The tragedy of every YouTube channel

They either fade into obscurity or blow up in a disasterous blaze of drama and controversy.

How hard is it to just not be an asshole?
- At least they didn't go the pedo route
  
  You never know where this is going to end up.
  
  Maybe the next headline will be "State of Georgia indicts Linus Sebastian for his role in Trump election fraud."
  
  Or maybe Obi Wan will show up to see if we know where he is and inform us that Linus killed the younglings.
  
  Or maybe it will turn out that Linus never existed in the first place and LMG has just been a series of deepfakes created by Steve from GN but he's tired of it and this is how he's winding it down.
- Have you met people? It just takes one toxic person to plummet the morale and forever change the social environment. It takes a willingness from all members to foster a healthy community. It's fragile and takes effort.
  
  You joined 2 months ago, this is your first comment, and you say you're a bot account?
- And in the explosion, new YouTuber starlets are born as they comment on the drama and call out the megastar’s wrongdoing. It’s the ciiiircle of YouTube.
- The damn truth.
  
  We can still wait and see if they get better or worse.
- How hard is it to just not be an asshole?
  
  For humans? Impossible.
Linus always looked and sounded like the Ellen DeGeneres of nerd media. I think he’s proving that he actually just is Ellen DeGeneres.
From what I can tell, their YouTube subscriber count hasn't changed much.
What's this song name btw?

Sorry, I'm out of the loop here, what's happening with LMG?
- accusations of theft, lapses in ethics, and most recently, allegations of sexual harassment.
