00:00 See you on the other side.
00:02 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the largest YouTube channels that you can't watch anymore.
00:12 I expected all this to stay on YouTube.
00:14 And it didn't.
00:17 Number 10, JackSepticEye2.
00:20 Despite its name, this channel wasn't actually run by JackSepticEye. In fact, it didn't even have anything to do with him.
00:28 "We're gonna make...
00:30 a new channel."
00:32 "It's gonna be called...
00:36 JackSepticEye2."
00:38 Instead, the account was launched by fellow creator PewDiePie, as a cheeky way to get a second YouTube subscriber plaque.
00:46 Why did he need another one, you ask?
00:48 Well, apparently PewDiePie's original button got damaged in shipping.
00:51 And for him, the quickest way to get a new one was to make a whole other channel.
00:56 "And if you create a second channel and bitch enough to YouTube about it,
01:00 you will actually get it."
01:03 It worked like a charm, but afterwards, PewDiePie didn't have a need for JackSepticEye2 anymore.
01:10 So he deleted the whole thing and repurposed the stunt as a video on his main channel. Number nine, Kamerzysta.
01:17 After a stint as a YouTuber cameraman, WuKazworzyniak decided to step in front of the lens.
01:23 Thanks to his and his friend's willingness to push the envelope,
01:26 success came easy.
01:28 But so did controversy. As it turns out, most people don't like watching grown men swim through sewers or eat cat litter.
01:38 Especially when they're being coerced by someone who's only interested in viewership and clickbait. In 2021, YouTube terminated WuKazworzyniak's main channel,
01:47 Kamerzysta, for violating community guidelines. His second channel, Kamoose, fell soon after. Without his YouTube footprint,
01:55 WuKazworzyniak was left with nothing but a court date to try his blatant misuse of power. Number eight, Yahinsakdeko.
02:02 In 2023, the Indian government terminated at least eight accounts across YouTube for peddling fake news on their national election.
02:11 Among the fallen was, you guessed it, Yahinsakdeko. The Press Information Bureau took issue with the channel's extremely liberal poll results
02:19 and frequent lies about electronic voting.
02:22 It's not like this channel was shouting into an empty void either. On the contrary, by the time it was deleted,
02:28 Yahinsakdeko had reportedly amassed over 100 million views. Given all that,
02:33 it's no wonder the government had to step in and make it go kaput.
02:36 Well, at least Yahinsakdeko has a lot of company in the YouTube graveyard. Number seven, Joanna Cedia. With wit,
02:44 style, and more humor than she knew what to do with, Joanna Cedia was considered one of the breakout creators of the late
02:50 2010s. I'm gonna make my breakfast soon so that I can take it with me and eat it there.
02:56 And then we'll see where the day takes us. And she had the numbers to prove it. Then, suddenly, Cedia just vanished.
03:03 The grocery store is where I really find my stride. I make quite a couple good decisions and some bad ones.
03:09 Without any warning, she deleted both her Instagram and YouTube channel, leaving over 3 million subscribers asking why.
03:17 To this day, there's been no official explanation behind Cedia's abrupt retirement.
03:21 But some speculate that it has something to do with the challenge of balancing college,
03:26 mental health, and an online presence at the same time.
03:29 Then to physics where we learned about waves and how everything is essentially one big wave. Better learn how to surf, my dudes.
03:34 Either way, the fact is that Cedia's gone and it doesn't look like she'll return anytime soon. Number six, it's Owen. Hi.
03:42 I'm Technoblade's dad.
03:45 He wrote a message and he asked me to read it to all of you.
03:48 It takes a long time to build up three and a half million subscribers.
03:52 But as it's Owen will attest, all it takes is one bad move to lose them all. After the death of prolific YouTuber Technoblade,
03:59 It's Owen posted a short clip featuring MrBeast, another popular creator, saying goodbye.
04:04 Except it wasn't real. In actuality, It's Owen had embellished MrBeast's last words in order to capitalize on Technoblade's death.
04:13 This is MrBeast's final goodbye to Technoblade and their last time playing Minecraft together.
04:18 It got people to watch, but not for reasons It's Owen would have liked. People were rightfully up in arms about his disrespectful use of clickbait.
04:26 Eventually, YouTube caught wind of the backlash and deleted his channel for multiple terms of service violations.
04:32 Number five, RGFactboy. Not even YouTube shorts are immune to the good old Bayonhammer.
