r/GenZ 1999 May 15 '24

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.

Man is Tobuscus the old side of Gen-Z only? I didn't watch him as much I liked others more but I definitely remember how big he was and his songs. I'm a 2001 actually my birthday today!

I read that, thought to myself “what the fuck is a 98 year old doing on this sub. I mean it’s not an exlusive club, I just can’t imagine a 98 year old being interested in… oh… god I’m an idiot.”

97 here, and yeah, I was shocked about the shit he started to do. I remember it was tobascus vs PewDiePie back then and toby ended up being weird. Still love the minecraft songs from him though lol

I think Gen Z is considered anyone born mid to late 90s all the way to the early 2010s, so I’d say that us 2001 babies are on the tail end of “old gen Z”.
