Felix Kjellberg
YouTuber Pewdiepie was caught using some anti-Semitic language and posting Nazi propaganda in one of his posts in 2017. He also used the N-word in one of his livestreams in the same year. He issued a swift formal apology that said the word was used "in the heat of the moment, and one of the worst things” he could have possibly thought of. “I’m not going to make any excuses as to why I did it, because there are no excuses for it.”
Anthony Fantano
Anthony Fantano, one of YouTube's premiere music critics, was put under fire after it was discovered that he was behind an alt-right channel called thatistheplan. It's like 4Chan and has content that rages against women and SJWs. Even though his channel, The Needle Drop, is so successful, people weren't sure about his character anymore and he lost 400,000 subscribers.
