I find it hilarious etho has only made a playlist for the current hermitcraft season. And he doesn't even make thumbnails for his videos. It's so silly considering he puts the most time into the servers he is in.
@@kreuner11 I think their referring to the youtubers that make up the hermits. Like Grian, mumbo, etho, tango, etc. All of the hermits are nice people from what I can tell, and it wouldn't be a wild thought to see a younger person viewing them as a role model.
One thing that made me respect ExplodingTNT is that he left youtube because he doesn't know what to do with his channel. He doesn't want to just upload a few videos then leave again. He's a wonderful person and I'm glad I've been an actor of his for 9 years now.
This… is news for me, I watched him when I was a kid, didn’t know that he left… but hey, I’m just happy he didn’t turn into one of those Minecraft content farms.
This is why Hermitcraft will always be timeless. Because they strike a balance between both mature and Younger audience. And they are genuinely some of the most inspiring people on the platform. Just Look at Scar, he suffers from such illness, yet he is a ball of sunshine. Grian being a chaotic gremlin yet very considerate. Tango being such a genius that he makes game inside another game. They are proof that going PG is safe as long as you are entertaining.
Gem being such a positive force helped get me through a lot of tough times. No matter how bad things git, everything felt fine when watching her videos.
I am actually super happy that PopularMMOs actually moved to being a podcast channel. He let go of the thing that gave him fame for something that he loves or wants to talk about now that he is unshackled of having to be kid friendly. I actually love the podcast he puts up and it's a good listen too when doing something else about fame and the stupid things you do for it.
I didn't know this, I'm still watching the video as I comment so maybe he'll mention it. Regardless I'm glad that he's done that, these past few years have been painful to watch and I'm glad he finally found his calling.
TH-cam banning trolling but allowing "pranks" of actual irl harassment is crazy. Now we just have TH-cam kids on normal TH-cam cause parents can't monitor their kids.
Ikr irl pranks has far more major consequences than a block game. The worst thing about trolling in Minecraft is lost progress and frustration. Irl people get hurt.
Were the two policies active at the same time? Tech companies like pivoting to new competitive ideas, and I could see the executives deciding that profiting off of harassment was better for the bottom line than trying to stop it.
even worse we got "troll user" and "troll youtuber" that acting more of unhinged than what YT banned these old troll channel and is rather tame compared to nowadays that is all about mocking the people that is no longer with the living, clearly mantality ill and very desperate for attention.
A Part 2 would be nice. It's also comforting to know that folks like CaptainSparklez still enjoy doing Minecraft Videos so many years later. That's some serious dedication to your craft.
I vaguely remember Sky at his peak. Looking back, it's kind of tragic. It was already known that he had a terrible childhood, but it seemed like he had managed to break out of the cycle. In the end, that success was fleeting. I've seen this in my profession many times - the trauma perpetuates itself across generations if the cycle of abuse isn't broken.
Yeah, it’s hard to break, and it’s unfortunate but it can be done. As someone who suffers from tramua and the same pain, I’m working hard to not repeat my families cycles, it isn’t easy.He has really fallen off HARD. And as an old fan who made books based on Teamcrafted, I discontinued all of them and can never get over what he did to the friends, girls and fans he had. I wanted to start a channel due to him, but now I only try to forget, remember the good times and at least move on with my new inspirations in animation.
It's really sad seeing so many channels go down. I watched some of them and comparing their past to current times just shows really how things can go wrong.
It's pretty sad what happened to PopularMMOs. Back in 2017, I used to watch a lot of his mod showcase videos, and I never knew about any of this stuff until now, and it just sucks that a content creator I really liked had all these things happen to him.
@@catmus1506 All the Eleni stuff wasn't his fault, but the stuff with his other girlfriend which to me sounded like both sides inflicted both blows. And the arresting for the streaking stuff in a football field it's not really a big deal but it is his fault. And I do agree still that his way of showing this online is this the reason he is having a hard time.
I recently checked up on popularmmos, and one thing you didn't mention is that he has been doing podcasts on a different channel that has been relatively more consistent than on his main.
It is sad to see so many people leaving. But yeah. I'd love to see a part two to this. I honestly forgot Sky and MMOs were still around. Unrelated, but on the topic of old TH-camr's, Stampy's Lovely World ended last month on October 21st =(
Yeah, but at least Stampy seems to be living a good life still. He also is doing a podcast now and he's getting into writing more (I think he's studying at University again, but I might be wrong). Either way, he's been doing well for himself, and thankfully hasn't changed for the worst.
I watched a BajanCanadian youtuber survival games video recently and he had like 22 other youtubers listed down in the description of the video - going through every one of them, I believe only 5 or 6 of them even upload anymore. It's sad to see.
Its always sad to see how these old youtube giants have fallen. Ive only actually seen 1 of these old minecraft youtubers succesfully comeback which is antvenom, while they dont get the same views as before and dont upload super often they've found what works for them which is nice to see. I also know of 2 other old minecrafters that never really stopped and are still going being captainsparklez and ssundee. Sparklez doesnt get nearly the same views as they used too though and while ssundee regularly gets over 1mil views his content has very clearly shifted to be very targeted towards kids
Modern Minecraft videos are so… different now. (“BACK IN MY DAY” tangent incoming) Pretty much all of the new Minecraft generation tries to capture short attention spans with over-edited footage, louder music, and snappier exchanges that can often come off as scripted to me. (Not to mention the abrupt endings of videos that seems to have gotten popular. For me it’s a personal pet peeve, but it frustrates me to no end whenever I hear: “Now that’s the end of the video, subscri-“ it rubs off in the wrong way and feels like the TH-camr is trying to cash in for extra watchtime by not letting the viewer click off at their own leisure.) I really miss the styles with less/fewer flashy edits where you’d see additions there to compliment highlights, aid with comedic timing, or make more mundane sections feel more lively. Then again, it might just be nostalgia bias speaking, so if you like the newer styles, more power to you! All of this stuff is subjective anyways, but I kinda felt like giving my two cents’ worth on how things have changed between pre and post-2020 Minecraft TH-cam. TL;DR: I like the old style of videos in my opinion.
@@vortexsux From the way they’re structured now, it’s incredibly easy to grab a random clip from one of their videos, repackage it, and ship it off to YT shorts. It’s a smart tactic, no doubt, but it’s kinda cheap.
Ngl seeing what happened to PopularMMOs genuinely makes me sad. He was a great part of my childhood and part of the reasons I got into Minecraft as whole. I really hope he finds a way to continue on with his content and finds happiness somehow.
Seeing Sky's "return" was... painful. By that time I already knew what happened, but still I hoped to get some info from him. What we got tho was... very uncomfortable with no real info at all.
