The revelation that she had ties with alt-right groups in 2016, and two tweets that supported this (where she first mocked Jewish people, then mocked African Americans) destroyed her reputation. Not only did it cost Youcis her job as a vendor, but also her support from Creator/{{Troma}}, and the respect of the animation community. Not helped was when she protested outside after being fired, which showcased her as a racist.

Things got even worse when the white supremacist perpetrators of the 2019 Christchurch massacre endorsed him while livestreaming the atrocity. He was at least smart enough to try to distance himself from that one, saying that he was disgusted by the whole thing.

Deleted line(s) 22,37 (click to see context) :
* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'' has become infamous in the mid to late noughties for several controversies:
** Creator/AllisonPregler is mainly remembered for being removed from the site for, as she put it, being away from her computer during a surprise Skype call, which led to WebVideo/{{Phelous}} leaving in protest.
** WebVideo/TheAmazingAtheist is remembered mostly for his despised time with the website as "The Distressed Watcher", saying that people who enjoyed ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' even ironically [[FanHater deserve to be taken to a death camp and shot]], a comment about Jake Lloyd's performance in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' being so bad that he hoped he became a drug addict, calling a film worse than his father's death, his videos talking about feminism, and a time when he not only accused a rape victim of lying, but also told him to ''reexperience it''. These incidents have made him an internet pariah.
** Jake Norvell, a contributor of Creator/BradJones' works, is mostly known for having an affair with the girlfriend of Jones and subsequently bragging about it online, which resulted in an end to their professional relationship.
** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
*** The ''Manga/SailorMoon'' review is remembered mostly from the backlash it received from fans of the series, for several jokes that were viewed as sexist, using the soon-to-be-obsolete [=DiC=]/Cloverway dub instead of the original Japanese version, and the fact that he focused on the ages of the characters, than for any of its actual merits. The controversy drove Creator/DougWalker to refrain from creating more anime-related reviews outside of crossovers.[[note]]When he did review ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', he brought onboard anime fans Creator/LittleKuriboh and Creator/MasakoX as co-hosts to help explain the source material.[[/note]]
*** ''The Review Must Go On'' is mostly remembered for TheReveal that [[spoiler:The events of ''WebVideo/DemoReel'' were nothing more than a purgatory experience that happened to the Critic]].
*** His fourth commercial special is mainly remembered for the Canadian Rape [=PSA=] (he criticized it for being [[MoodWhiplash tone deaf]], but a lot of people mistook it as not liking the message) and the DoubleStandard sexual harassment RunningGag, in which he openly stated that men don't suffer from harassment because they can't tell who's interested in them or not.
*** His review of ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is mainly remembered for the fact that it came out while the movie was still in theaters,[[note]]He bypassed the inconvenience of not having footage from the film due to a lack of a home video release then by having the cast reenact scenes from the film.[[/note]] breaking the Critic's promise back in ''The Review Must Go On''. Critic mocked this in his TRMGO review, saying that he already broke a promise when he brought back the show.
*** The LetsPlay of ''Bart's Nightmare'' is far more well-known for the backlash it received than for the video itself, to the point where the following review of ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' had NC apologizing for it in character at the start; in a sketch where he got sent to prison for it, [[Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie placed next to the State Home for the Ugly, no less]].
*** His ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' review is mostly remembered for the joke he made about Splinter's voice sounding like he smoked a lot of Marlboro's, unaware that his voice actor in that film, Creator/{{Mako}}, died of lung cancer. He apologized for it in his ''Film/RedSonja'' review, and later made a RunningGag about it:
---> '''The Nostalgia Critic:''' I don't ''hate'' Mako, I don't ''know'' Mako.
*** Doug Walker himself got caught up in controversy in late March 2018 when ''Not So Awesome'' came to light, particularly his preferential treatment, production of the Anniversary Specials, and being an accomplice to the removal of Pregler. For his part, Doug did offer a sincere apology for everything, but the apology came too late. Every new Nostalgia Critic episode since the controversy began getting thousands of dislikes even when the episodes are relatively uncontroversial, as before then, the main reason for episodes getting over 1000 dislikes was when people disagreed strongly with his views.
*** His brother, co-writer and [=CFO=] Rob Walker, got hit with a larger backlash, not helped by his only response to the controversies being to delete his social media pages.
** The late [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin "JewWario" Carmical]] had his reputation ruined when allegations of grooming and rape came to light, as well as plenty of evidence supporting it, and suggestions that several higher ups knew about it, but did nothing more than remove him from the site. The amount of tributes he received after his death only [[InternetBackdraft added fuel to the fire]].
** The site as a whole became engulfed in controversy after a document titled: "[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WZFkR__B3Mk9EYQglvislMUx9HWvWhOaBP820UBa4dA Not So Awesome]]" came to the public's attention, listing numerous grievances with the company, including alleged abusive and misogynistic behavior by [=CEO=] Mike Michaud, sexual misconduct allegations towards former [=CFO=] Mike Ellis, preferential treatment towards Creator/DougWalker, which gave him a say in several corporate decisions, and several of the controversies listed above. The company's attempts to contain the controversy only made things worse, to the point where Doug was the only one to offer a genuine apology. Almost all of the secondary content creators except Creator/BradJones and WebVideo/{{GuruLarry|AndWez}} have left, [=#ChangeTheChannel=] has trended on Twitter, and the site's executives, Mike Michaud in particular, lost all their respect amongst the internet community.

Added DiffLines:
* Anthony "A-Log" [=LoGatto=] is less known for his videos, and more known for his overblown hatred of Chris-chan, to the point that "A-Logs" became a catch all term for people who take their disdain of Chris too far.
* [[http://bismuthspartnerincrime.tumblr.com/ Bismuth's Partner in Crime]] was one of the most prominent members of the "[=SU=] Critical" movement, a sub-sect of the ''Westernanimation/StevenUniverse'' fanbase dedicated to criticizing the later seasons of the show, to the point were he was some have called him the head honcho of the community. Already divisive among tumblr users, he became engulfed in several controversies that have made him a paraiah inside and outside of the critical community. These include re-blogging Rule34 of children's media (most infamously the ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' picture) despite his open opposition to it, his apparent belief that evilfriends is directly responsible for his fanbase harrassing him, re-blogging what turned out to be rape porn and claiming that it was an accident, his defensive reactions to any sort of criticisms, and accusing underage users of being pedophiles.[[https://ackeelovemail.tumblr.com/post/170494517165/ackee You can read about it all here.]]
