I used to watch various cartoons made my Mondo Media years ago like Dick Figures, Gundar, and Deep Space 69, but I haven't watched either consistently in a long while. I did recently re-watch a couple old and new Dick Figures though (including a "Chick Figures" cartoon from a year ago, and for those that don't know "Chick Figures" is an official Rule 63 spin-off that started as a joke but it became popular enough to gain more episodes outside of the original joke one) and sure a couple jokes might seem aged now (mainly any episodes that involve "Trollzor," a parody of stereotypical internet commentators who unironically enjoy rage face comics, and his facial expressions are always represented with said rage faces), but I dunno why I just "dropped off" any of those aforementioned series (weirdly one thing I forgot is I actually knew of Danny Sexbang before Game Grumps because of a thing he did with Mondo prior to Grumps where he helped promote some new shows Mondo introduced this one particular summer years ago).

Also when I was new to lets plays I used to watch a lot of Pewdiepie, but now I barely watch him. I know Markiplier and Jacksepticeye are similar commentators and all three of them like to joke about how they're basically clones of one another, but I kinda found Mark and Jack more enjoyable than Pewds overall. I did check out some of Pewds more recent stuff as I heard much of his 2016 output has actually been non-gaming related and he's kinda taken on a slight Filthy Frank influence now (also he made a video rather recently where he admits he finds a lot of his older material very cringe inducing), and some of it is rather enjoyable to be honest.

I used to watch cartoons made by Egoraptor and OneyNG, back when they still did them on Newgrounds. God I don't remember the last time Egoraptor even did any animations…

I also haven't seen much of Jerma985 or STAR_ recently, since they haven't been uploading.

Epic Rap Battles of history, they lost their appeal to me somewhere around the end of season 2

I've lost the motivation to finish the other half of RWBY's season two for some reason. I have a bad habit of dropping shows after binge watching episodes within a short period of time.

DBZ Abridged.

The angry joe show and most of channel awesome.

Arby n' the Chief

I like James Rolfe and he still comes out with good content, but I rarely watch Angry Video Game Nerd anymore. The joke went stale half a decade ago. Same thing happened to Nostalgia Critic. His reviews never got bad, but they were better when it was just Doug Walker talking about movies in front of a white wall. Now, it's much too complicated. All the storylines and characters are distracting and artificially extend the video's time to an annoying length. Too much filler, basically. Plus, he's reviewing too many new movies, which undercuts the nostalgic appeal of his work. Still, I usually like his editorials and occasionally watch his new NC videos if they are on something interesting.

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. I think they're still around.

I've pretty much stopped watching all let's plays, such as Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Cryaotic, and about 20 Minecraft youtubers.
Finebros after the copyright bullshit
Game Theory when it became more conspiracy headcanons then plugging history, science and math into video game scenarios (also clickbait titles and thumbnails)
Watchmojo for biased and poorly researched top 10's (and running out of ideas quickly) and Screenrant for clickbaity top 10's and literally repeating the same segments over again in new videos to the point where I thought I was accidentally re-watching an older video
Finally pretty much all of Channel Awesome after that rift that resulted in 99% of the old content creators jumping ship and getting replaced by (my opinion) less entertaining people (and see Farm Zombie's post for why I stopped watching new Nostalgia Critic). Funny enough, the only former Channel Awesome person I still watch is the Nostalgia Chick (don't hurt me please let me explain), but that's because I really like her analysis videos and video essays (also I think she did the better 2005 Phantom of the Opera review than the Nostalgia Critic without the need of a stupid gimmick). I do enjoy Doug and Rob's Sibling Rivalry and "Real Thoughts" videos, though.

I haven't watched a video of "Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This?" on Youtube in such a long time. I know it ended a couple of years ago but I haven't even bother to rewatch videos of it.

I used to watch this web series called "Know Your Meme" semi religiously, it was pretty cool, every episode they took a meme or something else that was popular on the internet at the time and talked about where it came from, why people found it funny, etc. They then stopped making videos so I stopped watching. Later I heard they were bought out by some sort of uber-commercial meme company and that may have been the reason behind the series ending.

I also used to watch a bit of That Guy With the Glasses off and on but I stopped a few years ago for some reason.

If we were to count let's plays as shows, there's Chuggaaconroy. I first started watching him back in 2010 when he did Super Luigi Galaxy. I didn't see his previous LPs but I did find snippets of them from the "Best/Funny Moments from Chuggaaconroy" videos. When he did Okami, I skipped it because at the time, I had never heard of it nor was my younger self interested in watching it.

I came back watching the following LPs he did but once he got to Okamiden, I skipped it for the same reasons as for Okami: Never heard of it at the time, wasn't interested, skipped over it. He started doing more LPs of games I never played, and I was started to lose interest in let's plays at the time. Even the ones I did play that he did LPs of like Kid Icarus: Uprising and Super Mario 64 DS, I barely watched any episodes of them.

The end came when he did Xenoblade Chronicles as his next LP. I knew about this game but never played because I could never find copies of it. I watched it assuming I would never play it, but after seven episodes, I stopped. I did not want to continue spoiling myself of the game's story of anything else of it any further. I never went back to Chuggaaconroy after he finished Xenoblade. My interests of let's plays were long gone.

Just web comics in general. I'm a fan, sure, but they update so slowly and put out so little content in those updates (The worst offenders being those who put out only about 1 page of 6-8 panels every week) that the story moves at a snail's pace- I guess because the artist never actually considered pacing an issue when writing a story- and I just lose interest before anything significant actually happens. With web comics that have extensively detailed art, I could understand an upload speed like that, but at least try to put out more content on a regular basis, or just release them in large chunks on a longer basis. It's like trying to read a novel over the author's shoulder while they're still writing it, you the reader take in the details so slowly compared to how you normally would and the author is constantly feeling the pressure of putting out good interesting content while under the eyes of someone who's constantly watching and judging every incomplete thing they make.

Used to watch some of Minnesota Burns videos but left for a while. After the incident and the channel becoming public, now renamed Minnesota Pranks, I lost all interest.

Also, as a kid, used to watch some crummy old video of Mario and his friends joining together for an adventure. As a kid, I loved it. As older, it definitely aged. also, it's gone so I can't find it.
