Favorite internet personalities that did not turn into LOLCows over the years?

Considering that he has been at the centre of several massive autism storms and the Youtube Drama community, (and also getting doxed by his idiot girlfriend) idubbbz still comes across as a likeable doofus, and I always look forward to whatever stupidity he comes out with next.

Vinesauce Joel, too. You have to separate these content creators from their fanbase sometimes, and the Vinesauce fanbase is a wretched hive of tism and spergery, but Joel is still the same loveable Swedish idiot with a laugh that can cure cancer, stop wars and end world hunger.

Agreeing with those who say LGR, too. The guy doesn't need women, or drama, or scandal - he just has old computers, a soothing voice and a Duke Nukem impression that rivals Joel's.

I would say Krinkels, the creator of Madness Combat from Newgrounds.com. He was active since the early 2000s and while he had some anthro art here and there I can't recall him having any drama, at all. He is still working on his game and series, and he actually got better at his craft(s) as well. I still watch the new episodes he makes, because old habits die hard.

LGR (dude is just as laid back and chill as ever)

LaurentheFlute (has some slight SJW tendencies, but she seems like such a genuinely sweet and goodhearted person)

James Rolfe (not too much into AVGN anymore, but I enjoy James's videos where he's talking about movies and music. Still would like to punch Mike Matai though)

Barry Lewis / MyVirginKitchen is a Youtube celebrity chef that does a podcast with Stuart Ashen, and he's been pretty solid this whole time. Just a guy with a wife and kids who wants to show you weird recipes he made that week.

Just about everyone who was on Barshens is worthwhile, really.

(except TomSka and NerdCubed)

EpicMealTime. Oldest channel I can think of that hasn't turned into lolcows.
 
Justin Scarred is a pretty chill and fun Youtuber. He could have turned into an lolcow because of his messy divorce from years ago, but instead he's an optimistic person and he always makes his videos fun to watch. The only thing I can say is he's a little too goofy but if that's the worst that can be said about him then he's doing a pretty cool job.

Barshens is criminally underrated.

I'd add to the list Papa Franku/Joji, it's amazing that he managed to survive with the fan-base that he had.

The ProJared fiasco makes me grateful that nobody in TheRunawayGuys and their circle have turned out to be lolcows. They did a 4-day charity stream a few days ago. Just a fun group of people.

James Rolfe is still a chill dude, as mentioned before.

Erik, of Internet Comment Etiquette, for turning A-logging into an art.
ssethtzeentach, for autistic meme laden game reviews.

They've both held it together.

Mega 64.
They had one little controversy about the video game back in the day but nothing much came out of it. They seem apolitical and pretty chill in twitter.
 
I don't watch raocow anymore but he's still doing the same thing he was doing 10 years ago, just putting out one or two videos a day while keeping a good attitude and not involving himself in stupid shit
 
Did SovietWomble, Cyanide and the rest of ZeroFucks go lolcow? If not, I'll choose them I guess.

Michael Stevens/Vsauce never did anything to anybody, the man just wants you to learn something new and his editing skills are really on point. I think he's got the whole "internet celebrity" thing down pat.

On one hand, the content drought makes me sad.
On the other, this is literally his career and I'm not sure I would do any different in his place. I mean, we wouldn't expect TV hosts to work for free, either. Yeah there's a lot of money to be made from ad revenue, but from what I've seen, it's an unstable and inconsistent source of income.
