These eight YouTubers did irreversible damage to their Channel with one single video. And we're going to begin by talking about Jstation whose entire career came to an end as a result of an upload titled my Girlfriend Alexia Died Rest in Paradise last night we lost Alexia around 11 p.m I got a call from her parents telling me what happened. Jaystation stated that his girlfriend Alexia had gotten into a car crash and as a result had tragically passed away. Yeah to go and visit his girlfriend's Memorial on the side of the road.

this is actually the same road that she passed away on. Guys: I'm getting so emotional just being on this road where Jaystation seemed so emotional that he could barely get out of the car to look. Let's just go see the final goodbye for her. Everything's gonna be okay I don't know if I can do this.

However, his extremely emotional state here ran contrary to a video that he'd post three days later titled Dead Girlfriend Ouija Board challenge at 3am gone wrong in which he couldn't stop smiling. We're doing G4 challenge on my dead girlfriend s rest in English Oh wait, girlfriend, but smash the like button right now guys. One like equals one prayer I Always thought of one life. one player was a meme Here, guys rest in peace J Station's complete lack of emotion in this new video LED Fellow Canadian YouTubers Some ordinary gamers to call the Canadian police and say if any Alexia Murano had recently passed away Nobody by that name specifically has suffered any form of death right? Well, as mentioned by the police officer, Nobody by the name of Alexia had died and after other channels such as Penguin Zero covered the story, Alexia came forward to confirm that she was still alive I'm sure a lot of you are really confused as to what's going on right now bro bro Alive! What is this like? it's like ratio.

How is it so good? Sure, a lot of you are really confused as to what's going on right now. Uh, between me and Jay and the videos that he posted, Alexia would go on to explain that she had nothing to do with the Jstation videos I was not a part of anything and I didn't even know what he was gonna say in those videos before he posted them and as a result the two had broken up 29 months at times. Just mean to me, it's just like he was so mean. However, Jay Station then clapped back by showing Alexia helping out with the videos before trying to expose Alexia as being the crazy one out of the pair.

I've been a good person to you Alexia I'm giving about Checkers over the years again I've seen a lot in a drama. Listen: listen I don't want to be like yo lips and everything Okay I know I know better but I have to be honest chat what is this camera doing um I think this is overall just to do um one because um one. it only tells one side of the story and two if the guy is being recorded right, he knows to act one as good as possible and two to bait as much as possible right? And then they give you an edit. So this is like the trifecta, right? I Just love you.

Yeah, they know she doesn't, She then he's baiting it and then um, they're editing it so it's like dude, come on man, don't do it everyone will say but dude, they look unhinged but nah, sorry dude, that will never fly. yeah uh, that just doesn't fly dude, that's just dog. Well, it rarely flies Because unless there's something that is wrong all the time, such as sometimes I need to kill themselves like that, right? Well I mean you're you're your beaver isn't warranted, it's not. It's not justifiable, right? If you're aggravated and you're yelling whatever, right and things get crazy, yeah, that happens.

Man, it's life, yo. But um, that's just how it is. This is one original video I've been a good person to you Alexia Yeah, I get it, it's one-sided. But I do believe that there were some things that I saw that were just black on the white.

Always wrong. One doesn't matter, doesn't matter what context it is, Some behavior is just never okay. and there was a good amount of that. so that that's that's that's it.

This one didn't only lead to the collapse of their relationship, but it would also eventually result in J station's entire Channel Probably should have gotten some advice from Sam Pepper who had already ruined his image by posting an idiotic fake video. It went by the now Infamous Title Killing Best Friend prank and it began with Sam stating this: Let's see how he reacts to his best friend of five years being killed in front of him. The premise of the prank was that taken to a rooftop somewhere where one of the friends who was in on the prank is shot with a fade gun to see how the other friend will react. Even though they eventually reveal that the whole thing was one giant prank, the absolute magnitude of the stunt helped it to go viral, racking up over 9 million views in a little over three weeks.

But while the extremity of the video helped it to go viral, the prank also began to receive an unbelievable amount of backlash. It was obvious that Sam didn't care about the controversy in the beginning, as he'd respond to the drama by promising to delete his YouTube channel if he was donated 1.5 million on. GoFundMe Your goal is pretty steep here at 1.5 million dollars. I Just thought, if everyone hates my channel so much, they gotta put that money while their mouth is, you know? Yet this only seemed to add more fuel to the fire as he was still getting heavy backlash over three months later, at which point it became all too much to handle.

