Top 10 Huge YouTube Channels That Don’t Exist Anymore
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the largest YouTube Channels that you can’t watch anymore.
#10: Jack septiceye2
Despite its name, this channel wasn’t actually run by Jack Septiceye. In fact, it didn’t even have anything to do with him. Instead, the account was launched by fellow creator, PewDiePie, as a cheeky way to get a second YouTube subscriber plaque. Why did he need another one, you ask? Well, apparently, PewDiePie’s original button got damaged in shipping. And, for him, the quickest way to get a new one was to make a whole other channel. It worked like a charm, but afterwards, PewDewPie didn’t have a need for Jack septiceye2 anymore. So, he deleted the whole thing, and repurposed the stunt as a video on his main channel.
#9: Kamerzysta
After a stint as a Youtuber cameraman, Lukasz Wawrzyniak decided to step in front of the lens. Thanks to his and his friend’s willingness to push the envelope, success came easy. But, so did controversy. As it turns out, most people don’t like watching grown men swim through sewers or eat cat litter. Especially when they’re being coerced by someone who’s only interested in viewership and clickbait. In 2021, YouTube terminated Wawrzyniak’s main channel, Kamerzysta, for violating community guidelines. His second channel, Kamuś, fell soon after. Without his YouTube footprint, Wawrzyniak was left with nothing but a court date to try his blatant misuse of power.
#8: Yahan Sach Dekho
In 2023, the Indian Government terminated at least eight accounts across YouTube for peddling fake news on their national election. Among the fallen was, you guessed it, Yahan Sach Dekho. The Press Information Bureau took issue with the channel’s extremely liberal poll results and frequent lies about electronic voting. It’s not like this channel was shouting into an empty void, either. On the contrary, by the time it was deleted, Yahan Sach Dekho had reportedly amassed over 100 million views. Given all that, it’s no wonder the government had to step in and make it go kaputt. Hey, at least Yahan Sach Dekho has a lot of company in the YouTube graveyard.
#7: Joana Ceddia
With wit, style, and more humor than she knew what to do with, Joana Ceddia was considered one of the breakout creators of the late 2010s. And she had the numbers to prove it. Then, suddenly, Ceddia just… vanished. Without any warning, she deleted both her Instagram and YouTube channel, leaving over three million subscribers asking why. To this day, there’s been no official explanation behind Ceddia’s abrupt retirement. But, some speculate that it has something to do with the challenge of balancing college, mental health, and an online presence at the same time. Either way, the fact is that Ceddia’s gone, and it doesn't look like she’ll return any time soon.
#6: ItsOwen
It takes a long time to build up three and a half million subscribers. But, as ItsOwen will attest, all it takes is one bad move to lose them all. After the death of prolific YouTuber Technoblade, ItsOwen posted a short clip featuring MrBeast, another popular creator, saying goodbye. Except, it wasn’t real. In actuality, ItsOwen had embellished MrBeast’s last words in order to capitalize on Technoblade’s death. It got people to watch, but not for reasons ItsOwen would have liked. People were rightfully up in arms about his disrespectful use of clickbait. Eventually, YouTube caught wind of the backlash, and deleted his channel for multiple terms of service violations.
#5: RG Factboy
Not even YouTube shorts are immune to the good, old ban-hammer. That’s something not even RG Factboy could change. As his name implies, he focused his short-form content on providing fun tidbits or tips. It sounds innocent enough, but as YouTube soon realized, RG Factboy’s channel was a copyright nightmare. Despite some flashy editing, many of his videos were thought to be stolen or copied with fresh voiceover placed on top. Combine that with accusations of inflated viewership and unlawful spam, and it’s no surprise. YouTube had to step in. So, with a quick termination, they said goodbye to RG Factboy and his millions of fans.
#4: Unus Annus
From its very conception, this channel was always a one-time deal. YouTubers Markiplier and CrankGameplays made the account with every intention of deleting it all in twelve months. After all, the name “Unus Annus” roughly translates to “one year” in Latin. Whether it was their creative ambition or the marketing ploy, the channel exploded in popularity, to the tune of four and a half million subscribers. But, true to their word, Markiplier and CrankGameplay pulled the plug on Unus Annus after a year. It was sad to see it go, but considering the goodbye livestream commanded over a million concurrent viewers, it’s safe to say Unus Annus went out on top.
#3: LeafyIsHere
There’s a very fine line between constructive criticism and flat-out harassment. It took a few years, but LeafyIsHere eventually wound up on the wrong side of that fence. His commentary had always been aggressive, but it went to a whole new level when he started going after the well-known Twitch streamer, Pokimane. Leafy posted several videos openly berating her on everything from her lifestyle to her ideological beliefs. But, as the views and insults racked up, so did the YouTube Terms of Service strikes. Then, in August of 2020, Leafy’s channel was officially banned on the grounds of repeated online harassment.
#2: ClownXiao
If you’re looking for free currency in Roblox, you’re better off looking elsewhere. Despite what ClownXiao’s brightly-colored thumbnails promised, they never actually gave away any free Robux. The links they posted beneath their videos were just scams to lure unsuspecting audiences to the channel, and sadly, it worked. Even though ClownXiao was repeatedly called out for their deceptive practices, their channel still earned upwards of 6 million followers. But, it didn’t make it very far beyond that. ClownXiao had just passed a year online when YouTube shut the channel down for good. Unfortunately, that’s the best all of the disappointed Roblox fans could’ve hoped for.
#1: ImJayStation
When it comes to the worst thing a YouTuber has ever done for clout, faking your girlfriend’s death has got to be pretty high on the list. But, ImJayStation didn’t just stop there. Using a ouija board, he visited an actual cemetery to supposedly make contact with her. The word “tasteless” doesn’t even begin to cover it. When it came out that he’d fabricated the whole thing, you could say people were mad. So mad that YouTube had no choice but to demonetize his channel. In a little over a year, that turned into a full-on ban. Even if Jay eventually does get his channel back, no amount of tearful apologies can repair his reputation.
