Any former FEB around?

Are you a former flat earth believer? Or do you know someone who was?
 
Only if so, please share what changed your or the person's mind.

I've known of only two and you can see the videos of both on YouTube and posts, some very recent of one:

When I said "It has happened" I'm did not mean to imply that I had anything to do with their "convincing themselves":

• one case was TigerDan925 on YouTube and TigerDan925 "convinced himself" from his attempts to make an "accurate flat-earth map".
  He couldn't get Antarctica to "fit", so looking closer he gave up on the flat altogether after posting many videos supporting the flat earth.
  Since then he has made a series starting with:
         Flat earth could be a big deception? Liars Scared. MAP SCAM exposed!!! TigerDan925 and then
        Flat Earth Deception Part 2. Exposing Myself & others. TigerDan925
  and received plenty of criticism from other flat-earthers for "betraying the cause".
  
  
• Another is cikljamas who is a member and current "debater" here. He convinced himself after some of his own careful measurements were enough for him to accept that the earth (water in a long long tube) really curved.
  I've no idea whether any debates here had anything to do with his change of opinion. Mind you he is still a geocentrists and we still have much the same debates but at least from the viewpoint of a spherical earth and that simplifies things a bit.
  
  His YouTube channel is odiupicku (AKA cikljamas).
  Until, as far as I can tell around Jul 8, 2017, he made numerous flat-earth videos but this video seems to be "where he came -out":
        THE FINAL WORD ON THE FLAT-EARTH ISSUE : FLAT EARTH IS A PSYOP DESIGNED TO CONCEAL GEOCENTRIC TRUTH! odiupicku after that video he commented:

  I was patient enough, but time has come to put cards on the table :
  1. The earth is 100 % stationary, but the earth isn't flat!
  2. 1A) There is mountain of evidence in favor of the stationary earth, but in the same time we (flat-earthers) are not able to address sanely following problems:
  <<etc, etc. >>

  And now he posts videos supporting a stationary Globe and still attacks NASA .
  He's made a series that are a "take-off" of Eric Dubay's 200 proofs, starting with ERIC DUMBAY'S 201st PROOF-make it viral or stay dumb, odiupicku, Published on Aug 18, 2017..
  
  I've no idea if any of the debates had any effect, who knows?
  

So, it does happen, but people have to "convince themselves". 

Fight The Flat Earth also interviewed 2 former flat earthers on his YouTube channel. But it seems YouTube flatearthers and forum flat earthers don't mix.

They don't seem to like each other too. As far as I can tell, each call the other Controlled Opposition.

I don't think Eric Dubay likes the Flat Earth Society! « on: Today at 06:40:39 PM » and he especially hates the UA explanation of gravity .

We don't refer to the youtubers as "controlled opposition", we hardly pay any attention to them. I think IFERS started calling us that because we don't let the Nazis post here, but I could be wrong about the origin. I know Eddie Bravo calls us controlled opposition.
