We're starting off with a big one and to be perfectly honest here, I typically avoid big well-known YouTuber's like this one because they aren't that interesting. Sure, there's a lot of them to go around, but even if they're content sucks so bad to the point where they're irrelevant then it's enough to make a post about it. I've never talked about this YouTuber at all and I'm not even sure who this guy supposed to be. But since I insist, we are going to be talking about Guava Juice (named after the drink); a YouTuber who makes a variety of videos such as comedy and skits but has fallen off the deep end with the constant clickbait titles/thumbnails and the content farming. Even worse is when he follows the current trend.
Guava Juice (formerly known as Roi Fabito, Roi Wassabi and aynakoitsroi) started his account on July 18, 2006, and uploaded the first video 10 days later on July 28, 2006, with the first video titled "hey." In the early days, Roi would do comedic videos and skits and would post videos not very often. A few video skits are I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Soulja Boy Up In This OHHH!!, Ninja Books, TK's Jungle Adventure, Blue RANGER! and so on. In 2015 he switched his content from comedic skits to gaming videos with the first video titled "POKEMON MURDERER! Pixelmon Part 1" and would play games like Emily is Away, Happy Wheels, Turbo Dismount, Paint The Town Red and others.
The Fall:
The Change in Low Quality Content / The Decline:

| Guava Juice's Content from 2022. |
We probably already know where this is going. For the people who grew up watching Guava Juice (a.k.a. Roi), you know that he used to be comedic for the way he produced his content way back in the day. Nowadays, he just resorts to content that just appeals to kids and it's downright cringy. He also resorts to the current trends such as the terrible 3AM Challenge videos similar to ImJayStation and N&A Productions but these were short lived. When YouTube Shorts came out, it gave Roi an idea to post as many short videos as possible within a single day. In other words, he took the quantity route vs the quality of his content which is very depressing. There is a distinct difference between the content that he used to produce in 2016 to the content produced now (as shown in the image above).
During the times of him being currently active on YouTube, Roi would rarely use Twitter and when the craze of the shitty NFTs came out, Roi had another idea to create his own and call it the Guava Juice NFT. We all know NFTs are garbage and with Roi promoting his own isn't going to score him points for minimal effort. There are also countless times of him being a terrible YouTuber. One of which was when he uploaded a video filling his pool with dry ice way back on April 29, 2018. Obviously, dry ice is very dangerous to handle and also to inhale at the same time. Needless to say, he almost got killed. Many YouTuber's like BillsYT, Danny Gonzalez, InternetAjay and many others went on to make videos on Roi and how his content changed.
The Last thing I want to talk about is his socialblade (socialblade is usually inaccurate when it comes to the numbers most of the time). While he still racks the video views ranging between 500K-1M views, his subscriber count remains very steady. Sometimes it would fluctuate with him losing 100k subs but gaining all of the subs back. Even though Roi has changed his content dramatically, he isn't seeing the big picture. It's a real shame because he was very comedic at the beginning when his channel took off and now it's just this slap in the face content that just appeals to children.
