So far, here’s my list:
- Brad the Guitologist: went crazy
- Rick Beato: abusive to his kid
- AvE: Canadian Trumper
- Gavin McInnes: leader of the Proud Boys
Others I found that I’d like some backstory on:
- boogie2988
- Jack Doherty
- All the Paul’s (Jake, Logan etc…) no backstory needed here. Fuck Jake Paul!
- SSSniperwolf
- masteroogway
- YouTube kids channels
- Cody Kos

Ryan Haywood from Rooster Teeth was fired after a number of allegations that he was cheating on his wife with fans. These allegations also included statutory rape and sexual assault. Some evidence was provided to corroborate the allegations. Rooster Teeth removed some videos involving him and publicly distanced themselves from him. He tried to make a comeback on Twitch and got a ton of pushback from it. I believe he ended up getting banned shortly after.
SSSniperwolf. All I know is she steals people videos, does dumb reactions, and gets tons of views. She does not have the rights to use those videos, but profits so much off others work. I do not think she even links to the sources. (I could be wrong)
jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author’s content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn’t even on screen).
jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he’d critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he’d research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn’t credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf’s shady behaviour.
Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.
2023-07-26 Let’s tttalk about Sssniperwolf. (jacksfilms)
2023-08-16 Sssniperwolf is getting worse. Here’s proof. (jacksfilms)
2023-10-14 Sssniperwolf came to our home last night. It’s time for YouTube to step in. (jacksfilms)
sadly she came back online recently. not only dox, but also stalking behaviour where she was talking in such a cringey voice.
All Gas No Brakes / Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. Not sure if his viewers canceled him but there was some sexual harassment accusation from multiple women and he came out with a poorly received apology video.
Fuck I’m old.
- Linwei Ding AKA Tech Lead, the biggest douchebag in the world. Was such a piece of shit that he was fired from Google then went to jail for corruption
- I Show Speed
- Meet Kevin
- Andrew Tate
- Dr. Disrespect
Honorable Mention:
- Jamie Mantzel wasn’t necessarily cancelled but his decades long YouTube journey has certainly had its share of drama, controversy, and intrigue.
JonTron got too big for his britches, fucked off of GameGrumps and then on a podcast popped off the “50% of crimes are committed by 13% of the population” horseshit and then kept doubling down on it, now he makes just garbage tier reaction videos like once every 6 months
Similarly RubberRoss’ cosplayer wife cheated on him with ProJared in what may have been the most pathetic public cuckoldry since Hogan famously belched “I can’t fuck brother! I ate too much sushi” so Holly and Jared both fell apart after that
I don’t know if he counts as a YouTuber because he got canceled on twitch and moved to YouTube but Dr Disrespect live streamed himself at TwitchCon including going into the public restroom where there were minors present. Which is a bad look but could maybe be seen as an accident if it didn’t also come out that he was actively cheating on his wife, whom he had a child with, with women he was meeting with from Twitch. It was all a bit too much and his platform collapsed while he also started firing off lawsuits in multiple directions
I think shit went down with h3h3 around that same time. I gave up on them after they started making irritating anti-feminist content. I’ve avoided them like the plague, but I think they had uh, a definite shift rightwards.
edit: all of the above is rampant speculation btw. Like I said, I’ve avoided them like the plague since then.
I would say Internet Historian, after his plagiarism debacle.
There’s also the Nazi of it all.
Such a shame. Dude makes funny content, too bad he’s a horrible person.
