from trying to bribe Their audience with a $20 gift card after scamming them to crashing a plane for views there have been several YouTubers who have destroyed their careers and lives over a simple YouTube video hi I'm the internet Anarchist I create weekly YouTube documentaries and today we'll be looking into six YouTubers who ruined their reputation career and lives with a single video starting with Colleen Bellinger who had one of the biggest downfalls in YouTube history Colleen Bellinger AKA Miranda Sings has had a decade long career in Showbiz that saw her go from working as

a performer at Disneyland to becoming a widely beloved singer actress and comedian that could sell out entire theaters get her own Netflix series and rack up numerous Awards your choice webstar comedy is Colleen Binger the Miranda s in that time Ken's easily amasses staggering 20 million subscribers across her various YouTube channel channels naturally Colleen's brand of humor and overall aesthetic resonated more with a younger audience that loved and even idolized her for it however behind the red lipstick and bizarre Antics Colleen was doing far more than just entertaining her young and impressionable fans on the

28th of April 2020 a former fan and intern of Colleen named Adan McIntyre uploaded a video titled clean Ballinger stop lying where he alleged various inappropriate toxic and disturbing aspects of their online interactions the most shocking of which was when Colleen sent him lingery when he was in his early teens the following Month in May of 2020 Colleen made a video response to the situation and her loyal fans took her side sadly once 2023 rolled around more and more of Colleen's former fans began speaking out which put her in extremely hot water you'd think that

Colleen would see the writing on the wall and appropriately address the allegations mounted against her however on the 29th of June Colleen decided to end her career the same way she started it by singing All Aboard the toxic gossip train Ching down the tracks ofin within hours of the video going live it was widely acknowledged as one of the worst responses and apology videos in the history of YouTube with over 17 million views unbelievable cringe like this is some pure undiluted unhinged delusion here this is so strong I feel like it needs to be added

to the periodic table like the element of delusion that she is displaying here the sheer Havoc that Colleen's latest song brought on her career was unimaginable from June to August Colleen lost over 100,000 subscribers and hasn't seen any positive subscriber growth since with a few ship metrics across our channels completely flatlining to make things worse for Colleen she had to cancel a tour in 2023 and was forced to disappear from the internet for several months but once Colleen Did return she tried to act like nothing happened however the mass dislikes and hate comments reminded her

that the internet had not forgotten her dark Deeds this video was brought to you by cook Unity a revolutionary platform that's all about bringing Chef crafted meals straight to your home imagine having access to a diverse array of meals prepared by award-winning chefs or without leaving the comfort of your living room that's the convenience cook Unity offers what sets cook Unity apart is its Simplicity and flexibility you choose from a myriad of gourmet meals each week or if you prefer let cook Unity tailor selections to your taste the best part these culinary Delights arrive fully

popularity and notoriety he craved sure there were those that didn't like his attitude but there were even more people who wanted to see which Creator he was going to roast next however once he achieved a certain level of wealth and fame ricegum's personality rapidly shifted from a SN trash TOA to a soulless sellout so I'm just open up a few of these cheat boxes you know what I'm saying blue a fidget spinter all right come on I want to keep trying because it's only $4 like you know another fidget spinner like backto back fidget Spinners

like if they give me a fidget spinner one more time bro I'm ping my monitor I'm just going to have to airpod y i we still have Decor like I don't even have these yet I spent $4 for this yo I just finessed the website it was bad enough that Rice had spent Prime months flexing on his fans but the fact that he was now trying to make hundreds of thousands of dollars from scamming them brought his image to a new low and things were only going to get worse on the 3rd of January 2019

ricegum uploaded a video titled this dude calls me out for mystery unboxing in which he discussed the massive backlash he was getting and at the end of the video he left his viewers with this gem it's true it's true I'm an [ __ ] like what was I thinking like I can't really do much cuz I already did it the damage has been done you guys already saw money hungry side of me and it is what it is and there's nothing I can really do but say sorry and give you these Amazon gift cards so

I'm sorry it just wouldn't happen again Amazon codes $10 to $20 just a little giveaway it's the least I can do after you know this you know the mystery boook scanned was already a flaming mess as some of the community was already enraged at how easily certain creators promoted a scam but ricegum's nonchalant attitude to the situation was like adding gasoline to the fire rice scum's response to theu situation pushed his once little fans over the edge as many of them began to dislike bum's videos leave hate comments and unsubscribe in the hundreds of thousands

by July of 2020 rice scum had completely abandoned his channel only returning to participate in yet another scam whil rice scum had destroyed his reputation and left the platform willingly the same couldn't be said for its Owen who was kicked off the platform by team YouTube themselves it's Owen was a Creator willing to do anything for the sake of increasing viewership and subscriber Counts from click baiting viewers with over exaggerated thumbnails to hosting fake giveaways Owen was more than comfortable lying to his audience for some extra ad revenue for a while the Shady strategy worked