* [=DaddyOFive=] will forever be tainted by allegations of child abuse, the ''massive'' amounts of evidence supporting the claim, the controversy over their "Invisible Ink Prank" video, and the backlash growing so big that two of children shown in their videos are now in the hands of their biological mother instead of the family shown in the videos and every last one of their videos has been taken down.
* Patreon artist and WebVideo/PlanetDolan star [=DoopieDoOver=] was briefly entwined into the Chris-chan controversy when she accepted a commission given by Chris and defended the decision, causing her much backlash from Chris' detractors. The drama eventually subsided once Doopie cut contact with Chris after Chris repeatedly made unwanted romantic advances toward her.
* Animator and former Philadelphian pistachio vendor Creator/EmilyYoucis was always a polarizing figure, but was well known in some parts of the internet (particularly the indie animation and horror scenes) for her BlackComedy and for the popular ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse'' series. The revelation that she had ties with alt-right groups in 2016, and two tweets that supported this (where she first mocked Jewish people, then mocked African Americans) destroyed her reputation. Not only did it cost Youcis her job as a vendor, but also her support from Creator/{{Troma}}, and the respect of the animation community. Not helped was when she protested outside after being fired, which showcased her as a racist.
* Very few knew of the web film ''Innocence of Muslims'' on Website/{{YouTube}} until protests in Muslim-majority countries were triggered after an excerpt was aired on an Egyptian television station. The video actually led to [=YouTube=] being banned in many countries with said majorities.
* Chris Bores, a [=YouTuber=], has had a few controversies to his name.
** The only thing most people know about ''WebVideo/TheIrateGamer'' is accusations of plagiarism he faced due to the similarities to ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', and his questionable responses to it, most infamously a reply that Creator/JamesRolfe copied ''him'' and then telling the commentor to "go shove a kactus (sic) up your ass!"
** His "History of Video Games" series, itself ill-regarded, was overshadowed by an incredibly crude scene in the ''UsefulNotes/MagnavoxOdyssey'' episode in which he drew three fake cards from a game, which features two children on the overlay, reading "penis", "masturbation hand", and "vagina".
** His [=E3=] coverage was already considered to be lackluster, but it's mainly remembered for Chris pretending to blow up the Creator/{{Ubisoft}} building after he was denied entrance into their press conference.
* Former WebOriginal/{{Vine}} user, [=YouTuber=], Team 10 leader, and former ''Series/{{Bizaardvark}}'' star Creator/JakePaul is better known for many accusations of controversy than his career. This includes his reckless behavior during his three-month stay in Beverly Grove in Los Angeles, his infamous feud with [=RiceGum=], and numerous accusations of arrogance, rude behavior and abuse from former Team 10 members. This has resulted in his reputation going downhill, his eventual departure from ''Bizaardvark'' and Team 10's popularity declining.
* WebVideo/JonTron was once a very famous and beloved online comedian in the early-to-mid days of [=YouTube=], whose popularity was practically on par with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd. He was also famous for his stint as the co-host of WebVideo/GameGrumps. These days, however, he is more known for getting his voicework removed from ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' after expressing statements that were viewed as racist and nativist on Twitter and during a live stream with known streamer Destiny, a known avid progressive.
* Josh Macedo was formerly a very popular and very well-liked blogger on both Website/YouTube and Website/{{Tumblr}}, known for his {{adorkable}} nerd persona, his "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shit-im-late-for-school I'm late for school]]" meme, and especially being an outspoken male feminist which helped garner him legions of fangirls. That is, until various women, a majority of them being underage, came out stating that Josh had sent them sexually explicit messages pressuring them for sex, along with images of himself either naked or masturbating. This ultimately destroyed Josh's reputation, and Josh himself has long since disappeared from internet life with his current whereabouts being unknown.
* LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate, already a divisive figure for his gaming skills (or lack there of), is also infamous for many things besides his Let's Plays. This includes his jokes about women, ethnic minorities and homosexuals that many found to be offensive, his VideoGame/DeadSpace2 demo playthrough (where the only joke was about a Nazi killing Jewish people, which got him banned from Blip.tv), his apparent inability to take criticism or respect others' opinions, rude behavior towards his fanbase, his treatment of John Rambo, Respect the Pact (which led to them both cutting all ties with him) and former girlfriend Leanne ([=PandaLee=]), and the time he was [[ADateWithRosiePalms accidentally caught masturbating during the end of a stream]]. These incidents have turned him from one of the most polarizing [=YouTubers=] to one of the most hated.
* Fashion and cosplayer vlogger Marina Joyce, famous for her friendship with WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer, is also infamously known for the fact that in mid 2016, many fans feared she had been kidnapped due to her videos showing her to be a lot less brighter than usual. While Joyce later admitted she was fine, her reputation has been rather sour among people who didn't know her before the incident, who see it as a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.
* It's often hard to discuss anything related to Website/{{Miiverse}} without bringing up the site's strict policy and administration system. It became even more controversial in July 2015, when the site was revamped from the ground up to make a post limit and a crackdown on topics that didn't relate to gaming. This immediately caused the site to gain the ire of anyone on the site who wasn't a hardcore gamer ([[PeripheryDemographic as the site was popular among image-board users, artists and roleplayers]]). The controversy regarding Miiverse is likely why the site was not given Nintendo Switch support, and its eventual closure in November 2017.
* It's impossible to discuss the videos of Anita Sarkeesian without discussing the critics she attracted, both legitimate and sexist.
* Very few people know about anything by comedian Nicole Arbour other than her [[AttentionWhore making controversial videos to attract visitors]], her most infamous being "Dear Fat People", and her abuse of WebVideo/MatthewSantoro when the two were in a relationship.
