DataRaven

Lance (born ), better known online as DataRaven, is an American former YouTuber who is best known for his Roblox content, such as his raiding videos, videos where he bypassed Roblox's filters, social experiment videos, as well as being the founder and former host of ROBLOX 7 News. He is also one of the earliest YouTubers in the Roblox community to expose Fave's behavior prior to its widespread in 2021.
==History==
Lance joined Roblox on April 16, 2012, and created his channel around 2 years and 2 weeks later on July 29, 2014, and uploaded his first video the same day, which is a montage of screenshots he took on Roblox, in which two of the screenshots featured popular Roblox users, whom are Shedletsky and Merely. Lance would upload his first video of one of his most well-known series, ROBLOX Social Experiment, in which he asked 30 girls if they would like to online date or not, on August 20, 2014.
===ROBLOX 7 News===
On May 16, 2016, he founded ROBLOX 7 News (R7N) after getting suggestions from a forum post he made, in which he covers events that happened within the Roblox community, with the first episode being dedicated to MouseyCherie's account getting hacked, BrickEffect going to prom, JohanSKo returning to make more Roblox videos after an almost year-long hiatus, liking PixelFlame (now known as maxthemink)'s tweets, and Merely graduating with a Bachelor of Computer Science degree. Nearly 2 months after hosting R7N, he resigned from his position and changed the series' host to ItsKolapo. The series ended and had its last episode uploaded on September 17, 2017, as ItsKolapo didn't really enjoyed making R7N videos and had moved on to game development on Roblox. At an unknown point of date, ItsKolapo privated/deleted all of his videos from his channel, making all of the R7N videos hosted by ItsKolapo become lost media.
===Bypassing Roblox's Filters and Raids===
On August 17, 2017, Lance uploaded a video where he, along with four other people, bypass Roblox's filters via troll avatars with the True Blue Hair, Woman face and t-shirts that, after aligned properly, spell out "SUCK MY COCK". This video led to his group getting banned by the Roblox staff, which would lead him to start his first raid with way more fans using the same avatar as seen in the aforementioned video. He uploaded the video for his first raid on August 21, 2017.
===Hiatus and Retirement===
After nearly a year of not uploading videos since 2018, Lance uploaded an apology video that is now unlisted, which also explained why he hasn't been uploading, as he was losing inspiration from making content as well as his busy schedule, and mentioning that he might be quitting later. He also revealed that he is now working for General Motors as a contractor (later an assistant photographer) with a big wage by MSX International, as well as revealing that he doesn't like doing raids and felt remorseful for the groups that get targeted. Lance had quitted making Roblox content twice before, but changed his mind as he missed his fans.
Lance would upload 3 more videos before quitting, in which his last video was dedicated to an FBI and prisoner raid. The same video was also the last episode of ROBLOX 7 News, where he returned to be a host for a farewell message, in which he explained again that he has a full-time job as an assistant photographer for General Motors and that making videos added pressure, as well as his losing motivation to make Roblox content due to the general declining quality of the platform. He also thanked his fans for all the memories they made during his 5 years of making YouTube videos.
