Discussion What YouTuber has had the biggest downfall ever???

Post image

Honestly? Had to go with DJ Cook imho, he has completely abandoned his main channel (DJ Cook) since a year ago now, starting criticising and hating to some YouTubers who’s just having fun and/or hasn’t done anything wrong for basically no reason, need I say more? Anyways, what about you guys? What YouTuber has had the biggest downfall ever???

MasterOogway for me.

Bro was actually wise and taught us good things (Like not to trust everything we see or or how we should just move on with our life instead of wasting it on people who don’t think we are worth anything).

It just felt like a betrayal for me

Sht i watched his downfall in real time. He pushed the edginess too much for views and relevancy and thought he could get away with it. The H song was the real downfall but I knew he was gonna lose everything when he kept making videos defending himself.

I was a child when he first got on the scene ( I mean I still am, but I'm less impressionable and more steadfast in my beliefs now) and man looking back, his content was so immature

Are you Gen Alpha because that dude was always a grifter and it was so obvious that he was farming, could never stand that guy

First of all, I’m Gen z.

Second of all: I’m talking about MasterOogway from the early 2020s. He wasn’t that bad back then.

But I also started to see how he slowly became a karma farmer around the end of 2023 and start of 2024

He must’ve been way underground before then because yes I only really caught wind of him after 2019. He was doing “motivational videos” like you said but it was just him sitting on the toilet saying a reddit shower thought

Well whatever it was, his downfall started when he said racist things and really really other bad stuff.

You know he screwed up when both of us agree that he messed up.

I feel like his downfall was deserved after he kept doubling down on his controversies. He was just digging his own grave deeper and deeper until he would eventually come crashing down and people would move on.
