BortLoco

Iván López (born: ), better known online as BortLoco, is a Mexican YouTuber.
==Content==
As Iván hasn't set a specific type of content, he makes varied content of his videos, like gaming videos (with text commentary), YouTube Poops and more, to be able to attract a broader audience. However, he was also known for making parodies of the Angry German Kid meme.
==History==
===2014-2016: Start on YouTube, lost channel===
Iván created his channel on April 9, 2014. Other than the AGK content he made in that channel, the rest is unknown, however, one can assume he had made the same type of content since he started on YouTube.
From February 2016, his channel got disabled for reasons unknown (although Iván did speculate his channel was hacked because his password was very weak back then), despite being re-enabled twice during May of the same year, it was finally closed on July 10, 2016. That channel had a total of 1569 subscribers and over 460,000 total views.https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/ivan187
===2016-2017: Restart===
Due to his old channel getting disabled, he had to make another channel in April 2016, and after it got closed, he started to continue his YouTube career on this channel, at first he was reuploading part of his old content, before making a complete restart of his channel, during 2017 there were much less videos that there were in 2016, as he was graduating from middle school and starting high school later that yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnIXSu4cBqkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eazJJeC4Ls. The gaming videos he did would later be remade in higher quality and in 60 frames per second.
===2018-2019: The 2018 Program===
Iván had this project in his mind since mid-2017, which basically consists of Iván uploading a video daily during 2018. After a consecutive streak of 43 days, Iván had his first missed upload on February 13. This constantly repeated throughout the year as he was in a rough emotional state due to his declining performance at school, so he decided to continue the project over to 2019 with the objective to fill the dates he missed during 2018. The project was completed on December 6, 2019, and it contained some gaming content, some YTP's and tennis rounds, but the rest were more miscellaneous "emergency" uploads to ensure that every single calendar date had a corresponding video.
However, as of 2023, Iván has unlisted this playlist because of what happened with Shorts and Fillers, deleting all of it's related stuff, resulting in the playlist now having 327 remaining videos (and then 325 after deleting his old AGK series), Iván does not plan to do anything about this, sadly.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLER-3tcKj9suj0cm6H-wGqVNYXOitvfnj
===2020-2023: Upswing on YTP Tennis===
By 2020, and going into the COVID-19 pandemic, Iván was already making YTP Tennis so much more than any of his other content, despite how he showed up to the YTP scene for the first ever time in 2016, with his first tennis match. It wasn't until a few years later when he realized he wanted to pursue YTP Tennis because it was a lot of fun to do, and it was an outlet for his editing skills to improve dramatically in comparison to his gaming era where he edited with VideoPad. In 2019 he started making full YTP's and tennis rounds with Vegas Pro, and as of August 31, 2021, he has participated in just over 100 different tennis matches, and even became a staff member for Missadaxio, which is an endless YTP Tennis project aiming to see how long a tennis match can be.
Aside from YTP Tennis, he also started doing livestreams in late 2020 to make up for the lack of gaming content that his fans missed to see. From this point on, he has considered retiring from doing gaming videos with text commentary and cover any remaining games he wanted to play on the channel, with livestreams. His Shorts and Fillers series (the third one) had also become a main side project whenever he's not making tennis rounds, and it's more focused on meme compilations and shitposting.
On October 9, 2021, Iván lost access to his Google account due to a hacking, preventing him to access his channel, however, the consequences were for his alternate channel: SpongeBob Time Cards, which had 35,700 subscribers at the moment it was hacked. Fortunately, he managed to recover his Google account just two days later, however, the affected channel lost its branding for a while.
====End of Shorts and Fillers?====
On March 17, 2022 and April 1, 2023, two episodes of the Shorts and Fillers series were taken down by YouTube, landing a Community Guidelines strike on Iván's channel which forbade him from uploading videos, making livestreams or community posts for a week. He decided it would be best not to have the series up on the channel at all to prevent further strikes from being issued, so he moved the series to archive.orghttps://archive.org/details/shorts-and-fillers. Iván has decided if he ever makes more Shorts and Fillers episodes, he will upload them there. This also affected the 2018 program, as several videos were Shorts and Fillers material.
