Around the first stages of the end of the Renaissance, Blood created the [[Barney Bunch Weekly Contest]] in October after noticing that video production was at an all time low, and after several weeks of participation, Skewt eventually won the contest for the first time and became the host in early November. However, that very week, tragedy struck. On November 14, 2016, the day he was to judge that week's videos and select the winner for that week, Skewt's original channel was terminated after he received a third strike on his account (he had gotten a second strike the previous day and posted a video about it to his now-abandoned backup channel which he created in late 2014), so he had to create a new account and reuploaded a select batch of his old videos that he had selected for preservation.

Skewt would continue on his new account for the next ~~two~~ and a ~~half years~~, but eventually, the community had become so uneventful that he retired from active video making on March 29, 2018, with his final two major videos of note being a two part saga where Drew's son [[Drew Pickles Jr.]] is kidnapped by the [[Pube Muppet]], but the second part of which was taken down under his nose and he has no way of reuploading it, leaving it incomplete ~~and lost~~. However, he eventually moved to VidLii in December 2018, and continued to make new content on there, helping spearhead the Second Barney Bunch Renaissance there. He gradually lost interest in the Barney Bunch by November 2020. On March ~~31st~~, 2022, his second YouTube channel, Skewt is Back, was terminated. Thankfully, most ~~if not all~~ his videos were saved and uploaded to the [[Internet Archive]].

On April 27, 2023, the community discovered that his VidLii account and videos were hidden. Luckily, a decent number of his videos on the platform were archived on the Wayback Machine, and using the developer tools, the URLs for the video files were found. The video files were surprisingly intact and therefore downloadable, so they were uploaded to the Internet Archive as well starting in February 2024.
