Well, hello there. I hope you had a good Christmas/Holiday break, and we are back at it once again to bring you the Worst YouTuber's of 2023. As 2023 is coming to a close, I thought it would be fun to go back and talk about some of the worst YouTuber's I talked about this year when compared to last year. Last year was pretty rough even after coming back to this blog and being locked out. If you want more information on what happened, you can do so by clicking here. This year's post is going to be different. I'm not going to link the sources because most of these are too long, so just click on the post links to see the full sources. With that being said, Let's begin.
#1 - Free Fur All 2023: Full Post & Update
Ah yes, who couldn't forget about this dumpsterfire known as Free Fur All? I know I haven't because it's still one of the worst conventions of all time. I've explained this in last year's post and it was actually under an Honorable Mention. For those that don't know, Free Fur All is ran by Nazi's and members of the Alt-Right. When Discord messages were leaked to the public, it was received negatively and the furries wanted the con to be dead.

| Leading up to the Con, PeaceWolf files Divorce on FoxGlove. |

| Resorting to AI Art for their promotions when previous artist left them. |
The convention started again for 2023 from July 28-30. I'm not going to go into detail of every single thing that happened but just like last year, the con itself was barebones, there was a ballpit from last years, resorted to AI art for their promotions because the previous artist left them and PeaceWolf hid the attendance numbers because they knew the con was going to fail. Even some of the shit leading up to the con, FoxGloveActual was fired and both him and PeaceWolf filed divorce. To make matters worse, PeaceWolf thought it was a good idea to write a sob story about the relationship not even speaking the truth and she was on blast because most of the shit she was saying didn't match up. To this date, nothing really new has come from the con at the time I'm writing this so we can safely say that the con is finally dead.
#2 - Featureman: Full Post & Update
Next up on our list in the number 2 spot is Featureman (also known as Tom Willett). Nobody would think much of this guy other than making tutorials on things related to dinners and food for that matter. From what I heard from others, everyone used to like this guy soley because of him doing cooking but also music from way back in the day when the Golden Age of YouTube took off. I mean there's not much to say about him.
Where it all fell off the wagon was a court case that took place way back in the 70s and there's actually old photocopy newspaper articles explaining what Tom was charge with ranging from sex acts to NRS. The case can be found online just by doing a google search. Where his demise from his YouTube channel started is with a video, he posted but deleted it shortly after about his stories being in prison, explaining himself about being a predator. This prompted Tom to delete a vast majority of his videos to hide on what he said. Obviously, we know for a fact that this guy is bad.
#3 - Art Van Grow: Full Post
I swear to God, I hate most people who do mostly vlog type videos about the Van Life shit. Not only that it's bad in general but also not good for the environment especially when it comes to the cars emitting smog. I'm getting sidetrack. Art Van Grow (also known as Amanda Marie Keshner) does exactly that but with mostly RV's and such and travels cross country all over the US. Nothing really new there as many others do the exact same thing.
However, unlike the rest of them where they don't get a lot of drama, Amanda did exactly just that but at Home Depot. Right after the viral video came out (in August of 2022) of her being racist against the employees, she was immediately cancelled and her channel was majorly filled with negative reception as well as negative comments throughout social media. Not only that she being a racist bigot but because she get this, wanted the 'Influencer Discount'. A primary example of the Home Depot Karen.
The 'Influencer Discount' didn't work for her at all because it doesn't exist. Even if it did exist, they wouldn't hand it out to people whose followers are at a low number. She tried making a post on her Facebook page basically responding to the haters and this eventually backfired as well. As a matter of fact, the management who runs the Home Depot Twitter page responded to a tweet about the guy who was racially harassed saying that they were never fired. She made a bullshit apology video two months later in October of 2022 and thus began the subscriber decline as well.
#4 - Trevor Jacob: Full Post
We know for a fact that if you ever would've thought that people would do some of the stupidest stunts of all time, then those people should be sent to hell even for the most prized possessions or anything they can to get famous. That's basically what Trevor Jacobs did. Ruin an entire career (which he didn't have much to begin with) with the matter of just one video.
Trevor being such a dumbass decided to pull a stunt that involves jumping out of his Taylorcraft (which looks similar to the Piper J-3 Cub), an airplane that can fit a max of two people. He was the only one on the plane when he jumped out. Not long after the situation, the video was met with negative reception (of course) and he also got his pilot license revoked. Now there is a bit of an update on Trevor in this case. On December 4, 2023, a court hearing was issued and that he was only sentenced to 6 months in prison for OFP (Obstructing Federal Probe). I mean the whole thing should've been longer because of that. Literally crashing any aircraft costs almost if not over $3.6 million in damages.