What do you mean. He's a woman 4bus3r, a r4p31st, and a horrible person. He literally coerced masons mother into getting pregnant, then severely neglected her, starved her, and physically hurt her. That's ILLEGAL! Frankly, he's getting the bare minimum of what he deserves, going off the deep end.
@@PrimarinaQueenI think what they mean is that they got no real information from Adam/Sky. As in, they wanted Adam to give his side, but only got "uncomfortable stuff" and no real info. Though whether they believe him or not is indeed not really evident, though the wording does seem to lean against Adams favor, and not in Adams favor.
@@lensers791I mean. StoryFire went to HIM to hire him as their COO. Plus Him plus a big team of people including me are starting up a fully fledged Minecraft server
SkydoesMinecraft aka Adam is honestly most shocking one tbh, I was there when it all went down on Twitter, where his ex, Elizabeth, came out and shared her evidence of abuse and everything, but not only that, people he used to film with GizzyGazza, AntVenom, Deadlox, JeromeASF, YourPalRoss (House_Owner), Mithzan, TimDotTV and so much more shared their stories against him. Even Alesa finally shared her story and how she was made the villain, even though he abused, starved her and sang a love song for another female employee in front of her. Setosorcerer, who was very much of an introvert, was screwed over by him, because Adam controlled Team Crafted and saw that Sato wouldn't be a fit for it anymore when they went the real life route, causing him to be cut from the group and then cut completely, especially with contact of the other members, basically losing his friend. Even SkyMedia, which at the time, seemed like the coolest place ever, was a nightmare behind the scenes. Jinbop, who was outed and arrested as a pedophile, Adam knew he was talking to younger fans and he played it off, then pretended to be shocked when it was revealed, Tim, who was a sweet guy, was the office punching bag and everyone was told to bully and harass him. SubZeroExtabyte, who was 15 years old when he worked for Adam, did a lot of work for him, was extremely loyal and his family was willing to relocate so he could continue working for Adam, was given a termination letter in a email, Adam didn't confront him at all or said anything, he sent a email saying he was fired. Also I'm pretty sure Adam was violating child labor laws, when Sub said he was working 20 hours a day for him. What else, oh yeah, their was two schedules at the offices, one for when Adam showed up and when for when he didn't, but the employees were "lazy and ungrateful" Honestly, their is so much to unpackage, but damn, Adam was a monster.
Hey on a good note though everyone else seems to be doing really well now, Max and Ross are now in Texas, Tim's.....somewhere, and everyone else just seems to be having normal lives
Another interesting case is Mr360Games a.k.a. Double. He started getting popular for playing the Aether mod and the Super Hostile Legendary map around 2011-2012. He also frequently collaborated with other big Minecraft TH-camrs like Chimneyswift11, ijevin, and Bodil40. Eventually he pivoted away from Minecraft content to more general gaming content, which actually ended up getting more views than his old Minecraft stuff. But his uploads got more and more infrequent over the years until he stopped all together in 2018. He never got into trouble thankfully so I guess he just wanted to move on from TH-cam. He had been making TH-cam videos for almost 10 years at that point. His channel was a favorite of mine back in the day and I still watch some of his old Minecraft videos once in a blue moon.
@@WumboJumbo96 yeah was wondering if I should have mentioned that or not. I used to watch Double and Chimneyswift11 (and the Yogscast) a lot back then. unfortunately I hit puberty around the same time those 2 switched to younger audiences and I lost interest, by the time I remembered about them Double had stopped uploading and Chimneyswift11 had started doing non gaming videos.(though it seems he has gone back to gaming now) Shame that barely half of them are still active today. Also if you watched the same people as I did that long ago you'll probably recognize some of these. /watch?v=di1FvjOarAs&ab_channel=Pzwang4 /watch?v=JKLDvnfDmlM&ab_channel=Area11 /watch?v=7inlPoDzn3Q&ab_channel=FeelMyWalrus
One thing I remember about Sky during his Skymedia era, they did a FAQ with fan comments and one to this day sticks out with me. The question was “do you want your son to be like” and they simply said something directed to their son like “Don’t be like daddy” aged liked milk
Mister Epic and PhoenixSC are both so unique. They can both do such an incredibly large variety of things and none of it seems outside the norms of the channel. Please do do a collab
I highly recommend doing a deeper dive into the SkyDoesMinecraft. It is a huge ass downfall and sad to see this once popular dude be how he came to be. I also recommend a part 2 in where we check success stories instead of failures. Be a good contrast.
You see… if even half the stuff that’s as is about him was true he would still be in prison for the next 10 years, but yet he is still in a big position AND my project manager
If you have seen all the information involved from the constant arguments with Ross alongside wanting to rip him away from his best friend Max, the constant berating of his group in Sky Media with Tim having shown video evidence, the tons of abuse with Dawn & Alesa, the many screenshots and evidence from many fans being manipulated and disrupted just to get a chance to work with him.. Thing is too, none of the crap he pulled was unnecessarily illegal. Despite everything all the stuff he pulled from the abuse to disruption wasn't done in the form of bringing up to courts. Like the Sky Media incidents? Under a private company. Incidents that happen within a private company in terms of the US laws are vastly different compared to public companies. Only incident that ended up going to court was the custody over his son. Could go on a longer talk about this but if you really want more information, pull the blindfold and find a way to talk to the people who were involved with him. Deadlox, TimDotTV, Mithzan, YourPalRoss, Alesa, JeromeASF, Bodil40, AntVenom.. there's many different people that could tell you their stories or tell you what it was like to work with him.
@@GlaciousWorks I literally talk to him and the friends that stayed with him. Who are also considered my friends. Why blindly trust the lies on the internet. Me and him have been friends since he came back from his mental health journey.
Finished the video now. Yeah a part 2 would be very interesting! What I also found fascinating in the case of TrueMU and Sky is how many MC TH-camrs try to switch over to music… I mean one German one even made his own luxury clothing brand after quitting minecraft?? o0 Another MC TH-camr became a racing driver. And a third one became a musician
What's the craziest bit is it's the ones we still remember. Sometimes a TH-camr could just stop uploading disappear without you even realizing if you ended up having a lot of people you watch. You slowly forget about them until they are just completely forgotten, I know for a fact a have forgotten a lot of my childhood TH-camrs I used to watch. A real damn shame.
PopularMMOS was the very reason I became interested in Minecraft in the first place. While his videos weren't of the best quality, they were filled with so much passion.
