* In January 2013, Cyndi Seidelman of ''Website/GameShowGarbage'' made [[HePannedItNowHeSucks an induction bashing]] [[FanHater a fan site]] of ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''. She removed it in September 2017 for this reason:

*** There was once a trope called BoobsOfSteel, which is now considered to be an ultimate example of Troper Apophenia (I.E. seeing a pattern where there is none), as the entire trope boiled down to "[[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs X character has large breasts and is good at fighting]]". Not only was there no narrative intention behind this trope whatsoever, but a cursory examination into it found that there was no cultural or historical basis for its existence, so it was literally created because some troper saw at least three different {{Action Girl}}s with large breasts, somehow made it through TLP and ''somehow'' had their trope remain on the site for years and garner hundreds of wicks. [[FailedASpotCheck How we didn't notice that this trope didn't actually exist sooner is of great shame to us]].

* Parody V-Tuber WebVideo/TonkatsuSinclair creator Absolute Unit has completely disowned his old channel which was making abridged WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic episodes. Even after his return with the new channel after a year and a half, he refuses to return to his old content and openly despises being asked to do so.

* As explained in [[http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/about-newgrounds/history their official history]], after the dot-com bubble burst in the early '00s, Website/{{Newgrounds}} had to resort to running ads for porn sites in order to keep the lights on. They are not proud of this, mainly due to the poor image it gave to the site.

* LetsPlay/{{Videogamedunkey}} looks back on the Website/{{Newgrounds}} animations he made as a 12 year old with a combination of this and BileFascination. The introduction to "Old Dunkey and Cuphead" is basically just him slamming a bunch of stuff he made back in 2005 or so.

** He has said that when he posted the first episode of ''Metal Gear [[WebAnimation/AwesomeSeries Awesome]]'' on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, he thought it would get blammed (deleted for sucking).

* Sherrod [=DeGrippo=] created Encyclopedia Dramatica as an offshoot of [=LJDrama=], initially as a serious attempt to create a wiki devoted to chronicling internet drama, originally Website/LiveJournal drama. Then Website/FourChan discovered it, and ED became the wiki for {{troll}}s. [=DeGrippo=] came to hate the new direction of the site and the culture that had developed around it so much that, in 2011, she nuked the entire thing and relaunched it as Oh Internet, a safe-for-work site which was closer to her original intention. The ED community responded furiously, with mirrors of the site soon sprawling across the internet, while Oh Internet mostly failed to take off and folded after a few years.

* [=McMaNGOS=], creator of the "This Video Contains Win" Website/YouTube MemeticMutation, has apparently now come to despise it, to the point of ''irreversibly replacing the audio with some random song that nobody knows of''. This may have something to do with all the [[FollowTheLeader imitations]] it has spawned, and the fact that the fad was forced by [=McMaNGOS=] making sequels and demanding that people follow in his footsteps (although some of them were pretty funny).

* Evan Burse from the Website/YouTube drawing tutorial channel "cartoonblock" has admitted that his first tutorial, How to Draw Timmy Turner, wasn't the best work he had ever done.

* Eric "[=CBoyardee=]" Shumaker (Better known as that guy who created the SoBadItsGood Dilbert trilogy, among others) has grown ashamed of the videos that he created for his Website/YouTube channel to the point where he eventually took them all down. When asked for a statement as to why he did this, he responded with "fuck you is my official statement". Eventually, he ended up with a whole other backlash towards the crowds of people coming up to him and asking about his videos that caused him to scrub clean his Twitter, Tumblr, and a few other social media profiles. Very few of his videos are still available today, and he has even filed copyright claims against some reuploads of them.

%%* Many, many remixers in ''Website/YouTube'' say their remixes are crap, even if their audience likes them.
* Website/YouTube music critic WebVideo/TheDoubleAgent, being an absolute master of SelfDeprecation, has disowned many of his previous videos, both older and more recent. His least-favorite is his list of the worst love songs of the 1960s, which suffered from poor editing and a bad script; he put it at #1 on his list of videos he hated and subsequently made it private.

** He also detests his chat on Website/{{Twitch}} streamer Destiny's channel, in which he tried to defend his political views but [[OpenMouthInsertFoot his obvious rambling and "questionable" comments]] only proceeded to make the situation worst as following the interview, both him [[HitlerAteSugar and the members of his site ''Normal Boots'' lost a significant number of subscribers]] with Jon's cameo for the game ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' being removed in response to the issue. He ultimately posted a second video apologizing for the incident and better explaining his political views, and went into a half-year-long hiatus.

* Creator/MikeMatei made a video in 2012 in which he plays ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' with an animated Inspector Gadget. Suffice to say, the video was poorly received, so much in fact that it was taken off both the Cinemassacre website and their Website/YouTube channel. Years later, after Music/SiivaGunner made some high-quality rips featuring the video, Mike admitted that he himself was unhappy with the video and that it took him a long time to come to terms with it.