#5 - Fidias: Full Post
When you go to specific parts of the world, there are rules that you have to follow otherwise you'll get hate and you'll be banned and kicked out of the country for a very long time. Some harsher punishments include jailtime or be beaten. Fidias is the primary example of everything wrong when going to a country that he knows he'll break the rules.
Take this for an example. Fidias decided to take a trip to Japan. Most people would suspect them doing vlog related stuff there, but it is the complete and total opposite. He uploads a video (since deleted but reuploaded from someone else) where he would bypass the check-in lane where you would pay the toll for tickets and hitch a ride wherever you wanted to go on the bullet train. Fidias found an exploit where you can hitch a ride for free sneaking pass everyone from one place to another.
Right after the video was posted, Fidias got a severe wave of hate not just from the people of Japan but also from all over the world. The hate was so bad that the whole country of Japan investigated into the situation to try and find him and arrest him. Unfortunately, by the time that Japan was out to get his ass, Fidias fled the country to avoid any arrests. Near the ending of October, he released one of the worst apologies on one of his latest videos and basically downplaying the whole thing and not learning from his mistakes.
Honorable Mentions:
Honorable Mentions is of course things that didn't make it to the list but were relatively close. These will only be in list form.
HM #1 - Kwebbelkop: Full Post & Update
Kwebbelkop was considered to be one of the top gamers of all time wayback when he first started. Over the years, he started to degrade himself from being so downright annoying to all the fame and money he was getting. Definitely became the rotten person when he resorted to doing AI thus getting himself in a lot of backlash from his fans and the community. He also made some pity responses saying this is the next best thing thus fueling more of the hate and clearly hasn't learn anything from past experiences.
HM #2 - The Completionist: Full Post
The Completionist (also known as Jirard Kahlil) was basically a channel all about him playing and completing games for fun. For a long time, he ran a charity called the Open Hands Foundation which is considered to be non-profit. Whenever he would make streams, he would always announce that the money would be spent on the charities to his liking. This didn't sit right as people manage to do some investigation on Jirard's claims. All of the money that was donated to the Open Hands Foundation was never sent out to the charities, therefor Jirard kept the money for it to nitpick on specific charities to his liking. Karl Jobst made a video explaining the whole situation and either Jirard or someone from Open Hands sent a privacy complaint to Karl. To our surprise, YouTube rejected the complaint.
HM #3 - DKOldies: Full Post & Update 1, Update 2 and Update 3
DKOldies is finally being put on the list and I decided to put them under the Honorable Mentions category because the information related to them is so goddamn long. To make a history this brief, DKOldies were called out at the start of 2023 selling overpriced consoles (you can find cheaper ones that come with more stuff on Ebay) that are disgustingly dirty even though they claim to clean them out. Jacob R was considered to be the first person to ever do a series on and it was in mid-December of 2022. Since then, they have not made changes to their cleaning policy, they've been doing transparency work behind the scenes and to top it all off, trying to fire back at the content creators for using their logo and their image when everyone knows that it falls under fair use.
HM #4 - Votesaxon07: Full Post
Up next in our Honorable Mention list is Votesaxon07 (a.k.a Steven McCullagh). I wanted to put him down on the list because he's notorious for the murder of a person named Natalie McNally. Steven tried to disguise it in one particular stream he made titled 'The Violent Night Christmas Live Gaming Stream.' People immediately started to point it out that the stream was pre-recorded and was posted the same day as Steven was murdering Natalie. Within a matter of days, Steven was caught and was arrested and charged with murder when Natalie was pregnant. Unfortunately, at the time I'm making this, the court is set to be in January and was transferred to the crown court.
HM #5 - SSSniperWolf: Full Post & Update
SSSniperWolf (also known as Lia) is finally getting a lot of karma after all these years because personally I think that she deserves it 100%. Lia is the same person that decided to dox Jack from Jacksfilms by posting a video to her 5.6 million followers for every single one to see. Not only this was met with intense backlash, but she also downplayed the situation saying that it wasn't as bad as to what she claims it to be. On top of all this, she's been also called out for being a predator with videos that go all the way back into 2013 and had since been deleting those videos in light of the drama.
Bonus HM #6 - IIlluminaughtii: Full Post & Update 1, 2 and 3
Honestly, who couldn't forget about YouTube's favorite Pyramid? I know I haven't because I knew from the start that she was injecting herself in bad faith and it aged poorly. Iilluminaughtii (also known as Blair Zon) killed her career with after some of the members of Sad Milk like TheClick and OneTopic (including other members like Wonderstruck and OzMedia) exposed Blair and the abuse working with her as well as having beef with LegalEagle over editing styles. This prompted Blair to make a video response addressing the allegations but it was a complete failure. Right after this, her subscribers manage to plummet, lost most of her sponsors due to a high number of reports and basically still harassing and threatening Oz behind the scenes.
