How 1 YouTuber Changed My Life
Youtube

For many years now, YouTube has been a huge part of my life. As a kid, I watched AMVs (anime music videos) and personalities like FRED. Yeah, that was the classic YouTube. Now the broadcasting platform is transforming itself into a multi-million dollar business.

Many famous YouTubers today have admitted that they first used this platform because it was easy, and they had no idea they would make money from it one day. Tyler Oakley even said he did YouTube to make videos for his friends because he was in college. I even did YouTube with friends during my early high school years which is another topic for another article. I wanted to write about someone who changed my life for the better. Because of him, I realized how much YouTube has become such a big part of me. He goes by the username "Markiplier."

Markiplier, or Mark Fischbach, is a Let's Player on YouTube. That means he plays video games for a living, and he is well-known for playing horror games, especially the Five Nights at Freddy's series. However, he does more than that. He does sketches, collaborations, and he even sings! He often does silly, random videos like his "MEOW" video which actually went viral.

What I love about Mark is that he truly cares about his fans. Every time he hits a milestone, he always makes a video to thank his fans. There is even a channel on YouTube that put fan milestone videos for him. Mark also does streaming charity events where he will pick a charity and stream a let's play while people donate. He is very big on the charity work and giving back to others.

Mark will often make vlogs to remind people that life is going to be okay. To be honest, I have been subscribed to Markplier for over a year now when he had seven million subscribers. He now has 14 million subscribers. He has one the of the fastest growing channels on YouTube, and he deserves it. I first saw in a FineBros's "YouTubers React To" and I just found him charming. I started watching his Five Nights at Freddy's videos, and I fell in love. I showed my friends his videos, and they found him hilarious. My current roommate and I even watch his videos together. He is just so likable.

Markiplier is just so down-to-earth and silly. He also does not care what other people care about him, and he truly cares about people. I hope to meet him one day just to say thank you. I wish to thank him for making such a positive impact on my life and for being an inspiration to me. When ever I am down, I just watch one of his videos. I know he will always be there for me, even though he does not know it.

Thank you, Mark. Thank you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