well for him Owen's campaign of clickbait allowed him to grow over 3 million subscribers on his main Channel however his luck would soon run out when in July of 20122 he posted a video titled Mr Beast final goodbye to technoblade this is Mr BEAST's final goodbye to technoblade and their last time playing Minecraft together I think you missed something down here You' missed anything actually wait wait wait wait wait wait no wait give me give me a second here I want to I have a cool trick that I can show you guys it had only

been a couple days after the tragic passing of technoblade and it's Owen was already trying to profit from the situation as you'd expect Owen quickly became one of the most hated YouTubers on the entire platform but that was the least of his worries on the 4th of July 2022 it Owen would take to Twitter to say my YouTube channel with over 1.5 million subscribers got wrongfully terminated for quote repeated violations of community guidelines unquote I did not violate any Community guidelines and never received a community guideline strike here is the Channel please fix this Owen

would continue to plead with Team YouTube for a second chance but those hopes were cut short with a tweet that read update we've reviewed your account and confirmed that your Channel was correctly suspended due to explicit content note that you would not be able to access or create any other YouTube accounts while there was some speculation around whether or not excessive clickbait was the cause of its own's downfall there was no mistaking the reason why Illuminati became one of the most hated creators on YouTube millions of monthly views an adoring fan base and a privileged

position at the top of the antimlm niche were just a few of the benefits Blair enjoyed at the height of her career however in April of 20 23 Blair would make one harshly worded tweet director League legal that set the stage for her inevitable collapse reading not legal eagle editors broaching my editors to take my video style and when they didn't give up the info they literally copied it just changed the color from purple to Blue huh interesting while Blair and legal eag were able to resolve the situation it opened up parts of her past

that she desperately tried to keep hidden it started with Twitter threats from Blair's former co-workers the click and wonder truck that both claimed she was extremely abusive vengeful and a hateful individual their claims were further corroborated by Blair's ex-boyfriend Oz media Blair's Twitter battle had primed some members of the audience to question their loyalty to her however it was her response video that truly turned them all against her on the 28th of April 2023 Blair published the infamous Illumina exposed video which would Garner over 1.2 million views bringing the attention of a community to the

recent drama she was involved in in the worst way possible check um a lot of the things that I'm going to talk about in the like most of this video to be totally honest with you are things kind of from the past they involve old friends um people that I used to consider close friends and I used to trust and really enjoy spending time with and kind of reopening a lot of these wounds is really painful um it's really uncomfortable and it's not something I ever thought I would ever have to speak about especially not

in this kind of way from trying to emotionally manipulate her viewers to harshly slandering her former friends at sad milk to deflecting all criticism Blair was trying everything she could to swing the public opinion in her favor but it did the exact opposite in the months that followed numerous creators that interacted with Blair in the past spoke out and debunked the claims that she made in a response video The Click revealed a smear campaign Blair started against him W struck detailed all the underhanded methods Blair used to take away the car he was living in

and Oz described his time with Blair as she put him into massive debt and is now trying to make him homeless what I can only describe as retaliation from the person who's my ex former employer and prior colleague Blair is in the process of currently foreclosing my home because of this stress of Blair taking my home from me I need to pump the brakes and change directions so I won't be homeless come Christmas but cuz that's when Blair set my home to foreclose right before Christmas and yes Blair has the power to set the forclosure

sale this combined with numerous other aspects of Blair's Past coming to light and it's no wonder why your channel lost almost half a million subscribers lost major sponsorships and gets less than 20K views per video Blair had threatened other credits with legal action and paid dearly for it but she was far from the only one to suffer that fate as Jon the completionist lost his entire career over a similar mistep Gerard's image on YouTube has always been of a funloving guy who completes games and tries to do the right thing however that positive image was

called into question after KY jobst and mudahar from some ordinary gamers looked into the activities of Gerard's charity organization the Open Hand Foundation they discovered that the foundation did not distributed any of the $600,000 in funds raised from viewers during Gerard's annual indie fundraiser or from the foundation's golf tournaments an observation that directly contradicted Gerard's frequent claims of donating the money to various Charities or research organizations this sparked a massive back and forth between mudar Carl and Gerard jard defending himself by stating that he wasn't aware the funds weren't donated yet while muda and car

tried to hold him accountable for the mismanaged funds at the start of the debate the public opinion on the situation was mostly neutral as the YouTube Community was waiting for more evidence but unfortunately it was Gerard's official response to the controversy that tipped the scales against him on the 9th of December 2023 Gerard released a video titled my response wherein he apologized to his viewers shared his side of the story and suggested possible legal action against car and muda I should have been more transparent about the money not being donated and that's on me but

my family and I have not done anything illegal not before then and not since and as mentioned previously we have correspondents from the IRS to prove that furthermore my family and I are in serious conversations with our legal teams regarding next steps as the allegations that have been made have been made with complete disregard for the truth of the matter these allegations were made by individuals who self-admittedly aren't even Financial or legal professionals these allegations are slanderous and we believe we're done with selfish intent although gerro had donated the fund his lack of transparency deflection