Sam Pepper would not only delete the original prank, but he'd rather unlist every single video from his entire Channel, leaving only one fresh new upload titled I'm Sorry in which he'd come forward and explained that the video was fake. no, why do people hate me like I've been in it? However, the damage had always been done and while Sam Pepper has since had some success on Tick Tock his channel never really recovered after posting the Best Friend prank Brookhout's Channel never recovered either as after she died, accidentally upload a video of her mistreating her dog, her reputation was destroyed permanently in the lead-up to posting the video 327 000 subscribers which as you can see from the videos on her Channel had been aided by her pet Doberman named Sphinx Brooke always put up the facade that she loved her dog more than anything else. Obviously, me and my dog are really close. we're besties, we hang out 24 7.

we're like 25 8 in my right. However, less than a month after starting this big red flag chat might do this. That's what it's like I don't care what what it comes from, let's just say on the 6th of Augustine Brook would accidentally upload a full uncut clip of her pranking the dog while treating it like absolute garbage as the video began to spread throughout social media almost every single news Outlet wrote an article on the story prompting a Change.org petition titled Banned Brookhouse from YouTube which received over 67 000 signatures. Peter would also take to Twitter in a post hoping that she was banned from the platform.

yet incredibly, her Channel remained active helping her to post a bizarre apology video about a month after the original incident. First, I Want to start this video by saying thank you I just want to genuinely say thank you Although this video did nothing to fix her image as after taking a seven month break from the platform, she'd return with an upload titled where I've Been which received an impressively terrible 98 dislike ratio, solidifying just how much damage this one video had done. However, Elise Brooke was never arrested for the controversy. see as when Count Dankula posted a 2-minute 23 Second clip of his dog, he'd end up appearing in court.

The video was uploaded in April 2016 and the premise was as follows: girlfriend has always run and Raven about how cute and adorable hubby dog is. so after our tournament is the least is this day. Now the premise was as follows: girlfriend is always running and Raven about how cute and adorable hubby dog is so I thought I would complimentally the least cutest thing that I could think of. In order to achieve this, Count Dankula taught his dog to perform a very controversial salute with the video racking up 2 million views in the weeks after it was uploaded.

Initially, the video was seen as a bit of comedic fun, However, on the 18th of February 2017, approximately 10 months later, Count Dankila would post a picture to Twitter confirming that he'd been arrested and would have to appear in court for posting the video. Five months later, Count Dankila would take to Twitter once again, stating trial starts tomorrow, no jury, only a judge, but it will be an open trial as in, members of the public can attend and as a result, many fans showed their support at the trial. However, this didn't seem to have any impact on the decision made by the judge who ruled Count Dankula guilty and ordered him to pay a one thousand dollar fine. The judge stated as a matter of law, the test is not whether the video was a offensive, but whether it was grossly offensive.

I concluded that your video was not just offensive, but grossly so as well as menacing. Wow! Countdown Killer was able to overcome this Hiccup and still maintains his popularity on YouTube up until this day. However, the same can't be said for the Try Guys member Ned former whose entire career came to a crashing end after a single video was posted of Ned cheating on his wife. The girl in the video was spelling of course I don't agree with you then and then the thing, but I think there is a pretty gross misrepresentation of like the whole thing as a whole where menacing I I don't know I I mean am I crazy we BuzzFeed employee Alex Herring who had been in BuzzFeed videos with Ned before and after the original screenshot of the two kissing went virally, a bunch of other evidence surfaced to confirm why.

Hold up, wait, he did a lot. Fellow: BuzzFeed employee Alex Herring who had been in BuzzFeed videos with Ned before and after the original screenshot of the two kissing went viral, a bunch of other evidence surfaced to confirm that Ned and Alex had been seeing each other behind the scenes. The event was so scandalous, not only because Ned his wife and Alex were all public figures, but because Ned's main stick within the videos was that he loved his wife so much and was therefore extremely dedicated to the marriage. Ned was literally known as the wife guy and would constantly talk about his wife and how much he loved her to the point where people have made compilations on YouTube of him mentioning her as a result of the Scandal Ned was fired from his house which was followed by the group posting their own video to explain the decision.

Ned Fulmer is no longer working with the try guys We found that Ned had engaged in conduct Unbecoming of our team and we knews I have to be honest chat. This is like catering it to cocklords and that I have to guess I do believe that cheating is bad I think this is just cringe. sorry I said it. You're you're you're cheating.

Okay, yeah, it's bad I Get it? Okay, it's a mistake. It doesn't look very good, right? It's a problem. but this that we could not move forward with him. He's now been fired and has publicly embarrassed his wife and two children.

