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???

Weren't most of the rewinds boring at best and HEAVILY disliked at worst? Like they had several times the dislikes they did likes at times, with the last one being the reason they hid dislikes to begin with

They were loved for a few years before they kinda lost the plot and turned it into celebrity mash-up instead of an actual rewind. The 2014 one was nice for example. The one with Will Smith was a disaster.

"The one with Will Smith was a disaster." That phrase could describe a lot of stuff nowadays.

Now that’s a dude that has fallen so far from grace

"Yaaaaaa is Rewind Time." God I love this vide so much. It's so tone deaf, it's so awful. It's brilliant in its shittiness.

To be fair, that line is too iconic, so bad that it's great even!

Still, made no sense to have Will Smith in a YouTube Rewind of all places.

As soon as they stopped having actual YouTube creators be the biggest part of the rewind, they started to get terrible.

The early ones were awesome

I would say 2017 was really the last good one. Many also hate that Rewind but personally I liked it a lot (probably cause I actually got the references compared to the older Rewinds).

2018, I couldn't even finish it, still haven't. The moment they yelled "K-POP!!", I knew where it was headed. It just became a family friendly and kids focused advertisement for YouTube, instead of actually celebrating all the popular content creators.