of criticism by using his dead mother's name and intent to take legal action against the other side rub the YouTube Community the wrong way resulting in his video gaining 98,000 dislikes compared to just 20,000 likes with the comment section being equally as harsh invoking your mother's name seven times in attempt to Gunner sympathy while not donating a single penny for 10 years to fight the disease she died from is about as low of behavior I can stand dude's done Gerard you just you just admitted to committing embezzlement you admitted yourself you did a worse crime

than you were accused of as well as Gerard's the kind of guy where if he has no argument left he'll send you a PDF of his mom's autopsy and threaten legal action truly an inspiring man this would all result in YouTube commentator pinkin zero AKA Charlie to further expose Gerard on his massive platform he admits fault for potentially misleading people on the purpose of the Open Hand foundation and where the money goes even though he blatantly misleads them he explicitly said that it was going places it wasn't that's not just like hey I'm sorry you

felt this way or I'm sorry you got all these dumb ideas in your head you bunch of [ __ ] dummies you you you picked up these breadcrumbs I didn't mean to drop sorry you did that you blatantly misled them these developments prompted a response from Carl who rebuked his claims and released their full Discord call from mudahar which revealed Gerard had a much different turn when he was initially confronted pulling one threat about the charity thing is going to upheave my entire life in a way that scares the living crap out of me and

I don't want to go home tonight and tell everyone hey there is a gigantic thing coming to claim my career and you all have to close down and find somewhere else to do I know this is shooting me to say this I'm not trying to ask for sympathy or anything but this kind of stuff I mean I've been following your guys' stuff for years the stuff with bil Mitchell Carl the stuff that you done M with tons of content creators over the years like there's no Nuance to this people going to see this and they're

going to Meely go that Gerard guy who's been nice to a bunch of people actually isn't very nice overall him let's get rid of him and that's the thing that I'm terrified the most because I don't have the power opportunity for that that's not in my control I've got nothing in my pockets to do that I have nothing and so that's just where my head's at I just want to be able to create content and do good in the world and this is just going to it's even if I survive this somehow even if this

is like people are like well whatever that's how it is it's going to take the passion out of what I do I no I'm I'm people aren't going to trust me ever again I'm not going to trust myself ever again and I'm just gonna walk away from all this like I I just this is like me being like great so I'm out not just of of of content creation or or being an online personality I'm just gonna I'm just going to stop I'm just going to disappear and start over and and never talk to anyone

ever again and that's like that's the spiraling that I've been dealing with the last three days of talking to therapists and doctors and just figuring this whole thing out in the wake of the Discord cool going public Gerard had not only lost the trust of his viewers but over 80,000 subscribers with his latest videos also getting dislike bombed while Gerard had stupidly lost his career and reputation in the Flames of controversy Trevor Jacobs lost his entire Online Career and freedom in an actual fire participating in extreme sports was how Trevor simultaneously earned a living and

enjoyed his life from earning various accolades and snowboarding to working in Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus it was obvious that Trevor lived to engage in The Most Extreme stunts imaginable however one particular stunt would prove to be more than he bargained for on the 24th of December 2023 Trevor uploaded a video titled I crashed my airplane the video starts with Trevor informing his audience about his mission to fly to the Sierra Nevada mountains to spread his best friend's ashes across the landscape however once he was in the air Trevor claimed he was experiencing an engine failure

and made the Split Second decision to jump out the plane [Music] [Music] as Trevor Glides to safety you can now see the unmaned aircraft plummet to the ground as the footage cuts from GoPros attached to it and the footage captured from above the craft a detail that will become important later on by the time Trevor makes it to the ground he chooses to find the plane and retrieve the GoPros instead of making his way to civilization oh my God and it's so hot out here I'm freaking I need water so bad oh I spot the

plane I see it down there oh my [Music] God wow once Trevor returned to civilization and uploaded the video to YouTube it would quickly go viral catching the attention of numerous Aviation experts who analyzed the video and stated that Trevor did the exact opposite of the standard procedure during an engine failure instead of angling and gliding the plane for as long as possible to find a safe place to land Trevor simply abandoned the plane midair after Trevor reported the crash on the 6th of November 2021 2 days after the crash the national transport safety board

and Federal Aviation Association launched investigations on what really happened investigators examined the wreckage question Trevor and analyzed his YouTube after about 4 months into the investigation they uncovered that the engine didn't fail and that Trevor piloted the aircraft with the intent to crash it which is a felony following this Trevor's pilot license was revoked and the News made national Headlines by the 11th of May 2023 he agreed to take a plea deal to avoid a maximum sentence of 20 years for the crime admitting to obstructing a federal investigation and intentionally crashing his plane in his

latest video titled I got my pilot license back but going to prison Trevor tries to reflect on the incident positively despite the impending consequences not long after the video was uploaded Trevor received a 6-month sentence in federal prison for obstructing a federal investigation considering the severity of his crimes Trevor was walking away with a slap on the wrist it goes without saying but forging a career as an online Creator takes years to achieve and if you're not careful it could come crumbling down in seconds some may meet this fate due to an unchecked ego or

Reckless self- endurance either way these creators disrespected the community that helped them get to where they are today and they always pay for it if you enjoyed this video you'll love my video on Jack doy one of the most hated YouTubers on the platform who completely deserves it
