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

I don’t know about this choice but Plainrock124, he seems like he’s going insane and might end up on the edge
 
I've heard that their bullying is on another level compared to the Westerners since they blow off steam from the stress they endure due to high demanding parents.
Yep, they can go so far, that IP2 and OnA forums will look like Facebook groups.
 
Business Casual has seriously gone off the deep end. He posted this just a few minutes ago; https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx4yvybSfpiXDgZRnSXeMY93G06znVFFxY

UEG has posted two more videos about him as well. The second one documents his alleged history of very shady business practices, which is quite hilarious.
 
Apparently Dan Howell is making his last-ditch effort at Youtube.

<Insert fire-related joke here>


What is it, you may ask?

Well underneath all the 17 mins of self-depriciating "humour", the mad ramblings about the end of the Earth and the copious amounts of nothing, I really couldn't tell you. Some daily not daily show about him doing Youtube stuff in the vain hope that he'll stop being depressed/unfunny/hopeless/whatever, I guess...?

Coming out gay and getting pegged by Youtube for years sure did a number on him. Wouldn't be surprised to see him going troon in a few months.
 
This video was allegedly taken by Russian police when they took Bald and Bankrupt into custody and subsequently kicked him out of the country. I can't vouch for its authenticity or the reliability of the subtitles.

Hannibal, he's a pro wrestler who claims to be a vampire of a sorts, he's almost 40 and livestreams himself with escorts as if they are women who show a actual interest in him, also probably smoking meth or crack with increased frequency. About 9 months ago he attacked a referee with a fork and forced "color" or blood from his forehead during a indie match and got in some shit for it, also streams himself talking to 18 year old waitresses at restaurants making them uncomfortable while he makes clumsy passes towards them. In addition to all this he had some infectious blood disease that was contracted via bloody independent wrestling matches hepatitis or some such that prohibited him from making it to the big leagues that he supposedly had cured via experimental treatments and made a huge stink about blood in wrestling despite it now being his go to gimmick.
 
Haven't seen it posted anywhere but the channel Business Casual has gone full tin foil hat in their pursuit of "justice". They claim Russia Today's Arabic channel stole content they made and put it into one of their videos. Then they went on to sue both RT as a whole and YouTube. The "logic" behind suing YouTube seems to be that because YouTube didn't take immediately down Russia Today and all of it's channels YouTube is owned by and colluding with Russia and obstructing justice (or something).

Here is the absurdly tl;dw video explaining everything from Business Casual's side:

There are a few fun angles to this, notably how the court case is winding down while Business Casual's attorney keeps requesting a continuance due to...tinnitus. That's ringing and discomfort in the ears. While delaying the trial over and over due to health reasons Business Casual still managed to get out of bed long enough to make the video I posted above. Business Casual is trying to portray himself as some kind of martyr or crusader against evil, it's fucking hilarious how deluded he is.

Here is an article I found about this:
Article/Archive

Upper Echelon Gamers did a video on it, with the appropriate thumbnail of BRO. STOP.

What seems really interesting to me about this is Business Casual hasn't really produced any content in a couple of years and all of RT's content seems to have been yeeted off the internet due to the Ukraine happening. It looks to me like the guy wasted a bunch of money on a lolsuit he's about to lose and now he's trying to gain public support like that faggot Act Man. I suspect it's part of an upcoming attempt to gain attention so he can go back to monetizing his content again.

Upper Eschelon just released an update that further proves that Business Casual is continually retarded and further polices his comments.
Sometimes-commentary channel DarkViperAU released his own video covering how full of shit Business Casual is.


Apparently Business Casual also ran a creator network where he refused to pay for a lot of people's work and threatened to sue them.

He was probably required to say these things just like when he had to read his apology in Chechnya. It seems like the end of an era for travel vlogging, what with this and all those vloggers paid by China to do propaganda for them.

When travel vloggers make apology videos to governments I'll be checking their eyelids to see if they blink TORTURE in morse code.
 

Joseph Anderson

I know he's been mentioned here prior (and other threads on Youtubers), but there's more I'd like to share what I've come across.

Lolcow crossover with Sophie from Mars (breadtuber video back from September 2020).

In a video looking at the critical reception of The Witcher game series , Sophie from Mars at one point talks about Joseph Anderson's videos on the games and how he's racist against elves, amongst other things (he starts talking about Joseph at the 24:39 mark if the timestamp doesn't work for the video above).

Joseph Anderson eventually shows up in the comments and gets EXTREMELY defensive.

