Dumbsville opened the youtube channel on June 6, 2012, uploading its first video titled "(OLD) Adventures in Dumbsville: Episode 0-Prolouge", uploaded on June 10, 2012.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp4FcELl4qA&ab_channel=Dumbsville
One of his first popular videos was "how to fix bad music (ft. MC Ride) (uploaded April 24, 2016)", which got 151,202 views (from January 23). the video showed various examples of "fixing music", using various songs considered cringe and enhancing them with pieces taken from various Death Grips songs.
=== Career as Sonic-tuber===
Dumbsville began his career as a Sonic related commentator, where he would take various videos and rant on them. among the various focuses, one of these was rants against the various haters of Sally Acorn, which he considered a useless hatred.
Due to the fact that Dumbsville was attacking the Sonic community in general, this would obviously have caused drama, and in fact, he got some.
====Trueloveheart94====
Among the various YouTubers that Dumbsville reviewed, one of them was perhaps the most remembered: TrueLoveHeart94.
Dumbsville had heavy rants against TLH94, considering him a huge manchild (as TLH was 22 at the time the video was made),https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6W2aGwrnhw&ab_channel=Dumbsvillehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK4pWKNYzMg&ab_channel=Dumbsville and also a person with no creativity after reacting to TLH Sonic X season 4 (a badly made AMV that used SonAmy as main topic).
At the same time that the first video came out, Dumbsville's Twitter account was banned, and every time he tried to do a new one, the account was suspended or banned again. Many theorize that TLH possibly played a part in Dumbsville's ban, because of his childish behavior (TLH was quite infamous on twitter because of his habit of denying people who had a different opinion to his, responding with stuff like "THIS IS NOT TRUE" or "LIAR" in full caps, and then blocking/reporting them).
After making three videos (with the last one being about the aftermath that TLH didn't changed at all, even though he promised multiple times), Dumbsville eventually gave up and stopped paying attention to him. 
Months later after the final video, he announced the fact that Twitter sucked because of people like TLH and that Discord was way better (this video was also a small advertisement to his first discord server).
At this time, Dumbsville started doing things like mixtapes and various songs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4qYBG6O_E&ab_channel=Dumbsville
====Sonic93====
The second big rant Dumbsville had was against Sonic93, a Youtuber who was infamously known for many videos where she insulted the haters of her favorite character (Silver the Hedgehog) in an offensive way.
In the first video rant about her, Dumbsville said that the one who motivated him to make video commentary on YouTube was disappointing him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3tZhM7jTXg&ab_channel=Dumbsville After the video came out, both Sonic93 and Dumbsville started arguing for a long time, becoming friends for a while.
A couple of months later, Dumbsville announced on his (now deleted) Discord Server that he officially close any connection with Sonic93, stating that she was still planning a video about him. He also stated that her toxic & stubborn behaviors in Discord DMs made any discussion hard to handle, forcing him to close connections very quickly.
Days after the announcement, Dumbsville uploads his last expose video about Sonic93, in which he accused the fact that she had not changed and that she was an unreliable fake friend, along with giving her a good luck message for the expose video about him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgvqK6430ds&t=9s&ab_channel=Dumbsville After other Youtubers joined the exposing bandwagon following Dumbsville's video, the drama ended for good after Sonic93 terminated her channel due to the backlash and because of an attempt to dox Dumsbsville.
===2020 and Change of Content===
In 2020, Dumbsville perhaps had the urge to upload videos of things (mostly related with Sonic) he hated higher than expected: He started to make a video about people accusing Birds of Prey fans of considering Sonic offensive via obvious copy pastas (with the fact the movie wasn't out yet), from attacking (the now defunct) TSSZ and SnapCube (Penny) to comparing (at the time very talked) police brutality to Sonic, and finally to make two videos about the many problems with The Last of Us 2 (with the second video being about against the haters not understanding the obvious problems). 
On October 28, 2020, Dumbsville announces his retirement from Son Amy rants, also including stopping rants about Sonic in general, possibly for the big drama related with the blue hedgehog happened that year. After this choice, Dumbsville will start doing more music videos (albeit rarely) and reviewing much more movies, especially the Alpha & Omega series, all of which he reviewed (including the licensed video game). The movies became a running gag on his channel.
=== The "punished" saga ===
Following this change in content, Dumbsville has decided to sport a slight new design, parodying Punished/Venom Snake from Metal Gear Solid V. Even if the change is merely aesthetic, it will start to use it on YouTube a little after initially mentioning it as a joke. After he finished a few of review of the Alpha & Omega direct to video sequels, he begins a sub-series where he reads some of the comments of those who defend the movies. Along with this, Dumbsville would begin reviewing movies he considers mediocre.
