In a video released this week, Youtube investigator and general-hub of all things Youtube, Keemstar managed to get a phone interview with Leafy.
For those wondering, Leafy was once one of the biggest Youtube commentators, whose videos commanded millions and views and to this day his channel has millions of subscribers, albeit he has not created content in nearly a year.
So, why did the controversial commentator decide to leave the platform?
In short, it sounds like he made money and then got out. It seems that after his Content Cop exposure, Leafy was actually quite a private person, which is ironic considering his line of work.
Regardless, he now spends his time building and IRA portfolio and dabbling in crypto-currencies - which would have been from the Youtube wealth he amassed.
On top of this, he mentioned no real desire to re-join the site and seemed to be quietly enjoying his new lifestyle; he further stated that the Youtube adsense/monetization system harmed his income and that he got burnt out of making weekly videos.
Furthermore, Leafy was asked by Keem about his previous beefs, including H3H3 and Keemstar himself, to which Leafy responded that he wasn't really angry at anyone and he seemed at peace with the previous drama, further mentioning that his Keemstar feud was used to generate ad-revenue.
Overall it was an honest interview from Leafy; he didn't seem too enthusiastic about Youtube and possibly will not come back. However, he did seem fairly happy and for all his faults, you cannot deny that he was good at what he did when it came to making interesting videos.

Youtube's Team 10 Exposed (Alleged Nick Crompton scandal)
Recently, the Youtube super-group of vloggers, known as 'Team 10' have been rapidly gaining popularity and millions of views on the website and social media at large.
Part of this was down to the 'Everyday Bro' video from their leader Jake Paul who created a stir through his cocky persona and lack of creativity with his song lyrics.
Since then a slew of response videos followed and the Team 10 fame rose to even bigger heights - as well as infamy for being somewhat cringe worthy, nonetheless from a fame and monetary perspective, their success cannot be denied.
Going further down the Youtube rabbit hole found this clip from Instagram model 'Mick Maio' (link here: https://www.instagram.com/mickmaio/?hl=en). As seen, he is quite an attractive gent, plus his Instagram shots do seem quite homoerotic (which is relevant to the story later).
Anyway, to cut a long story short, according to his video - Mick was invited to the Team 10 house to hang out and possibly even join the outfit. Here he claims that Jake Paul was in charge of the house, that it wasn't as fun as it seemed and that the other members were not making the money which was hinted at.
So far, these claims are fairly tame. Based on his popularity it would be easy to assume that Jake Paul was the most successful and that there was a degree of sensationalism behind their videos...to think otherwise would be somewhat naive.
However, the most shocking part of the video is when Maio claimed that Team 10 CEO Nick Crompton came on to him via text messages, and pestered him if he could 'suck his dick'. In short, Maio goes on to claim that Crompton (a known homosexual) wanted sexual favours for Maio to enter the house and therefore elevate his career. Maio claimed that after he rejected his advances, he was thrown out of a party, their relationship soured and he left (it is worth noting that Maio is a heterosexual, so you can see how things could become uncomfortable).
Anyway, it is very important to state that these are merely the words of Maio himself and none of this is fact or proven - but merely based on his own self-published video entitled 'Truth about Team 10'. This video can be viewed below and viewers can come to their own conclusions.
