Was there ever any consequences for the whole Channel Awesome thing?

Doug lost a lot of credibility, but enough people still watch his slop so he's still doing it, just without a stable of other content creators orbiting him and being abused.

The Change the Channel thing or the abuse?

CW: Suicide and SAAs far as I know Jewario killed himself in 2014 after being fired because heremovedd someone in 2013 and was fired from CA, iirc, he had a history of sexual harassment and the CA staff covered up, or didn't bother doing much.

As for the Change the Channel people, in the end Linkara and a lot of them ended up revealing themselfs as very unlikable people with huge egos. A lot of what they said was true and Doug lost credibility (also because Doug killed the nostalgia critic in some of his shitty movies, only for later on to ressurect the character).

Nowadays Doug mostly retired all characters except for the Critic (I think the Hobo Reviews was fucking up with his voice) and he continues to make his cringe reviews, and he seems to know they're very cringe but he seems happy making them (at least a lot more happier than James who feels like he's being forced at gun point to make AVGN).
