David Lett[2] (born: January 5, 2000 ),[3] better known online as AstralSpiff or simply Spiff for short, is a Canadian YouTuber who uploads a wide variety of gaming videos. After uploading videos of him playing specific games, he has later on specialized in videos that are related to the Five Nights at Freddy's video game franchise.
History[]
Lett launched his YouTube channel on August 18th, 2020. He uploaded his first video, titled "What a strange location! Pt1- Someday you'll return", on September 9th, 2020. Many of his first videos focused no specific games, however usually focused on Little Nightmares 2, Sea of Thieves, and Alien Isolation.[citation needed]
On November 1st, 2021, Lett would upload a video titled "There's ALREADY a cheater in Poppy Playtime Speedrunning!", and although this video would start of with it's usual views, it would begin to pick up traction[4]. Soon after, this would cause him to focus on creating content catered to Poppy Playtime and speedrunning and eventually Five Nights at Freddy's.[citation needed]
On February 12th, 2023, Lett would upload his most popular video, "I beat EVERY FNAF GAME in ONE STREAM without breaks". He would then go on to post another three videos where he attempted to beat his time speedrunning through the Five Nights at Freddy's games.
Controversy[]
Poppy Woppy[]
Although these videos caused Lett to gain fame, this would start beef with a Poppy Playtime speedrunner named Poppy Woppy.
On October 31st, 2021, Poppy Woppy would upload a video called "Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 Any% Speedrun (4:15) WORLD RECORD". This same speedrun would be called out by Lett as it was revealed to have been cheated due to camera inconsistencies and video jump cuts, usually called splicing, as well as showing impossible skipping techniques.
Poppy would respond by uploading another speedrun aptly titled "Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 Any% Speedrun [3:54]", which was yet again a fabricated speedrun. Lett would respond to this second run a few days later.[5]
