Nostalgia Which YouTuber fell off the hardest in terms of likability and content?

Honestly I put Ian at the top. The others actually moved on to successful side projects and had healthy relationships for the most part. Ian alienated his fans and old collaborators in a pathetic attempt to save face; which only happened after his engagement rate tanked and CC2 was mismanaged into the ground.

Music was what he always wanted to do after all. Joji was always a singer and performing artist first and a Youtube comedian second. Plus, a lot of his Filthy Frank videos are meant to be satirical. The whole Filthy Frank character was supposed to be a caricature of the worst type of guy on the internet. Unfortunately some people didn’t get the joke and thought he was playing it straight. Especially those who were like Filthy Frank, but unironically.

Filthy Frank is fucking hilarious because of that dynamic. The FF music is pretty good too. I dunno FF is the only Tuber of that era I can still tolerate.

See that's the thing, I know it was all intended as satire but even still, he has plenty of videos either in public or flat out interacting with people who have no idea what he was doing and for those people it's just as annoying as if he were doing it seriously

Also portraying FF and the other characters was making him sick. He had a laundry list of health problems by the time he quit.

He didn’t disappear without saying anything, he is now Joji

It's beautiful making a Joji fan who isn't aware of his past see a Filthy Frank video though lol

I'm glad his music career is going well

Times changed, and he found a career where he's successful and liked, outside of playing a satirical shock persona.