===2023: A new era===
On December 14, 2023, the day of his 22nd birthday, Iván made the decision to rename his online identity to BortLoco due to drama issues that occurred earlier that same year under his old username. He also went back to doing livestreams on his channel and does it frequently.

==Trivia==
*Iván's first ever appearance on the internet dates back to 2012, when he used to submit user-created levels in the PC breakout game Ricochet Infinity.
**His most recent activity with the game is as recent as April 2024, when he finally submitted after nearly a decade; "Normal Set 20", the twentieth set of his flagship level set series within the game. Iván has mentioned that the absurdly long wait was linked to numerous other interests taking place during his teen years, and technical difficulties forcing him to redo progress on the set more than once.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jpx6I72hPM The last known level set from him was made in August 2015.
**Also, his first ever video on his old channel was a Ricochet Infinity video.
*He used to be much more known as an AGK parodist, because the meme was still very active in 2015. Now he is known for using Vegas Pro to do the craziest YouTube Poops and tennis rounds in his whole career, instead of VideoPad which was his main editing software to make gaming videos and the majority of the rest of his content.
**On May 19, 2022, he officially retired from AGK. However, he stopped doing AGK parodies since 2019, and even in 2020–21, he stated that he would stop his AGK series indefinitely to reboot it, but nothing ever came out from that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THDC8ID5t4w
**In May 2024, one of his old episodes got taken down, prompting Ivan to delete his entire old series as well.
*He actually started making videos since somewhere in 2013, but it was not until 2014 when he decided to become a YouTuber.
*He formerly made update videos (vlogs) to keep his subscribers aware of what's going on in his life, as he likes using the Community tab more.
*He has revealed his face, however, he doesn't make videos with his face on his gaming videos due to English not being his native language. He also didn't use a microphone.
**In one of his "Shorts and Fillers" videos, though it was not the first time of him speaking English on video, he was decently fluent in the language but still could've been improved (due to the reason above).
**He did however begin doing livestreams in September 2020 where he's now more comfortable to talk.
*He is personally not hyped to famous films (like Avengers—he's one of the few people who never watched Infinity War or Endgame), unless they are animated. Especially if they come from Disney•Pixar.
**In fact, ever since Turning Red released, he has been a huge fan of it, to the point of even getting a red panda plush toy for comfort, plus some other merchandise as well.
*Iván was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly Asperger's Syndrome) on November 13, 2012. His two older siblings also have the same disorder (due to genetics from the father), but Iván is the least functioning.
*Iván was born at 2:35 PM on December 14, 2001.
*Iván once proclaimed he wanted to dye his hair yellow after finishing high school, but this idea fell through.
*Iván created "Shorts and Fillers" because he was inspired on making a video in a similar style to an asdfmovie by TomSka, where he compiles random clips separated by 0.5 seconds of TV static. The name originates from a video with the same title uploaded by one of his friends, AGKandvideomaker2000, in 2015.
*Iván graduated high school in July 2020. He never got to wear the mortar board because of COVID-19 which cancelled the ceremony. He took online classes in the last 3 months of the semester. 
**With the ongoing pandemic and him finishing high school, he ended up getting huge amounts of free time, and took advantage of it to maximize video production. He posted 56 videos in the month of August 2021 alone.
* Due to his channel's 2021 hacking, he made up a second channel, this channel was initially used in case the main one suffers "an accident or something worse".
**Then he made this channel as an official alternate one, which is currently named BortLoco 2.
***In October 2023, BortLoco 3 came along. It's another alternate channel that he'll be using for projects that involve making plenty of videos; at the moment it only contains DDR song charts, but this channel was not revealed to the public until the rebrand took place two months later.
*Iván also has another alternate channel which he uses as a YTP Tennis archive: Tennis Sea Shore.
*Iván is also the manager of the SpongeBob Time Cards channel, which has amassed over 52,000 subscribers as of 2024.
*Iván owns a Nintendo Switch since March 5, 2022.
*Iván has contributed over 1000 rounds to Missadaxio, a YTP Tennis project he works for.
*Iván is aware of his Wikitubia page here and has tried to verify his account there, but allegedly couldn't.https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Ivan187?threadId=4400000000003641562#4400000000013902425
