Who was totally in the right about something but other controversies made them lose in the public's eye?

I was watching this video on Idubbbz's rise and fall and it got me thinking about the Content Cop he made against H3H3.

As far as I could see, the Content Cop and Content Deputy generally hammered home accurately how much of a royal piece of shit Ethan Klein and his former IDF wife have become. It really should have been an easy slam dunk as H3H3 is so easily provably wrong on so many issues regarding Israel and the genocide in Palestine, as well as the countless controversies Ethan Kelin and Hila Klein have publicly gone through.

However, it appears that Idubbbz totally lost this fued, not because of his arguments against H3H3, but because those were totally overshadowed by his own extraordinary controversies and greed, as well as seemingly using the genocide in Palestine as a backdrop to his fued with H3H3, which feels very exploitative.

It got me wondering, what are some other instances of public figures who were totally in the right on an issue, but lost due to other, tangentially or totally unrelated issues?

Josip Tito was ultimately a failure

I often see a lot of praise of Tito for successfully keeping the various ethnic groups of Yugoslavia at peace throughout his tenure, and thus keeping Yugoslavia together.

However, isn't one's success greatly determined by their legacy, and what they left behind when they died?

The country blew up, fractured into genocidal conflict and lost some the best parts of their socialism.

It seems more that Tito didn't actually fix Yugoslavia's underlying ethnic conflicts, but rather successfully swept them under the rug during his tenor.
