The Four Aces

The Four Aces Site The Four Aces has been a rollercoaster of a channel, and even though you may not know what this channel is, it's a good example for what not to do as a youtuber.

The Four aces was founded on June 29th, 2017 by a kid named Lochlan McElroy. The channel was originally named lgamer27.Despite the name, he originally made prank videos, such as prank time #1 and #2. He even made a video about nerf war before making his first and only gaming video named "Largos and Pods (Lgamer)". After that, Lgamer uploaded a video about his dog named "Violet the puppy bear". This would be the last video from lgamer27.

Lochlan decided to rename his channel to The Five Aces, where he and 4 other anonymous friends grouped together and decided to make magic, a passion that Lochlan enjoys. The first video he makes is Techno music mix #1, a video with royalty free music, and thats about it. After that, Lochlan uploaded a livestream named "How to get EXTRA CANDY on halloween". Around this time, he realizes that about a year into this channel, hes not seeing that much improvement,other than a few dozen views and a couple subscribers. So he decides to buy subscribers and views. He bought about 5-6k views for techno music mix #1 and 1k subscribers. It was only then that they started to film a magic video, but it took about 3 months to actually upload it for "reasons". It was also around this point that one of the anonymous friends left the group for "not being paid" and "Lochlans inability to do anything". The five aces inevitably became the Four Aces.

on November 23rd, 2018, The Four aces Uploaded their first and only videoabout magic, called "The Four Aces Season 1 Episode 1: This kid is doing AMAZING street magic." It didn't ever get a sequal. However, the last videos ever uploaded onto the channel was "Techno Music mix #2", which was just another royalty free music  over a black background.

After about a year, the three other anonymous friends left the channel as well, for many reasons. Not getting paid at all, poor treatment, no privacy, and so on and so forth. The channel hasnt uploaded since March 3rd, 2019.
