So, Markiplier, one of YouTube's brightest megastars, brought fame and fortune through philanthropy and screaming like a little girl at things, has been brought down somewhat. After what I understand was a long and productive relationship working with Cyndago (or the remaining members of Cyndago, I don't know exactly what to call them after they broke up the way they did) they suddenly appeared on the ever-expanding Game Grumps network, with multi-chinned maniac producer Egoraptor. Now, switching teams isn't exactly newsworthy on YouTube, but when the guys cried foul about Markiplier's working conditions, people looked at Markiplier with a newfound interest- the sort usually reserved for Tobuscus, or whatever popular channel has become a pariah lately. So, to come to terms with the monster his fans were making him out to be, Markiplier dropped this onto his fan page. (not my screenshots)




So, there you have it. The man has, in short, owned up to his faults. But, what does that mean exactly? YouTube demands entertainers, or much like gladiators that fail to perform, they'll be tossed to the beasts to be eaten for the crowds amusement. Channels suffer this fate everyday, and even channels close to power and influence are no exception to disaster. Yammimash, a channel that for all intents and purposes did the same things Markiplier did, and even had the benefit of breaking Slenderman AND Five Nights at Freddys when they were new, was crushed utterly by a scandal. This is the sort of thing that can topple giants.

So, what do you think, Fort Fantasy dwellers- is Mariplier on the road to recovery, or are we seeing the beginning of the end of an era? Let me know, I'm curious to hear your responses, if for no other reason than to make me feel less weird when I talk about this stuff.

That is true, Jack has been on the rise lately doing basically the same thing.
