** As noted under MisaimedFandom on the YMMV page, many of the users who created and popularized the Moon Man fad, which portrayed UsefulNotes/McDonalds' Mac Tonight mascot as a bigoted MemeticPsychopath, distanced themselves from it, since it went from an ironic joke about a racist character to a hate symbol used by actual racists.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The peak of [=YTMND=]'s popularity was in the mid-'00s, so most of the pages made for it would have been made around then. Any that are still online today can come across as time capsules containing '00s memes and pop-culture references. Even Max acknowledged this in 2016, saying that he didn't have much interest in it beyond "good memories". Max is still looking out for the site though, partly restoring its functions after the site database suffered a fatal crash in May 2019, and has since been working on creating a proper archive version of the site so that future generations might explore the old content.

* AcclaimedFlop: For a certain definition of "flop" - YTMND got lots of traffic in its heyday, but the fact that it had an "anything goes" mentality regarding content (up to and including the out-and-out use of hardcore porn on some of the sites, with only downright illegal content being removed) made attracting advertisers a perpetual challenge. As such, in spite of the fact that it was, at one point, a major internet subculture hub, it made a lot less money than its popularity would imply.

* ReclusiveArtist: Even at the height of [=YTMND=]'s popularity, its creator, Max Goldberg, kept a very low profile, revealing few details about himself and his personal life and generally keeping himself behind the scenes. Even years after the website had lost almost all of its traffic and cultural relevance, it took a Gizmodo reporter seven months worth of e-mails to convince Max to give an over-the-phone interview, with Goldberg commenting that he was "wary about meeting people from the internet, especially about YTMND."
