Same. I was there when he was small, I cheered when he got bigger. Then the channel started going down a path I didn't want to follow. Click baity titles with no info were the last straw for me.
There's a browser extension to replace click bait by user-generated descriptive titles. I always forget the name tho. It also works with Freetube.
That doesnt really matter here, I'm against those practices. I would be ok however, if he had a different channel that posted videos without clickbait, which is not the case so... yeah
Yeah I know, I just jumped on the opportunity to promote that :)

AvE. A 3 minute video supporting the truckers "protest" gets a hard NO from me.
He's why I had to install 3rd party channel blocker because yt kept recommending his videos.

So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists... 😟
i briefly watched Onision until it dawned on me what a massive narcissistic douche he is...
How right i was
i wonder if the fame turned them info that or they were always pedos to begin with
I'd imagine it's always been there, but their fame gave them access to a devoted fanbase willing to do anything for them.
And then things just devolve...
Probably caused a feedback loop. He could have grown out of being a douche, but his audience was built on him being a douche and fed that behavior.
So many of these early youtubers gave me bad vibes turned into shitheels later on doesn't surprise me.

Have you heard about PlasmaMasterDon? I used to follow him and like every video... That was shocking!
This was me with Ethan Klein/H3H3 over the past ~14ish months. Their podcast content used to be lighthearted Internet drama with funny soundbytes, but now the dude is having a major crashout about Gaza after rotting his brain with Israeli state ~~propaganda~~ media coverage. He's always been an out-of-touch rich asshole, but now he's so far out of pocket it's unbearable to watch.
His wife is Israeli isnt she? I also thought they were pretty anti israel and she tried turning away from that life... I havent watched any of his videos since the "hugh mungus" era so I've no clue.

I very rarely manually subscribe or unsubscribe now, it just picks up on what I watch generally.

Yeah I just switched to Piped/Tubular/Grayjay; you sub to who you want; no recommendations. IF someone is good enough to watch, they'll collab with their friends and you can grow that way.
The best part is, I run out of content, and I go do other things.

Always has been
"Hey George, like and comment on my videos again."
"Sure, Lenny, I'm gonna write a real nice comment on your latest video right now." *sniffle*
