    Most YouTubers are the worst kinds of people to get famous, alongside Twitch streamers. They just don’t really know how to handle it, they let it all get to their head eventually and things come crashing down bit by bit once it’s inevitably revealed that they’re shit people.

    Who’s next? Good Mythical Morning? PewDiePie? It’s almost like every year or other year, someone who made it big on YouTube/Twitch has a fall from grace moment.

      I don’t watch GMM but I always got the impression that they were really good dudes who use their status to lift other people up. But maybe I’ve been fooled.

      They seemed really genuine in the video they made about their religious upbringing and the regrets they had from that time

        As someone who has subscribed to them off and on a few times. I know that they seem like they’re very open people who play it safe and probably could be the kind of guys you’d be buddies with. Yet I too sometimes cannot shake this lingering feeling that something at somepoint is going to blow up.

        I just don’t know.

        I used to watch every day. And I always just had this gut feeling that Rhett isn’t quite as chill and wholesome as he portrays.

          I definitely get the vibe they’re basically done with GMM but it’s difficult to walk away from the ATM they’ve built. I still feel like they’re genuine guys who feel lucky to be where they are but they haven’t been exactly secretive about their desire to do new things.

      PewDiePie straight up used the N word and it came way too naturally from his mouth, that was a looong time ago.

      Please just don’t let the Cart Narc have a scandal. His work is too important.
