Riplo

Christopher "Chris" Mercado (born: ), better known online as Riplo, is an American Minecraft YouTuber who makes Minecraft documentaries.
== History ==
Riplo started his first YouTube channel on August 29, 2016 when he was 9 years old, under the name of Herotic07. His first video dates back to September 6, 2016. He went from 0 to 45 subscribers within 2 weeks of his channel's creation. He made his first hit video in December 2017. This video was called "PLAYING MINECRAFT AT 3AM". He played the whole video off as a joke, making it known that it was satire. The video garnished over 29K views in 3 weeks and shot him up to 345 subscribers. He continued growing at a steady pace, going from 345 subscribers to 671 in 6 months, and from that to the big 1,000. It was when he hit 1K when he announced he would be changing his name from Herotic07 to Riplo. He had another hit video titled "Hey, Did The Beat Go Off?" which got over 1M views. The video was a meme, a scene from the movie "Monster House" where the character "Chowder" hits himself in the face with a basketball, as he hits himself in the face with a basketball, we hear Chief Keef's song "Earned It". 
==Termination ==
Riplo's channel peaked at over 13K subscribers before eventually being hacked and terminated. Riplo's channel was hacked in December 2019, the people who hacked it spammed copyrighted content and nudity on his channel. This caught the attention of YouTube and thus his channel was terminated. It was given back to him a few weeks later by YouTube but was wiped of all uploads. He gave up and decided to restart. 
==The Comeback==
Riplo came back to YouTube on July 2020, ready to start fresh. After studying the algorithm and the way other YouTubers blew up, he decided to make it a goal to become one of the biggest names on YouTube. He gained 200 subscribers within a month of his channel's creation. Riplo continues to steadily grow on the platform, hitting 1K subscribers in Fbreuary 2021, and hitting 2K subscribers later that year in November.
