What's on your mind?

it seems that whenever some people get to a certain point in their youtube career, usually around a certain subscriber number, they completely change their content or things they do to reach a wider audience, while alienating their old fans. They're not "Them" anymore. And quite often, the person will be completely uncaring towards their old fans, or current fans, and will even get in social media fights with fans over the changes. The new "Fans" will troll and spam the old fan into hiding, oftentimes saying "Kill yourself" or "Go watch something else then" in response, and the youtuber will do nothing to stop their fans from attacking the poor soul. In fact, they oftentimes fan the flames by talking about the person, and how everything they do should be accepted, or you're not a true fan.
It really bothers me, and I end up unsubscribing because of these traits that suddenly appear. Usually later on, they become something they never were before, and put out junk content just to stay afloat, and I suddenly don't feel so bad unsubscribing. Checking back a month or two later, their content is repetitive and uninspired. If you check their social media feeds, it's normally a lot of complaining, sometimes fights with old fans, etc.
It has spread like a virus lately, more and more, and I hope I never become like that.
That's what's on my mind right now.
