―Kavos' outro |
Pierce Alexander Kavanagh (born: August 19, 1997YouTuber who does commentary discussion videos critiquing famous people and large YouTube channels.
), better known online as Kavos, is an EnglishPersonal Life[]
He was born in England and has a brother named Connor. He attended the University of Essex as his channel started to grow. He graduated with a Masters in Business in June 2018.
YouTube Career[]
His videos have managed to get attention from YouTubers such as Keemstar, Jake Paul, Logan Paul, SSSniperWolf, Tanner Fox, RiceGum, and Lil Tay, the latter of which he has feuded with before they settled their differences. His most popular video is "Logan Paul Just Ended His Career" which was uploaded around the time of the Logan Paul "Suicide Forest" controversy. It is the second most viewed video regarding the controversy, after Logan's apology video.
The video has been "age-restricted" by YouTube, (with his subscribers and suggested videos not shown on the video's page) making it his only age-restricted video. Age-restricted videos are very rare on YouTube and many believe that Kavos' video will get taken down by YouTube soon, but this hasn't happened. The day he uploaded it, his channel's daily view and subscriber gain increased by 40% each, gaining over 10,000,000 views and over 75,000 subscribers that day. His channel's subscriber growth that day was one of the most a YouTube channel has ever gotten in a 24-hour period. He went from around 500,000 subscribers to near 700,000 in that time.
The first ever feud for Kavos was with YouTuber MessyBugatti. He had been doing "roast" videos for a while before he was the first one to respond. Since then, many YouTubers have made videos exposing Kavos such as iNabber, ImAllexx, BluesDank and ItzGottiSP. Kavos continues to grow his viewership and fanbase, probably because he's always been quite honest about himself and transparent with his audience.
As of the end of 2018, he has been making a series named WHO, short for "What's Happening Online": this is a series where he talks about what has gone down recently on the internet, primarily on YouTube.
Controversies[]

Racist Tweets[]
Shortly after KSI used the racist word "P*ki" in the Sidemen countdown video, Kavos would react on Twitter, saying "Fans are angry at KSI for saying "P*ki" in a sidemen video for "points" Don’t think there’s any excuse to be saying that at all". Many of Sidemen fans would call Kavos a hypocrite as they found some of his old tweets, with one explain being him using the phrase "Allahu Akbar" in a joking way.[1] Kavos would call these people out by "You are comparing “Allahu Akbar” to the n word? You are a moron. Do you know what Allahu Akbar means?". Which people didn't believe as the video has been taken down.[2]

Kavos has been some videos and tweets saying the Homophobic slur "f****t" which some videos have been deleted from his channel.[3][4]
