== History ==
Bosh created his channel on 21 Jan 2011, originally naming it ‘SuperMore101’. He wouldn't upload his first video until July 21, 2015. The channel name was changed to 'Bosh's Meme Zone' somewhere around mid-2017. This name was changed once again to the current 'Bosh' as he felt the longer name was outdated."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=UgxajkNm4NlULNURtGV4AaABCQ" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024. Notably, his YouTube handle is 'BoshMind'.
As mentioned in his QnA, his name stems from the combination of Boshi and Fat Yoshi - or Yosh - which, when the 'i' is removed, merge into his avatar, Bosh. The avatar was made in Blender by downloading a model of Fat Yoshi, changing the colors and adding Boshi's features."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVRsawZnE1Y" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024.
On June 26, 2020, he partnered with Redbubble to create merchandise. The shop includes his avatar in different styles, all major characters from The Rift Series and the 'Bosh's Chaotic Static' design most commonly used on the Bosh Gaming channel."https://www.redbubble.com/people/TheRealBosh/shop" Redbubble. Retrieved 2 July 2024. The shop also features two examples of 3D orange text with a yellow to orange gradient, viewed from a low ~45° angle. One displays "This is true" and the other "Shebang!". Additionally, there are two E.T.-themed memes: one about E.T. "cracking open a cold one", and another referencing E.T. forgetting his drug dealer's number.
Blowing up in popularity with a nearly identical editing style, and a narrow subset of films - computer-animated features - quickly attracted a specific type of audience, which ultimately proved to be a curse in disguise. This audience had little to no interest in other types of content from Bosh, such as passion projects like The Rift Series."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=UgxH70srNiiHKCCqBOh4AaABCQ" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024. Hence, he was forced to make repetitive videos over the lifespan of his channel, which eventually became more and more dull to make. This resulted in burnout, with straying from his strict schedule of 7 videos a week being extremely abnormal, to a comparatively low two videos a week being considered high."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=UgwLVWqat88ifUNiVsd4AaABCQ" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=UgkxyyJImIbOA3Ta07L77WcwYGrA91YEIa9j" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024. Part of this slowdown was also to spend more time on each video, up to 10-12 hours on each one, improving the editing and making sure to incorporate a narrative in each video. The improvements, however, were not enough to satiate an audience that was growing up, slowly, views dwindled. As the channel was on life support, so was his mental health."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=Ugkx7IWc75KNRVceOZZd3quALSZs7zWxrh3H" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024. A week after he announced his resignation through a post, he uploaded a video to reach more people."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNiaw-9FH7U" YouTube. Retrieved 2 July 2024.
On 30 October 2023, he would upload a video titled "I 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 come back", implying he hasn't fully left YouTube and that this pause in content is in-fact a hiatus."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMnoR7FtNoI" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024.
=== Bosh N' Chill & Bosh Gaming ===
As the reality of the of his situation became clear, and the content got more stale to make, he asked his audience if they would engage in longer form gaming content. The poll showed overwhelming support for this idea."https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC69BNevLC1JBJeLovlbulQ/community?lb=UgwuLgxbBYXeH2o_6qV4AaABCQ" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024. There would be a total of five streams on the main channel, with the first one originally streamed on 24 July 2020. This first stream permanently scarred his channel, as the number of views on each regular video plummeted compared to before. Perhaps this is the reason why he only held five Bosh N' Chill streams on his main channel. After the first three streams, he took a 9 month pause and returned with another two streams of Minecraft in April 2021, which garnered even less views than the initial three streams. This showed that when the chips were down, his audience didn't actually want to see a 'YouTube Poop' personality play games and chill, proving the initial polls completely false - they weren't there for the person, rather the content. He decided to take another extended break from streaming after this."https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT909fOyL_twQ9bxQqyunNnh4TNcf6xxJ" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024.
On 6 January 2022 he decided to create another channel where he only uploaded Bosh N' Chill streams, Bosh Gaming."https://www.youtube.com/@boshgaming4819" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024. This channel was announced on 9 Jan 2022."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dHXI22OzLA" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024. Streams on this channel would hardly receive any views, even compared to the decreased views of the main channel."https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYzkXF9bZ9b4F3hUahew-6c2PqkmVxqDv" YouTube.

== Allegations ==
=== Bosh and MrMrPizza are the Same Person ===
This allegation was proven untrue, as MrMrPizza has been outed as a child groomer."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWEeaDQ6zXA" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024. Google Document no longer available."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBXR8XR-QmI" YouTube. Retrieved 3 July 2024. Google Document no longer available. 
MrMrPizza and Bosh met in a discord server and they became friends. On June 6, 2020, Bosh and MrMrPizza collaborated on a two part Toy Story edit on both of their channels. Bosh posted part one on his channel while MrMrPizza uploaded part two on his. Neither of these videos are public anymore. This collaboration exposed more people to MrMrPizza's channel. Because of this and their similar editing style, people began speculating that MrMrPizza and Bosh were one and then same, some even began harassing Bosh to make him confess."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yNkAkM9S7U&list=PLYQ4Y4Tq1y4b9uCq7Ua3l5jmf-KdfqKBA" YouTube.

The earliest this allegation was proved false was after they both starred in Bosh's QnA Livestream.
Unfortunately, even after this livestream, but before MrMrPizza was revealed as a child groomer, Bosh still had to deal with this allegation."https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxB_ZvZ7HdIjhwsQR14AaABCQ" YouTube. Retrieved 5 October 2021. Originally retrieved by Alxium.