I choose to remember the TH-camrs from the past not as they are now, but as what they once were. Am I upset that their content is years old and some series went unfinished? Yes, but watching them gives my brain that spark to help me remember my childhood :)
At minute 2:00 and MisterEpic hits me with the nostalgia music from the Christmas mashup pack! Sadly never had friends to play with in that world since I was the only one crazy enough to spend money on that. However, just wandering the world was wonderful. Sometimes not even buying the packs but just wandering over them when in their demo you can’t save, mode
Man I remember Minecraft Universe, his one of my favorite TH-camrs a long long time ago as a kid. I even got some of his videos in my old phone. It's sad how his in a rough situation now.
Something not mentioned with PopularMMO is that he's started a more adultish podcast second channel, so he might be swapping to doing that more. Either way, it's nice to see he's improving mentally
Man, so many childhood channels either faded away or got caught up in drama. Some like Etho, DanTDM and CaptainSparklez are still going. Stampy got to call things on his own terms. The drama ones are sad though.
The PopularMMOs section is kind of incorrect. He is now focusing on a second channel where he makes podcasts with his friends (named "PopularMMOs Podcast"). Unlike most of his previous videos it's intentionally not kid-friendly; he is focusing on his more mature fans and as far as I can tell he and his friends seem to be having a blast in the process.
I remember watching Tobybuscus and TobyGames in my childhood. His Minecraft series was how I got into Minecraft. He disappeared years ago and his three channels died, but recently he has returned on his main channel making of all things based content.
As no surprise to my username (if changed, it was "skytrooper" in some way) I was a huge fan of Skydoesminecraft. But after how brutally hard he fell, I want nothing with him
@@ZenoSsj4Hero Yes, it will take 14 days for the change to be complete when I fiddled with my username. Now they changed it to be shorter because of Channel Hijackers
I still think that pat even in his youtube videos has the same energy and its just really nice to see if he starts uploading again i see no way he cant rise back to his old self. Popularmmos was the childhood of so many minecraft kids and i see myself going back atleast once a month
I used to watch some of the TH-camrs you mentioned here. I remember TrueMU (I think it was him, or someone who had a similar skin) once deleted all of his Minecraft content (or privated it) and tried to become a Fortnite channel, because that was what was becoming popular at that time. Naturally, a lot of people were turned off by it, including me, who was not a fan of Fortnite. Even worse is the fact he got into Crypto and NFTs. But I don't think anyone fell harder than SkyDoesMinecraft, he's one of countless TH-camrs who pretty much ruined his career due to the kind of person he was.
As far as I know it was him. Was scouring the comment section trying to figure out weather I just misremembered it or what. I think he at the time also made a second channel to reupload some of his old Minecraft content, I may be remembering wrong, but it sure was strange regardless.
@@RedstoneBattery Well it didn't help that he was shifting his content to what was currently popular at the time, since Minecraft was declining in popularity, and most of his followers were there for Minecraft, NOT Fortnite. Even I was turned off by this because I'm not really that much of a fan of Fortnite, and I only came to TrueMU for the Minecraft stuff.
Xboxaddictions didn't deserve it. man's got picked out outta the thoughts of popular trolling channels no trolling TH-cam channels could compare to his authentic style. I'm happy TMOL revived himself tho I remember they both had some drama back then
I haven’t watched him since 2017 and randomly remembered he existed a few months back, so I decided to revisit his channel, just to find out he’d been banned years ago…
i still deeply remember the good old days where I would hide my iPad watching popular MMOs into the night and its sad how far he has fallen. going back is brings back so much childhood happyness
SkyDoesMinecraft's fall was sad but in the end well-deserved. I hated knowing the fact that I supported his comeback until he was finally cancelled in 2022. Thank god most of the people he associated with decided to distance themselves from him-Deadlox was right, there's a reason 99% of his friends left him.
Atleast even today some youtubers of the past like DanTDM, LDShadowLady, and others have never quitted but had just taken breaks but we have already lost so much..
I’m genuinely sad popularMMOs gone the way it did, it was a part of my life which I loved, I’d watch his videos daily, I tried to figure out what was going on in the future with his uploads but didn’t find anything so I didn’t think anything bad was happening, I loved popularMMOs, I even have a book that they made
These channels make me glad that Stampy ended his channel on a high note. (Also, I'm pretty sure Xboxaddictionz confirmed that 90% of his videos were fake and staged.)
You should’ve mentioned that MinecraftUniverse is also now doing VFX for various different rappers as he’s recently worked with people like 21 Savage, Rae Sremmurd, $NOT and more
Pat (popularmmos) had a long good run on the youtube, raised many kids i remember watching him in 6th grade every single day it was the highlight of my day. Even though his videos werent anything special a bit scuffed at times thats what was so charming about it him and jen just goofing around and being themselves was really interesting and entertaining but all good things do come to an end and they did break up and sadly pat got the short end of the stick and he got into some pretty bad situations but he recently started a podcast with his friends and some people say "he made our childhoods now he will make our adulthood" because he is fully open in those podcasts when you listen to them its like Pat is a completely different person completely different from what you usually remember him as and his friends say that he was always like that but when he was with Jen that he was calmer but i really doubt that pat was always like that, i think the breakup had a way bigger effect on pat because it really did seem like they truly loved each other but i can be wrong what matters is that pat is back and finally happy, he may not be the same pat we know him as but most of his fans grew up and can understand his new content better.
It makes me sad to see how much things have changed for worse for some of these guys I loved watching them as a kid who was going through a hard time in life I miss watching team crafted go on crazy adventures as a kid as an adult now I wish them all the best with there life’s and I hope they can get through these hard time they are going through
I remember when my best friend, who I’ve known since kindergarten, introduced me to the popular MMO‘s TH-cam channel. The interesting coincidence is, that was probably around the time of 2018, 2019, 2020. oh well.
Despite everything popular MMOs supposedly done I'm still rooting for him I've been watching Pat for a very long time and I know for a fact that he can get through this and hopefully bring his channel to its former Glory
I have watched PopularMMOs since I was 5-6 (currently 16), I have been watching him for over 10 years and miss his old content, hope his channel makes a comeback
It's sad that the Golden Age Minecraft TH-camrs are gone, but at least we still have our memories. Plus we have new Minecraft TH-camrs now, including me in the near future thanks to some inspiration from Pat. Minecraft will never die completely, even if some of these TH-camrs do.
There were so many nostalgic minecraft youtubers like SubZeroExtabyte, ExplodingTNT etc but they all left youtube. probably due to changing enviroment. they no longer have any ideas for new videos. i just wished i could see just 1 more video of them.
I think sky does Minecraft uploaded old style videos with bad mic cuz people were telling him they missed the old days so he tried doing exactly the same as 10 years ago
When i was child. I didn't even knew how to say hello in english, i watched sky does minecraft's videos, i learned english from him. It is sad that he became like that.
