misogyny kicked in. if you know the creepy rich guy bryan johnson(who has the peter thiel youth thing going on) one of the female guests that was heavily featured on the channel was suppose to marry him, but she got breast cancer , rare for a young person and he dumped him, she did unsuccesfully try to sue him.
