Not sure about Betus, but slowbeef is still around streaming on twitch.
Julien still streams on twitch and he's an absolute joy.Surprised nobody's mentioned Jenna Marbles. She was absolutely a fixture on YouTube for nearly a decade and shut it all down because of a (deserved) blackface accusation. She issued what seemed like a serious, heartfelt, and reflective apology and then absolutely just vanished from sight. Most recently she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend earlier this year but they've since both deactivated their Twitter accounts. Absolutely wild.
A year without Jenna Marbles - The Berkeley Beacon
Marbles’ apology stood out from other apology videos on the platform because it was clear that she felt genuinely sorry, and she acknowledged that you can’t really stop hurting people while continuing to profit off the successes of your past mistakes.berkeleybeacon.com
Damnit somehow I missed this.

I've been watching him lately. He has 1 million subs, and his videos get 0.25mill views, mostly "busting" videos. He's doing ok.
Christ, I remember SpoonyOne's Twitch streaming attempts.
Lindsay Ellis and Phelan Porteous are absolutely blossoming rn.
If he really alt-right though? I remember him being vocally anti-Trump (because Trump isanti-science) and I see a few videos calling out alt-right politicians as well as Covid denialism.
Last time I saw him, years ago, all his videos had turned into anti-feminist and anti-SJW crap. Never seen him since.
Thanks for sharing this. I remember enjoying that I Want To Be The Guy LP and remember when one day the channel was just gone after a stint of just not paying attention to it. I knew he was kinda messy on terms of getting into it with others, but thought his delivery in the content was funny. Of course I was also in high school at the time so I might find it grating now if I tried returning to it. Glad to see he turned out alright, based on that link. Might go check it out later!Not as big as some mentioned YouTubers, but others might remember him:

Aaron, better known online as Magatsu Cloud (formerly Cloud8745), is an American pioneer in YouTube Let's Plays/walkthroughs, which is a popular form of videos on YouTube. He was the first person to do walkthroughs on several games, such as Silent Hill and Kirby 64, though his most well known...youtube.fandom.com
The guy was one of the let's players before it became a thing on YouTube.
Unsurprisingly there was a ton of drama and toxicity that surrounded the guy. Bad mental states and toxic fanbases are a bad mix.
Cloud's still around, but obviously not as prominent as he was way back in the mid to late 00s.
Cloud and his former troll TheArchFiend apparently had a conversation last year, which was wild to see considering the drama between them.
Benzaie went on to be a pretty big youtuber/streamer in the French scene since he left TGWTG in 2011. Of course, most of his curent audience doesn't know about his past career on TGWTG because of the language switch.
Changes in how copyright law is applied on Youtube pretty much killed abridging altogether. Team Fourstar themselves where not only burnt out by DBZA creation, but also from dealing with constant takedowns, and not owning most of what they'd worked on.
Either way Jon doesn't do anything I'm interested in anymore and I'm glad he left GameGrumps when he did. I remember the big deal it was when he did his Star Wars games series of videos and in the last one he had Arin do a guest spot so people could finally shut up about the drama.
Yeah i remember watching them eat fast food and stuff like that and enjoying it. Then i caught all their right wing stuff years later and was like annnnnndddd unsub.
Holy shit he made me laugh so much on a couple of his cod 4 mw lets play videos. He leaned on the console wars thing hard, I remember he made a video juat to announce which console he was going to buy.
What the hell yesterday I literally was randomly thinking about the youtube rant community for some reason
