Youtubers teetering on the edge of cowdom - Who is next to fall from grace, and why?

I'd say that Fran Blanche needs to stop livestreaming, but livestreaming seems to be part of the current year YouTuber business model... but if Fran is trying to attract more viewers to the livestreams, reheating the hottest takes probably isn't the way to go about it.

 
I’ve been kicking around the idea of making a solid thread of Derek MPMD or Greg Doucette.
Derek because while I wouldn’t exactly call him a lolcow, he is intensely fascinating and there’s just enough mystery around him that it could be fun, not to mention his extended universe like Leo or GLL. What we do know for sure is pretty funny, and again paints a very interesting story. I can’t even find his last name, stage photos, etc, but his blog and channel is ripe for the picking.
As for Greg, he’s just so annoying and involved in so much drama.
 
The thread was talking about Linus in feb, but he just went on the wan show to cry over his lab project failing essentially.

Linus seems a tad drunk / raving on the current Wan show calling out little things his employees do & crying about his lab failing etc
Geez, the lab cost 13 million CAD ($10.3m USD). And it wasn't cash on hand, they financed it. That's a hell of a gamble for a single company almost entirely dependent on YouTube.

Info around 37:00. He's explaining a letter to his Floatplane people and says they have about 21k subscribers over there, and they will be "increasingly reliant" on them for revenue as he expects the lab reviews to piss off hardware sponsors. That's an even bigger gamble, undercutting a main revenue stream and relying on a bespoke streaming platform.
Also he just built TWO servers for dream. One petabyte server. aka 1000 tb or 1 million gb. Another using SSD storage at 100=gb. SSD storage is still pretty fucking expensive. So to build a server with just SSD driver is ridulously expensive. Same with a petabyte server. A 18tb drive is around $330 currently. So a petabyte would be around 55 drives. At 60 drives, plus a few in case some die in the future, that around 20 grand for the drives alone.

I've wanted to do this for Doucette, but I haven't because I'd have to go through a billion videos to get the content for a thread on him. He's such a disingenuous, backstabbing, drama-baiting, insecure narcissist that just keeping such a thread updated would basically be a full time job. I'm pretty certain he's lied about the extent of his PED use but I can't remember which videos he said what in and it's just unfeasible to watch his entire back catalogue to find the contradictions.

There is so much shit about Greg, but yeah his absurd amount of content that’s just the same thing makes it a slog.

I am a prepper, but holy shit, this dude, Poplar Preparedness, is insane. He makes like between 3-6 vids a day, is a complete demonetarization pussy to the point I occasionally have no idea what he is referring to exactly. Like he won't Russia or Ukraine so he just says Eastern Europe and it is sometimes wat, because he could be talking about either or but it is all just called Eastern Europe. He also won't say guns or bullets.

Today, I was wandering around the grocery store when I was autoplayed this vlog by YT. He has to be the most over the top prepper I have heard so far and I occasionally hate watch, ladies and gentlemen, Alaskan Prepper:


Hilarious things are:

1) He is a fatass.
2) He can't grow a garden.
3) He is a doomer Christian who is jerking off over the possible End Times, while denying it.
4) He was constantly hammering how you have to stop being a bugman and move out into the countryside. Turns out he moved to some cucked exurb community where he can't even have a rooster or most livestock, yet is 'surrounded' by farms, lol. I imagine he is in some HOA and it isn't the zoning that forbids it, lmao.

Youtuber Glink, mostly known from short commentaries/documentaries who was going through a 'who am I as a Youtuber' crisis, is organising a rich hipster festival that might or might not be a joke. Boogie and Destiny are coming? I guess? I honestly can't tell if this is real. If it is real, hooooo boy.

Light Wave is an upcoming event Im hosting that brings together the greatest creators and artists of our time to a meeting space in real life, where their ideas can flourish into a brighter vision of the future. @lighrwaveatx on all platforms

The comments are as confused as I am.

I gonna throw Team Four Star's name into the ring, I think they have all the makings of a YouTube lowcow.

