>>12912090He made cool minecraft videos which got 10's of millions of views.
The most popular videos were his minecraft manhunt, where he tries to complete the game while his friends try and kill him. The videos are genuinely entertaining, and you should watch them even though they are probably staged.
He has genuine skill in the game, and is probably the best in the world at parkour, and one of the best in PvP although Technoblade beats him. He wins competitions in parkour and sets records, so he has some genuine talent.
The issue is when he was speedrunning minecraft, people found out he was adjusting his droprates to get better luck. Pic related, I was learning to use R while this was happening and made this. The worst part is how he refused to admit he was cheating, and paid someone to write up a big "scientific" article to explain why his drop rates were possible (they weren't). And then made a video to convince everybody of this. Very dishonest, just like how he was probably staging his minecraft manhunt videos.
That's the last I've heard of him. This new scandal is something new for me. But it sounds like he's actually a bit of an edgelord.
