Your Favorite YouTubers: 2017 vs 2025

A two-panel cartoon meme comparing the state of 'favorite YouTubers' in 2017 and 2025. The top panel (2017) shows six diverse cartoon characters sitting casually on a hill under an orange sky, suggesting a vibrant, active era. The bottom panel (2025) depicts a dark, moonlit scene with five gravestones labeled with negative fates: 'DEAD.', 'PEDOPHILE.', 'RETIRED.', 'WENT MONEY HUNGRY.', and 'A WITCH TURNED THEM INTO A FROG, OR SOMETHING, IDK MAN.' A single character stands beside the gravestones with the caption 'STILL UPLOADING WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.', implying most YouTubers faced downfalls while one remains unscathed.

Origin notes

This appears to be a user-created satirical meme, likely circulated on platforms like Reddit or Twitter, using original digital illustration to comment on the perceived decline or varied fates of popular YouTubers over an 8-year span. The watermark 'inwinC' suggests possible association with the brand inwin, though it may be a coincidental inclusion or artist signature. The meme reflects common internet discourse about YouTuber controversies, retirements, and longevity.