04:38 That's something not even RGFactboy could change. As his name implies,
04:42 he focuses short form content on providing fun tidbits or tips. It sounds innocent enough,
04:48 but as YouTube soon realized, RGFactboy's channel was a copyright nightmare. Despite some flashy editing,
04:54 many of his videos were thought to be stolen or copied with fresh voiceover placed on top. Combine that with
05:00 accusations of inflated viewership and unlawful spam, and it's no surprise. YouTube had to step in.
05:06 So with a quick termination, they said goodbye to RGFactboy and his millions of fans.
05:12 Number four, Unus Annus. From its very conception, this channel was always a one-time deal.
05:19 YouTubers Markiplier and CrankGameplays made the account with every intention of deleting it all in 12 months.
05:32 After all, the name Unus Annus roughly translates to one year in Latin.
05:37 One year. What is it in Latin?
05:39 I don't know Latin. You silly man.
05:42 Whether it was their creative ambition or the marketing ploy, the channel exploded in popularity to the tune of four and a half million subscribers.
05:50 I'm 10 feet away. You have safety glasses and we're outside. Mark. Today's the day.
05:55 But true to their word, Markiplier and CrankGameplay pulled the plug on Unus Annus after a year. Thank you.
06:02 Thank you and goodbye.
06:04 From us to you. Don't take any second for granted.
06:08 It was sad to see it go, but considering the goodbye live stream commanded over a million concurrent viewers,
06:14 it's safe to say Unus Annus went out on top.
06:17 Number three, LeafyIsHere. There's a fine line between constructive criticism and flat-out harassment.
06:24 It took a few years, but LeafyIsHere eventually wound up on the wrong side of that fence.
06:29 80% of Pokimane's streams is just her watching videos adding actually nothing to what she's watching whatsoever.
06:35 There's times where she's just straight up eating while watching YouTube while people donate to her.
06:40 His commentary had always been aggressive,
06:42 but it went to a whole new level when he started going after the well-known Twitch streamer, Pokemon.
06:47 Leafy posted several videos openly berating her on everything from her lifestyle to her ideological beliefs.
06:54 She talks about the viewers and her concern for them, aka you right there.
06:58 Hello. She talks about how you guys can't take a joke, but her and Keemstar, they can.
07:03 Even though she was going to her legal team.
07:06 But as the views and insults racked up, so did the YouTube terms of service strikes. Then in August of 2020,
07:13 Leafy's channel was officially banned on the grounds of repeated online harassment.
07:18 The word hypocrite is definitely not good enough. Whatever the word is that makes her get cancelled,
07:23 that's the one I want to go with.
07:24 Number two, Clown Xiao.
07:26 If you're looking for free currency in Roblox, you're better off looking elsewhere. Despite what Clown Xiao's brightly colored thumbnails promised,
07:33 they never actually gave away any free Robux. The links they posted beneath their videos were just scams to lure
07:39 unsuspecting audiences to the channel, and sadly, it worked. Even though Clown Xiao was repeatedly called out for their deceptive practices,
07:47 their channel still earned upwards of 6 million followers.
07:50 But it didn't make it very far beyond that.
07:52 Islandz purposely targets minors with large influences on YouTube to promote his free Robux scam websites linked on random throwaway
08:00 YouTube channels that he bought.
08:02 Clown Xiao is one of these.
08:03 Clown Xiao had just passed a year online when YouTube shut the channel down for good.
08:08 Unfortunately, that's the best all of the disappointed Roblox fans could have hoped for.

08:26 Number one, I'm JayStation.
08:31 When it comes to the worst thing a YouTuber has ever done for clout,
08:34 faking your girlfriend's death has got to be pretty high on the list. But I'm JayStation didn't just stop there.
08:40 "I took this picture of Alexia in my house."
08:45 Using a Ouija board, he went to an actual cemetery to supposedly make contact with her. The word tasteless
08:52 doesn't even begin to cover it. When it came out that he fabricated the whole thing, you could say people were mad.
08:58 So mad that YouTube had no choice but to demonetize his channel. "I'm sorry
09:03 to Alexia's family
09:05 for putting them through any like
09:07 hard times,
09:09 stress." In a little over a year, that turned into a full-on ban.
09:13 Even if Jay eventually does get his channel back, no amount of tearful apologies can repair his reputation.