I don't know if you've done this already, I remember seeing videos talking about MC tubers that retired but have been doing well for themselves. I wouldn't mind a more positive side for part 2 if one hasn't done this channel already
PopularMMOs now has a podcast channel and its fire, more for older people, not kids, but still great for the people who just want him back. and its great.
To see the Challenge Games say 8 years ago when I remember waking up as a kid to watch PopularMMO videos that were uploaded a few hours ago feels really weird. Time really does fly now that I am an adult
Watching this hurts a lot. But if I keep myself in the dark about this, I would've experienced a deep rabbit hole of disappointment and sadness. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug. But once it wears off, the crash is painful.
What about Ssundee? That man changed for the worse EDIT: Yes I know he still gets over a million views. But I want to ask this. Is it still the Ssundee we all loved back in the day?
SSundee making content for a younger audience doesn't really mean he changed for the worse. He just learned to adapt. He makes videos based on what appeals to his audience, and it worked so well. I don't like his modern videos too, and I think they are "cringy" as what many people say. But you have to admit, that is a very smart move. He had a rough time back in early 2018 with his wife, but he learned to overcome that obstacle. I respect him for that. Perhaps you (the grown up audience) don't love him anymore, and so he probably lost a lot of subscribers. But compare his lost subs to his gained subs. Look at CaptainSparklez. He frequently uploads Minecraft videos and hasn't been to any drama as far as we know. And yet, SSundee is more successful than him. Moral of the story? Learn to be resourceful and adapt to changes.
God it feels weird seeing the end of popularmmos. As I had my username based off of him as grayskymmos for many video games that I still play to this day.
This really sucks, as I also watched a few of those Minecrafters making these interesting adventures and mods and end up like this. Atleast not everyone turned to bad side.
There are honestly plenty of stories to be told about the second generation of Minecraft TH-camrs. Although I do Personally prefer the tales that end whit the creator leaving on their own terms, as rare as that might be
Skydoesminecraft was the reason I play minecraft. The reason I wanted to do youtube. When Skymedia was a thing, I wanted to apply for a position there so badly. Sad to see him go so far downhill.
i dont know at least three of these TH-camrs but it is interesting to learn of their downfall and their attempt to revive their channels. in other words it seems like they had some major problems during their careers. my childhood favs were Dan and Stampy.
Mannn i remember sky. Shame how he went down a terrible path. I grew up with him like many others, when i heard wtf he was doing i wasn't hurt, but it was certainly shocking. I didn't expect him of all people would go down like that. Life is crazy, anything can happen. That being said, say you love your family, anyone in it. Because one day something bad could happen, and you might not get the chance to say it. Good luck everyone, god speed.
In my eyes I see the information as fake, mainly because if any of it was true he should’ve been prisoner for over 15-20 years. But he hasn’t even been in there for one day. He is now a COO and many including me still respect him. As of right now he is working with StoryFire and a group of developers including myself to bring a new server. Legally I can’t say what’s in the server but it is gonna be a big one.
The downfall of PopularMMOs was really sad for me. I really started playing around with mods in Minecraft because of him. I wanted to be just like him when I was younger. But now, he's a shadow of his former self. It's such a big shame because my Minecraft experience would probably not be the same without him.

I'm really happy that DanTDM and Hermitcraft members are really good role models irl, still remember having them as my childhood favourite youtubers
I find it hilarious etho has only made a playlist for the current hermitcraft season. And he doesn't even make thumbnails for his videos.
It's so silly considering he puts the most time into the servers he is in.
@@Gurtopolisneeds more time on servers
Hermitcraft is a server though, not a TH-cam or a role model?
@@GurtopolisI love it because it’s all Etho has done! It shows etho cares about the game making us love it more

One thing that made me respect ExplodingTNT is that he left youtube because he doesn't know what to do with his channel. He doesn't want to just upload a few videos then leave again. He's a wonderful person and I'm glad I've been an actor of his for 9 years now.
I remember being a Fan of ExplodingTNT! I loved his videos :DDD
ExplodingTNT my beloved. Miss him so much ❤️❤️
I played a lot on his servers
Nova before it was given to the admins and origins, even briefly tried to bring back nova but ran into some roadblocks
If you are allowed to, I would be very intrigued to know what being a minecraft actor entails.
This… is news for me, I watched him when I was a kid, didn’t know that he left… but hey, I’m just happy he didn’t turn into one of those Minecraft content farms.
This is why Hermitcraft will always be timeless.
Because they strike a balance between both mature and Younger audience.
And they are genuinely some of the most inspiring people on the platform.
Just Look at Scar, he suffers from such illness, yet he is a ball of sunshine.
Grian being a chaotic gremlin yet very considerate.
Tango being such a genius that he makes game inside another game.
They are proof that going PG is safe as long as you are entertaining.
Preach.
As an adult now I really appreciate intelligent yet fun PG media as it helps me rest from the constant exhausting negativity from the world.
And Etho being a timeless chad keeping up his entertaining and amazing ideas for content going for years
Gem being such a positive force helped get me through a lot of tough times. No matter how bad things git, everything felt fine when watching her videos.
I honestly started watching the occasional video again from random Hermitcrafters and yes you could honestly still enjoy these videos as an adult.
I am actually super happy that PopularMMOs actually moved to being a podcast channel. He let go of the thing that gave him fame for something that he loves or wants to talk about now that he is unshackled of having to be kid friendly. I actually love the podcast he puts up and it's a good listen too when doing something else about fame and the stupid things you do for it.
I didn't know this, I'm still watching the video as I comment so maybe he'll mention it. Regardless I'm glad that he's done that, these past few years have been painful to watch and I'm glad he finally found his calling.

@Spock1777 only edited videos, he still intends to stream the game and upload vods
@@Spock1777 only on his main channel, but his second one with the streams will still continue to upload until we the audience say no more
I vaguely remember Sky at his peak. Looking back, it's kind of tragic. It was already known that he had a terrible childhood, but it seemed like he had managed to break out of the cycle. In the end, that success was fleeting. I've seen this in my profession many times - the trauma perpetuates itself across generations if the cycle of abuse isn't broken.
Hence the term, “generational trauma”
Yeah, it’s hard to break, and it’s unfortunate but it can be done. As someone who suffers from tramua and the same pain, I’m working hard to not repeat my families cycles, it isn’t easy.He has really fallen off HARD.
And as an old fan who made books based on Teamcrafted, I discontinued all of them and can never get over what he did to the friends, girls and fans he had. I wanted to start a channel due to him, but now I only try to forget, remember the good times and at least move on with my new inspirations in animation.
It's really sad seeing so many channels go down. I watched some of them and comparing their past to current times just shows really how things can go wrong.
