** She quietly privatized "Dead Genres Tell No Tales", her essay on ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', where she made several comments on Creator/JohnnyDepp's real-world character, largely based on the highly publicized allegations of being a domestic abuser towards Creator/AmberHeard.

** In 2022 her video "Mask Off" was unlisted as a result of the video ultimately not doing anything to stop the harassment she was getting and only made her a more obvious target.

** A more humorous instance of this; in her ''Loose Canon'' retrospective on ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', she notes an amusing moment in [[Series/ThePhantomOfTheOpera the 1990 miniseries]] where [[ItMakesSenseInContext Erik punches a fake deer in the face]], but her joke[[note]]"Let's watch that again!"[[/note]] flubs up due to a misplaced edit. Years later in "The Most Whitewashed Character In Literary History", while re-summarizing the material from said ''Loose Canon'' video, she takes the opportunity to play the joke correctly this time.

** Her entire body of work as the Nostalgia Chick, aside from ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' and the four-part review on ''Franchise/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy, was at first shifted over to a second channel to distance herself from it because she considered it worse than her work from 2015 onwards, and then privated altogether after the Website/YouTube algorithm started promoting those videos around the time of her book release and confusing her potential new viewers. ([[KeepCirculatingTheTapes fans have kept the other videos alive]] in sites such as the Internet Archive and the Lost Media Wiki)

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: On her Loose Canon video on [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]], she claims that [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]] still owns the rights to 1939's ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''... except they don't anymore. Creator/WarnerBros have owned the rights since MGM sold most of their Turner catalog to them in the late 90s. She also confuses the release dates of the ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' Broadway musical and the similarly-titled, but totally unrelated movie ''Film/Wicked1998''.

** She has gone on record to say that she regretted the crossover review of ''Film/MoulinRouge'' because Creator/DougWalker wrote it and her lines were his opinions, since she actually enjoys the film. In her essay of ''Phantom of the Opera'' she talks more positively about ''Film/MoulinRouge'' and why it works as a film. She delves deeper into her love of the movie and its craft in the Musicalsplaining episode on the film, as well as into her regret of the episode. About the only criticism that she still stands by is that Christian is terrible.

* ArtistDisillusionment: As expressed in her announcement of retirement from content creation on Patreon on December 27, 2021, combined with a heavy dose of CelebrityIsOverrated, she regrets her entire career in the public eye because of the negativity it brought her:

* ReclusiveArtist: Following her retirement from content creation in December 2021, Lindsay consciously stepped away from social media, with her next major public appearance being in June 2022 as a surprise [=VidCon=] panelist, [[https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/former-youtuber-lindsay-ellis-says-s-learning-live-trauma-canceled-rcna35389 where she noted]] that she may have to eventually return to social media for the sake of promoting her books, but will require additional care as to not provoke further controversy and reopen old wounds. She would make her online return in October 2022, but in vastly more limited capacity: her newer video essays are exclusive to Nebula, and her newly-reinstated Twitter remains "protected".
