Tanker Man 3000

Nicholas, better known online as Tanker Man 3000, is an American Minecraft YouTuber whose content currently focuses on the Hypixel Network, where he plays Hypixel Skyblock.
== Starting Out==
TankerMan3000 started out on Twitch as a Clash Royale streamer, and had a now deleted YouTube channel that focused around the same topic. However, there never caught on besides the occasional raid that gained him some base followers. He came back to his Twitch channel streaming the Top Hat Squad Minecraft Server, which was renamed the Crystal Empire Minecraft Server after his second YouTube video on it.
==Early YouTube Videos==
Tanker Man 3000's early videos were based around Hermitcraft, with the first one being an song about Iskall compiled from his video clips. His second video followed a similar theme as he looked over the Google Trends of members of the Hermitcraft server. These videos were quite successful, and it took 11 more videos until a video gained more traction than the Hermitcraft song.
== The Crystal Empire Minecraft Server==
The Crystal Empire Minecraft Server was an SMP that was started by TankerMan3000 and the members of his discord server named "The Crystal Empire." The server was originally named the Top Hat Squad server, but was rebranded to the Crystal Empire soon after. In the first season of the Crystal Empire Minecraft Server, TankerMan3000 uploaded 9 videos, 8 episodes in Minecraft, and an original song called, "Melons and Pumpkins."
Bomber Minecraft, Feangar Gaming, Agent Klondike, Friday, BTSHORT, and GibsonTheGoat were the main people featured. 
The Crystal Empire Minecraft Server also had a second season, although this one was much more short-lived. While the production quality of the videos was drastically higher than the previous season, with more editing and content in each video, it did not preform well. The first two videos were independent videos, but by the third video it had just become a compilation of stream clips.
== The Stream Clip Era==
During this time period after the Crystal Empire Season 2 ended, Tanker Man 3000 began uploading videos that were mostly clips from his stream. These were random videos on Minecraft and Among Us. The last series before TankerMan3000 stopped this style of upload was the GibsonSMP, an SMP run by another YouTuber named GibsonTheGoat. This lasted a while, but was stopped after Hypixel Skyblock blew up on his channel.
==Hypixel Skyblock==
TankerMan3000 uploaded his first Hypixel Skyblock video on August 2nd 2020, but it wasn't until October 18th of the same year that one really blew up. "The Problem with Scorpius" and the following video admitting its flaws, preformed incredibly well on TankerMan3000's channel, and launched him into becoming a Hypixel Skyblock creator. Every video since then has been about Hypixel Skyblock, which has been essential for his channel, growing it from 61 subscribers on October 18th to over 1000.
