==History ==
Brice joined YouTube on August 6, 2014. From this period until late 2020, videos were uploaded that consisted primarly of Minecraft content & commentary. His channel did not get many views, leading for him to not upload much. He would often delete his old videos in order to rebrand each time. They are since lost media.
On October 10, 2020, Brice changed his channel name to Resprune, in a way to rebrand himself and to no longer use his full name as his primary appearance, mainly to abandon the Mapping Community amidst controversies. At the time, he felt uncomfortable sharing his name and anything surrounding him, in fear he would be found again and targetted by other people.
His channel did not get much attention, as he mostly posted meme content. In March 2021, he received a shoutout by Blue Toast, resulting in him reaching over 300 subscribers, and in April 2021, appeared in one of Weegeepie's video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21PlFSUzE0chttps://youtu.be/tyWKmO7U50M?t=17 On October 8 of that same year, he reaches a thousand subscribers, marking for him "a dream come true". Two days later, Brice made a video thanking his subscribers for the milestone.https://twitter.com/resprune/status/1446425220550701056https://youtu.be/3VhjNtSV4rc
On January 14 2022, Brice announced a hiatus from his main YouTube channel, due to exhaustion and his mental state. His hiatus would end around a month after.https://youtu.be/lA3CZ61rZs8
On August 28, 2022, Brice would have his channel hacked after a friend, who also got hacked, asked him to play a game. This led for him to lose his Google, Microsoft and Xbox accounts. He has however recovered his YouTube channel, and made a new Discord account.
He would break his affiliation with Weegeepie on February 28, 2024 amidst the controversies surrounding the latter.

After finding out about this, this led to numerous people attempting to ostracize brice, accusing him of being a predator over the years.
Brice has made several responses, stating notably that the events occured a long time ago. In his 2024 documenthttps://docs.google.com/document/d/174F8deNWAW2_uP1PjQ4SYXrTMuXmvOjy4LVMw7g-hvw/edit?usp=sharing, he included a statement from the other person, stating they were both young and that she was never forced into the act, and that both parties moved on. She also stated that she did not want people to speak for her when true victims are suffering.
===Second doxxing allegations===
On September 6, 2021, a user by the name of Yeast Cartography would make allegations towards Brice of doxxing and attempting to take down his channel due to usage of Brice's full name. Brice originally did not answer to such allegations, however, in early 2022, he made a Twitter thread, responding to Yeast, calling him out for "being more of a creep" than him.https://twitter.com/resprune/status/1485291766379167754

She then made claims regarding manipulative behavior from Brice, leading to the latter responding via a video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-mfslEPxVQ
The video would have a mixed reaction, with people calling Brice a pedophile due to the age gap, stating that he groomed her. Brice reiterated his statements in his 2024 document, claiming he was indirectly forced into the relationship, but only agreed to it due to both parents agreeing to it. He also assessed that his Neuropsychologist is aware of the situation, and confirmed of him not being a predator.https://docs.google.com/document/d/174F8deNWAW2_uP1PjQ4SYXrTMuXmvOjy4LVMw7g-hvw/edit?usp=sharing
