Primink is a YouTuber who is known for his chatty tea channel videos.
History
Primink's first video was uploaded on April 8th, 2018, titled "Man PRETENDS to be a Cop on Youtube (Patty Mayo Fake)". It was on internet personality, Patty Mayo who allegedly was pretending to be a bounty hunter. Primink received backlash from fans of Patty Mayo, in the form of dislikes and hate comments. In his "STALKING HATE COMMENTERS CHANNELS BECAUSE I'M PSYCHOTIC" video, he discusses these comments.
The original cartoon avatar that Primink identified with was a young teenage boy with blonde hair, that had bulging black eyes and wore a blue t-shirt which says "I wanna die." The avatar was transitioned over to an anime cartoon likeness between 2022 through 2023. The cartoon appears on his second channel YouTube "PRIM." A number of avid fans believe Primink is trying to build a new channel to speak about topics close to his own heart, such as mental health.
In August 2023, Primink changed his profile picture to a black circle, causing fans to speculate that a new video was on its way. Primink Discord Server users were alerted of a new video upload going live that day in August, 2023. Several server admins, including Trevor Lindenmuth[1], repeatedly spammed fans with notifications, causing some people to become upset and annoyed. In January, 2024 Lindenmuth invited people onto a Minecraft Server to let them know Primink was coming back, with new videos. So far nothing has been seen, but people have shown their excitement.
The Primink channel aired a new video[2] about Marina Joyce on September 4, 2023. Since the cover is identical to other videos that have appeared on Primink's channel, internet fans speculated that this was an old video. His young fans, who missed seeing uploads from Primink, have responded enthusiastically to the video since it aired.
Fans are confused that his YouTube channel banner depicts the face of the person for whom he released a video on. In the TikTok and Tumblr communities, there has been much discussion about why Primink chose this person's face as his banner and why he released a video that most believe is three years old. It should be noted that he has changed his profile photo back to his old cartoon character with blonde hair.

He continued this mass privating on September 11, 2023, when another 18 videos were taken down, making it an additional 10,508,400 views lost. Fans particularly have noticed that one of the more popular videos privated was on the Unicole Unicron Cult called "Exploring The Unicorn Cult | Aliens, Unicorns, and Magic - Unicult." Social media sleuths noticed the massive purge via Primink's Social Blade[3] stats, and have been comparing what was taken down via the Wayback Archive.[4] Several Primink fans were disappointed since they find his videos comforting.
