Alias

Alias, formerly known as Jacob Firestone, is a Slovenian gaming YouTuber who mainly uploads videos.
==History==
On October 12, 2011, Alias' YouTube channel was created. Three years and five months later, the account uploaded the first video on YouTube which was the gameplay of his level. He uploaded more videos of him beating easy to hard demons in Update 2.01. Each of these videos had at least 100 views each. He became a demon slayer, beating lots of easy, medium, and hard demons, now insane and extreme demons. Alias improved more and more in Update 2.1. He then made a series of beating challenges made for him. Alias made a series that started with a video called, "Stereo Madness but with 400,000 objects!" Then he made one for Deadlocked but with 500,000 objects, then Cataclysm with 600,000 objects, Fingerdash with 750,000 objects, Blast Processing with 800,000 objects, and so on and so on. Alias then made a joke video called, "Freddie Mercury Plays Geometry Dash," which became really popular and currently has over 600,000 views. He made a second part which did 1/3 as well as the first part. Alias has now made videos other than beating demons like "5 Ways to Play Each Gamemode," "XO but the Lyrics are Sorted in Alphabetical Order," "Misheard Lyrics in Geometry Dash Songs," and more. One day, he made a video that would be really popular, it was called, "Rick Astley is Gonna Play the Game (Geometry Dash)," which got a ton of views and now currently has over 1,000,000 views. Alias made a second part which has over 250,000 views. He still uploads on his channel at a random time. Alias currently has over 73,000 subscribers. He is also known to make random community posts like "Pickle," "cat," "Pee Wizard," and more.
==Integration==
Alias first began his Geometry Dash career by friend-adding two users recommended on his friend page on Steam, namely Theoryofdobby and Chillius Bower. After introducing him to the community, both suggested starting a YouTube career on the topic of Geometry Dash, claiming that way he'd get to know many back then renowned Geometry Dash users, such as GironDavid and Zobros. Alias' first video, posted on March 24th, 2015, was a showcase of one of his first levels, Dash World. Soon he'd pursue further success with hard level completions.
===Early grind===
Firstly, Alias grew as a player. Starting as a MacBook air user, he strived for back then top tier difficulty levels, such as Supersonic and Audio Excursion. Without getting much recognition despite climbing almost the very peaks of the game, he strived further and started going for even bigger achievements, he managed to surpass the back then hardest level in the game, Cataclysm, which was according to PlayStore the hardest achievement to complete in the game. Upon doing that he received a shoutout from another friend he had made along the path of his career, Surv, which gave his channel one of the biggest boosts in its history.
===The breakthrough===
Alias soon decided he'd switch from being a time to time level completion publisher to being a regular Geometry Dash uploader. It began on the 27th of July, 2016, when he received his new computer setup, including a higher refresh rate monitor, allowing him to complete harder levels and reach better achievements. Still following the path of a skilled player, he'd complete extreme demons in a matter of days, and sometimes even hours. The real breakthrough took place when he decided to become the first to complete an unchallenged level, Infernal Abyss, that had switched players meant to be the first to complete it 7 times. On the 21st of December, 2016, he became its first victor with over 12,000 attempts. The news about it spread quickly and soon he'd become a community figure, listed at the 8th world's best player. His level completing career kept growing exponentially until March 22, 2017, when he allegedly lost his skill upon reaching a record score on The Fearless, another level he was meant to be the first to complete.
===The decay===
Ever since then, Alias focused less on difficult level completions and switched his attention to making new friends and acquaintances in the community. However, most of his channel content was still completing easier levels and occasionally progress on harder levels. His final top tier difficulty level completion took place on August 19th, 2018. Since then, Alias slowly began transiting from being a player to becoming a content creator.
===The transit===
Once the channel reached 10,000 subscribers in October 2018, occupation with hard level completions was no longer a part of the channel. Alias began producing Geometry Dash related content, ranging from challenges to sneaking into other YouTubers' streams. The biggest fish caught was his "Lots of Objects" series which reached success in late 2018/early 2019 with 8 episodes released. His other success meeting series include Geometry Dash Experiments, Passing the Hardest Parts on All Top 100 Demons, 10 Ways to - Geometry Dash Edition, Geometry Dash on Fiverr and more. The channel attained 50k subscribers on the 22nd of March, 2020.
===Present day===
Through 2020 and 2021, Alias kept expanding his content further beyond Geometry Dash, occasionally producing videos related to osu!mania and Minecraft while still retaining Geometry Dash as the heart of his channel. Continuing his path towards 100k he's started taking on bigger and more impactful projects, among which are hosting a level with 250 different creators and completing all levels of certain difficulties.
