Actually, Google probably isn't your friend, evil data mining bastard, but it will answer the question without another epic cyclical thread on here.

The problem was...Rob responded to it, in possibly the dumbest and most ill-advised video he's ever done (and yes, I'm including the Korg Miku one in that). For somebody who's always said, "Don't feed the trolls", he should've known that the next day, the headlines were all "Rob Chapman bullies small YouTuber!".
None of that was related to him disappearing from the Andertons channel for a while, though - the timing was a bit out.
The daftest thing about the whole episode is that there are things that really happened which Rob would probably get utterly excoriated for if it ever got out, or at least somebody wrote it all down, but none of those things made it into the hit-piece video.
Are you sitting comfybold, two-square on your botty?
CONDENSED VERSION
RC established and monetised a YouTube following, by providing on-line guitar tuition, tailored to the requests of his audience.
Some other guitarists convinced themselves that they could do just as good a job and, hence, that they should be (at least) as "famous" and well remunerated as Chapman.
When this fantasy failed to become reality, the also-rans held Chapman to blame.
The only person who can properly explain why Chapman disappeared from Anderton's TV videos is Lee Anderton. I reckon that he'll keep schtum.
Other opinions are available.
I already hear muttering and pitch forks.
I respect the work that RC put in to achieve his YouTube success. I can see why young learners took to him. Making stunt guitar parts look effortless can convey confidence to students. On the other hand, it can come across as smug.
Which then seemed to bring forth a host of others who got on the wrong side of Chapman some seemed to have legitimate claims to his bully and poor business ethics but ultimately it was just an internet thing no real people were harmed just influencers some Trolls and a man who set himself up as the onetime people’s champion by telling people he was building the guitars you voted for.
the end
OK, there was one incident, but that's about 6 or 7 years in the past at this point, and it's been sorted out.
