The "where did he come from" is a good question and has been from the start, absolutely.
Early on though, he was putting all of his money into the next video, which got him bigger sponsors and more and more funds. So that part makes some amount of sense. Sponsorships will pay an ass load, which is actually kind of silly since I don't think any "influencer" has ever gotten me to buy a product outside of cross referencing reviews.
I think my iFixit toolkit is the only thing I've ever been sold on by a tuber in general, and that's because of GamersNexus and Louis Rossman specifically...and it took finding a kit at my local Micro Center when I was there for something else entirely to finally bite the bullet -- however I digress.
Important thing is, I remember knowing literally nothing about him one day, then seeing him plastered all over the next. It was almost as startling as the switch that was flipped on Reddit when Hillary stole her nomination.
