Why Ricegum's Channel Died

RiceGum: KZbin's Most Infamous. After being one of the fastest creators ever to go from 100,000 to 5,000,000 subscribers, RiceGum's channel has slowly fallen out of the spotlight. From a man who would call everyone irrelevant, to ending up irrelevant himself. 200 million views per month, to 2 million views per month. From telling everyone that he would never be one of those KZbinrs to stop uploading, to 5 months without a video. This video will examine the death of RiceGum's channel, exploring theories and the story as to how it happened.

This is very untrue, when you get a lot of views and attention and it doesn't relent, that changes your personality a lot. I know this because it happened to me. My channel kind of exploded out of nowhere, and although it's only at 1.45k, that's not bad for the community I make videos for. I wasn't really ready for all the attention I got, and it made me very self centered. Now imagine how much Ricegum got changed from him getting more than 1,000,000 times more subscribers than me.

@@SkeletonSSBM You can only speak for yourself, though, your experiences are not universal. If you switched up after your channel exploded, that only means you weren't 'mature' enough to handle it and your change in behavior acts as the unveiling of who you are (or were) at your very core.

I can't believe you didn't mention Idubbbz's content cop, it's literally proof that Rice has done a lot of shit that can be criticized years before his last upload. It shows that despite still growing an audience, his reputation in the wider KZbin community is small to none. The scandal was indeed a nail in the coffin, but the pay off would've been much better if you'd mention Content Cop.

[@Zackary_]

This dude once reached out to me about doing some design work from him. When I first received the email, I was not too weirded out as I work for a professional gaming company and get a lot of my bigger clients off word of mouth. His email matched the email in his about section of his youtube account, so I responded. When I asked about commission, as any freelancer does, he flipped out and acted as if I should bow down to him. He told me the amount of "exposure" I would get is more than enough and that I am sounding "ungrateful." He mentioned how he will just go get one of his thousands of designers that will work for free for him. I simply responded that I am sorry it didn't work out, and best of luck with his free designs. I have worked for "exposure", as any other esports designers I'm sure have at one time. I quickly learned that doesn't pay the bills. I am in no way shocked his ego got the best of him. I only really knew of ricegum from his past videos, so thought it would be a cool opportunity to work with him. Little did I know the ego he has let take over from his early youtube days. Great video as always! UPDATE: To anyone doubting, I’ve got nothing to prove to any of you. I’m not sure what the point of faking this would be….exposure? I don’t post videos, and I work full time and no longer take client work. Believe me if you’d like, or don’t. I’m not going to lose sleep at night over it. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t take the time to write up a comment to fake some BS.
