  The crazy thing about Toby is I forgot about him for years, and now in my young adulthood ran into him at a coffee shop that both him and I frequent. I won't say where for privacy reasons, but I ended up talking to him a few times, he definitely seems extremely affected by what happened it's a bit sad to see. He's trying to break out into an entertainment career outside of Youtube which I wish the best of luck to him in. Can believe me if you want or not, it was a surreal experience to meet someone you watched in your teens years almost 12 years later.

  I’m old enough to remember when Tobuscus and Pewdiepie had similar subscriber counts and they battled each other.

  You're absolutely right it was the perfect storm of allegations and his audience growing up. I was very young, my brother would show me his content when he was in grade school, and I was still at an age where the news wasn't something I watched, so I never heard of any allegations or even would've understood quite what that meant, but what did me in was the loudness and the silly voices that just didn't work once I get into middle school. My brother introduced me to Markiplier and the rest is history, as the glorious entry of FNAF swept me onto a train of new YouTubers leaving the days of Happy Wheels and Minecraft behind (until people would revisit them in 2020). There were moments I looked back and wondered what happened to YouTubers I used to watch, saddened by what happened with Smosh, Nigahiga, and the general decline of Tobuscus into obscurity.

  &quot;If you are currently anywhere between 17 and 23&quot;<br>Me, a 26 year-old who used to follow all three of Toby&apos;s channels: 👁👄👁<br>His Literal Trailers were all certified bangers but special mention goes to AC: Brotherhood and Dead Space

  Always fun to check back on someone you watched briefly a decade ago. Shame he ended up like that.

  As a 20 year old now, I used to watch his videos all the time with my brother. It was my younger brother that got me into his videos, and because of that everytime I get reminded of Toby nowadays, I get a deep longing of the time I used to spend watching Toby&apos;s videos with him. Especially from his Terraria and Minecraft series. It also gives me a deep nostalgia for old Youtube, my childhood, etc. I really hope Toby is doing well. He will forever be cemented in my heart.

  Thanks for giving a balanced and unbiased look at Toby. &nbsp;That’s a lot better than some of the other crap I’ve seen.
