Essayharper's channel started as a second channel named "Mario 2" in which smaller videos would be uploaded. She created low-effort videos, her first few just being playing around in Chrome Music Lab. She decided to convert the channel into her main channel, rebranding it to "mariodadum" eventually shortened to "mariodd". She would later find out this was the best decision she could've made.
On June 9, 2022, she would upload "what if the owl house was a cartoon", which later private in 2023. This video would reach over 16,000 views due to its posting on Reddit and was simply a clip of The Owl House with a cartoon filter. Harper would continue to make, in her words, "low effort" Owl House memes. The next big video she would upload would be "censorship be like", an AI-assisted comedic censorship of the Lumity kiss scene from The Owl House. This video would reach over 500,000 views. The next popular video would be one dug up from February, "gumball makes penny stop laughing," a 3-second unedited clip from The Amazing World of Gumball. She essentially started a meme, with captions and edits of the video being produced, before being unlisted. The video would reach over 1,000,000 views.
In 2023, she decided to unlist and private a large chunk of her videos to hopefully be accepted into the YouTube Partner Program in the future. In 2023, she would decide to shift the focus of her channel to Animatics and skits, rebranding it to "Harper", later shifting it to video essays later that year, rebranding it to "Essayharper." She has not found the same level of success in her current style of content as she previously had, but her channel is far from dead. Nowadays, she uploads semi-actively, 1 video per about 1-6 months, uploading each video at 1:20 PM EST time(6:20 PM GMT time).
