AvE.
He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.
...and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

Yogscast.
It just gone downhill after Jaffa Factory Minecraft series.
You probably just got older.
But to be fair after the whole sjin incident it was not the same

Ethoslab. Pretty sure he still does quality content (probably) but I just can't watch minecraft content anymore. Also, I don't even have the time to watch/play everything what I really do want.

Day9. Though I just rewatched a funday Monday from episode 200 or 300 and it was just as amazing and fun as it was back over a decade ago.
I watched newer stuff he still seems to be a great guy.

Sorted Food. Once they started with the Pass It On format they really declined. Now all their videos are pass it on sand Chef Reviews Gadets and no more actual cooking videos, especially not recipe videos.
CoryXKenshin because he stopped uploading.
Thinking about it now, it's been a long time since I saw a Goldvision video. I loved that guy and his calming contemplative gameplay, I was even on board when he decided to just never kill anyone or any npc in a video game ever again (but still play stuff like multiplayer shooters and GTA Online).
I miss his stuff, gonna go see if I've been missing out
He kinda stopped making the content he started off with which was a shame. Loved his planetside stuff
Dr. Disrespect, there was a couple year period where the insane, over-the-top masculinity shtick was entertaining to me. Eventually I drifted away from the games that brought me to him in the first place.
Very recently, news broke that he had sexually explicit conversations with a minor on twitch.
Watched a lot of Binging With Babish and just got tired of his schtick I think. Same with the How To Drink guy.

James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid "ad spots" in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren't real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.
Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.
I don't even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn't goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don't care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.
Do moat people who watch her these days do so because they also watched jimquisition? I always wondered that, because to me it's the other way around. I always saw his thumbnails but never the video. Now i listen to the podcast and it's a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of podcasters and youtuber said that they will get "hate" for something they put out, and by "hate" they mean some 12 year olds that disagree and beed attention. I kinda accidentally went to her homepage and saw the starfield review and people in the comments were absolutely nasty. While i don't agree with that at all, i can see gow she's pushing buttons. Like ahe absolutely hated palworld. She hated it before she even played it, and all i could hear is that she's such a pokemon fangirl that she couldn't comprehend that people like that more than ger beloved pokemon and said all that palworld did was made her want to play "insert the worst pokemon game". Same with helldivers. She wrote a review of the game in the time she was waiting in queue on launch day. She couldn't play, so there is no review. I think that's kinda fair in a way, but i'm pretty sure if it wasn't helldivers 2 but something that she really liked or really wanted to like she would still waiting right now. So i'm not sure if she's actually farming hate for engagement or what the deal is.
That's always been her shtick though, to hate on things. Go on long rants.
I watched an Irish tech reviewer because I wanted to support local, he was decent and would have relevant info regarding pricing and release windows.
Noticed he was getting abit whiny and doing some oddly focusef videos but I made no conscious decision to stop wtching.
Remembered him a few years ago and he is gone fucking nuts with this mad US centric Trump conservative nonsense. It is honestly nearly laughable only for it is so aggressively hateful.
Both Mr. Beast and Mark Rober. They got too loud and shrill over time.
Edit: Oh and Guga Food / Sousvide Everything. They just do the same thing all over, with weirder ingredients every day, and then make shocked pickachu faces when stuff tastes shit. Ribeye dry aged for 180 days in engine oil? No shit it's bad.
Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They're also loud and obnoxious, so I've stopped watching them.
I've actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.
Mark Rober is a massive fraud. Recently he started selling out to the military industrial complex too.
He always seemed nice, but all he really cares is squeezing as much money out of everything.
