Matthew, better known online as mattwo7 (also known as Mattwo's Storywriter or simply Mattwo), is an American YouTuber who makes reviews and machinima using programs such as Garry's Mod, Source Filmmaker and MikuMikuDance as well as various other videos such as gameplay, rants and music videos.

As a result of his less original content and non-content being more popular than his more original content, he shoved most of the non-content and less original content onto side channels including but not limited to Mattwo's Random Non-Content, Mattwo's Random Gameplay and Mattwo's Random MVs.

About

Mattwo was originally a character named after Mewtwo for a Pokemon roleplay on either an AOL forum or MSN or Yahoo groups but was later reimagined into the version currently used in Mattwo7's content, albeit with a bit of fleshing out, power limitations and other revisions that happened over time. The current incarnation originally debuted on the Tumblr AskMat2 and later the concept of Mattwo's nexus universe, which is where all of Mattwo7's content takes place, was created.

Mattwo's Random Reviews

Mattwo7's one mainstay video series while attempts others have mostly fallen by the wayside is his video review show which has no specific theme. It stars Mattwo and features and cameos characters from Mattwo's nexus universe and occasionally the Reviewaverse and Brony analysis "rift". In spite of the name, some themes such as superheroes, anime, My Little Pony and Doctor Who appear more than others and he has yet to do a full, proper review on any video game, having only done an overview of Phantasy Star Online 1 Episode 1 and short review of The Stanley Parable.

Mattwo's Random Non-Content

Mattwo's Random Non-Content is a side channel which as the name suggests, is dedicated to videos with lower production values, spun off due to the fact that the non-content was too popular on the Mattwo7 main channel and he desired to focus instead on more original content on the main channel. This channel was then spun off into further dedicated channels to reach appropriate audiences.

Mattwo's Random MVs

Mattwo's Random MVs originally started as a spin-off of Mattwo's Random Non-Content, consisting primarily of television and video game opening mashups, but has since been changed to a channel dedicated more towards actual AMV style music videos.

Mattwo's Random Ramblings

Mattwo's Random Ramblings started off as a spin-off of Mattwo's Random Non-Content for rant and rambling videos, though Mattwo7 decided that he will start to use more editing in future videos.

Mattwo's Random Gameplay

Mattwo's Random Gameplay is a spin-off of Mattwo's Random Non-Content that contains gameplay videos, with or without commentary. It also contains some old Twitch VODs but Mattwo later quit Twitch and streamed a couple times on YouTube Gaming instead and eventually also got a budget VTuber avatar (which was originally intended to be a new character named Mattilda but Mattilda wound up mostly just being an avatar) using VRoid Studio and Virtual Studio. He planned to stream more regularly starting with Monster Hunter Rise but nothing came of it.

Mattwo's Random Reactions

Mattwo's Random Reactions is a spin-off of Mattwo7's main channel, which is currently primarily dedicated to his submissions to the collaborative channel, Reactions of Harmony. Both channels have become inactive however.

Controversy

Attempt at using "YouTube alternatives"

Previously, he realized how little most Web 2.0 websites actually cared about their users, for a time he stopped uploading to them and moved to Zippcast and was been a strong advocate for Zippcast. However, due to the drama related to Zippcast's shutdown, he returned to YouTube and grew cynical towards other video sharing sites, now only ever using them as a backup, having joined and left Vidme and Vidlii.

Since then, he ultimately favored Internet Archive as a backup and later started using the automatic mirroring for his main channel on Bitchute (which he has been historically critical of due to the conservative radical extremists on the front page and the owner lying about WebTorrent being decentralized when it relies on a tracker and primary seed, both hosted on the Bitchute servers and still refuses to otherwise waste his time with).

He has also been excessively critical of Vlare every time he sees it being brought up favorably due to his distaste towards Vlare's owner Jan for his mishandling of an abusive Vidlii moderator named Alisson who was removed from the Vidlii staff only to be rewarded for his misconduct with a mirror of Vidlii instead of being fired.