Yeah 😢
I'd love to see a part two. Curious to hear about some of the darker reasons some folks may have left.

echoing, as dishearting as some of these are its at least nice to get closeure given sometimes info gets buried so deep its like excivating a pyramid.
BasherMC had such a tragic story for leaving TH-cam
Agreed
It's pretty sad what happened to PopularMMOs. Back in 2017, I used to watch a lot of his mod showcase videos, and I never knew about any of this stuff until now, and it just sucks that a content creator I really liked had all these things happen to him.
All his own fault.
@@catmus1506how is that him fault
@@catmus1506 All the Eleni stuff wasn't his fault, but the stuff with his other girlfriend which to me sounded like both sides inflicted both blows. And the arresting for the streaking stuff in a football field it's not really a big deal but it is his fault. And I do agree still that his way of showing this online is this the reason he is having a hard time.
@@randompersontrying9700he wasnt the one streaking, all he did was have his phone out
@@Sceptonic True, but still it did get him in trouble so it just gave him more extra negative press.
I recently checked up on popularmmos, and one thing you didn't mention is that he has been doing podcasts on a different channel that has been relatively more consistent than on his main.
I was mainly focussing on his main channel content, as he expressed a desire to return to it, but still hasn't seemed to
What channel?
@@AltraHapi Popularmmos podcast is the channel name. If you can't find it it's in the description of Pat's latest video.
@@TheMisterEpicits still important to mention imo
@@psgamer-il2pt Why? This video is about the channels of Minecraft TH-camrs, not TH-camrs that used to play Minecraft.
It is sad to see so many people leaving. But yeah. I'd love to see a part two to this. I honestly forgot Sky and MMOs were still around.
Unrelated, but on the topic of old TH-camr's, Stampy's Lovely World ended last month on October 21st =(
What?
whope, not meaning to be grammar police but you misspelled but
id say =), hes not left youtube and its still very sad, but its clear the decision was well thought out and he deserved a break
Yeah, but at least Stampy seems to be living a good life still. He also is doing a podcast now and he's getting into writing more (I think he's studying at University again, but I might be wrong). Either way, he's been doing well for himself, and thankfully hasn't changed for the worst.
@@RoyaItee Thanks =)
The absolutely gargantuan amount of nostalgia with Sky and MU is hitting me like a sack of bricks from 10 floors up.
BUDDERRRRRRRR 😭😭😭
I watched a BajanCanadian youtuber survival games video recently and he had like 22 other youtubers listed down in the description of the video - going through every one of them, I believe only 5 or 6 of them even upload anymore. It's sad to see.
Preston still plays Minecraft, and he was like Ssundee: Who successfully adapted to the changing YT environment.
Its always sad to see how these old youtube giants have fallen. Ive only actually seen 1 of these old minecraft youtubers succesfully comeback which is antvenom, while they dont get the same views as before and dont upload super often they've found what works for them which is nice to see.
I also know of 2 other old minecrafters that never really stopped and are still going being captainsparklez and ssundee. Sparklez doesnt get nearly the same views as they used too though and while ssundee regularly gets over 1mil views his content has very clearly shifted to be very targeted towards kids
Also DanTDM which is still standing tho he dont do minecraft too much
Eckosoldier also only gets about 1,000-2,000 views per video, I remember they used to get A LOT more.
AntVenom is still putting out great content.
Trolling channels back then were peak.

Modern Minecraft videos are so… different now.
(“BACK IN MY DAY” tangent incoming)
Pretty much all of the new Minecraft generation tries to capture short attention spans with over-edited footage, louder music, and snappier exchanges that can often come off as scripted to me. (Not to mention the abrupt endings of videos that seems to have gotten popular. For me it’s a personal pet peeve, but it frustrates me to no end whenever I hear: “Now that’s the end of the video, subscri-“ it rubs off in the wrong way and feels like the TH-camr is trying to cash in for extra watchtime by not letting the viewer click off at their own leisure.) I really miss the styles with less/fewer flashy edits where you’d see additions there to compliment highlights, aid with comedic timing, or make more mundane sections feel more lively. Then again, it might just be nostalgia bias speaking, so if you like the newer styles, more power to you! All of this stuff is subjective anyways, but I kinda felt like giving my two cents’ worth on how things have changed between pre and post-2020 Minecraft TH-cam.
TL;DR: I like the old style of videos in my opinion.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast true, with short-form content at an all time high
@@vortexsux From the way they’re structured now, it’s incredibly easy to grab a random clip from one of their videos, repackage it, and ship it off to YT shorts. It’s a smart tactic, no doubt, but it’s kinda cheap.
Fr, I still remember that one rapper kid after all these years, lmao.
Ngl seeing what happened to PopularMMOs genuinely makes me sad. He was a great part of my childhood and part of the reasons I got into Minecraft as whole. I really hope he finds a way to continue on with his content and finds happiness somehow.
Apparently people are saying he does podcast now and actually enjoys it. Though, I don’t know anything about it other then that
@@Exodus12341 His new channel is called "PopularMMOs Podcast" and he currently has 103k subscribers. The content there is 18+ though.
@@Exodus12341 that makes me really happy tbh
He's back doing podcasts now
Seeing Sky's "return" was... painful. By that time I already knew what happened, but still I hoped to get some info from him. What we got tho was... very uncomfortable with no real info at all.
What do you mean. He's a woman 4bus3r, a r4p31st, and a horrible person. He literally coerced masons mother into getting pregnant, then severely neglected her, starved her, and physically hurt her. That's ILLEGAL!
Frankly, he's getting the bare minimum of what he deserves, going off the deep end.
I dunno man, a lot of people that work with him literally said a lot of bad things and experience with him, I don’t think that is not a real info…
@@PrimarinaQueenI think what they mean is that they got no real information from Adam/Sky.
As in, they wanted Adam to give his side, but only got "uncomfortable stuff" and no real info.
Though whether they believe him or not is indeed not really evident, though the wording does seem to lean against Adams favor, and not in Adams favor.
@@lensers791especially max and Ross, hell they have a whole video on thier experience working their called "Taboo"
@@lensers791I mean. StoryFire went to HIM to hire him as their COO. Plus Him plus a big team of people including me are starting up a fully fledged Minecraft server
I’m happy Ethoslab hasn’t stopped uploading he always let it be known he has a job but keeps going and still makes stuff to this day
SkydoesMinecraft aka Adam is honestly most shocking one tbh, I was there when it all went down on Twitter, where his ex, Elizabeth, came out and shared her evidence of abuse and everything, but not only that, people he used to film with GizzyGazza, AntVenom, Deadlox, JeromeASF, YourPalRoss (House_Owner), Mithzan, TimDotTV and so much more shared their stories against him. Even Alesa finally shared her story and how she was made the villain, even though he abused, starved her and sang a love song for another female employee in front of her. Setosorcerer, who was very much of an introvert, was screwed over by him, because Adam controlled Team Crafted and saw that Sato wouldn't be a fit for it anymore when they went the real life route, causing him to be cut from the group and then cut completely, especially with contact of the other members, basically losing his friend.