* LetsPlay/PewDiePie is among the most-subscribed and most watched [=YouTubers=]. Throughout 2017, however, his reputation started to derail due to making videos that were identified as anti-Semitic, which resulted him getting dropped by Disney and Google, his rape jokes, using the N-word during a livestream, referencing memes that are associated with the alt-right, badmouthing ''Bear Simulator'' so much that the developer of the game had decided to quit making games because of "drama" from the game, guest starring right-wing activist Ben Shapiro, following alt-right conspiracy theories, and endorsing a Neo-Nazi's [=YouTube=] channel.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [=YouTuber=] Tamashii Hiroka is more infamous for her radical-feminist viewpoints and behavior on social media than for her videos. Some incidents include her hatred of the Ralts (particularly Gardevoir), Buneary and Machop lines for being what she perceives as gender stereotypes, [[RealWomenDontWearDresses insulting women with a feminine lifestyle]], her angered responses when being confronted, and for calling someone a "Gardefag" for defending Gardevoir, all of which have made her a pariah among the ''Pokémon'' fandom.
* The Top Tens is a pretty average [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ranking list site]]. However, many people outside of the site tend to bring up many infamous lists that have attracted [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement attention that shouldn't be mentioned here for the sake of political flame wars]] (especially lists to do with countries), the administration and policy system which is regarded as being very lackluster, and the BrokenBase between pop fans and rock fans.

** The most infamous case would be in late 2017, where Paul posted a now-deleted video on [=YouTube=] featuring himself and three others finding a man in the Aokigahara "suicide" forest of Japan who had ''hanged himself'' and allegedly made insensitive jokes at the victim's expense, even including the dead body in the video's thumbnail. Not only did this lead to Logan Paul getting suspended and demonetized from [=YouTube=], but to his reputation doing a complete 180. On a related note, not long after, the incident caused [=YouTube=] to make significant changes to their creator program that have significantly divided the site's users.
** The above incident also caused a lot of Paul's other questionable antics in the past to start coming to light, which in turn caused even more controversy towards Paul, such as a prank involving him getting shot in front of his fans and tricking several underage girls into kissing his father, along with his series of vlogs showcasing him doing reckless behavior in public during his visit to Japan which culminated in said suicide forest video, causing some people to fear that it would lead to repercussions against foreign tourists visiting Japan. His attempts at healing the damage, such as trying to become an ambassador for suicide awareness and [[ImportantHaircut chopping off his signature curly perm]], have done nothing to help.
** He later shot back up into controversy after he was temporarily demonetized in February 2018 after videos of him killing a fish and tasering two dead rats came to light.
* Blog/CartoonBrew is a news website that was initially popular among animation fans for publishing articles, commentaries, and reviews about the animation industry. However, in subsequent years, the website has become notorious for the abrasive behavior of co-creator Amid Amidi, who has made biased and often slanderous criticisms towards various animators and networks in the industry[[note]]most notably Creator/LaurenFaust and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}[[/note]], organized a petition to stop people from drawing RuleThirtyFour of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', stated that ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' should be cancelled just because its [[Creator/ChrisSavino creator]] was fired following sexual harassment allegations, [[HitlerAteSugar even though the rest of the show's staff and cast were completely innocent]], and having an apparent belief that animation as a whole is dead. All of these factors have made him, and the blog as a whole, a complete pariah among the animation community.
* [=YouTuber=] and blogger Creator/LilyPeet was already a divisive figure on social media, but her radical political views and arrogant behavior have turned her into an internet pariah. The most noteworthy incidents that people know Peet for include her mangled relationship with former friend Creator/JoshScorcher[[note]]even going as far as to send him death threats[[/note]], various statements that were regarded as sexist and ableist, a tumblr post were she basically said that all Republicans are bigots who should be killed, supporting a friend of hers who was discovered to have possessed child pornography, her complete inability to take criticism or tolerate the opinion of others, accusing ''Steven Universe'' creator Rebecca Sugar, who is Jewish, [[GodwinsLaw of being a Neo-Nazi]], and the [[CriticalResearchFailure clear lack of research in her reviews]].
* Asalieri is remembered more for his jokes and comments that were viewed as transphobic (most infamously his Steel Beth character, a parody of WebVideo/IronLiz and calling her ex-boyfriend Creator/LewisLovhaug gay after she revealed that she was transgender), his social media fights with [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] and his fanbase, and his apparent opposition to [=YouTubers=] making money off their videos despite [[{{Hypocrite}} he himself making money off of his videos]], than for his WebVideo/ReviewingAReviewer series.
* While WebVideo/MLPAnalysis continues to be popular with most ''My Little Pony'' fans, it’s safe to say that their reputation will forever be tainted after it was discovered in January 2018 that one of its members, [=ToonKriticY2K=], engaged in sexual roleplays with a 14-year-old girl. Made worse when people started accusing other members of Analysis, such as Dr. Wolf and WebAnimation/SilverQuill, of being pedophiles themselves after posting a video that explained the issue, which some people mistook as them defending [=ToonKritic=] and his actions (someone even went as far as to [[https://www.change.org/p/bronycon-zero-tolerance-for-pedophiles-pedophile-enablers create a petition]] having them specifically banned from the community).
* ''The Harry Potter Lexicon'' was one of the two largest fan websites for the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series while the books were still running ([=MuggleNet=] being the other), but shortly after the series concluded the site became overshadowed by a copyright infringement scandal dubbed "[[{{Scandalgate}} Lexicongate]]" after it was discovered that the webmaster was attempting to get the site's contents published as a ''Harry Potter'' [[AllThereInTheManual reference book]] - ''without'' Creator/JKRowling's permission. When the site's creator complained about how hard it was to compile all the information into a book, she famously quipped "I know, I wrote most of it."
* Creator/TheFineBrothers were fairly well-known as directors[=/=]producers of popular Website/YouTube web series, most notably the ''WebVideo/{{React}}'' series which consisted of people of various ages (kids, teens, and adults) reacting to different forms of media like cartoons, music, movies, etc. However, in early 2016, the brothers announced a program known as ''React World'', in which they attempted to [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope copyright the term "React"]]. This caused ''massive'' InternetBackdraft, since many saw it as the brothers attempting to make money off of other people using a popular genre that they didn't even invent, as well as the fact that many other [=YouTubers=] had their reaction videos get copyright strikes shortly after the announcement. The brothers later tried to address the controversy, but [[FromBadToWorse only created more problems]] when they referred to the genre as their "brand".
* Toby Turner, better known as Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, was a fairly popular [=YouTuber=] thanks to his parody videos and music abilities. However, In 2016, allegations of rape, abuse, and peer pressure from several of his various ex-girlfriends were made against Turner, causing many within his fanbase to turn their backs on him. Although the allegations have yet to be proven, they still otherwise haunt Turner to this day.
