He frequently collaborates with fellow Minecraft YouTubers Sapnap, BadBoyHalo, and Dream, and is part and co-founder of the Minecraft Dream SMP server along with other streamers and YouTubers.
George's first public video was uploaded on October 25, 2019 titled "Minecraft Endermen Destruction (Timelapse)".

Personal life
George Davidson was born on November 1, 1996 and grew up with a sister. He went to the University of Leeds and graduated with a degree in computer science. He is 5'9" (174 centimeters) tall[2] and is left-handed. He cannot drive as he does not own a driver's license.[3] He used to work as an office assistant.[4]
Colorblindness
On April 15, 2020, George confirmed on Twitter that he has severe protanopia (red-green colorblindness).[5] He bought colorblind glasses to help him distinguish red-green colors, and on September 9, 2020, he uploaded his reaction to him being able to differentiate color properly for the first time.[6]
Pets
George got a cat named Luca (April 26, 2019 - July 28, 2020 [aged 1]) in late October 2019.[7] The cat was nicknamed Pooper for pooing on George's bed.
On July 28, 2020, George revealed during a livestream (and later on Twitter) that he had noticed Luca was breathing strangely and so took him to the vet. Luca was then diagnosed with a rare and incurable disease and had to be put down.[8]
George got a Hungarian Vizsla in August 2020[9] and a new kitten in October 2020.[10]
MC Championship
MC Championship is a Minecraft Tournament for YouTubers and Streamers run by the Noxcrew, in which 10 teams of four compete in a series of 8 minigames decided by the participants. A point multiplier makes each game worth more as each round passes, incentivizing teams to vote for games they might be bad at early on in the event. In the end, the two teams with the most points face off in a round of ‘Dodgebolt’ to decide the winner of the tournament. This makes it possible for a team to win despite potentially having less points than the runner-up.

Controversies
Allegations of sexual assault
On March 9, 2024, Twitch streamer Caitibugzz went live to tell her story about how she was sexually assaulted by another, larger content creator.[12] In this livestream, she explained how she was at a party and was drunk, with the creator making sexual advances towards her unconsensually. Many were quick to point out that the creator she was referring to was George, to which he responded, confirming this information. In said tweet,[13] he stated he would be making a livestream addressing the allegations, denying the latter.[14]
On March 11, he went live on Twitch, addressing the allegations.[15] In said stream, he explained how he felt that Caiti "consented" to cuddling and touching on her waist (in spite of Caiti, who was drunk, not being able to give consent), and that he believed they were all over the legal drinking age, as some of her friends had bracelets stating they were over that age. The reactions to the livestream were mixed. Many were quick to point out that she couldn't consent as she was under alcoholism.
On the same day, Dream made a response on Reddit, where he would give further insight, stating that he mostly sided with George.[16] Many would also have mixed reactions to the statement.
Later in the evening, Caitibugzz would provide her statement, providing evidence that George was aware of the fact she was under the legal drinking age, while also responding to other parts of George's stream.[17]
On the next day, George would make a tweet stating his perspective changed, and that he was sorry, stating he did not have bad intentions.[18] Dream made a space a few hours later, stating George does not have bad intentions while crying, before ultimately ending the space. He deleted his Reddit post in light of the new information provided by Caiti. Sapnap also provided a statement, saying that while he fully supported Caiti, he would remain friends with George, saying that he is not a bad person but needed to take accountability.[19]
George released another response video on March 16, further addressing and attempting to debunk Caiti's points. The video received more positive responses from George's fans, with some believing that the situation was blown out of proportions and should have been handled privately.[20]

fun facts:
I came up with the name Sapnap, it’s meant to look like Pandas backwards and Sadnap was taken
I also came up with the name GeorgeNotFound because I was on a 404 Page Not Found while helping George with coming up with names
I’m now suing them both
