Atheno

Beginnings
Atheno is a YouTube channel run by a person named 'Matt'. When Matt originally created the channel on July 27, 2016, the name of the channel was 'The Legendary Sportsman'. At the time, he posted trickshot compilations and sports-related stuff. He then posted some comedic unboxings and videos with some comedic values. Eventually, Atheno took a three-month break from YouTube as he was griefing the loss of his mother (more about that later in this article). He then returned from that break and switched over to gaming videos/gaming comedy. Eventually, he changed his channel name from 'The Legendary Sportsman' to 'The Legendary Man'. Once this happened, the YouTube grind started.

The Rise
On March 4, 2018, 'The Legendary Sportsman' came back from his three-month break and posted his first video after his break, Eventually, he felt that the name 'The Legendary Sportsman' didn't fit him, so he changed it to 'The Legendary Man'. He then started to post very frequently on the game that was then trending 'Fortnite'. At that time, Matt was posting videos on Fortnite and was really enjoying it. Then comes along early 2019. Sometime in early 2019, Matt changed his channel name again to 'Atheno'. The reasoning behind this was that he thought that the name 'The Legendary Man' was too long and cringy. He also hoped that by having a shorter name that is a lot easier to remember, and that he could gain more subscribers. Atheno kept on posting comedic Fortnite videos until late 2019. At this time, Matt was sick of making gaming videos because he felt as if they were all the same and not that funny. He also was starting to have some interest in hidden camera pranks and comedic vlogs. Eventually, He stopped making gaming videos and started comedic videos. One of those videos was called 'How to Effectively Raid Area 51' (Go watch that, and you could see an example of this). So, around this time, Atheno was approaching the 1,000 subscriber milestone. At this time, he realized that a few years prior, he promised that at 1,000 subscribers, he would shave his head. Atheno then live-streamed his live reaction to receiving 1,000 subscribers
