What on Earth happened to this guy? I remember him being a big channel on YouTube, but now he can barely make 1000 views a video :S

Didn't he also used to be a TV presenter or something?

I've heard of people naming their kids after Star Wars characters, but never the religion.

Checked his most popular videos and yeah, this guy used to get six-seven figures a few years ago.

Think this was the guy that Lordkat used to have a hate boner for, and yeah those are some crazy low numbers. Did he do something like classic game room to where he alienated his fans to stop watching?
Youtube is a weird thing, anything trending on it is from hollywood like jimmy kimmel or music videos, its obvious they want the small youtuber gone.
If I had to take a guess on what people like now its "documentary" style videos, like gaming historian for instance, people want to learn now about things.

It looks like he couldn't stop posting about his kid and other shit nobody cares about.

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember Lordkat screaming bloody murder for the guy, along with Leo Laporte - then again, he was shitting his pants over so many people that it didn't seem out of ordinary.
I have no idea who this guy is, all I see is a father desperate to show his fugly daughter to the world. And a guy that has nothing to say, which is why nobody watches him anymore.
// So I've checked him out and do you guys want a recepy on how to get rid of all of your fanbase on a succesful youtube channel? Throw away the content people used to watch you, and do over 2 years of nothing but daily vlogs of your ordinary life. What. The. Fuck. I'm assuming at some point, he just decided to quit and started using youtube only as a hobby to document his boring life, which strangely enough is the opposite of how many other youtubers work.

Ok, new post, because this is getting confusing. Larry, you are full of shit, Pirillo was never significant, he always had videos with only thousands of views and the only big ones were when he covered something big like iPads or VR, like Ocumus Shit, or he managed to make something that went viral, but obviously he didn't have a formula for that, it was just luck.
So statement retracted, I can't say he was ever succesful, most of his videos have around 1000-5000 views, some go higher, but really, maybe he was big because he used to make so many of those videos, but he was never big in a sense that a lot of o people would watch him.