* Popular Instagrammer [[http://instagram.com/kayla_itsines Kayla Itsines]] also fell victim to controversy in 2017, due to people claiming that the Instagram was "fake news", mainly because of [[UsefulNotes/TheNewTens the attitude from 2017 onwards towards the media]], with some people claiming that it was either [[AstroTurf astroturfing]], and some [[ConspiracyTheorist conspiracy theorists]] believed it was part of an attempt to distract people from Brexit and Donald Trump. As of November 2018, it still remains controversial.
* Website/{{Tumblr}} as a whole is one of the most popular and commonly used social media websites on the Internet, containing a reported 417.1 million blogs and receiving 555 million monthly visitors. However, over the years, the website has grown infamous for a multitude of reasons:
** Tumblr has always had persistent problems regarding intense cyberbullying, lack of any official content policy, failure to effectively incentivize or financially compensate its content creators, the creation of social justice blogs whose creators engage in extreme MoralGuardian behavior, bloggers who openly support and[=/=]or promote taboo subjects such as racism, Nazism, pedophilia, etc., the rise of porn bots, blogs that contain graphic pornographic content with links that are virus infested, and the website staff's lack of response to any of said issues.
** After the site's app was removed from the Apple store app due to it containing child pornography, the staff responded by terminating the accounts of the aforementioned porn bots. Unfortunately, however, they went overboard and [[MisplacedRetribution also terminated other NSFW blogs that were otherwise perfectly legit and harmless]]. Ultimately, this fully came to a head in December 2018, following the announcement that [[https://tumblr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/231885248-Sensitive-content it would no longer allow adult content]]. Some users were on board with this, since this would eliminate things like child and incest porn, until the site's filter bots began flagging everything ''but'' adult content, especially harmless LGBT posts. A good deal of mockery was also thrown Tumblr's way for the porn filter's very inconsistent flagging habits, quite often flagging things that weren't even close to pornographic, including on official Tumblr announcement blogs. For those who were still active on Tumblr following the first crackdown, that announcement was the final straw, and many have either left social media altogether or taken to alternative websites (most notably Website/{{Twitter}}, Website/{{Newgrounds}}, and Dreamwidth--the latter-most of which saw the biggest spike in user activity since its conception). To really pour salt on the wound, it turned out that [[https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/12/4/18126112/tumblr-porn-ban-verizon-ad-goals-sex-work-fandom the whole thing was being planned months in advance]] and was only about ease of advertising, not removing dangerous people or illegal content.
* Atheist [=YouTube=] vlogger [=Thunderf00t=] is well known for his exposing of creationism and junk science. However, he's even more well known for his extremely caustic attitude and his willingness to go after the social justice movement... in particular, being banned from Free Thought Blogs after one week, then publishing the members' mailing list in retaliation, mostly for refusing to go along with their feminist-positive ideology. His videos about Anita Sarkeesian in particular have brought about the most heat of all of his videos, leading most viewers to label him an unrepentent misogynist because of them.
* Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubein was the creator of the website Website/Fireball20XL, a site that hosted web comics, {{Sprite Comic}}s, music, podcasts, and video series centering around video games, especially ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. In 2016, allegations surfaced that Beaubien was a serial abuser, harasser, and {{ephebophile}} who had engaged in {{gaslighting}} and other abusive behavior towards his female staff members and other contacts. Though Beaubein denied it at first, an overwhelming amount of evidence soon came to the surface that he was lying. All of Beaubein's attempts to remove the damning evidence [[StreisandEffect only spread it further]], resulting in Fireball 20XL and Beaubein himself essentially getting chased off of the internet due to the backlash. The other staff members of the site would move on to bigger and better things, while Beaubein now does Let's Plays under the handle LetsPlay/BitPolar. Even so, his channel's low subscriber count indicates that Beaubein will never escape the controversy around him, and we here at TV Tropes have [[SincerityMode sincere warnings on his pages]] to never make contact with him.
* Austin Jones, a former [=YouTube=] star once famous for his music abilities, has become far more known for multiple instances of sexual misconduct, most notably his arrest in 2017 for the production and possession of child pornography.
* Noah Antwiler, also known as [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]], was once a very popular and respected internet personality. He was invited to become a member Channel Awesome, where he became a frequent contributor and popular member. While most producers stuck to a single subject or theme, Noah stood out by being willing to discuss a wide number of topics, including ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', movies, video games, and professional wrestling. This continued until he posted a tweet to WebVideo/JesuOtaku which contained an implied rape joke, which was partially responsible for Noah being removed from Channel Awesome. However, due to a combination of reasons ranging from his mental health issues, perfectionist demands, and ever-increasing promises, the flow of content from Noah slowed to a crawl around 2013. Noah has produced very few videos since 2016, mostly consisting of a single vlog for ''Film/TheLastJedi'' and the occasional livestream. What angered so many people is that Noah created a Patreon campaign where many of fans provided him with money, at one point reaching five thousand dollars a month, where he promised that he would begin production on a movie. All of these promises would go unfulfilled and his content would become nonexistent, meaning it was hard not to have the impression that Noah was freeloading off his fanbase's money. Not helping is that whenever anyone addressed Noah on any of these concerns, he would only react quite aggressively and with empty promises that content was on the way. Because of this, many of his fans have abandoned him. Noah is now largely seen as a cautionary tale of what not to do as a content creator.
* Chilean [=YouTuber=] Peluchin Entertainment, real name Matías Vera, was already hated for his poorly made videos, badgering other users, and sexual misconduct towards his female classmates. That being said, footage of him hitting one of his cats to death and throwing another to a toilet filed with poop destroyed his reputation altogether. Many, many Spanish-speaking [=YouTubers=] condemned his attitude, including famous ones like [=AuronPlay=] or Jordi Wild. His friends turned against him, and the outrage was so big that it even became worldwide news.
* Creator/MaxGilardi, already divisive due to his [[RefugeInAudacity crude and dark sense of humor]], had his reputation tainted in mid-2017 following allegations of expressing racist and antisemitic viewpoints on Twitter. Not helping was the fact that he took inspiration from John Kricfalus, who is quite a controversial figure himself (see Western Animation).
* Chad Rocco of WebVideo/FamiliarFaces is more known for his '''''extremely''''' deep hatred of the latter seasons ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', particularly after Creator/LaurenFaust left/, as well as rude and demeaning behavior towards anybody who enjoys them.
