[23] [24]

Internet career

2006–2017: Early years and content evolution

White started making YouTube videos in 2006, when he most often uploaded videos discussing anime, as well as AMVs and GMVs to his old channels. [25] He created his penguinz0 YouTube channel on May 7, 2007. [26] During this time, he streamed live on Justin.tv from late 2009 to early 2010. [27]

In 2013, White was cited by Tubefilter as panning YouTube's new comment system, which required a Google+ account to leave comments on videos. [28] In early 2015, White began speaking about various topics, including internet drama. He drew attention from media outlets for his commentary videos, [29] which were often of discourse about online platforms and considerably critical of YouTube's policies. [30] [31] In December 2016, White began co-hosting The Official Podcast with fellow Internet personalities Jackson Clarke, Andrew Wagenheim and Kaya Orsan. [32]

Media outlets sparsely referred to White's gameplay videos; his 2015 video on Ark: Survival Evolved was referenced by The Daily Star . [33] The Daily Dot wrote that White is known for his "sardonic commentary." [34] In February 2016, The Guardian included his video reaction to the Fine Brothers' React World controversy in their coverage of the situation. [35] Kotaku referred to White's 2017 video demonstrating character customization in Mass Effect: Andromeda . [36]

2018–present: Twitch livestreaming and continued growth

White has continued to make content discussing events on online platforms and their communities. [37] In January 2018, White addressed YouTube, which removed his video discussing Logan Paul's suicide forest controversy. [38] By March 2018, White's YouTube channel had two million subscribers. [39] In May, White's video featuring a pit of 5,400 balls, which he made for his husky Tetra, went viral; the Press Association interviewed him about the video and media outlets reported it. [40] [41] [42] In 2018, White began livestreaming on Twitch. In March 2020; due to COVID-19 lockdown measures, he co-hosted an online Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament [43] on his Twitch channel with fellow YouTuber Alpharad. [44] [45]

In late 2020, White's popularity grew due to his Twitch streams about chess and Among Us (during its 2020 popularity spike) with popular streamers such as Sykkuno, Pokimane, Nigahiga, Valkyrae, Trainwreckstv, and Disguised Toast. [46] [47] In June, White participated in the first PogChamps chess tournament, which Chess.com hosted. [48] [49] He won "one of the more anticipated games" in the tournament, beating fellow Twitch streamer xQc in six moves. [50] According to Dot Esports , the game was one of the five "biggest moments in streaming from 2020" and the clip of White's victory became one of the most-viewed in Twitch history, gaining over 1.9 million views by December 24, 2020. [51] White won the tournament's consolation bracket. [52] [53] In late October, White participated in U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Among Us live streams. [47] [54] [55]

In November, White signed a contract with BroadbandTV Corp (BBTV) to become a content partner with the company. [56] [57] Also in November, White spoke in a YouTube video about an increase in Twitch's DMCA crackdowns. In December, White participated in a "Pokémon Week" event on Twitch in which several creators hosting streams in which they opened boxes of Pokémon cards. [58] In January 2021, White began hosting a game show titled Hivemind with fellow streamer Ludwig Ahgren on Twitch. [59] [60]

On February 22, 2021, former YouTuber MaximilianMus deleted his YouTube channel after White labeled him "the worst YouTuber" in one of his videos. [61] White was critical of Mus for maliciously raiding Twitch channels [62] and claimed that Mus' audience had shared child pornography via Discord servers and his subreddit. In May of that year, Mus restored his channel and accused White of slander. [63] In October 2021, White participated in a Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl charity tournament hosted by Alpharad and Coney of Panda Global. [64] [65]

On July 31, 2024, White announced that he would be stepping away from The Official Podcast and The Red Thread "to scale back his time spent on the internet", amid controversy regarding Orsan and arguments with streamer Sneako. [66] On September 21, [67] [68] he was called to testify on the sixth day of the trial of Mitchell v. Jobst, a defamation lawsuit by Billy Mitchell against Karl Jobst for video essays covering allegations of Mitchell cheating his world records in Donkey Kong (1981) and Pac-Man (1980), of which White also voiced his belief in. [69] [70] [71] White's January 2024 video on Mitchell, "He's A Cheater" — in which White started by "giving an apology" to Mitchell by farting into his microphone before reiterating certainty that Mitchell cheated [71] — was presented into evidence to illustrate a “grapevine effect” of Jobst's videos on other YouTubers and their audience. [68] [72] [73]

Other ventures

In 2019, White and Troy McKubre of the band Solstate started a musical duo named the Gentle Men. The duo started producing music with a string of singles released that same year. [74] [75] The Gentle Men released their debut album, The Evolution of Tears, in 2021, and a self-titled EP in 2023. In 2019, White co-founded Human Media Group, an American multi-channel network, with his friend Matt Philips. [56] In July 2021, White announced the launch of a graphic novel series titled GODSLAP, which he wrote with author Stephanie Phillips and artist Ricardo Jaime, and was published by Meatier Productions. [76] White expressed interest in the expansion of the series beyond comics, and hinted at an animated adaptation that was being produced. [77] [76]

In August 2021, White announced a new esports organization named Moist Esports. [78] [79] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player Kolawole "Kola" Aideyan became the first player to join, [80] [81] and he won a tournament under the name "Moist Kola". [79] [82] [83] On August 8, 2022, gaming organization One True King, along with White, announced the founding of technology company Starforge Systems, which focuses on building computers. [84] [85] The company was quickly met with backlash due to the high prices of their products, and shortly thereafter they decreased their prices by $100. [86] Also in August 2022, White and two other popular YouTube personalities, Gina "Gibi ASMR" Klein and Tyler "Jimmy Here" Collins, formed their own talent agency, Mana Talent Group, focused on online creators.
