Vloggers That Just Disappeared?

[leest86]

Hey guys. Been a long time reader here love watching vlogs. Over the years some vloggers have disappeared but most of the time we all find out why/what happened.

I used to love watching fragmasterkarl but his channel has been deleted, and numerous posts on a few forums have been wiped out too. Not all post are gone though....I found out his name and a page for a business he runs but theres no recent updates on it.

Also his forum contributions all stop around 2015, even the forum I found that he ran and done regular server updates etc...just hoping he hasnt had a bad accident is all....Im hoping worst case scenario he was charged with dangerous riding. Some of his videos were crazy, but i loved his mod videos they were awesome. But now its all gone....

Never heard of the bloke but I've stumbled across dead YouTube channels that had some pretty good content. A shame really but life gets in the way.

Munkeh's Motors is a prime example. He just upload weekly but since he changed jobs his away from home and didn't get chance to film let alone ride. In the end he sold the bike since he wasn't using. A shame really but thats life.

With you writing that the channel was deleted I think the creator found it to be some sort of liability in their life. That could be due to legal or possibly professional (job) issues...

Rebelyell91 was one I really liked to watch, his channel is still up but hasn't been updated in a few years. The last upload was 4 years ago. No explanation as far as I've been and to see, just seemingly dropped off the Earth.

It is those that worry me because what if the rider had a fatal crash and their next of kin/estate does not know how to gain access? You know like Facebook until they allowed individuals to set designated persons to handle the term page in the event of death.

Shame at times they can't say somthing but I get if there is a issue like thesse that they are if course are more important than a few people that watch you online.

Thats a good point never though about that. I know no one would have access to my login details I use LastPass and use random passwords and even then the master password for that is not somthing that someone would figure out.

I'm sure some people just get over it, or if you ride like this guy did at some stage someone will call you out and you might want to go into hiding.

There have also been quite a few that I liked that do say 10-20 videos then stop for no reason.

I believe Google have a policy where you can nominate someone to be able to access your account. Currently something going through the US court about access to an online account of a deceased.

that is cool, be nice to have an end to a channel should the worst happen!

He stopped vlogging while he's attending college and I think he also sold his KLR. He wants to return once he's graduated but that will depend on what job he gets.
I've met up with him a couple of times and I think he makes a brief appearance in one of my vlogs from a couple of years ago. He's a really nice guy IRL.

There's probably 5 or 6 motovloggers that I really liked that just stopped uploading. I guess some of them didn't do a farewell video as they never intended to quit, just take a break, and they never got back into it.

True, I never really looked at it that way.

Good to know he's still around! He seems like a very humble guy. He was one of the first motovlogers I really started to get into, along with m13.