* [[http://bismuthspartnerincrime.tumblr.com/ Bismuth's Partner in Crime]] was one of the most prominent members of the "[=SU=] Critical" movement, a sub-sect of the ''Westernanimation/StevenUniverse'' fanbase dedicated to criticizing the later seasons of the show, to the point were he was some have called him the head honcho of the community. Already divisive among tumblr users, he became engulfed in several controversies that have made him a paraiah inside and outside of the critical community. These include re-blogging Rule34 of children's media (most infamously the ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' picture) despite his open opposition to it, his apparent belief that evilfriends is directly responsible for his fanbase harrassing him, re-blogging what turned out to be rape porn and claiming that it was an accident, his defensive reactions to any sort of criticisms, and accusing underage users of being pedophiles.[[https://ackeelovemail.tumblr.com/post/170494517165/ackee You can read about it all here.]]
* [=DaddyOFive=] will forever be tainted by allegations of child abuse, the ''massive'' amounts of evidence supporting the claim, the controversy over their "Invisible Ink Prank" video, and the backlash growing so big that two of children shown in their videos are now in the hands of their biological mother instead of the family shown in the videos and every last one of their videos has been taken down.
* Patreon artist and WebVideo/PlanetDolan star [=DoopieDoOver=] was briefly entwined into the Chris-chan controversy when she accepted a commission given by Chris and defended the decision, causing her much backlash from Chris' detractors. The drama eventually subsided once Doopie cut contact with Chris after Chris repeatedly made unwanted romantic advances toward her.
* Animator and former Philadelphian pistachio vendor Creator/EmilyYoucis was always a polarizing figure, but was well known in some parts of the internet (particularly the indie animation and horror scenes) for her BlackComedy and for the popular ''WebAnimation/AlfredsPlayhouse'' series. The revelation that she had ties with alt-right groups in 2016, and two tweets that supported this (where she first mocked Jewish people, then mocked African Americans) destroyed her reputation. Not only did it cost Youcis her job as a vendor, but also her support from Creator/{{Troma}}, and the respect of the animation community. Not helped was when she protested outside after being fired, which showcased her as a racist.
* Very few knew of the web film ''Innocence of Muslims'' on Website/{{YouTube}} until protests in Muslim-majority countries were triggered after an excerpt was aired on an Egyptian television station. The video actually led to [=YouTube=] being banned in many countries with said majorities.
* Chris Bores, a [=YouTuber=], has had a few controversies to his name.
** The only thing most people know about ''WebVideo/TheIrateGamer'' is accusations of plagiarism he faced due to the similarities to ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', and his questionable responses to it, most infamously a reply that Creator/JamesRolfe copied ''him'' and then telling the commentor to "go shove a kactus (sic) up your ass!"
** His "History of Video Games" series, itself ill-regarded, was overshadowed by an incredibly crude scene in the ''UsefulNotes/MagnavoxOdyssey'' episode in which he drew three fake cards from a game, which features two children on the overlay, reading "penis", "masturbation hand", and "vagina".
** His [=E3=] coverage was already considered to be lackluster, but it's mainly remembered for Chris pretending to blow up the Creator/{{Ubisoft}} building after he was denied entrance into their press conference.
* Former WebOriginal/{{Vine}} user, [=YouTuber=], Team 10 leader, and former ''Series/{{Bizaardvark}}'' star Creator/JakePaul is better known for many accusations of controversy than his career. This includes his reckless behavior during his three-month stay in Beverly Grove in Los Angeles, his infamous feud with [=RiceGum=], and numerous accusations of arrogance, rude behavior and abuse from former Team 10 members. This has resulted in his reputation going downhill, his eventual departure from ''Bizaardvark'' and Team 10's popularity declining.
* WebVideo/JonTron was once a very famous and beloved online comedian in the early-to-mid days of [=YouTube=], whose popularity was practically on par with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd. He was also famous for his stint as the co-host of WebVideo/GameGrumps. These days, however, he is more known for getting his voicework removed from ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' after expressing statements that were viewed as racist and nativist on Twitter and during a live stream with known streamer Destiny, a known avid progressive.
* Josh Macedo was formerly a very popular and very well-liked blogger on both Website/YouTube and Website/{{Tumblr}}, known for his {{adorkable}} nerd persona, his "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shit-im-late-for-school I'm late for school]]" meme, and especially being an outspoken male feminist which helped garner him legions of fangirls. That is, until various women, a majority of them being underage, came out stating that Josh had sent them sexually explicit messages pressuring them for sex, along with images of himself either naked or masturbating. This ultimately destroyed Josh's reputation, and Josh himself has long since disappeared from internet life with his current whereabouts being unknown.
* LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate, already a divisive figure for his gaming skills (or lack there of), is also infamous for many things besides his Let's Plays. This includes his jokes about women, ethnic minorities and homosexuals that many found to be offensive, his VideoGame/DeadSpace2 demo playthrough (where the only joke was about a Nazi killing Jewish people, which got him banned from Blip.tv), his apparent inability to take criticism or respect others' opinions, rude behavior towards his fanbase, his treatment of John Rambo, Respect the Pact (which led to them both cutting all ties with him) and former girlfriend Leanne ([=PandaLee=]), and the time he was [[ADateWithRosiePalms accidentally caught masturbating during the end of a stream]]. These incidents have turned him from one of the most polarizing [=YouTubers=] to one of the most hated.
* Fashion and cosplayer vlogger Marina Joyce, famous for her friendship with WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer, is also infamously known for the fact that in mid 2016, many fans feared she had been kidnapped due to her videos showing her to be a lot less brighter than usual. While Joyce later admitted she was fine, her reputation has been rather sour among people who didn't know her before the incident, who see it as a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.
* It's often hard to discuss anything related to Website/{{Miiverse}} without bringing up the site's strict policy and administration system. It became even more controversial in July 2015, when the site was revamped from the ground up to make a post limit and a crackdown on topics that didn't relate to gaming. This immediately caused the site to gain the ire of anyone on the site who wasn't a hardcore gamer ([[PeripheryDemographic as the site was popular among image-board users, artists and roleplayers]]). The controversy regarding Miiverse is likely why the site was not given Nintendo Switch support, and its eventual closure in November 2017.
