Logan Paul
Logan Paul’s demise came from a lengthy vlog of his trip to Japan, where he visited the tourist-trap “suicide forest,” Aokigahara Forest. There is footage of a dead body hanging from a tree in the vlog, and Paul is shown cracking jokes and acting completely insensitive. In a statement following EXTREME criticism, Paul apologized and said he was only trying to bring awareness to suicide and suicide prevention, but many found that hard to believe. As a result, YouTube temporarily suspended its ad revenue, one of the biggest sources of income for a YouTuber.

Anthony Fantano
Fantano is a visionary music reviewer on YouTube, thanks to his channel The Needle Drop, where he discusses new music by our favorite bands. However, in 2017, The Fader wrote an article revealing Fantano was also the brains behind the alt-right channel thatistheplan. It’s basically cringey 4Chan-style material of rants against SJWs and feminism. Fantano eventually admitted his defeat and removed the channel. In the meantime, he also lost 400,000 subscribers.
