Collsteve8

Collsteve8 is an American YouTube animator.
==History== 
Collsteve8 started his YouTube channel on September 30, 2015. However, on March 23, 2018, he began to upload videos.
Throughout this span, Collsteve8 primarily focused on uploading reaction videos featuring Roblox musicians and content creators such as Buur and Bengo. For over five years, Collsteve8's content has centered around Roblox, which consists of reaction videos to create original and unique content. 
As he gradually drifted away from reaction videos, Collsteve8 started various series, such as "Let's Listen," where Collsteve8 and the audience listened to a song. Another series, "Steve Playz," is centered around Collsteve8's Roblox adventures, ranging from battles with other users to playing other games in Roblox.
==Animation==
Starting around mid-2020, Collsteve8 transitioned from creating Roblox content to focusing on animation. On August 26, 2020, Collsteve8 uploaded their first animation video, created using the well-known mobile animation tool, Flipaclip. The video was titled "My First Console And How I Broke It."
He would then continue on to upload more story-time animations throughout 2020, and a few shorts thrown in here and there. The videos following the first video include "Comics", "The time I (basically) Fainted" and the video Collsteve8 isn't the most proud of being "My Trip to California." As add-ons a few holiday specials which are now private. 
== The Peak ==
After the "My Trip to California." video was released, Collsteve8 had gained over 100 subscribers since starting his animation journey. This is the fastest he has ever grown in channel history. That was until the release of the original TikTok (Now deleted) and YouTube short for Collsteve8's second channel "Chug Jug With You." Based off the the parody of the original song "American Boy," "Chug Jug With You" by "Leviathan" absolutely blew up Collsteve8's second YouTube channel eventually passing the main Collsteve8 channel in subscribers just a few months later. 
The second Collsteve8 channel is now sitting at 3.28k subscribers and the YouTube short sitting at nearly 588k views. (as of 8/26/24). the Collsteve8 TikKok blew up gaining up to 5k followers and the Part 2 did not as well but pretty decent. Collsteve8 decided to upload a version of both parts onto the main channel now sitting at 1k views. (as of 8/26/24) Collsteve8's video got so big the video made it on the official Know Your Meme website for the meme. 
== The Disappearance & End of Collsteve8 ==
After the success of Chug Jug With You going into 2021, Collsteve8 would upload what would now be known as his last story-time animation a few months later on June 12, 2021 being "Things that annoy me." The video surprisingly ended up performing very well with fans expecting only more videos, bigger growth, and better videos coming their way. They didn't know it would be the last story-time posted on the channel. After the video was posted Collsteve8 would reach the 400 subscriber milestone being the official peak growth in channel history.
From June 2021-April 2023, there were barely any updates or new things coming from Collsteve8. He said that he wanted to come back to YouTube, but lost motivation in attempts to return. Leading to those two years the only new things from the YouTuber would three YouTube shorts and a few changes to the channel like profile picture and banner change and one of the biggest changes is private all of the past Roblox videos and also the holiday specials only leaving nine videos and five shorts on the channel all being from the "Animation" era. 
After the final YouTube short "POV: Every Youtuber on April Fools Day" released on April 1, 2023, the channel was left completely abandoned. Until summer 2024 where we got one final update to the channel which Collsteve8 had updated the thumbnails to all of the story-time animation videos on the channel. This boosted viewership very slightly but thanks to the big success of "Chug Jug With You," Collsteve8 now (as of 8/26/24) sits at the milestone of 450 subscribers. Impressive how he was able to gain 50 subscribers as a small inactive channel that hasn't posted anything in over a year. As of right now it is safe to say that the we won't be seeing any new Collsteve8 content in the near future.