* It's impossible to discuss the videos of Anita Sarkeesian without discussing the critics she attracted, both legitimate and sexist.
* Very few people know about anything by comedian Nicole Arbour other than her [[AttentionWhore making controversial videos to attract visitors]], her most infamous being "Dear Fat People", and her abuse of WebVideo/MatthewSantoro when the two were in a relationship.
* LetsPlay/PewDiePie is among the most-subscribed and most watched [=YouTubers=]. Throughout 2017, however, his reputation started to derail due to making videos that were identified as anti-Semitic, which resulted him getting dropped by Disney and Google, his rape jokes, using the N-word during a livestream, referencing memes that are associated with the alt-right, badmouthing ''Bear Simulator'' so much that the developer of the game had decided to quit making games because of "drama" from the game, guest starring right-wing activist Ben Shapiro, following alt-right conspiracy theories, and endorsing a Neo-Nazi's [=YouTube=] channel.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [=YouTuber=] Tamashii Hiroka is more infamous for her radical-feminist viewpoints and behavior on social media than for her videos. Some incidents include her hatred of the Ralts (particularly Gardevoir), Buneary and Machop lines for being what she perceives as gender stereotypes, [[RealWomenDontWearDresses insulting women with a feminine lifestyle]], her angered responses when being confronted, and for calling someone a "Gardefag" for defending Gardevoir, all of which have made her a pariah among the ''Pokémon'' fandom.
* The Top Tens is a pretty average [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ranking list site]]. However, many people outside of the site tend to bring up many infamous lists that have attracted [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement attention that shouldn't be mentioned here for the sake of political flame wars]] (especially lists to do with countries), the administration and policy system which is regarded as being very lackluster, and the BrokenBase between pop fans and rock fans.
* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'' has become infamous in the mid to late noughties for several controversies:
** Creator/AllisonPregler is mainly remembered for being removed from the site for, as she put it, being away from her computer during a surprise Skype call, which led to WebVideo/{{Phelous}} leaving in protest.
** WebVideo/TheAmazingAtheist is remembered mostly for his despised time with the website as "The Distressed Watcher", saying that people who enjoyed ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' even ironically [[FanHater deserve to be taken to a death camp and shot]], a comment about Jake Lloyd's performance in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' being so bad that he hoped he became a drug addict, calling a film worse than his father's death, his videos talking about feminism, and a time when he not only accused a rape victim of lying, but also told him to ''reexperience it''. These incidents have made him an internet pariah.
** Jake Norvell, a contributor of Creator/BradJones' works, is mostly known for having an affair with the girlfriend of Jones and subsequently bragging about it online, which resulted in an end to their professional relationship.
** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
*** The ''Manga/SailorMoon'' review is remembered mostly from the backlash it received from fans of the series, for several jokes that were viewed as sexist, using the soon-to-be-obsolete [=DiC=]/Cloverway dub instead of the original Japanese version, and the fact that he focused on the ages of the characters, than for any of its actual merits. The controversy drove Creator/DougWalker to refrain from creating more anime-related reviews outside of crossovers.[[note]]When he did review ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', he brought onboard anime fans Creator/LittleKuriboh and Creator/MasakoX as co-hosts to help explain the source material.[[/note]]
*** ''The Review Must Go On'' is mostly remembered for TheReveal that [[spoiler:The events of ''WebVideo/DemoReel'' were nothing more than a purgatory experience that happened to the Critic]].
*** His fourth commercial special is mainly remembered for the Canadian Rape [=PSA=] (he criticized it for being [[MoodWhiplash tone deaf]], but a lot of people mistook it as not liking the message) and the DoubleStandard sexual harassment RunningGag, in which he openly stated that men don't suffer from harassment because they can't tell who's interested in them or not.
*** His review of ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is mainly remembered for the fact that it came out while the movie was still in theaters,[[note]]He bypassed the inconvenience of not having footage from the film due to a lack of a home video release then by having the cast reenact scenes from the film.[[/note]] breaking the Critic's promise back in ''The Review Must Go On''. Critic mocked this in his TRMGO review, saying that he already broke a promise when he brought back the show.
*** The LetsPlay of ''Bart's Nightmare'' is far more well-known for the backlash it received than for the video itself, to the point where the following review of ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' had NC apologizing for it in character at the start; in a sketch where he got sent to prison for it, [[Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie placed next to the State Home for the Ugly, no less]].
*** His ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' review is mostly remembered for the joke he made about Splinter's voice sounding like he smoked a lot of Marlboro's, unaware that his voice actor in that film, Creator/{{Mako}}, died of lung cancer. He apologized for it in his ''Film/RedSonja'' review, and later made a RunningGag about it:
---> '''The Nostalgia Critic:''' I don't ''hate'' Mako, I don't ''know'' Mako.
*** Doug Walker himself got caught up in controversy in late March 2018 when ''Not So Awesome'' came to light, particularly his preferential treatment, production of the Anniversary Specials, and being an accomplice to the removal of Pregler. For his part, Doug did offer a sincere apology for everything, but the apology came too late. Every new Nostalgia Critic episode since the controversy began getting thousands of dislikes even when the episodes are relatively uncontroversial, as before then, the main reason for episodes getting over 1000 dislikes was when people disagreed strongly with his views.
*** His brother, co-writer and [=CFO=] Rob Walker, got hit with a larger backlash, not helped by his only response to the controversies being to delete his social media pages.
** The late [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin "JewWario" Carmical]] had his reputation ruined when allegations of grooming and rape came to light, as well as plenty of evidence supporting it, and suggestions that several higher ups knew about it, but did nothing more than remove him from the site. The amount of tributes he received after his death only [[InternetBackdraft added fuel to the fire]].
** The site as a whole became engulfed in controversy after a document titled: "[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WZFkR__B3Mk9EYQglvislMUx9HWvWhOaBP820UBa4dA Not So Awesome]]" came to the public's attention, listing numerous grievances with the company, including alleged abusive and misogynistic behavior by [=CEO=] Mike Michaud, sexual misconduct allegations towards former [=CFO=] Mike Ellis, preferential treatment towards Creator/DougWalker, which gave him a say in several corporate decisions, and several of the controversies listed above. The company's attempts to contain the controversy only made things worse, to the point where Doug was the only one to offer a genuine apology. Almost all of the secondary content creators except Creator/BradJones and WebVideo/{{GuruLarry|AndWez}} have left, [=#ChangeTheChannel=] has trended on Twitter, and the site's executives, Mike Michaud in particular, lost all their respect amongst the internet community.
