Did you see this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz3mQhuMACs

Any thoughts? She seems pretty sad about her past behavior, which, while things she should apologize for, doesn't seem that bad. I don't think you need to apologize for standard "girls are like this, but guys are like this" jokes because they offend gender-fluid people.

I never thought she was that funny, so I'm not disappointed in her leaving; I just thought some of you might want to know.

Youtubers have it VERY rough. So even if people arent hounding her for her Bads 10 years ago, I imagine the implicit fear of being the next toxic person who nobody wants to be around is why she left.

That shit was stupid and offensive at face value anyway.

Neither did I. And after I made the mistake of watching one of her videos, YT kept recommending her shit for ages. That was before they had the "Don't recommend this channel" option iirc.

You shouldn't care. Frankly, I'm surprised it was posted on PotD. I wasn't surprised that it was posted on CE, but PotD usually has at least *some* standards.

Many of them made a good amount of money by talking into a camera. I'd hardly call it rough.

No reason to leave.

Harassment's on the upswing in general, and the entire YouTube economy is a massive dumpster fire. People who managed to turn it into successful careers in the past are finding it harder and harder to generate revenue every day.

When you reach the point where you're working twice as hard to make half as much money, you probably start to think about giving up on the whole thing. And if you're already sitting on a giant pile of "fuck you money", it's a lot easier to get out now when you're still relatively on top and can exploit what's left of your entertainment cred into other projects outside the Internet than sticking around until you've used up most of the good will and prior attention and are just a has-been looking for loose change.

Now's probably a perfect time for someone like her to get out. If anything, I'd absolutely say it's a case of this:

No, it's one of things where the vast majority of people legitimately wouldn't know while would-be hipsters make a big deal about them. Honestly, this whole thing is probably a publicity stunt in general. How else is she going to make her money? An OnlyFans page?

Why is she so sad? It's almost like she has ruined someone's livelihood or something.

I used to watch her sometimes like seven or eight years ago.
I stopped watching her vids because I realized I only did it because she was a girl.

Now I only watch real quality content like Videogame Dunkey.

It depends. If they have like any hardcore fans, it might make a difference. Especially when you've been doing stuff for around a decade and have 20 million subscribers. People might wonder where you are. And there will definitely be some who care...

It kind of does, though. There are YouTubers from like a decade ago who just up and vanished at the height of their popularity who people STILL bring up in a "what ever happened to...?" sort of context.

If you openly say "Hey guys, I'm deliberately stepping away from YouTube because of X, Y, and Z", it keeps people spending the next few years trying to figure out if you died of some illness or got murdered or were kidnapped and brainwashed by some sort of cult.

Ironically, depending on your ego and what you want out of the situation, walking away without a goodbye might actually be the more valuable option, because it will help perpetuate your reputation even after you're gone. While an actual goodbye is more what you'd expect from actual human beings who may genuinely care about their audience and the people in it and give them something resembling closure instead of just severing all ties like a bit of a sociopath.

I watch enough 'spooky' YT channels to realize that it absolutely does make a difference.

If they vanish, people start speculation and all kinds of wild rumors. Without fail.

She's leaving because people are being overly sensitive though.
I mean, I don't give a shit if someone jokes about me.
It's just a joke, it's not to be taken seriously.
Just laugh and maybe retaliate by making a joke about them.

I feel so lonely sometimes and being joked about makes me feel less lonely.

STFU. How is it cancel culture? She is leaving on her own accord.

If someone leaves "of their own accord", but their reason is "because people are constantly harassing me and I'm tired of dealing with it", and the people they're complaining about are almost entirely the sort of people fueling cancel culture and perpetuating the Internet Outrage Machine, then by definition, cancel culture would absolutely be the cause.

You don't literally have to be "cancelled" by cancel culture in order for cancel culture to drive you away.

If anything, that's the real problem behind that mentality. It's not the people they actually manage to get fired/ostracized, it's the people they terrify into silence or conformity by virtue of constant harassment to the point of bordering on terrorism.

I'm not saying that's the case here (I can't even remotely give enough of a shit about Jenna Marbles to know whether or not she's been harassed by so, and if so, by whom, why, and to what extent), but it certainly could be, even if she's walking away of her own accord.

I wish her nothing but the worst. She seemed like a lousy vlogger from the one or two videos I had watched (the fact that YT kept recommending her was YT's fault) and, having learned more about her, she seems like a lousy person as well. She's already had more good fortune than she deserves without really working for anything. However, I know this shit is probably just a stunt and she'll be back eventually, or she's find some new way to profit off her fans.
