I was a fan for a few years, but I stopped watching in recent times, the main reason being that the content they produce has gone downhill.
There is also the controversy surrounding them, although I must admit that I don’t know all the details.

I used to watch Nostalgia Critic all the time before I graduated high school. I lost interest around the time I started college though and I refuse to even visit the site after the Change the Channel document went public. All of Doug Walker and Brad Jones’ content has been ruined for me honestly. If you do want to find out more, you can pretty easily find a link to the Change the Channel doc with a quick search on Google, but Quinton Reviews has a pretty good summary of what happened in his Fallen Titans episode on YouTube.
Anyways, I still follow some of the other content producers though like Lindsey Ellis (before she was unfairly harassed off the Internet), Todd in the Shadows, Maven the Eventide, and Dom Noble. I’ll still watch a few Linkara videos every once in a while too. There was also this content creator named Nash who I started watching back when I first got into Doctor Who since he had some videos about the subject. I think he’s focusing more on his podcast/livestream content, but I do follow him on social media for his political commentary. Honestly I think they’re all doing much better without Channel Awesome.

I used to like the Nostalgia Critic ok when I was youunger, but whilst I didn't really 'follow' what was happening with it, the 'Change The Channel' thing did pretty much end any 'good will' I had for him, especially as the schreeching noise he makes whenever something annoys him bugs the sh*t out of me. I do sometimes check his channel to see what films he's reviewed, but I don't think I ever really watch them.
I can't remember what role he played in the proceedings, but I do continue to watch Brad Jones' Cinema Snob videos, as I like his style of humor.
I liked the Nostalgia Chick/Linsay Ellis but dropped off after a while.
As a whole, I don't think I really watched anyone else of the group, but I'm subscribed to Linkara & Dom Noble, and do watch the occasional video from them, if I'm interested in whatever it is they're talking about.

I did occasionally back in the day. But now I find all their contributions rather puerile and very much a relic of a different time of the Internet.
