VidLii: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

As the Second Renaissance began to wind down, so to did activity on VidLii as a whole. Many of the members who were active there stopped routinely uploading, and some, like Blood, were banned. A few users from YouTube, such as [[IronYoshi1212 Productions|IronYoshi1212]], joined VidLii and began to simultaneously upload there as well as on YouTube, but even so, it wasn't enough. The community on VidLii was pretty much dead as of August 2021, with a few very sporadic uploads here and there, with activity returning back to YouTube once more.

In 2022, VidLii faced controversy after it was revealed that its new management began hosting pro-Russian propaganda admist the war in Ukraine alongside allowing extremely graphic, racist, and violent content to be posted. In response, several community members who were on or joined the site deleted their accounts in protest, and others like IronYoshi, who hinted at a possible comeback to VidLii, took their matters elsewhere, with [[Tracle]] serving as a brief host Barney Bunch content. That said, a few members of the community joined the site during that year, notable veterans like [[ToiletPranker]], PanicPagoda, [[DrewPicklesTheDark]], and [[Thirteeniverse]], with a few VidLii-era users like BarneyBunchCompany and SavageBoy briefly returning to the site and two of Blood's previously banned channels from there coming back.

In late 2024, a new co-owner ~~rose to power on the website~~ and ~~removed~~ most of the ~~fascist/terrorist/gore/~~illegal content.

In late 2024, a new co-owner was announced and most of the illegal content was removed after an individual stabbed several people in Turkey, with news outlets pointing towards their VidLii account as a source for their rhetoric. Even so, the community on VidLii is still inactive, so time will tell if users will return to the site again.
