It seems that it's about 50/50 whether you stopped watching someone based on some allegations that came out, or you just outgrew their style.
One that I outgrew is probably Game Grumps. I watched them regularly for years, then one day just kinda stopped.
Shows like that rely a lot on real conversation & stories. Eventually, Dan & Arin had been doing game hrumps for so long they just sorta, ran out of both? At least, not to be able to support such a hellish release schedule of episodes. Too much time together, playing games, means they didn't have anything to supplement it with anymore, so all that was left was the same jokes repeated for timekillers.
Occasionally broken by Arin being a music dork instead of a gaming dork, leading to magic like introducing him to Gen1 Pokemon designs.
... oh god that was nine years ago.
