History[]
Growing up, Clark spent most of his teen years watching many different content creators and using their techniques to evolve his own. He created his current YouTube channel on November 24, 2013, and started uploading as of January 1, 2014. Many years later, on March 4, 2018, he made an announcement that he would be switching to Twitch over YouTube. He claims he prefers interacting live with his audience rather than through edited and uploaded content. Although as of 2021, some of his Twitch streams have been edited down and posted on his YouTube channel.
In early 2022, he would take an extended break from content creation following various mental and physical health problems. About one year later he would return to livestreaming, garnering significant channel growth and popularity on Twitch and TikTok respectively.
