Spooked

**Spooked** is a YouTuber famous for the series "YouTubers React To Undertale" & "YouTubers React To Steven Universe", he is a member of the Clods group and "frequent" collaborator with Blue Order.

## Biography

His career began in 2012, making videos related to Nintendo; mainly Pokemon, under the name EpicGameTime6670. These videos were fairly low quality only using a camera to record. So sadly fame wasn't easily achieved.

After EpicGameTime he switched to the channel Nohtrix (originally known as Aventine Gaming.) This is where his career as a Minecraft YouTuber began, with higher quality recording materials he experienced a higher amount of fame than previously received. Then in 2014 he felt starting anew would be a good idea, so he created the channel NohtrixYT which he could then continue his Minecraft videos on.

What he did not expect was a 10 minute loop of the "Digital Style" scene in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4 to reach him thousands of views (even reaching the attention of Elon Musk!). Something he had never experienced before, while this was good success in itself he then realised that Minecraft videos weren't the best way to go and cleared his entire channel (including the epic video where he killed TYBZI in Minecraft Hunger Games) to start fresh.

This is where the name "Don't Hug Me I'm Spooked" came in. An obvious play on the name of the series "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared." With the success of his previous 10 minute loops he felt he could replicate that success further, but sadly it did not garner much attention.

Failing this he then got into the Cartoon medium in 2015 with shows like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls and Star vs. the Forces of Evil. Seeing the success of the recent reaction channels he decided to make his own under the name GlacierRealms, where he reacted to multiple series including the aforementioned, Danny Phantom and Over the Garden Wall. After reacting for at least half a year his channel sadly was terminated for copyright reasons, causing him to make a new channel GlacierRants, one that would focus on reactions and reviews.

After a plethora of new channels such as CartoonRealms which only uploaded clips and previews from cartoons, he decided to upload full episodes of the animated series Supernoobs on a separate channel which then caused hell for him. After the channel Supernoobs was taken down many of his other channels received the same fate, loosing GlacierRants and many other channels attempting to revive GlacierRealms. He was sceptical whether continuing YouTube would be a possibility under these environments.

His only two remaining channels were the previously established "Don't Hug Me I'm Spooked" and "CartoonRealms" which he continued activity on. A previous video he had uploaded on DHMIS was a reaction compilation to Steven Universe which gained a fair amount of views. Seeing this was a good direction to go in he started producing more of these, slowly gaining him fame like he'd never seen before, with his most viewed video at the time being "YouTuber's React to Bill's Defeat" (Gravity Falls) at about 200k views. Then at the start of 2016 after playing through Undertale he sought it a good idea to start making reaction compilations to that.

This is what blew up the channel overall, views came soaring in; subscribers too and he was finally at a position where he could dedicate himself to making cartoon videos. Bringing forth the name "Spooked" from moving on from the DHMIS community. He enjoyed constant success for multiple years as he uploaded varying videos between his three main series of Undertale, Steven Universe and Super Smash Bros.

He started to upload content more sparsely as other life responsibilities took over, and from a lack of interest in making content in general. Eventually in September of 2019, Spooked was demonitized and on top of his already lackluster motivation to produce content, this is what led him to decide to stop making content in general, only uploading once every few months.

There are plans to create a new channel in the future, but deciding what content to focus on is quite a hurdle to overcome.
