GouvHD (partially found privated videos of French YouTube channel; 2015-2020)
GouvHD's original profile picture
Status: Partially found
GouvHD is a French-Russian YouTuber who created a channel of the same name talking about marketed food products, why they are successful or unsuccessful, and doing some blind tests between similar food brands. Despite their acclaim, many of those videos have been deleted or privated.
Channel retool
Around 2020, he suddenly privated/deleted all his food-related videos on his channel, and repurposed it into a channel about Russia-related topics. While some fans welcomed the new theme, many were left confused and understandably frustrated why he removed the content that made him popular.
Later that year, GouvHD opened a new channel called Gouv720p (later retitled "GouvHD", while the original channel got renamed "PourquoiEnRussie" which means "WhyInRussia") where he slowly reuploaded some of his old food videos. However, some of them are still missing, and some that were already reuploaded have gotten privated.
When GouvHD himself adressed the question of why he didn't just create a new channel for his Russia videos, he brushed it off. The reason still remains a mystery.
In 2022, ironically, GouvHD privated almost all of his videos on his now-retitled "PourquoiEnRussie" channel, leaving only a series of videos telling the fall of the USSR. It is likely this decision was influenced by Russia invading Ukraine in February 2022. On a side note, GouvHD didn't communicate for many months after the war began, which led to many fans worry about his safety. However, he released a new video (now deleted but mirrored) where he talked about the war.
