Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Sinfest. Used to be a charming and funny daily webcomic about an eclectic cast of colorful characters getting into surreal and philosophical situations. Then one day in 2011 it suddenly swerved hard into radical feminism. I'm not anti-feminist myself, but the comic became obsessed with it -- literally every strip was related to The Patriarchy in some way and it became extremely preachy and boring.

I checked out for the better part of a decade, and when I randomly revisited a couple years ago it turned out that the author had transited the TERF-to-fascist pipeline and turned into an extreme-right antivax conspiratorial fascist loon, of the "teachers are secret pedos" and "the war in Ukraine is a hoax" variety. Super sad to see.

Oh no. I used to look forward to sinfest every day.

Sinfest

Now there's a name I haven't heard in 20 years. Not sure it qualifies for "downhill very quickly"

That sucks! I also dropped off when it was The Patriarchy all the time. So sad to see where it ended up.

On a similar note, Questionable Content needs to just stop already if it hasn't. That turd's been circling for years and years, proving everyone wrong every time they insist it couldn't possibly get any worse.
