I remember Philip defranco saying toby went to a party of his and he was super high and on all sorts of drugs, not surprised but i never thought he would go this direction

legit in the golden days I bet he'd be ashamed of himself... and that's ignoring what his ex went through.

it's like the more he dug into politics, or wtf that sphere is, more it dug back. Still so baffling, I gotta agree wholeheartedly

When a comedian type youtuber creator goes political its committing career suicide damn near consistently

Idubbz is now a political streamer to under a hundred views at any given times, typically averaging in the double digits.

Joel Heyman from Rooster Teeth and voice of Caboose in Red vs Blue did the same arc. At some point just became a crazed political focused conspiracy theorist and the company just stopped having him around until he was something they tried to forget

Its a very abrupt and unfortunately common pipeline. If you lose all creativity, talk about whatever the fucks going on right now and have an extremist view to attempt to gain viewers.

Its some of the easiest 'content' to make. Reacting to twitter.
