THAT kind of dead. There’s plenty of channels like that from the heyday of Youtube, with a lot of people hoping to get filthy rich off of one moment of virality, or trying to make a career out of it but never getting the blessing of the algorithm. And it’s still happening, now more than ever as more people get hooked on the promise of online fame. The internet is constantly changing and growing, and for every creator making it big, there’s a thousand others who, for whatever reason, drop off the face of the Earth.For better, or for worse.One such person caught my eye, however, and I wanna take a moment to recall the story of this person, and the disturbing reason why she left the platform, and the rabbit hole of madness I ended up going down the more I uncovered about this channel.Starting September of last year, there was a Youtuber by the name of Madame Musicmouth. She was a stereotypical fashion vlogger who had a flattering ‘tres–chic’ style of outfits and a witty personality, and grew a small but dedicated fanbase. She also posted music and film reviews, song covers and the occasional lifestyle vlog. Her signature opening was her waving to the camera before saying, “Bonjour everyone, this is Madame Musicmouth” in a sort of sing-song voice.From these videos, fans would eventually learn that her real name was Clarisse Delacroix, she was eighteen years old at the time of starting her channel, and she was originally from Bordeaux, France, before moving to America with her aunt when she was about seven years old.Perhaps one of Clarisse’s most popular video series was her song covers. She would usually sit at her aunt’s piano and sing a popular song from the 70s pop songs up to today’s music. She would also wear pretty and flattering outfits during her covers, mostly low-cut dresses with high heels. It would appear that she got a lot of followers fawning over her looks, a majority of them being male admirers, judging by the sometimes provocative comments. Clarisse would always comment back, thanking them, including the more lewd comments; I noted how she would often tease the commenter in several replies on several of her videos.Perhaps her most popular video was her cover of ‘Blame it on the Boogie’ by Michael Jackson. Not sure why this was her most popular song, but it got over one point seven million views before the video was taken down along with her other videos.Later down the line, the first few slivers of scepticism arose as more about Clarisse was discovered. It was apparent that her aunt regarded her as a sort of “child prodigy”, being talented in singing, dancing and acting, as well as for a general love of music and arts. This turned a few viewers away from her, who began to view Clarisse as pretentious. But soon they’d have far more reasons to question her than they had before.On an undisclosed date, Madame Musicmouth released a video simply titled “Masks”. It was a fifteen minute long video of Clarisse showcasing her collection of Venetian-style masquerade masks and go in depth about their design and meaning, though one mask in particular she would pass over without a full description, only referring to it as “a Venetian blue crescent moon mask” without further elaborating on it as she did with the others.In future videos, viewers began to notice this mask making more of an appearance in the background of her videos. It seemed at the same time the content of these videos took on a much darker a