Even SkyMedia, which at the time, seemed like the coolest place ever, was a nightmare behind the scenes. Jinbop, who was outed and arrested as a pedophile, Adam knew he was talking to younger fans and he played it off, then pretended to be shocked when it was revealed, Tim, who was a sweet guy, was the office punching bag and everyone was told to bully and harass him. SubZeroExtabyte, who was 15 years old when he worked for Adam, did a lot of work for him, was extremely loyal and his family was willing to relocate so he could continue working for Adam, was given a termination letter in a email, Adam didn't confront him at all or said anything, he sent a email saying he was fired. Also I'm pretty sure Adam was violating child labor laws, when Sub said he was working 20 hours a day for him. What else, oh yeah, their was two schedules at the offices, one for when Adam showed up and when for when he didn't, but the employees were "lazy and ungrateful"
Honestly, their is so much to unpackage, but damn, Adam was a monster.
Hey on a good note though everyone else seems to be doing really well now, Max and Ross are now in Texas, Tim's.....somewhere, and everyone else just seems to be having normal lives

Another interesting case is Mr360Games a.k.a. Double. He started getting popular for playing the Aether mod and the Super Hostile Legendary map around 2011-2012. He also frequently collaborated with other big Minecraft TH-camrs like Chimneyswift11, ijevin, and Bodil40. Eventually he pivoted away from Minecraft content to more general gaming content, which actually ended up getting more views than his old Minecraft stuff. But his uploads got more and more infrequent over the years until he stopped all together in 2018. He never got into trouble thankfully so I guess he just wanted to move on from TH-cam. He had been making TH-cam videos for almost 10 years at that point. His channel was a favorite of mine back in the day and I still watch some of his old Minecraft videos once in a blue moon.
I remember he had been relatively active on twitch till only a few years ago. Don’t know what he’s doing now
those names bring me back, that was around the time I got Minecraft. others they played with were ClashJTM and ihasCupquake
@@thecondiffs Yup. I still remember when they called themselves The Outsiders.
@@WumboJumbo96 yeah was wondering if I should have mentioned that or not. I used to watch Double and Chimneyswift11 (and the Yogscast) a lot back then. unfortunately I hit puberty around the same time those 2 switched to younger audiences and I lost interest, by the time I remembered about them Double had stopped uploading and Chimneyswift11 had started doing non gaming videos.(though it seems he has gone back to gaming now) Shame that barely half of them are still active today.
Also if you watched the same people as I did that long ago you'll probably recognize some of these.

him and bodil40 were definitely my favorites, bodil still uploads but its fortnite content sadly. i really hope they do videos together again someday.
One thing I remember about Sky during his Skymedia era, they did a FAQ with fan comments and one to this day sticks out with me. The question was “do you want your son to be like” and they simply said something directed to their son like “Don’t be like daddy”
aged liked milk
…yikes. 😭
Mister Epic and PhoenixSC are both so unique. They can both do such an incredibly large variety of things and none of it seems outside the norms of the channel. Please do do a collab
They also share a similar trait: They’re both Australian.
@@reverbthevocal421👀
@@reverbthevocal421 That too!
@@reverbthevocal421 That's new, I didn't know that!
What did Mister Epic do to deserve being compared to garbage such as PhoenixSC?
I highly recommend doing a deeper dive into the SkyDoesMinecraft. It is a huge ass downfall and sad to see this once popular dude be how he came to be.
I also recommend a part 2 in where we check success stories instead of failures. Be a good contrast.
You see… if even half the stuff that’s as is about him was true he would still be in prison for the next 10 years, but yet he is still in a big position AND my project manager
If you have seen all the information involved from the constant arguments with Ross alongside wanting to rip him away from his best friend Max, the constant berating of his group in Sky Media with Tim having shown video evidence, the tons of abuse with Dawn & Alesa, the many screenshots and evidence from many fans being manipulated and disrupted just to get a chance to work with him..
Thing is too, none of the crap he pulled was unnecessarily illegal. Despite everything all the stuff he pulled from the abuse to disruption wasn't done in the form of bringing up to courts. Like the Sky Media incidents? Under a private company. Incidents that happen within a private company in terms of the US laws are vastly different compared to public companies. Only incident that ended up going to court was the custody over his son.
Could go on a longer talk about this but if you really want more information, pull the blindfold and find a way to talk to the people who were involved with him. Deadlox, TimDotTV, Mithzan, YourPalRoss, Alesa, JeromeASF, Bodil40, AntVenom.. there's many different people that could tell you their stories or tell you what it was like to work with him.
@@GlaciousWorks I literally talk to him and the friends that stayed with him. Who are also considered my friends. Why blindly trust the lies on the internet.
Me and him have been friends since he came back from his mental health journey.
Finished the video now.
Yeah a part 2 would be very interesting!
What I also found fascinating in the case of TrueMU and Sky is how many MC TH-camrs try to switch over to music…
I mean one German one even made his own luxury clothing brand after quitting minecraft?? o0
Another MC TH-camr became a racing driver. And a third one became a musician
There's nothing wrong with people pursuing other interests when they have the opportunity to do so.
@@THE_bchat neither did I criticise them for that.
It was merely an observation which was interesting to me.
It's sad. These TH-camrs made our childhood awesome, now seeing them like this. It's just very sad.
What's the craziest bit is it's the ones we still remember. Sometimes a TH-camr could just stop uploading disappear without you even realizing if you ended up having a lot of people you watch. You slowly forget about them until they are just completely forgotten, I know for a fact a have forgotten a lot of my childhood TH-camrs I used to watch. A real damn shame.
PopularMMOS was the very reason I became interested in Minecraft in the first place. While his videos weren't of the best quality, they were filled with so much passion.
He’s back but now he makes podcast videos on a separate channel.
I choose to remember the TH-camrs from the past not as they are now, but as what they once were. Am I upset that their content is years old and some series went unfinished? Yes, but watching them gives my brain that spark to help me remember my childhood :)
Yeah, it can be hard to do that sometimes depending on circumstances (and offenses) but sometimes you just have to fill the nostalgia void
I do see your point but at the same time, things have to move on. It's okay to reminesce the past, but don't let it blind you with tinted lenses.
i always get a little sad dan never finished crazy craft :/
fun fact: at 11:13 you can see post malone. he used to hang out with team crafted a fair bit as far as i know
i noticed that too 😭
Yeah it’s Jason’s friend
At minute 2:00 and MisterEpic hits me with the nostalgia music from the Christmas mashup pack!
