==YouTube History==
Stewen created TheSillyPotato on the 5th of January 2012, but he has created YouTube Poops before this date, and uploading them on his gaming channel Titowam. However, most of them have since been removed and Stewen has said that he doesn't have any of his old YouTube Poops on his computer, due to a harddrive failure in 2012.https://twitter.com/TheSillyTitowam/status/1624579965101527040https://twitter.com/TitowamYouTube/status/640026743328391168
His first major video was a start of a series called "TheSillyPotato Sucks At Pooping The Charts", where he makes YouTube Poops of songs that he enjoys. The series started during the summer of 2012 and has received 7 episodes. The series has been put on hold since late 2015.
In February 2013, Stewen created a new series, called "Poopfestivalen", which would be YouTube Poops of songs from Melodifestivalen, a Swedish song competition. This series continued until 2016, but has been discontinued due to copyright issues. The episodes are not available on YouTube anymore, but have been uploaded to his DailyMotion account.
On the 24th of February 2014, Stewen released a YouTube Poop of Frozen's song "Let It Go". This was very successful and remained his most famous video, until it was overtaken by his YouTube Poop of Charli XCX's song "Boom Clap" which reached over a million views roughly two years later.
In November 2015, Stewen released a new channel called TheSingingPotato, where he uploads his own covers of songs.
===Channel deletion===
During the afternoon on the 20th of June 2016, Stewen's main channel was permanently disabled due to receiving three coypright strikes. This meant that TheSillyPotato reached a final amount of 2,995 subscribers, and a total of 350 videos were deleted. Stewen responded to this incident by uploading the video "RIP TheSillyPotato", where he stated that he has "all the videos saved, and I will upload most of them on a video archive channel". He also created a new channel (with the same name) on the same day. He eventually reached 2,995 subscribers on February 12, 2023. https://twitter.com/TheSillyTitowam/status/1624579965101527040
==Collaborations==
Stewen has made several YouTube Poop collaborations with other creators. He created his very first collab announcement on the 5th of June 2012, where the participants could make YouTube Poops of any songs by the artist Jessie J. He considers this to be a failed project, due to there only being 3 people joining the collab after nearly 2 months.
Later, in December 2012, he started his first YouTube Poop Tennis with LGL39, which continued for 5 rounds, and Stewen ended up winning. Later, during 2013, LGL39 later wanted a rematch. It lasted for 6 rounds, and then Stewen forfeited.
On the 2nd of January 2013, Stewen announced that he was going to try making a new collab, but this time, it would be of Ellie Goulding songs. This was more successful than his last collab video, as 8 people sent in entries, and the video ended up being almost 20 minutes long.
In April 2013, TheSillyPotato sent a request to start a YouTube Poop Tennis with PenguinPoops, but it only went on for one round. A year later, in April 2014, PenguinPoops sent a re-match to Stewen, and this time it went on for 8 rounds.
Since the Ellie Goulding collab was a big success, Stewen announced another collab the 1st of September 2013, but this time of Marina & The Diamonds songs. This was not as popular as the Ellie Goulding collab, but still had several participants and was uploaded the 19th of October 2013. While waiting for entries, Stewen started another YouTube Poop Tennis with SuperDirectorGuy, which lasted for 3 rounds.
In July 2014, by request of PenguinPoops, Stewen created a collab project of Lily Allen. The video was uploaded on the 3rd of September 2014.
On the 16th of January 2015, Stewen announced a Nicki Minaj collab, mostly because TySketch created one several years prior, but didn't finish it. This was his most successful collab yet, with 12 participants. It was later uploaded in March 2015. 
In October 2015, Stewen hinted in his YouTube Poop of Troye Sivan's "Happy Little Pill" that a new collab was coming soon. After a month, his Taylor Swift collab was announced, which accepted entries until the 31st of December 2015. This collab was cancelled sometime during early 2016, after copyright issues.
After two and a half years without any collaborations, Stewen released a Dua Lipa collab announcement on the 16th of January 2018. It accepted entries until the 18th of February 2018, but was cancelled after a few months due to time constraints. It is unknown how many people submitted entries, but several people confirmed their participation in the comment section.
After cancelling the last two collabs, Stewen announced that he was making a Lady Gaga collab on April 1st, 2020. The video was uploaded on May 5th, 2020, and six people participated. 
==Popularity==
Stewen's channel started out quite slow, as he only released a video around once a month. He reached 100 subscribers 13 months after he created his YouTube channel, in February 2013. After this, things started speeding up, and he reached 200 subscribers 5 months later, in July 2013. 9 months later, he reached 500 subscribers, and then finally, he reached 1,000 subscribers after a year, on the 25th of July 2014.
On the 8th of November 2015, Stewen reached 2,000 subscribers.
Following the deletion of his original channel, Stewen gained subscribers at a slow rate. He reached 1,000 subscribers in January 2021, but started gaining subscribers quicker following the release of several CupcakKe remixes, such as "Baby Shark" by Pinkfong, "So Am I" by Ava Max and "Fancy" by TWICE. His YouTube Poop of "The Duck Song" has also proven to be popular, being his 2nd most viewed video as of November 2023. Stewen reached 2,000 subscribers in April 2022, and hit 3,000 subscribers on February 15, 2023. https://twitter.com/TheSillyTitowam/status/1625906884933824515
