The Salt Factory

The Salt Factory (born April 8, 1992[age 27]), is an American born Youtuber and reviewer whose videos mainly derive from evaluating video games such as Oblivion and other popular games. His commentary style and distinct voice has pulled in more than 100,000 subscribers as of 2020 and he still continues to grow. He continues to make videos evaluating games he enjoys or once enjoyed. Salt lacks an upload schedule, but does stream on Twitch between videos.

Career
Salt's career launched nearly the day after the release of What if Overwatch was a Turn-Based RPG? on June 18, 2017. After this video the channel gained nearly 7,000 subscribers, and left Salt at a halt with little to no idea where he wanted his content to go next. What Salt did know was that he did not want to make a "what if" series, and instead continued to create videos focused on humorous Overwatch gameplay with his friends. These videos are no longer listed on the channel, because he believes the videos are no longer relevant with the content he makes currently.

Around five months after the release of the Overwatch video, Salt realized what he wanted to do with his content and made his first serious critique: Against the Grain: Why I didn't enjoy Hollow Knight. Though not his most critically acclaimed videoit became the true start of the content The Salt Factory produces today.

Around six months after the Hollow Knight video's upload, Salt released his most viewed video to date: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapSJjo-XmQ&t=9s Was Oblivion as good as I remember? - My analysis after an 8 year hiatus]. The video started slowly, not gaining traction until the release of  Please Don't Buy Overkill's The Walking Dead. The Oblivion video became the prime example of Salt's work and brought many new viewers who wanted more content like it.. This encouragement gave birth to Salt's evaluations of other popular Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout 3.
