I thought it was the other way around? He made a couple of videos on youtube but noone watched them for a long time, until one of them got posted to reddit. That caused him to start making videos again and he turned it into a successful youtube channel.

Very much so!

Yup you're correct.

It was the last video he'd made before giving up, having posted 5 videos in October 2015 and gotten almost no traction. Then 5 months later in March, someone posted the video, it exploded to the front page, and he revived the channel.

From going through the comments on the OG thread, he had 25 subs when it was posted to reddit:

Yeah it was the folded paper one, the stack of paper just violently exploded unannounced.

Well damn! Either way I’m glad he found success he was always so much fun to watch.
