William started off by making more serious educational videos, but would start to gravitate to more comedic educational videos by the following year. Seemingly, his first successful video was "Can a Laser Melt Sand?", which was also posted in 2016. In December of 2017, William's house burnt down, on which he made two videos about. He quickly came back to making content afterwards. Over the following years, he gained more popularity. Not only did many people find his content entertaining and interesting, but he also collaborated with many popular YouTubers (mainly fellow comedy tech YouTuber Michael Reeves).
==="I'm Done" and hiatus from YouTube===
On October 25, 2021, William posted a nearly 23 minute video simply titled "I'm Done". In it, he describes how many hateful comments he had gotten as of recently had taken a toll on his mental health, and that he was indefinitely stepping away from YouTube content.

==="I Built An X-ray Machine and People Are Mad"===
On September 24, 2021, just about a month before his "I'm Done" video, William released a video titled "I Built An X-ray Machine and People Are Mad", in which he makes fun of hate comments that he got on his previous video. In the video, he responded to one specific person named "Evan", who made a mean-spirited comment on said video while also falsely claiming to be an "industrial x-ray technician". William then finds the person's LinkedIn, revealing him to be a welder with no qualifications or education in x-ray technology. William then pretends to be a recruiter looking for a welder for a "upcoming television pilot" , before eventually getting onto a call and talking to Evan for several minutes before revealing himself to be William. It should also be noted that while he was tricked into doing so, Evan did sign a release form allowing William to use the footage. 
When released, this video was positively received, however shortly after William's "I'm Done" video released, some people started bringing this video back up as suspicious. Many found that, while Evan's name was their account name, William had boosted attention to the person, especially by showing Evan's LinkedIn, which also included their contact information. This led many to accuse William of doxxing Evan. People also said that William catfishing Evan was also questionable behavior on his part. Some people also started to accuse William of making the "I'm Done" video after getting comments criticizing him on this video rather than for comments relating to cyberbullying. Others, who were more charitable to William, still said that he is most likely mentally unstable at times, and he should not be on the internet where hate comments like he mentioned are very common. The majority of his audience however seemed to enjoy his antics and support William given that Evan had started the argument from an account that contained his own real name, essentially doxing himself. William has not addressed this controversy yet.
