Augustus Marks (born: June 29, 2001), better known online as AugieRFC, is an American streamer, commentator and YouTuber whose channel is focused on drama between different types of social media influencers. He's best known for his flagship series 'RFC After Hours', and has connections to DramaAlert, Sky Does Everything, Nicholas DeOrio, and Sive. Augie had a running podcast with co-host Bowblax.
History[]
The AugieRFC (originally named AugieRFCtv) YouTube channel was created on August 23rd with no uploads for around 3 weeks until the first upload 'hello'. This first video detailed why he had created it in the first place and the three main things he would do with it.
The AugieRFCtv channel was created for the 'hardcore of the hardcore' fans of the original channel Red Fox Comms to subscribe to. At the time, Augie was a small Twitch streamer playing Fortnite and doing IRL to an average of 3 viewers, as he references in multiple future livestreams. Red Fox Comms' views were dropping and subscribers had been stagnant for 2 weeks. He also tells the three main reasons of the channel's creation at the time.
- Rambling on topics that wouldn't fit with the main channel audience of Red Fox Comms
- Stream VODs for Twitch
- Emergency channel in case of a channel termination/Twitch ban
The first episode of RFC After Hours was released on January 28, 2019, with the final episode being released on September 19th, 2024.
On September 8th, 2023, Augie would do his first After Hours stream in six months, Stating that he would "Be back again very very soon".[1] However, he completely ceased online activity with no explanation until September 19th, 2024 where he would return. Fellow YouTuber Nicholas DeOrio stated prior to Augie's return that he is finished with YouTube,[2] But due to conflicting statements made by other creators and Augie's close friends, as well as the fact that Augie would eventually return, this is most likely not true.
On September 19th 2024, Augie would return to streaming after over a year of absence. He announced his return only a couple of hours earlier on Twitter [3] Posting a drawing of Nicholas DeOrio and RFC co-host Bowblax arguing with each other near a campfire, with a silhouette of Augie on the right side watching over. During the stream, he announced that it would be the final ever episode of "RFC After Hours", and that while he would still stream, he would not continue talking about random commentary community drama, similar to the stream's he would do on his 2nd channel, NeoAugie.
Most popular controversies he has talked about include the Technicals/ZeRo controversy in Q4 2021-Q1 2022[4], the Dream-John controversy in Q1 2021[5], and the H3H3-Keemstar controversy in Q2-Q3 2020[6].
Other Channels[]
On September 19th 2024, Augie would return to do one final "RFC After Hours" stream, where he would flex a silver play button for a channel that he worked on during his absence from the commentary community with his roommate and close friend Exate, known by his real name "Connor" by the community. Connor would voice over the videos, with Augie presumably editing and creating the visuals. This channel would be found to be named Paint Guy, which has amassed over 129k subscribers, being Augie and Connor's biggest channel that they own. The channel would usually have a title-format of "Every" the topic "Explained in" either 10, 12, 14 or 15 "Minutes". The editing was very simple, and used predominantly stock-images. The channel had no co-relation with the AugieRFC channel, or the RFC branding, with the Paint Guy fanbase being separated from the RFC fanbase, as nobody knew that Augie was behind the channel until he confirmed it on "RFC After Hours".
