Anyway, I digress, i believe he won't show his face, especially now since he has a good amount of subs, and has "made it" in the youtube world without showing his face, and now it has become part of him, as the youtuber that never reveals his face, however, if he hadn't made it without showing his face, i incontrovertibly believe he would have eventually shown his face to keep up with what people like in attempts to gain fans, unless of course he really is horrendously unattractive, than he probably wouldn't have shown his face regardless.

Also theres many others on youtube that didn't show their face for many years in the beginning, but eventually did because they wanted to go to conventions and such, & record it, so once they showed themselves, and realized it wasn't so bad, that their fans love them regardless, they now show themselves shamelessly. Actually, no. There's a very real possibility that it could cause him problems. Hell, look at Markiplier. He's had to move twice because people found out where he lived and would show up at his door. The same thing happened to Jacksepticeye. You have to realize that a big part of his fanbase is teenage girls, and a lot of them obssess to the point that it's slightly frightening, so it's actually pretty good to assume there would be a number of them willing to find out where he lives and show up.
