Finntastic99

Finn (birthday: June 22), better known online as Finntastic99 (formerly Finntastic99 // FT99), is a Scottish YouTuber known for his gaming videos. He plays games such as Euro Truck Simulator 2, Minecraft, Roblox, and many more. He also occasionally does vlogs such as Aqualand, El Arenal in Mallorca where he and his sister go down the waterslides, inspired by TUBERIDES. His channel is PG-rated as he has younger viewers, although he is not considered a kids entertainment channel.
==History==
Finn joined YouTube on July 27, 2016, although it may not seem like it, he made a couple of videos during this period and were all on Stikbot stop-motion animations. In early December of the same year, he removed all of those videos and started again, with a channel trailer (now deleted).
His first video was inspired by TUBERIDES and was showcasing all the water slides at a water park he had to build in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The music used was Pink Floyd's 'Have A Cigar'. This video has been since copyrighted for obvious reasons.
On May 5, 2018, Finn uploaded his most viewed video which was a remake with Shaders, showcasing a working railroad/level crossing in Minecraft.
==Personal life==
Finn is currently living in Scotland, the UK, with his parents, his sister 'BrokenChannel/AlwaysWells'' (formerly known as 'Ender''), and three cats who are called Cornflake (8), Pumpkin (5) and Porridge (2). Finn and BrokenChannel like to roast and laugh about their dad's car, which is a [w:c:automobile:Peugeot 206|Peugeot 206]] SW. BrokenChannel likes to call it 'The Boogeymobile''. It is colored dark green.
Finn was born in Kirkwall (capital of the Orkney Islands) in Scotland, United Kingdom. He lived there for a few months before growing up on the Scottish mainland. Although he was born in Scotland, he sounds English and his sister (BrokenChannel) sounds American. This might be down to watching a lot of American-based stuff on the internet.
==Quotes==
*What the heck!?!?
*Oh my gosh!!
*Ok.
*Hey guys down here from Finntastic99!! (Old intro | see trivia for information on this)
==Other Channels==
As mentioned in the trivia section, Finn has over 10 channels (including Finntastic99)that 'have videos on them. Here is the list of the 5 most subscribed ones.
*Finntastic99 (formerly Finntastic99 // FT99) [1,740 subscribers]
*EuroTrucker26 (formerly Reddit Ocelot, formerly OcelotMC, formerly Clips) [240 subscribers]
*Titanic/Britannic/Lusitania [85 subscribers]
*Dj Finest Official (formerly Dj Finest) [26 subscribers]
*Finntastic96 [16 subscribers]
Other channels that have videos on include:
*TheGamingDragons (BrokenChannel's old channel from 2017) [13 subscribers]
*Traingenix (2020 train channel) [3 subscribers]
*OrdealOrderly (2020 roblox channel) [2 subscribers]
All of these channels are currently inactive, which also includes an even older channel from 2015 called 'The Golden Muffin''. Evidence that proves Finntastic99 created this channel is in the description of the video titled: 'Tsunami Disaster Movie Spectacular Minecraft'. The description reads (has been altered to improve grammar):
"Sorry that I said Finntastic99.I said that because that's what my channel was going to be called but it's not called that anymore. Anyway, the mod used was the 'Apocabuckets Mod" 
A bit more evidence is that the videos uploaded on this channel include Minecraft and Roblox, which is what Finntastic99 does videos on sometimes. The most obvious thing that proves the channel belongs to Finntastic99 is that a video was uploaded nearly two years ago, which was a screen recording of a video playing off the main channel which included Finn's family playing 'Bean Boozled'. The number of views on the video underneath the title read 35 million. This would be ridiculous if it was true as Finntastic99 currently only has just over 1.1 million views in total, most of which come from his most popular video. 
Google Chrome's 'Inspect' tool was probably used to change the view number to 35 million. The subscriber and like counters had also been tampered with.
==The Rise and Downfall of Finntastic99==
A bunch of his subscribers may of noticed that he had an incredible rise in both views and subscribers, and that in the last year everything has been creeping up quite slowly.
From late 2016 to early 2018, subscribers were low and by the end of 2017, he had only around 75 subscribers as he made a video thanking everyone around this very time.
From the start of 2018 to the end, he had gained over 1,000 subscribers and 500,000 views. The video that blew up was his most popular video and his channel 'trailer' which is titled: Minecraft Railroad Crossing (1M Views??) Finntastic99. The reason this could of blown up was the fact that it was short, had a decent thumbnail, good title, description and dozens of tags. In 2019, everything was growing average for a channel his size and by the start of the new decade everything had slowed to a crawl.
==Trivia==
*He used to have a few videos in July 2016, before removing them in December of the same year. (See History for more information).
*He used to say "Hey everyone/guys down here from Finntastic99" in 2016 and 2017. He soon stopped as he realized what he had done. He had taken the idea from what DanTDM used to say when starting a video. Finn thought he had used the word 'down' but had actually used the word 'Dan'. Since then, he has just said "Hello Guys" and other similar things.
*He used to show his face in almost every video throughout 2017, but possibly felt slightly self-conscious about himself in 2020, but just decided to stick to text and voice only.
*He has over 10 accounts on YouTube (including Finntastic99) that have videos on them. The second most popular channel is EuroTrucker26 (formerly known as Reddit Ocelot, formerly OcelotMC and formerly Clips, which used to have movie clips from disaster and action films like Titanic (1997) and Twister (1996).
*BrokenChannel has a few TikTok accounts. The first one was made during 2019 and is disused and she now has a new TikTok account, posting TikTok's every so often. Finn does have a TikTok account and made one video.
