** [[{{Franchise/StarWars}} Darth Vader]] is also primarily characterized on the site by his infamous [[BigNo NOOOOO!]] at the end of Film/RevengeOfTheSith, so rather than a badass, intimidating villain, he more commonly appears as a man who is [[ButtMonkey constantly failing at things]], even to the [[TheWoobie point of sympathy]].

** The Mac Tonight character used on the Moon Man fad was originally used to promote extended operating hours at UsefulNotes/McDonalds, only for it to be further co-opted in the 2010s by the alt-right and other hate groups--the Anti-Defamation League added the character to their list of hate symbols.

** YTMND's popularity had been plummeting since late 2006, but Max's controversial 2011 renovation of the site (complete with a royal purple/fluorescent red color scheme) narrowed the number of recurring YTMND users down to double digits. Also, troll user Superdreamkilla's constant content spamming hasn't helped.
** Max later revamped the site again into a far more popular design that somewhat resembled the older one, but with more features. Unfortunately, the site's popularity has more or less remained stagnant, thanks to a flood of new troll users and a never-ending bitter feud between prominent users Umfuld, [=DarthWang=] and Superdreamkilla.

** The user Umfuld, who thinks only the kinds of sites he makes are any good and anyone who makes different kinds of sites is deliberately trolling and trying to ruin YTMND, and he does things like automatically downvoting the sites of every user he doesn't like using multiple alternate accounts because of this
** This was also the reasoning of the famed user "inkdrinker", who believed that the only YTMND's that were any good followed the original site's mission of "picture, text, sound". He downvoted thousands of pages that included videos, effects, soundclips that went on longer than a few seconds or anything that bucked the trend of the original sites.