Sadly never had friends to play with in that world since I was the only one crazy enough to spend money on that. However, just wandering the world was wonderful.
Sometimes not even buying the packs but just wandering over them when in their demo you can’t save, mode
ig it really is just stampy, dantdm, and the hermitcraft crew who've thugged it out
Don’t forget captain sparkles
Man I remember Minecraft Universe, his one of my favorite TH-camrs a long long time ago as a kid. I even got some of his videos in my old phone. It's sad how his in a rough situation now.
Something not mentioned with PopularMMO is that he's started a more adultish podcast second channel, so he might be swapping to doing that more. Either way, it's nice to see he's improving mentally
Man, so many childhood channels either faded away or got caught up in drama. Some like Etho, DanTDM and CaptainSparklez are still going. Stampy got to call things on his own terms. The drama ones are sad though.
The PopularMMOs section is kind of incorrect. He is now focusing on a second channel where he makes podcasts with his friends (named "PopularMMOs Podcast"). Unlike most of his previous videos it's intentionally not kid-friendly; he is focusing on his more mature fans and as far as I can tell he and his friends seem to be having a blast in the process.
TrueMU hanging out with Post Malone before he was Post Malone is nuts. The Pre Malone
I remember watching Tobybuscus and TobyGames in my childhood. His Minecraft series was how I got into Minecraft. He disappeared years ago and his three channels died, but recently he has returned on his main channel making of all things based content.
Jesus Christ look at Pat, looking at it without the context makes him look like a psycho. He just looks.....broken..
its not a failed channel by any means, but im heartbroken that stampy will no longer be playing on his lovely world. he was my childhood
As no surprise to my username (if changed, it was "skytrooper" in some way) I was a huge fan of Skydoesminecraft. But after how brutally hard he fell, I want nothing with him
I think you can change your username and handle, so you could still change it to a completely different name as a way to fully move pass the bastard
@@ZenoSsj4Hero Yes, it will take 14 days for the change to be complete when I fiddled with my username.
Now they changed it to be shorter because of Channel Hijackers
@@iceresistance I didn’t know that part. Good to know, thanks
I still think that pat even in his youtube videos has the same energy and its just really nice to see if he starts uploading again i see no way he cant rise back to his old self. Popularmmos was the childhood of so many minecraft kids and i see myself going back atleast once a month
I used to watch some of the TH-camrs you mentioned here. I remember TrueMU (I think it was him, or someone who had a similar skin) once deleted all of his Minecraft content (or privated it) and tried to become a Fortnite channel, because that was what was becoming popular at that time. Naturally, a lot of people were turned off by it, including me, who was not a fan of Fortnite. Even worse is the fact he got into Crypto and NFTs.
But I don't think anyone fell harder than SkyDoesMinecraft, he's one of countless TH-camrs who pretty much ruined his career due to the kind of person he was.
As far as I know it was him. Was scouring the comment section trying to figure out weather I just misremembered it or what. I think he at the time also made a second channel to reupload some of his old Minecraft content, I may be remembering wrong, but it sure was strange regardless.
@@RedstoneBattery Well it didn't help that he was shifting his content to what was currently popular at the time, since Minecraft was declining in popularity, and most of his followers were there for Minecraft, NOT Fortnite.
Even I was turned off by this because I'm not really that much of a fan of Fortnite, and I only came to TrueMU for the Minecraft stuff.
sad, team crafted content was hilarious.
"youtuber hits a big milestone"
TH-camr: "children am i right?"
Xboxaddictions didn't deserve it. man's got picked out outta the thoughts of popular trolling channels no trolling TH-cam channels could compare to his authentic style. I'm happy TMOL revived himself tho I remember they both had some drama back then
I haven’t watched him since 2017 and randomly remembered he existed a few months back, so I decided to revisit his channel, just to find out he’d been banned years ago…
1:56 as soon as I heard December 2019 i knew instantly it was the doing of COPPA
i still deeply remember the good old days where I would hide my iPad watching popular MMOs into the night and its sad how far he has fallen. going back is brings back so much childhood happyness
SkyDoesMinecraft's fall was sad but in the end well-deserved. I hated knowing the fact that I supported his comeback until he was finally cancelled in 2022. Thank god most of the people he associated with decided to distance themselves from him-Deadlox was right, there's a reason 99% of his friends left him.
Atleast even today some youtubers of the past like DanTDM, LDShadowLady, and others have never quitted but had just taken breaks but we have already lost so much..
I’m genuinely sad popularMMOs gone the way it did, it was a part of my life which I loved, I’d watch his videos daily, I tried to figure out what was going on in the future with his uploads but didn’t find anything so I didn’t think anything bad was happening, I loved popularMMOs, I even have a book that they made
He’s back but now he makes podcast videos on a separate channel.
Same...
These channels make me glad that Stampy ended his channel on a high note.
(Also, I'm pretty sure Xboxaddictionz confirmed that 90% of his videos were fake and staged.)
You should’ve mentioned that MinecraftUniverse is also now doing VFX for various different rappers as he’s recently worked with people like 21 Savage, Rae Sremmurd, $NOT and more
Pat (popularmmos) had a long good run on the youtube, raised many kids i remember watching him in 6th grade every single day it was the highlight of my day. Even though his videos werent anything special a bit scuffed at times thats what was so charming about it him and jen just goofing around and being themselves was really interesting and entertaining but all good things do come to an end and they did break up and sadly pat got the short end of the stick and he got into some pretty bad situations but he recently started a podcast with his friends and some people say "he made our childhoods now he will make our adulthood" because he is fully open in those podcasts when you listen to them its like Pat is a completely different person completely different from what you usually remember him as and his friends say that he was always like that but when he was with Jen that he was calmer but i really doubt that pat was always like that, i think the breakup had a way bigger effect on pat because it really did seem like they truly loved each other but i can be wrong what matters is that pat is back and finally happy, he may not be the same pat we know him as but most of his fans grew up and can understand his new content better.

It's sad to see channels die even when the TH-camr didn't do anything wrong, but instead just kinda fall off the platform
Its good to see PopularMMOs back tho doing podcasts with his friends, something he really enjoys doing. was definitely an OG TH-camr for my childhood
I remember when my best friend, who I’ve known since kindergarten, introduced me to the popular MMO‘s TH-cam channel. The interesting coincidence is, that was probably around the time of 2018, 2019, 2020. oh well.
