## Career

Johnson's channel has many different commentaries and running jokes, such as "Zeffo Overlord of 1-2-3 Go", and how "comically large" his computer science degree is. His channel also serves content farms and their ability to game the YouTube algorithms, giving attention to their media content, that can be seen to encourage behavior, whether regarding animated story channels based on untrue accounts or unproductive, or even dangerous, life hacks, popularized by the 5-Minute Crafts and Bright Side channels, which are managed by TheSoul Publishing.

## Reputation

In August 2018, traffic to Johnson's channel increased when another YouTuber, called Cody Ko, uploaded a video about 5-Minute Crafts, a topic that Johnson had already spoken about. Ko indirectly helped Johnson gain more recognition.

Johnson was listed as one of _Forbes_ "30 under 30" list of influential people of 2021.

In May 2021, Johnson posted a video on Twitter captioned "what a normal and ultimate spaghetti hack!" The video had a woman pouring Prego sauce onto a kitchen counter. The tweet gained international recognition and Prego ended up on the trending page on Twitter. The video in the tweet was then taken down by the creator of the video a mere 2 days later.

## Ownership stake

In July 2021, Rhett and Link announced that their production company, Mythical Entertainment, had got an ownership stake in the umbrella company Johnson founded for his various revenue streams.
