Misc We all know about Youtubers who fell off, but...

[Kyokoneko]

Are there any youtubers that ended up doing the opposite?

What I mean is: What if a youtuber became popular for negative reasons first, then later on gained more positive popularity?

The closest thing to this that I can think of is Mr Enter.

He was (from what I understand) a reasonably disliked media reviewer, but became more well liked around the time he made a video talking about his worst videos, and for him helping expose one of his former friends: Giant Star Productions.

I might be wrong about this, so pleas let me know if I am.

That's actually kinda rare the more I think about it
With that said the only youtuber I could say went through the opposite is Lofe

Okay now we have a new one, Kikocado, he legit finally went through a character arc

Only on a garbage site like YouTube you can start your career as an unlikeable jerk only to become popular when you start talking badly about other people.

YouTube is just a giant forum of gossip.

Youtube is great, maybe don't watch gossip videos

Story arc of the century, gotta wonder how long hes been keeping it up, or if the Nikacado in the video is the real him, or an even further back recording. Idk what to believe anymore

Way to miss the point there. You just went back to the hexadecimal table.

Literally the post above yours shows a guy that trolled the whole garbage site by faking a mental illness for clout, stopped making videos to increase that gossip and then came back to show how much of fools people who use the platform are.

It's all fake and aimed to work the algorhythm. The bad side of YouTube and the "good" site that stills advertises things like Raid shadow legends and dropshipping labels, with the massive fanbase justifying their multimillion revenue ads from people's misfortunes and addictions as "a man gotta eat". If you're happy to be part of this thing feel free to, but don't act like YouTube is a good platform. Cocomelon has better morals than the rest of the YT partners combined.

You're missing the point, I don't care about the algorithm or peoples morals, I'm saying if you like watching speedruns, watch those. Bird watching? Watch repair? Cooking steaks? Whatever you're into, there's unlimited content.. not just the evil content creators that you're trying to denounce the whole platform over

Ah yes speedruns. The most popular YT channels about those make gossip videos all the time about anything but the speedrun themselves (and one youtuber even killed himself). They know that's the only way to get views. Can't you understand that the way the site works is polluting content? Seriously lmao.

Way to pick one thing out of everything I said and ignore my point.. replace speedruns with knitting in my example then, I'm meaning just watch videos about whatever your interests are and ignore the drama

Jesus christ what have I done

 

[Etwoment]

Yeah, I think there are a few examples like that. One that comes to mind is iDubbbz. He used to get a lot of attention for his controversial content, but more recently, people have started seeing him in a more positive light after he shifted his content and made that documentary about Sam Hyde.

AFAIK he was harassed and called a cuck for supporting his partner's OnlyFans, and his OG audience hated him for shifting away from his old style.

Either way, I think it counts. His old fans were mostly tryhard edgelords from what I've seen, and I kinda hate his old style...

Did you start a channel and only grown it to four subs (all family members) after a year, or something similar? Because this seems personal for you.

 

[Shroudednightmare]

avgn he's still doing numbers views and subs wise to this day

I think they're just bitter. Their short time here thus far has been mostly bile.

PewDiePie was actually fairly despised by most of the internet during his let's play days where he got huge. Only become well liked after transitioning away from that content.