To give a few quick bullet points
  • They gave up their most popular series of videos and replaced with a bunch of subpar attempts at their own original content which lead t decreases in viewership and Patreon numbers (I like to compare them to Doug Walker and Demo Reel)
  • Ended up taking their youtube parody series far too seriously to the point where during the Cell Saga they got egotistical and up the asses about being better about the source material and started toning down the comedic element with the excuse that "Cell Saga is too dark to joke about" so that they could effectively rewrite the saga's story to give their own serious take in an attempt to be better than the original source material.
  • Kaiserneko alone could have his own thread based off his actions as the editor of DBZA. He's notorious for being incredibly spergy about not allowing anyone else to help him edit Dragonball Z Abridged which already took a long time to do but got even longer when he insited on redrawing entire animation frames and inserting completely new originally made animation. In addition to editing, he also handled directing and was a complete utter control freak when it came to the voices that cast members used for their characters, he would veto any voices that he didn't like (particularly voices that were closer to the American presentation of DBZ). Also known for picking fights with fans in the youtube comment section and on Reddit
  • Their personal twitters are full of politisperging. They also apologize for past content that is deemed "problematic in the current year" (particularly their Hellsing Abridged series)
There's more I could cover but I feel like those are the main ones worth bringing up to give an idea of what they're like these days, they have a thread in multimedia that at the time of making this post is sitting at 55 and a lot of discussion has been had in that thread about their cowish traits. I personally think they're not at the level of deserving a full-on lolcow thread but like I said they definitely have the makings of a youtube lolcow and that makes me believe they are very much on the edge of cowdow and one major spergout would push them over the edge,
 
I feel like Cinemawins is about due. Man still makes good content, but every third video now, in addition to plugging Nebula, which, as I understand is just a paid "video essay" site, is filled up to the fucking brim with SJW bullshit. Most recently including saying Toy Story 3 was edging towards racism with Spanish Buzz.

Another one I'm fucking shocked doesnt already have one is MangaKamen. Another of these up his own ass autists that think he's smarter than everyone for noticing basic plot points. Is even trying to make his own pokemon clone, and with only 3 examples, has already resorted to edgy furry bait.

The problem with MangaKamen is that he's too boring and long-winded to even be of note.
 
Another highly polished masturbatory video spergout from Jimmy Fallon's twinksona, Dan "Daniel" Howell. This one is feature length.

FYI, Danisnotonfire would be a cow if he still put out regular content. And although I haven't seen it yet, I can 100% guarantee this video will prove it.


Did anyone else watch it? I want to know if it's worth my time.
The entire first half is skippable, as it's him explaining what a Youtube is in the most self rightious way possible. ("Youtube allows you to make funny videos and now you can get paid but now greedy viewers expect quality from you and that's bad! Leave me alone!")

Last half is pretty funny in a cringe/is-this-guy-fucking-stupid kind of way.
He talks about some dumb show he was working for his big return to Youtube about him being gay not gay but still gay and having to suck Youtube's dick to make it only to ghost him and cancel on him.

Lots of complaining about his life and how he didn't ask to suck Youtube's dick, but did it anyway and now he got nothing to show for it.
 
I'm going with Alex Belfield.

He's a right wing YouTube commentator who kept getting his stuff demonetised for hate speech and being a general arsehole.

He's a self hating closeted theatre fag, who hates some people so much that he's in court in 12 days for stalking 8 people over a 12 year period.

Representing himself in court


He's doing end of the pier shows in Blackpool, he barely had 200 people in his last show

Have I mentioned he's a cunt?

As it gets closer to his trial date, he's becoming more shrill. And he's crowdfunded his "suing" the BBC to about £300,000

Sadly, he's not suing anyone, he's the defendant in a criminal case, and the defendant in a libel suit against him, brought by Jeremy Vine

What a tosspot. Sounds like something that could be a thread in the LLP subforum.

He's so much more than that.

Such a cunt, that when the other cunt, Jim Davidson hired him to do some "celeb interviews" for his shitty channel, he fucked off one of Jim's best mates (Charlie Mullins) that Jim called him out on it.

Imagine being so shit that even Jim Davidson thinks you're a cunt.