* [=GameLife=] was once celebrated for being the first [=YouTube=] channel centered towards gaming, with talks of making the channel into a television show. Nowadays, they're not known for anything but the fact that the founder of the channel, Andrew Rosenblum, was arrested after threatening to shoot up his ex-girlfriend's school a day right after the Virginia Tech shooting.
* Vlogger and former Vine user Creator/LoganPaul, the older brother of the aforementioned Jake Paul, quickly rose up through his vlogging videos and popular clothing chain Maverick. However, Paul made himself the target of ''major'' controversy that tarnished his already polarizing reputation:
** The most infamous case would be in late 2017, where Paul posted a now-deleted video on [=YouTube=] featuring himself and three others finding a man in the Aokigahara "suicide" forest of Japan who had ''hanged himself'' and allegedly made insensitive jokes at the victim's expense, even including the dead body in the video's thumbnail. Not only did this lead to Logan Paul getting suspended and demonetized from [=YouTube=], but to his reputation doing a complete 180. On a related note, not long after, the incident caused [=YouTube=] to make significant changes to their creator program that have significantly divided the site's users.
** The above incident also caused a lot of Paul's other questionable antics in the past to start coming to light, which in turn caused even more controversy towards Paul, such as a prank involving him getting shot in front of his fans and tricking several underage girls into kissing his father, along with his series of vlogs showcasing him doing reckless behavior in public during his visit to Japan which culminated in said suicide forest video, causing some people to fear that it would lead to repercussions against foreign tourists visiting Japan. His attempts at healing the damage, such as trying to become an ambassador for suicide awareness and [[ImportantHaircut chopping off his signature curly perm]], have done nothing to help.
** He later shot back up into controversy after he was temporarily demonetized in February 2018 after videos of him killing a fish and tasering two dead rats came to light.
* Blog/CartoonBrew is a news website that was initially popular among animation fans for publishing articles, commentaries, and reviews about the animation industry. However, in subsequent years, the website has become notorious for the abrasive behavior of co-creator Amid Amidi, who has made biased and often slanderous criticisms towards various animators and networks in the industry[[note]]most notably Creator/LaurenFaust and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}[[/note]], organized a petition to stop people from drawing RuleThirtyFour of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', stated that ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' should be cancelled just because its [[Creator/ChrisSavino creator]] was fired following sexual harassment allegations, [[HitlerAteSugar even though the rest of the show's staff and cast were completely innocent]], and having an apparent belief that animation as a whole is dead. All of these factors have made him, and the blog as a whole, a complete pariah among the animation community.
* [=YouTuber=] and blogger Creator/LilyPeet was already a divisive figure on social media, but her radical political views and arrogant behavior have turned her into an internet pariah. The most noteworthy incidents that people know Peet for include her mangled relationship with former friend Creator/JoshScorcher[[note]]even going as far as to send him death threats[[/note]], various statements that were regarded as sexist and ableist, a tumblr post were she basically said that all Republicans are bigots who should be killed, supporting a friend of hers who was discovered to have possessed child pornography, her complete inability to take criticism or tolerate the opinion of others, accusing ''Steven Universe'' creator Rebecca Sugar, who is Jewish, [[GodwinsLaw of being a Neo-Nazi]], and the [[CriticalResearchFailure clear lack of research in her reviews]].
* Asalieri is remembered more for his jokes and comments that were viewed as transphobic (most infamously his Steel Beth character, a parody of WebVideo/IronLiz and calling her ex-boyfriend Creator/LewisLovhaug gay after she revealed that she was transgender), his social media fights with [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] and his fanbase, and his apparent opposition to [=YouTubers=] making money off their videos despite [[{{Hypocrite}} he himself making money off of his videos]], than for his WebVideo/ReviewingAReviewer series.
* While WebVideo/MLPAnalysis continues to be popular with most ''My Little Pony'' fans, it’s safe to say that their reputation will forever be tainted after it was discovered in January 2018 that one of its members, [=ToonKriticY2K=], engaged in sexual roleplays with a 14-year-old girl. Made worse when people started accusing other members of Analysis, such as Dr. Wolf and WebAnimation/SilverQuill, of being pedophiles themselves after posting a video that explained the issue, which some people mistook as them defending [=ToonKritic=] and his actions (someone even went as far as to [[https://www.change.org/p/bronycon-zero-tolerance-for-pedophiles-pedophile-enablers create a petition]] having them specifically banned from the community).
* ''The Harry Potter Lexicon'' was one of the two largest fan websites for the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series while the books were still running ([=MuggleNet=] being the other), but shortly after the series concluded the site became overshadowed by a copyright infringement scandal dubbed "[[{{Scandalgate}} Lexicongate]]" after it was discovered that the webmaster was attempting to get the site's contents published as a ''Harry Potter'' [[AllThereInTheManual reference book]] - ''without'' Creator/JKRowling's permission. When the site's creator complained about how hard it was to compile all the information into a book, she famously quipped "I know, I wrote most of it."
* Creator/TheFineBrothers were fairly well-known as directors[=/=]producers of popular Website/YouTube web series, most notably the ''WebVideo/{{React}}'' series which consisted of people of various ages (kids, teens, and adults) reacting to different forms of media like cartoons, music, movies, etc. However, in early 2016, the brothers announced a program known as ''React World'', in which they attempted to [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope copyright the term "React"]]. This caused ''massive'' InternetBackdraft, since many saw it as the brothers attempting to make money off of other people using a popular genre that they didn't even invent, as well as the fact that many other [=YouTubers=] had their reaction videos get copyright strikes shortly after the announcement. The brothers later tried to address the controversy, but [[FromBadToWorse only created more problems]] when they referred to the genre as their "brand".
* Toby Turner, better known as Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, was a fairly popular [=YouTuber=] thanks to his parody videos and music abilities. However, In 2016, allegations of rape, abuse, and peer pressure from several of his various ex-girlfriends were made against Turner, causing many within his fanbase to turn their backs on him. Although the allegations have yet to be proven, they still otherwise haunt Turner to this day.