This is part of an 108 reply thread where Joseph gives many, MANY replies. Arguing with a bunch of nobodies.

You can view the thread here, will appear as the highlight comment.


The Witcher 3 Video

Joseph has been working on his video for The Witcher 3 for a long, LONG time. He's pushed it back several times (said to be over 10 hours in length), and said it was going to be done around January of 2022 beyond some minor tweaks. He's given no update since then save for some brief mentions while streaming.

On his subreddit (lol) even his diehards are turning on him with their megathread on The Witcher 3 (archive link here)

hamsterson4.PNG

Further context, Joseph has a family (4 kids IIRC) and YouTube is his full-time job.

I'm not a fan of his work...most of it boils down to him reciting the plot in a low energy voice. There are many, MANY other channels that cover games that are far better.

There is more, like how he shut down his Patreon in January of 2022 when he was making ~$4.5k/month at the time.

A few months prior to that, he wrote a long Patreon post title Why You Should Cancel Your Pledge. Since he shut down his Patreon, the post can't be viewed anymore (couldn't find an archive of it), but here's a reddit thread on it.

A lot of the comments mention how he should just shut it down if he feels that way (which, to be fair, he did), how the video shouldn't be taking so long, how his work schedule is like GRRM.

Plus, the dude looks like a hamster.

I know some think this is a fake image, but it's him. He appeared on Total Biscuit's podcast.

That's what he's claiming:
Some news from Bald and Bankrupt.

''realbaldandbankrupt: I’ve been in bed convalescing for ten days so not been able to discuss what happened in Russia. I will discuss it in future because it is a belter of a story but I was accused of criticising Vladimir Putin. After a few days in the cells I was taken to an office of an MVD officer ( ministry of internal affairs ) who said ‘whether you get just a fine or a long prison stretch depends on how sorry you are for what you said and your justification for saying it.’ In that moment you have a decision to make: either be a hero and get five years in a concrete cell or say ‘Glory to Putin!’ and go home to enjoy your life with your family and friends again. I took the second option without hesitation which is why I’m writing this from my comfy bed and not from a concrete cell in Birobidzhan. I’m not Russian or Ukrainian and won’t be martyring myself for any of their causes. The only shield I’ll ever fall on will be covered in the Union flag 🇬🇧

Anyway before I’m feeling better and speak again I will say that I wasn’t treated badly. In fact the director of the prison ‘Tarass’ was a bloody good bloke who brought me extra noodles to eat ( bloody rolton though and not doshirak 🤨 ). My only regret is I wasn’t there long enough to get a badass Russian prison tattoo. Everything else was cool. Scary as fuck, but cool at the same time to get the ultimate Soviet experience.

Right now my friend @lanasator is languishing in an Albanian prison on trumped up spying charges. I’m working with others to get her decent legal representation and get her home. It’s a dangerous job at times.

I still don’t use Instagram so will delete this post tomorrow but I know people have been intrigued so wanted to comment. Adios amigos.'''

Ever heard of Bumbles McFumbles? If you haven't, you're not alone. He made a video titled "Which Punch Out!!!! Boxer is the Biggest Cheater?" which ended up getting 4.3 Million views. Other than that, most of his videos barely scrape by, with most of his videos getting around 10-30k views, so it seems like he's one of those WhoTubers who only gets lucky thanks to the algorithm.

He will, however, sperg about politics and shit in his videos, and although he won't outright say it, you can tell what audience he's trying to pander too.
1662706825500.png

The community tab is pretty normal, except for this giant wart. Because as we all know, it's the video game commentary channels who you should get your ideologies from.

1662707180100.png

He will go out of his way to shit talk his subscribers who dare question his stance on [current drama].

If most of his videos has as much political shit as the ones I saw (discarding the top three most viewed videos), I wouldn't be surprised if most of his subscribers just dipped after they see how preachy he may get at times. Doesn't help that most of his videos that are just him reviewing a game or listing one of those "top ten games that failed!" shit are generally boring as fuck. The SpongeBob movie one was such a drag to get through. His personality is basically what happens if you put sugar and sprinkles on white toast; it may be a bit more hyperactive, but it's still bland as fuck. May not even be worth it to look through all his videos to see bad takes, as he's not even interesting enough.
 
Yeah, I just saw these when the farms was down over the weekend. Need we bring up those archived forum posts about sex tourism he (very likely) made in the 2000s?

