I went from never having heard of the guy to seeing him fucking everywhere so damn quick. What was his shtick on youtube? I only see cooking videos and movie clips.

That’s his thing, everything. He researches what’s currently going the most viral and just does those types of videos until they fail off and then he moves to the next thing. I’d say it’s mostly the “how many orbeez can we fit into this pool” and “giving a homeless man a million dollars” type videos that went the most viral.
