Do you have any favorite youtubers who don't post anymore/randomly just stopped out of nowhere?

I've been thinking about this, so many of my favorite people on early youtube just stopped. Some got really popular but others remained obscure.

Most of the early AVGN clones are gone. The Rant Man, ALpha Omega Sin, Trailerboy415, Darkness the curse, BigAl, a lot of these guys were some of my first ever videos on the site.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

The worst part for me is most of the YTers I used to love that disappeared have also deleted all or most of their videos. It hurts.

There was this guy called Detective Hacc who was an iDubbz clone at the time that iDubbz was still doing the "kickstarter crap" videos. (I kinda miss those days of the internet honestly ...) I liked him because he was just a bit calmer than iDubbz and had this clinical approach to all of his breakdowns of scam projects, although not without humor. But he also never really got to a professional level of polish and clearly had his own life outside of YouTube, so I just hope he's doing something else that he enjoys.

ShmufkinTV was another kind of rant-related YouTuber and I really loved the topics that she covered even if they weren't unique and that she had a slavic accent. There aren't really that many Russian YouTubers that do general commentary too ... Chuck Review is one that was hilarious when he was small but now it all seems very "sterile", same with +100500 (although that was always a comedy show, and there was even a time when his show aired on the channel Перец back in the mid 2010's).

I also have no idea what happened to Sam O'Nella. His videos were amazing and then he just vanished. I really miss Sorrow TV, too, but it in his case it was clear that the guy struggled under the attention that he'd been receiving and had his bouts with mental health issues, so I honestly just hope he's okay ...

I miss I Hate Everything's and ralphthemoviemaker's content as well (and honestly a lot of those long-form rant/criticism channels). I get that MauLer and that wolf guy (and the dog guy, they're all furries smh) have a podcast now and I guess interest in those kinds of things has died down so they're not too active when it comes to producing videos like that and I can also understand how constantly putting out that content can be very taxing but those guys' early content is still stuff I rewatch for comfort. They shaped my perspectives as a critical thinker and helped a lot as a writer in how I approach my creative and even academic work.

Yeah -> JjayJoker he was casually the early minecraft youtuber, for thos who were watching youtube at early stages of it existence in Poland knows that legend.
ex.


Bukilandia -> before he quited youtube and any social media he was the biggest anime-related channel on polish youtube, now he left his facebook fanpage to trusted mods and made them as admins, so his fanpage is so far one of the biggest facebook private groups to get touch with other anime fans/news in polish internet (outside the illegal sites dedicated to anime).
would give example but he deleted every single video he posted [there was like more than 100-200 videos? don't remember] -> https://www.youtube.com/user/Bukiplay/featured

Idk, FPSrussia? From what I know he hasn't posted anything since few years.
And so far I can't recall anyone else.

I dunno how i never noticed but he's back. Started back a couple weeks ago.

I've heard a few different things, one is that it was for personal issues and the other is that he lost interest in YouTube due to new guidelines, like demonitizing videos for swearing too much.

Yeah, Demo.



It's fine though.

As long as he enjoys what he's doing, I'll be glad to see one of his vid pop up, even if it's once every century.

Because he didn’t release videos for quite a long time, I lost touch with him. I mean news about him. So I wouldn’t know he came back recently this year. He never released videos in 2020 and 2021, right?

I was going to say Danger Dolan, but he's actually started uploading again, albeit on a different channel. He's a Vtuber now, apparently.

Actually yeah, both of trains/railway related.

Shropshire Railways: The guy mainly did walks along the remains of trackways in Shropshire, as well as visiting certain other railway places of interest. His videos were really good and well produced, but he's stopped because... he died of cancer :(

IC82: This guy did various types of things - from model trains, day trips to gaming (all train related). He's not posted any videos for 2 years now, I'm not sure on the reason?

J.T. Sexkik, although he has always had a very infrequent upload schedule.


This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Both of them are still thriving, though - Frank/Joji with his music career and Max with Cold Ones.

OT: There used to be this guy named OneManSho who did really good impressions. The guy hasn't posted in 12 years. Hope he's okay.


There was also a guy who did really good guitar covers, first called privettricker and then James James. He posted a cover of The Beatles' "The End" months ago and left, not looking back since. Guy was really impactful to me, even inspiring me to create my own YouTube channel. Here's a random video of his:
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!

Spoony was the big one that I followed regularly that slowed his output to a crawl and then just quit and kinda lost his mind after. I really dug his D&D videos.