Stars are definitely aligning and a prospering ground thread may be in order soon. It sucks because I liked his videos in the beginning (and they’re still interesting if you take them with a grain of salt, like the Syria one).
What's up with anglofags and sex tourism? The bootleg and absolutely deranged Bald and Bankrupt aka Graham Phillips also started his career as some sex tourist journalist in Kyiv before he started shilling for Putin and the Kremlin. And the Retro Core guy who moved to Japan also seems to have engaged in some sex tourism before settling there and starting a family. Some conservative 'Murican guy on a private Discord server ran by a friend of mine also engaged in sex tourism on the Philippines.

Anyways, it seems like Bald silently stopped with the Top B cringe after seeing the outrage, which is definitely more than what many cows would do. He didn't make some Logan Paul apology video. Unless I'm missing something more, perhaps he just had some drunken episode in Romania. Overall I don't think he's at the point where he deserves a thread just yet. But he is worthy of being put on a "watchlist" as something may be brewing.

The same could not be said about Bald and Bankrupt from Aliexpress, aka Graham Phillips. He's definitely a lolcow, without a doubt. For those who don't know, here's a quick summary:

>Blatantly shills for Putin's regime, despite claiming to be an "independent jorunalist"
>He looks and acts like a fucking English football hooligan and then gets surprised that he gets arrested
>He harassed the Stepan Bandera museum staff, acting like a retard, while filming the thing, with the staff having to call security
>He harassed the Ukrainian ambassador to Austria on the fucking street after stalking him
>He vandalized Bandera's shrine/tomb/monument and got confronted by Ukrainians there
>He filmed himself technically doing a war crime where he used a Bri'ish volounteer POW for his exhibitionism and interrogated him.

Some of these might be considered based by some, but here's where all of it falls apart even for ultra vatnik standards. HIS RUSSIAN IS FUCKING TERRIBLE! When I first heard him speak Russian, I was in disbelief. He's putting ZERO effort into his Russian pronounciation, speaking in a very, very strong Bri'ish accent. I unironically think that he speaks almost zero Russian and that he's just reading some script conveniently transcribed in Latin for him.

He's literally a Russo-weeaboo who is obsessed with Russia and Putin, while having atrocious Russian skills, behaving like a fucking clown, possibly under the influence of some very questionable substances, effectively being a complete embarassment to Russia, regardless of which side you're on!

Ffs, is the Kremlin so desperate for Western supporters that it set the bar so low so that even random football hooligans can get hired to do propaganda? Even the CCP Wumao foreigners at least behave themselves and don't act like fucking animals. How does he not have a thread on there?
 
How does he not have a thread on there?
Travelogue YouTubers do seem like a community of (not so hidden) lolcows that may be worth exploring. In the past, the farms have looked at a couple of weeb YouTubers, but those focused more on the weeb aspect instead of the travelogue/shitty tourist behavior. Prospering grounds has (had?) that multilingual YouTuber thread that touched on expats living in Japan and claiming expertise w/o knowing the language or acting appropriately at all. To add even more, many users here have added their stories of expats, sex tourists, and amateur-ish travelogue Internet personalities that are genuinely entertaining (from lolcow to horrorcow behaviors).

Tldr — we really should start some kind of expat/travelogue/(sex) tourist community watch thread in Prospering Grounds so we can keep tabs on the big players (like this Graham fellow, Bald and Bankrupt, the PRC shills, and weebs). @Pee Cola knows more about this subject — I wouldn’t mind collaborating with him, you, and anybody else on this project…

EDIT: I might start a more generic travelogue YouTuber thread in multimedia this weekend for us to discuss these personalities (they can be either cool or lolcows). Maybe it could be like my favorite History YouTube/Pop History thread there or the more frustrating Urban Planning YouTuber thread in Deep Thoughts . The subject matter is quite interesting and we can collect information and, if someone graduates into a lolcow, somebody can use the information there to start a PG thread. :)

Not sure how I missed this, but yeah... I'd be up for a YouTube (S)expat Travel Vloggers CW thread.

A while back The Algorithm started recommending some cringe shit to me from a bunch of British sexpats living in Thailand. There's a community of them based around Pattaya. This was before the coof and I haven't watched any of those vids since then because they're so cringe and kinda boring (90% of them are top tips for aspiring sexpats such as how to deal with bar girls etc), but I should probably see if I can dig some of those channels up.
 
ShammyTV (archive) drank the Troonshine and has been spending the last day talking about being a tranny and retweeting furry vore porn.
He was already gay so this isn't really surprising. Him and his friend MandaloreGaming were the first people to retweet the false twitlonger allegations against Vinny Vinesauce, both later apologized but his apology was more passive-agressive/mad that people called him out, no apology to the guy whose life he tried to ruin.
