* Creator/LiaMarieJohnson, in one of her FormerChildStar displays online, once made an Instagram live transmission that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo45Rh0pWkc went for over half an hour]] as she dished out on all the dissatisfaction in her life.

* Lanipator of Creator/TeamFourStar admitted that part of the reason for cancelling ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''[='s=] version of ''Anime/BojackUnbound'' was partly because of general burnout, having done the series for over 11 years. That, the fight to keep their videos from getting taken down from Youtube yearly and the [[InformedFlaw blandness]] of the movie all contributed to this mindset to the point where Lanipator expressed joy at creating the ''DBZA'' spinoff series ''Dragon [=ShortZ=]''. This burnout later played a large role in the cancellation of Season 4 of ''DBZA'', with the team admitting that ''Bojack'' showed them exactly how burned out they had become with the entire series.

* Bryan, who created well-regarded kids network information website, [[http://www.nickandmore.com/ Nick And More]], went through quite a bit of this in 2015, at times shutting down his website multiple times within half a year, before initially calling it quits for good in September (by ''completely'' locking his Facebook and Twitter account, and as announced on the website, initially letting the domain eventually expire). While there were a number of problems, [[WhyTheFandomCantHaveNiceThings ranging from people repeatedly mistaking his website as being associated with Nickelodeon was the biggest of them.]] One could see that by looking through his stuff could see it was his continuing disillusionment of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork[[note]] caused by the former's continuing DorkAge, and the latter's [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwing over of highly-acclaimed shows just to solely attract young male audiences]] and the [[AdoredByTheNetwork obsession with]] ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' at the cost of said acclaimed shows[[/note]] as a big part of why he was giving up through 2015. Though by the next year, [[HopeSpot it appeared that we would finally be back, including reopening his]] Website/{{Twitter}} and Website/{{Facebook}} pages, along with a Website/{{Tumblr}} account. However, just before the 10th Anniversary, he once again shut down the website again, stating that he had zero care about today's kids channels, combined with how everything is practically online. [[HesBack Though after a short break and reconsideration]], [[CreatorRecovery he has since returned]] albeit focusing more on the reopened Twitter account, and using "Nick and More" to post ratings and tidbits.

* Creator/LittleKuriboh has been suffering from depression since mid-2014 and it is one of the reasons for the lack of productivity and new videos. That and his diagnosis of Crohn's disease hasn't helped either. He's currently doing some Vlogs as a way to talk about things and seems to slowly be getting better.

** Shortly after leaving RT, Creator/KathleenZuelch, the voice of Agent Texas in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' and Glynda Goodwitch in ''RWBY'', went on a drunken Twitter rant about her former co-workers on Twitter during International Women's Day 2017. Unsurprisingly, [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor this led to Zuelch's departure from both shows]].

** On May 12, 2016, former animator Shane Newville wrote a 25-page letter accusing the company of trying to ruin ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' creator Creator/MontyOum's vision for it after his 2015 death. The letter was a heartbreaking insight into a man who was openly struggling with divorce, mental health, and the loss of a man he greatly admired. Since then, only individuals with public grudges against Rooster Teeth have supported its veracity.
** On International Women's Day 2017, Creator/KathleenZuelch, who did voice work for ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' and ''RWBY'', insulted her Rooster Teeth co-workers and bosses on Twitter during an alcohol-fueled rant. Unsurprisingly, [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor this got her fired from the company]].

** On May 12, 2016, Shane Newville, a former animator, wrote a ''35 page diatribe'' essentially accusing the company of trying to "ruin" Creator/MontyOum's vision for ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' after his passing. The fact that he was going through a divorce and the loss of his [[HeterosexualLifePartners hetero life mate Monty]] were probably contributing factors in his viewpoint as well. To this day, many people are still uncertain if what was written is actually true -- the only ones claiming its veracity were those who held major grudges towards Rooster Teeth and Rooster Teeth (rightfully) refuses to discuss it -- and the general consensus with the fans is that it might have ''some'' truth to it, but there's always two sides to a story.

* When Website/{{Neopets}} was bought out by Creator/{{Viacom}} in 2005 after several stressful years of fighting off [[ChurchOfHappyology a certain organization]]'s attempts to hijack the site into an AuthorTract, co-founder Donna "Poptart" Williams, as a [[TakingYouWithMe last parting gift]], greenlit "the most hideous pet designs and worst names [she] had ever heard": the [[https://bookofages.jellyneo.net/species/ogrin/ Ogrin]] and the [[https://bookofages.jellyneo.net/species/xweetok Xweetok]]. While she regrets the spiteful move now, users aren't complaining -- even though the Ogrin remains [[BaseBreakingCharacter a black sheep among the fandom]], the Xweetok had [[SpringtimeForHitler the opposite of the intended effect]] and became [[EnsembleDarkhorse the fifth most popular pet species on the site]].

%%* Music/KenAshcorp was known in the early 2010s for his alternative channel, foreverpandering, dedicated to various shitposts {{MST}}s and other rants. His association with UsefulNotes/FurryFandom was met with huge controversy at the time, and Ken found himself harassed on almost every platform he was on, including his main channel and his Tumblr. Things go so out of hand that he found it necessary to [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes permanently delete his alt]] by the end of 2012, and even temporarily disable comments on his main. Since then, the music on his main channel changed significantly, and even though his old content has mostly been VindicatedByHistory, it is unclear whether he has completely recovered from the drama.

** Season five is this. According to [[https://youtu.be/OfByCu4kEIQ a video]] by the host of the show. Due to jealousy of another Youtuber, she made season five of the show out of anger, depression and suicidal thoughts.

** Season nine is a case of this as well. The videos were stripped back to once a week, however, her twitter account reveals she is still not in the best state of mind and, from a Vlog, says she suffered a panic attack and forced herself to halt production for two months.

** Season six and seven get this also, since the previous season took so much energy, they ended up being made with very little effort or with little care. [[Main/WordofGod Word of God]] states that season eight averts this.

* ''VideoGame/{{ROBLOX}}'' [=YouTuber=] greenlegocats become notorious around 2019 for calling for the ban certain UGC items, which the ''ROBLOX'' community took it as being against the concept of UGC, resulting in him getting massive amounts of flak for this, especially when said items were removed, further increasing the anger against him to the point where during the time where his account was banned for the second time, some user actually ''celebrated'' that he was gone. This reached a breaking point during a scandal in which another ''ROBLOX'' [=YouTuber=] was promoting a gambling site yet went under the radar, greenlegocats ranted upon how he was rightfully criticized for promoting a gambling site in the past and has since deleted that video, but the other one was not and has since gotten away with it, to the point where [[https://youtu.be/ZtdD8ww9-yg he made a video summarizing his dissatisfaction with parts of the community, especially Twitter]].