Turns out Mr Nice Guy Dependable isn't so nice and dependable after all Ned former had months to stop his eventual collapse. However, PewDiePie wasn't quite so lucky as after making a single joke in a single video, he'd accidentally changed the social media landscape forever. The video was titled I've discovered the Greatest Thing online and it was posted on the 11th of January 2017. the premise was that PewDiePie was testing out the website Fiverr There's a website called Fiverr where you basically can ask anyone for anything for five dollar and therefore, as you might suspect, the video wasn't all that controversial.

In the beginning, he'd order a subscribe message from Jesus pay to have his pictures photoshopped and even had someone sing to him in. Hebrew However, it will be after PewDiePie ordered from the guys dancing in the jungle that things became controversial as a part of the fiver deal PewDiePie was given the opportunity to write a five-word message which the guys would hold up on a sign in the video. Well, PewDiePie decided to have a bit of fun with it and wrote an anti-semitic phrase just to see if they'd do it. And as you can tell from PewDiePie's reaction, they most certainly did, leading PewDiePie to State this I didn't think they would actually do it I feel partially responsible, but just I didn't think they would actually do like I'm not anti-symatic or whatever it's called.

Okay, so don't get the wrong idea. It was a funny meme and I didn't think it would work okay which was followed by the video being uploaded as usual. However, the response of the video generated certainly wasn't usual as only three days later articles oh Bob explaining that PewDiePie had been dropped by his Disney owned multi-channel Network Upon seeing Disney drop PewDiePie other advertisers such as Johnson and Johnson the UK government oh no pepper removed all advertising from the platform fearing that they might be put beside some unsavory content in order to get these advertisers to return. YouTube introduced the demonetization of non-family friendly content, leading some creators to instantly lose more than half of their revenue.

You know what? I'm gonna say it again. I think I think like I said last time, it's a bad thing, but it caused an acceleration of the process that would have happened to anyway, right? You just accepted the process is an overall negative, a phenomenon that the apocalypse. I Disagree. It can recover and heal and get bigger investors faster and back on track than, um, over time I Think this is actually overall helpful.

Okay us, our YouTube money was cut by more than 60 percent PewDiePie has since made a pretty good argument for why the adpocalypse wasn't really his fault. However, there was definitely no argument that Ryan Taylor could make after he'd post a completely unhinged video titled Nerf War in Toys R Us The video began with the explanation that Toys R Us was closing down permanently and therefore it would serve as the perfect place to have a Nerf war before they officially closed. However, for the exact same reason, the staff members seem completely unconcerned about keeping their jobs and began to tackle the boys instantly. After this exchange occurred, the conflict escalated further.

fibrous or slang you back, don't try and touch me, but believe me, well, that's not gonna end good I'm telling you right now oh Josh which eventually resulted in them being kicked out and Wrecking half of the store in the process. The video most certainly received a mixed response. Some people saw it as a hilarious piece of entertainment While others saw Ryan as nothing more than an idiot messing with low-wage workers who are already about to lose their jobs. But while Ryan Taylor had some support for the controversial video, the same couldn't be said for Logan Paul who quite possibly holds the gold trophy for the most.

The YouTubers are of course, where my fault 100 right, but still don't I mean dude, dude Damage Done to our reputation as the result of one single video Japan Forest Vlog Three words that transport everybody back to the 31st of December 2017 when Logan decided that he wanted to have an unconventional New Year's eve two years ago I fell in love with the idea of Um for New Year's slowing it down like going somewhere that's really isolated so we're in Tokyo Japan right now. Oh, this was the perfect time I Give you the Aoki Gahara. After deciding to camp in the forest, Logan and his crew found someone who had recently passed away and while Logan was extremely serious in the beginning, it wouldn't be long before he began to make jokes. At this point in time, Logan was one of YouTube's most hated creators.

so when he uploaded the video it created The Perfect Storm for the entire world to pile on with criticism. the pressure put on Logan prompted the now iconic so sorry apology. I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment, and while this video received over 60 million views, making it quite possibly the most well-known mistake in YouTube history, Logan was eventually able to repair his reputation. The people who drove there, the people who filmed, the people who attended they've all started video people who edited it.

Um, everybody. and it's because it's loaded. How does it happen ation using some very unique strategies? Watch it again. See.

because of money, right? But I think there's just like a like. there are a bunch of other problems then. um, took the pumpkins. Finish this game, Shall we? Yep, yo.

this is X x on this video I'm going through my voice as well. That has anyone knows that boy I don't know. he's just so soy anyone knows that boy I don't know. he's just so sorry.
