wow_mao https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOujgO5S-Zn8DqpFrvzeIqA/community?lc=UgynVHgsGHUo-ox7Eap4AaABAg.A2oncMAC-5HA2oo3xSVXRL&lb=Ugkx3Z6F-pw3I5NTfexJJLGSFaKwZxNwxdzB is a British-Filipino YouTuber who grew up in the Middle East, currently residing in England, United Kingdom, who uploads a wide variety of meme videos.
== History ==
He joined YouTube on December 10, 2016. He is the original uploader of the viral video Squidward Community College. Ever since then, he continued uploading meme videos and has gained a following ever since, some of the memes being related to Asian and European history.
On October 4, 2022, his channel was demonetized by YouTube on the grounds that he "did not own the content that he uploaded," despite wow_mao editing his own videos and creating his own voiceover, and reusing content only under fair use guidelines. His partner program appeal was denied, and he now therefore relies on Patreon donations for his earnings.
On March 1, 2023 leaked NATO documents relating to the war in Ukraine were posted on his Discord server, from where they would spread to several social media platforms, and by April, many news sources were covering the incident.https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/08/intelligence-leak-documents-ukraine-pentagon/ The leaks, which seem to have come from another Discord server, have since been taken down, and wow_mao has denounced the leaks.
Later in October, he did a two-part interview with Lord Miles, who at the time has just got out from imprisonment by the Taliban.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKdB5uHGAxkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnYUAdl0oyk
==Content==
A big portion of his content is centered around irony and absurd comedy (see 21st Century Humour), main focus of the channel is shining light on past and current political events and topics in an entertaining way (example: His Pol Pot video, which both comedically and terrifyingly tells a story about a Cambodian dictator).
He is also known for creating various videos, for example his "Cursed Balkan Youtube Comments" series (which got 3 videos), and his "Average X Fan vs. Average X Enjoyer" videos.
==Second Channel ==
wow_mao has a second channel, to which he refers as his secret channel, a chimp named satan, where he uploads his meme remixes and occasional off-topic meme videos.