* Popular Instagrammer [[http://instagram.com/kayla_itsines Kayla Itsines]] also fell victim to controversy in 2017, due to people claiming that the Instagram was "fake news", mainly because of [[UsefulNotes/TheNewTens the attitude from 2017 onwards towards the media]], with some people claiming that it was either [[AstroTurf astroturfing]], and some [[ConspiracyTheorist conspiracy theorists]] believed it was part of an attempt to distract people from Brexit and Donald Trump. As of November 2018, it still remains controversial.
* Website/{{Tumblr}} as a whole is one of the most popular and commonly used social media websites on the Internet, containing a reported 417.1 million blogs and receiving 555 million monthly visitors. However, over the years, the website has grown infamous for a multitude of reasons:
** Tumblr has always had persistent problems regarding intense cyberbullying, lack of any official content policy, failure to effectively incentivize or financially compensate its content creators, the creation of social justice blogs whose creators engage in extreme MoralGuardian behavior, bloggers who openly support and[=/=]or promote taboo subjects such as racism, Nazism, pedophilia, etc., the rise of porn bots, blogs that contain graphic pornographic content with links that are virus infested, and the website staff's lack of response to any of said issues.
** After the site's app was removed from the Apple store app due to it containing child pornography, the staff responded by terminating the accounts of the aforementioned porn bots. Unfortunately, however, they went overboard and [[MisplacedRetribution also terminated other NSFW blogs that were otherwise perfectly legit and harmless]]. Ultimately, this fully came to a head in December 2018, following the announcement that [[https://tumblr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/231885248-Sensitive-content it would no longer allow adult content]]. Some users were on board with this, since this would eliminate things like child and incest porn, until the site's filter bots began flagging everything ''but'' adult content, especially harmless LGBT posts. A good deal of mockery was also thrown Tumblr's way for the porn filter's very inconsistent flagging habits, quite often flagging things that weren't even close to pornographic, including on official Tumblr announcement blogs. For those who were still active on Tumblr following the first crackdown, that announcement was the final straw, and many have either left social media altogether or taken to alternative websites (most notably Website/{{Twitter}}, Website/{{Newgrounds}}, and Dreamwidth--the latter-most of which saw the biggest spike in user activity since its conception). To really pour salt on the wound, it turned out that [[https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/12/4/18126112/tumblr-porn-ban-verizon-ad-goals-sex-work-fandom the whole thing was being planned months in advance]] and was only about ease of advertising, not removing dangerous people or illegal content.
* Atheist [=YouTube=] vlogger [=Thunderf00t=] is well known for his exposing of creationism and junk science. However, he's even more well known for his extremely caustic attitude and his willingness to go after the social justice movement... in particular, being banned from Free Thought Blogs after one week, then publishing the members' mailing list in retaliation, mostly for refusing to go along with their feminist-positive ideology. His videos about Anita Sarkeesian in particular have brought about the most heat of all of his videos, leading most viewers to label him an unrepentent misogynist because of them.
* Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubein was the creator of the website Website/Fireball20XL, a site that hosted web comics, {{Sprite Comic}}s, music, podcasts, and video series centering around video games, especially ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. In 2016, allegations surfaced that Beaubien was a serial abuser, harasser, and {{ephebophile}} who had engaged in {{gaslighting}} and other abusive behavior towards his female staff members and other contacts. Though Beaubein denied it at first, an overwhelming amount of evidence soon came to the surface that he was lying. All of Beaubein's attempts to remove the damning evidence [[StreisandEffect only spread it further]], resulting in Fireball 20XL and Beaubein himself essentially getting chased off of the internet due to the backlash. The other staff members of the site would move on to bigger and better things, while Beaubein now does Let's Plays under the handle LetsPlay/BitPolar. Even so, his channel's low subscriber count indicates that Beaubein will never escape the controversy around him, and we here at TV Tropes have [[SincerityMode sincere warnings on his pages]] to never make contact with him.
* Austin Jones, a former [=YouTube=] star once famous for his music abilities, has become far more known for multiple instances of sexual misconduct, most notably his arrest in 2017 for the production and possession of child pornography.
* Noah Antwiler, also known as [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]], was once a very popular and respected internet personality. He was invited to become a member Channel Awesome, where he became a frequent contributor and popular member. While most producers stuck to a single subject or theme, Noah stood out by being willing to discuss a wide number of topics, including ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', movies, video games, and professional wrestling. This continued until he posted a tweet to WebVideo/JesuOtaku which contained an implied rape joke, which was partially responsible for Noah being removed from Channel Awesome. However, due to a combination of reasons ranging from his mental health issues, perfectionist demands, and ever-increasing promises, the flow of content from Noah slowed to a crawl around 2013. Noah has produced very few videos since 2016, mostly consisting of a single vlog for ''Film/TheLastJedi'' and the occasional livestream. What angered so many people is that Noah created a Patreon campaign where many of fans provided him with money, at one point reaching five thousand dollars a month, where he promised that he would begin production on a movie. All of these promises would go unfulfilled and his content would become nonexistent, meaning it was hard not to have the impression that Noah was freeloading off his fanbase's money. Not helping is that whenever anyone addressed Noah on any of these concerns, he would only react quite aggressively and with empty promises that content was on the way. Because of this, many of his fans have abandoned him. Noah is now largely seen as a cautionary tale of what not to do as a content creator.
* Chilean [=YouTuber=] Peluchin Entertainment, real name Matías Vera, was already hated for his poorly made videos, badgering other users, and sexual misconduct towards his female classmates. That being said, footage of him hitting one of his cats to death and throwing another to a toilet filed with poop destroyed his reputation altogether. Many, many Spanish-speaking [=YouTubers=] condemned his attitude, including famous ones like [=AuronPlay=] or Jordi Wild. His friends turned against him, and the outrage was so big that it even became worldwide news.
* Creator/MaxGilardi, already divisive due to his [[RefugeInAudacity crude and dark sense of humor]], had his reputation tainted in mid-2017 following allegations of expressing racist and antisemitic viewpoints on Twitter. Not helping was the fact that he took inspiration from John Kricfalus, who is quite a controversial figure himself (see Western Animation).
* Chad Rocco of WebVideo/FamiliarFaces is more known for his '''''extremely''''' deep hatred of the latter seasons ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', particularly after Creator/LaurenFaust left/, as well as rude and demeaning behavior towards anybody who enjoys them.
