    He didn't become irrelevant because of what he did, he became irrelevant because he stopped posting. That's literally it. He just became lazy. I studied his audience and they're blindly faithful, and he would likely be at 20M subs if he kept posting, like KSI or Logan Paul. It's not that deep.
    Prime example is Keemstar. The guy is HATED and did so much negative crap that people dislike and yet his channel is doing the best it ever was, despite so many times where he was losing subs, simply because he still posts consistently and gives value to his audience.

    A very good point made about vlogging. I think vlogging looked attractive when youtubers were at the humble beginnings , the editing was organic and their stories felt real. Then their subscriber grew, editing became polished and targeted, their stories turn to ad rolls and bragging and then they became un relevant and their popularity fell off.

      This is very untrue, when you get a lot of views and attention and it doesn't relent, that changes your personality a lot. I know this because it happened to me. My channel kind of exploded out of nowhere, and although it's only at 1.45k, that's not bad for the community I make videos for. I wasn't really ready for all the attention I got, and it made me very self centered. Now imagine how much Ricegum got changed from him getting more than 1,000,000 times more subscribers than me.

    I like how people are just hearing about NigaHiga, one of the most OG UA-camrs, and writing comments like "sunny said the n word?????"
    FYI, nigahiga is Okinawan and his name translates to "ranting higa". Higa is his last name and he was famous for his comedic rants among other things. He was well-respected in the old UA-cam days because he was one of the first to have 1 million subscribers and collabed with other OGs like Smosh, Jenna Marbles, and more.

    This dude once reached out to me about doing some design work from him. When I first received the email, I was not too weirded out as I work for a professional gaming company and get a lot of my bigger clients off word of mouth. His email matched the email in his about section of his youtube account, so I responded. When I asked about commission, as any freelancer does, he flipped out and acted as if I should bow down to him. He told me the amount of "exposure" I would get is more than enough and that I am sounding "ungrateful." He mentioned how he will just go get one of his thousands of designers that will work for free for him. I simply responded that I am sorry it didn't work out, and best of luck with his free designs. I have worked for "exposure", as any other esports designers I'm sure have at one time. I quickly learned that doesn't pay the bills.
    I am in no way shocked his ego got the best of him. I only really knew of ricegum from his past videos, so thought it would be a cool opportunity to work with him. Little did I know the ego he has let take over from his early youtube days. Great video as always!
    UPDATE:
    To anyone doubting, I’ve got nothing to prove to any of you. I’m not sure what the point of faking this would be….exposure? I don’t post videos, and I work full time and no longer take client work. Believe me if you’d like, or don’t. I’m not going to lose sleep at night over it. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t take the time to write up a comment to fake some BS.

      His channel is dead because he barely uploads. He focuses on twitch now, where he averages 12-15k viewers with 1 million followers. Also he stills gets a couple million views every time he does upload on UA-cam. Not the same as he did before but he’s far from irrelevant. You can’t compare a year where he uploaded every year to one where he uploaded a handful of times then say someone’s irrelevant because they dropped a ton in monthly views. Sample sizes are way too different

      @@SudanGuy even when uploaded regularly ( which for him is 1 vid per month) the amount of views he got had stagnated , always getting somewhere 2 - 3 million views indicating little growth. Also even if he was pulling in decent views , let me ask you , over the 2 or 1 and a half years , how much did you hear about him ? People here prolly didnt even know he uad a twitch till someone mentioned it . The reason people call him irrelevant isnt because of views , but because he isnt mentioned much anymore. This leads to slower growth and stagantion with viewers with the channel not going anywhere.

    He literally said he stopped posting on UA-cam because he doesn’t want to.

    I'd argue that RiceGum got "irrelevant" only because he stopped posting. His subscribers were still going to consume his content regardless. Also his Twitch averages 15k views and he has a family channel called FamilyGum which uploaded many times this year.
    ALSO for all you peabrains saying "Sunny said the n word" if you are not aware, there's this Japanese youtuber named NigaHiga who was the biggest UA-camr on the platform in the late 2000s. There is ZERO racial context about it. Obviously you guys watching are too young to even remember him so you automatically assume he's being "racist." God this generation is so soft.