I remember getting a notification on the popular MMO‘s TH-cam channel, about Pat getting arrested. That really sucks.
Despite everything popular MMOs supposedly done I'm still rooting for him I've been watching Pat for a very long time and I know for a fact that he can get through this and hopefully bring his channel to its former Glory

It's sad that the Golden Age Minecraft TH-camrs are gone, but at least we still have our memories. Plus we have new Minecraft TH-camrs now, including me in the near future thanks to some inspiration from Pat. Minecraft will never die completely, even if some of these TH-camrs do.
There were so many nostalgic minecraft youtubers like SubZeroExtabyte, ExplodingTNT etc but they all left youtube. probably due to changing enviroment. they no longer have any ideas for new videos. i just wished i could see just 1 more video of them.
I think sky does Minecraft uploaded old style videos with bad mic cuz people were telling him they missed the old days so he tried doing exactly the same as 10 years ago
Lol
Seeing sky tryna return but seeing him severely depressed and unhealthy is.. Heart breaking
Amd he fucking deserves it, especially after what he put everyone else through
When i was child. I didn't even knew how to say hello in english, i watched sky does minecraft's videos, i learned english from him. It is sad that he became like that.
I don't know if you've done this already, I remember seeing videos talking about MC tubers that retired but have been doing well for themselves. I wouldn't mind a more positive side for part 2 if one hasn't done this channel already
PopularMMOs now has a podcast channel and its fire, more for older people, not kids, but still great for the people who just want him back. and its great.
"Good grief he's naked" -plankton
Sky was the Minecraft TH-camr I watched most back in the day so it sucks to see what became of him.
Same, an ancient pillar for the early days of the community that's now just a pile of rubble where it once stood.
I would like to see a video documenting Minecraft TH-camrs who jumped ship when Minecraft was failing, and found success doing so.
It is a shame TheMisterEpic youtube channel couldn't be saved. 😉
Something like that might happen one day.
To see the Challenge Games say 8 years ago when I remember waking up as a kid to watch PopularMMO videos that were uploaded a few hours ago feels really weird. Time really does fly now that I am an adult
The real Minecraft Universe (Jason) is now a musical artist. He doesn’t own his Minecraft TH-cam channel anymore.
10:55 Yo it's me!
It hurts to see Sky fall off.
A good amount of these make me sad since a decent amount of these people were my childhood
Watching this hurts a lot. But if I keep myself in the dark about this, I would've experienced a deep rabbit hole of disappointment and sadness. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug. But once it wears off, the crash is painful.
PopularMMOs was all a part of our childhoods its still really sad to look back and see it all gone
What about Ssundee? That man changed for the worse
EDIT: Yes I know he still gets over a million views. But I want to ask this. Is it still the Ssundee we all loved back in the day?
He still does Minecraft, and he was one of the TH-camrs who successfully adapted to the Modern TH-cam landscape.
@@iceresistanceis that a good Thing tho?
@@joshuasiebenhofer2452You could argue that it didn't, but I don't think you can argue that he 'failed'.
@@GamerTowerDX yes, but from my experience, many of His viewers are little Kids who have a pea-sized brain.
SSundee making content for a younger audience doesn't really mean he changed for the worse. He just learned to adapt. He makes videos based on what appeals to his audience, and it worked so well. I don't like his modern videos too, and I think they are "cringy" as what many people say. But you have to admit, that is a very smart move. He had a rough time back in early 2018 with his wife, but he learned to overcome that obstacle. I respect him for that. Perhaps you (the grown up audience) don't love him anymore, and so he probably lost a lot of subscribers. But compare his lost subs to his gained subs. Look at CaptainSparklez. He frequently uploads Minecraft videos and hasn't been to any drama as far as we know. And yet, SSundee is more successful than him. Moral of the story? Learn to be resourceful and adapt to changes.
6:45 He was arrested for that? God it was his friends idea
I keep forgetting team crafted hung out with Post Malone a lot that's so weird
God it feels weird seeing the end of popularmmos. As I had my username based off of him as grayskymmos for many video games that I still play to this day.
basically "how the mighty have fallen"
Guess you just had to use that phrase for the one millionth time
This really sucks, as I also watched a few of those Minecrafters making these interesting adventures and mods and end up like this.

awwh i miss xboxaddictionz :( I might go rewatch his videos like the old days 😭
Definitely prefer theses types of videos, pretty good bud 👍
There are honestly plenty of stories to be told about the second generation of Minecraft TH-camrs. Although I do Personally prefer the tales that end whit the creator leaving on their own terms, as rare as that might be
You do realize that popular mmo was falsely accused by his ex, they had so much evidence against her as well
Skydoesminecraft was the reason I play minecraft. The reason I wanted to do youtube. When Skymedia was a thing, I wanted to apply for a position there so badly. Sad to see him go so far downhill.
Thank fuck you didn't apply, especially knowing how he treated people around him
i dont know at least three of these TH-camrs but it is interesting to learn of their downfall and their attempt to revive their channels. in other words it seems like they had some major problems during their careers. my childhood favs were Dan and Stampy.
PopularMMOs got framed and hasn't really recovered from it
We have to understand that.. we are all humans and we are changing for the better or the worse. It is tough that most change for the worse
this guy is just SunnyV2 for minecraft now.

I like how trolling, a form of bullying and harassment, is often defended by people who like it by saying it's not bullying and harassment.
Mannn i remember sky. Shame how he went down a terrible path.
I grew up with him like many others, when i heard wtf he was doing i wasn't hurt, but it was certainly shocking. I didn't expect him of all people would go down like that.
Life is crazy, anything can happen. That being said, say you love your family, anyone in it. Because one day something bad could happen, and you might not get the chance to say it.
Good luck everyone, god speed.
In my eyes I see the information as fake, mainly because if any of it was true he should’ve been prisoner for over 15-20 years. But he hasn’t even been in there for one day. He is now a COO and many including me still respect him.
As of right now he is working with StoryFire and a group of developers including myself to bring a new server. Legally I can’t say what’s in the server but it is gonna be a big one.
Oh, I remember PopularMMOS mod showcases. Haven't seen or heard of him in a while and didn't know what was going on with him.
He’s back but now he makes podcast videos on a separate channel.
the saddest thing is to see your favourite channel not upload or just leave :c
The downfall of PopularMMOs was really sad for me. I really started playing around with mods in Minecraft because of him. I wanted to be just like him when I was younger. But now, he's a shadow of his former self. It's such a big shame because my Minecraft experience would probably not be the same without him.

No he fucking isn't he's not a shadow of anything, he's better then ever actually
Pat seems to be doing alright. he made a new vlog channel talking about his life and its working for him!!!!
