CreepShow Art was once a rising star in the storytime community. Precisely, the art commentary niche. If we have learned anything from researching this story, The internet is a big place; if you have a small audience, you can probably get away with lying for quite a while, but - as your audience grows - so do your chances of being seen by someone capable of calling it out. If you’re trying to make a genuine life and career as a YouTuber - using shady tactics is not worth the risk. Just be honest with your audience - they’ll respect you more for it.  Welcome to The Dark Side of Youtube.

Trey Sesler, known as Mr. Anime to those online, was reasonably popular in the early days of YouTube's anime community. At first, it would seem that Trey was like many other people discovering YouTube for the first time, posting content that would be seemingly random or without purpose or forethought. That would quickly change as Mr. Anime's twisted descent from reality became apparent in his uploads. Things would eventually escalate to a breaking point no one imagined possible. Join host Autumn Ivy as they deep dive into Mr. Anime's twisted mind and his heinous crimes against the ones he loved the most. Welcome to The Dark Side of Youtube.

Eric Auvinen may not be a name you have heard of before but rest assured, the story behind that name is ruthless, vulgar, and utterly senseless. Many killers have documented their manifestos on YouTube, but none have been so bold and cruelly calculated as Eric Auvinen, The Original YouTube Serial Killer. Welcome to the Dark Side of YouTube.

Welcome back, Darksiders; in this episode, we dive into quite possibly our most disturbing rabbit hole yet. Many of us remember the wild west days of YouTube and the many unsavory characters that came with it. While others went on to lead long-lasting prolific careers, some like EDP445 found themselves constantly fighting to stay relevant due to their edgy content. EDP445 would be loved by many in YouTube's underground scene, but when he was caught in 4K trying to meet up with minors, a genuinely sickening story would begin to unravel. Welcome to the Dark Side of YouTube.
