We all see are favorite Youtubers rise to popularity on the internet. Some become so big that some start to spend insane amounts of money on cars and houses. Some don’t like to spend and just continue to do without changing much besides the quality of the videos they upload. But what happens when you’re at the top of your game and you feel like nothing can stop but then one video or just not keeping up with the latest trends puts in a downfall and all of sudden you act or even do the things you could be before. Well today I’ll be telling about 5 Youtubers that lost their fame.
Number 5: CaptainSparklez
While CaptainSparklez also known as Jordan Maron hasn’t lost his fame completely he doesn’t make the same numbers that he used to. While he still has subscribers none of those subscribers actually come back to watch him. Jordan Maron started to become popular around 2011 which was the same time Minecraft came had officially came out. Jordan Maron started out by making lets plays of Minecraft then slowly making music out of the game. One of his most viewed videos is a music video of a Minecraft scene which is the character Steve trying to collect a pieces of diamond until he is attacked by a creeper. Jordan Maron was then on a roll making Minecraft videos of mods, maps and just playing the game. When Minecraft started to slow down Jordan Maron tried to keep up with latest trends but fell short and couldn’t keep up. Now he still uploads videos of Minecraft and tries to upload funny reactions but he doesn’t get the same fame like he used to.

Number 4: Fred
Fred also know has Lucas Cruikshank started making YouTube videos in late 2005. His videos were talking about random stuff with a very funny voice. Lucas Cruikshank would make videos about his stage-character named Fred Figglehorn. Fred Figglehorn is a fictional six-year old who has a crazy lifestyle and anger issues. When 2014 hit Lucas Cruikshank got tired and sold his YouTube Channel to kids for money. You can still find the channel on YouTube but it doesn’t upload videos anymore and is more of a relic on YouTube then anything. We don’t know what Lucas Cruikshank does now but all we know is that the Fred that we know and love is forever with us.

Number 3: Equals Three/ Ray William Johnson
Ray William Johnson started a show on YouTube called the Equal Three. The show was created around 2009 and was hosted by Ray William Johnson. The show was Ray William Johnson reacting to viral Videos on the internet. He would give his context to the video. Playbacks of the video. Give his reaction and then mock the video. Around the end of each video he would make somewhat of a funnier version by repeated playbacks. He would always finish with a comment of the day. The channel started to fail when Ray William Johnson stepped down from being the host around mid-march 2014. All the other host couldn’t match what Ray William Johnson did and so the channel started to fall. The channel now is just not what it used to be. While Ray William Johnson still tries to upload videos to his channel it isn’t easy and doesn’t get the same amount of views he used to.
