History Of SomeThingElseYT (ft SomeThingElseYT) | A Brief History

this here is Adam Ortiz or you may know him better by the name something else whitey from his YouTube channel something else whitey Adam is an animator which I mean duh look at my videos what did you think he was gonna be a basketball player no Adam is actually one of the bigger names in the animated storytelling community but oh boy is there so much more to his history than that most of you guys probably found out about Adam within the last couple of years but he's actually been on YouTube in one form or another since 2009 yeah a decade it's gonna be one of those episodes seriously there is a lot to talk about this time so let's just get right to it this is a brief history so let's jump all the way back to the start may 25th 2009 when Adam was just a kid obsessed with online video he was watching viral videos on YouTube cartoons on Newgrounds all that jazz and around this time a one of Adams friends named Eddie had his own YouTube channel called Eddie rock and roland where he and Adam made some of their first-ever videos but Adam needed a channel too so we quickly set up his very first channel the very next day and it was of course called Adam rock and Roland no doubt setting up a massive and robust rock and rolling cinematic universe Eddie and Adams content was mainly a bunch of short clips with click vadie titles that they hoped would go viral I could make a joke about that but like we all did that back in the day Adam did it I did it you did it it was just a simpler time anyway the Eddie and Adam rock and rollin channels only ever gained a couple hundred subscribers each and were abandoned relatively quickly however something even more important was going on in 2009 for that August Nintendo released flipnote studio for the DSi wait what how did we get here yeah bit of a sharp turn but a flip note was an extremely simple animation tool for the da where you could record your voice and make little cartoons to go with it and after messing around with it for a while Adam became obsessed with flipnote going by the username apparently pronounced SHhhh mangos playing around with flipnote was Adam's first to ever attempt at animating and eventually Nintendo released a service called flipnote hatena where you could share your cartoons with other flipnote or flipnote Ian's Flip nodules and to his surprise when Adams started uploading to flipnote hatena he actually started to form an audience of a few hundred followers but I'm getting ahead of myself here a little bit all this flipnote stuff is just to say that adam was now extremely interested in pursuing animation so he started a fresh new youtube channel in 2010 that that was to be solely dedicated to animated content something else Adam the random one it was called Adam the random one yep and honestly I barely count this channel because there's straight-up only one video on it but it is a pretty important one video it's a six second long sketch called the moon and it's Adams first ever animated YouTube video but like I said Adam the random one only had one video there's not much else left to talk about so let's jump forward a bit to July of 2013 when Adam started another channel this time with his cousin who goes by King Waldorf the channel was called Batman and King and they made cringy Minecraft Let's Plays hekia Oh what it's not enough for channels not doing it for you you want more well fine here have another one the a and B community started by Adam and his high school friend Bailey in April of 2015 this time around Adam was exploring a podcast style vlogs in a similar vein to good mythical morning a and B community again only lasted a few months before becoming inactive and between that Eddie rock-and-roll and Adam Rock Rolland Adam the random one and Batman and King we have now gone through five different YouTube channels five but all of this was just leading up to the big one the channel to end all of Adams other channels yep that's right we are finally here troll dogs what okay so this channel is what eventually became the channel you guys know today but to even it went through a bunch of random stages of its own so this is troll dogs Adams sixth youtube channel started in january of 2014 so technically it started before a and B but like whatever and it was his first to be based around get this prank videos yeah Adam was watching a lot of Roman Atwood and those kind of youtubers back then which led to such masterpieces as the did you just fart prank savage but after a while Adam realized wait a minute I hate this and thus it was time for a rebranding including a new channel name now what name could possibly get across the fact that Adam was now doing something else on YouTube oh my god and just like that we have finally arrived at something else YT holy crap and there's actually a lot more to this username than you might think you see on a bit of a heavier note here a growing up adam was picked on a lot and people often made him feel like he was nothing and the username of something else yte Oh was Adams way of saying that he's not nothing he's something in fact he's something else and the YT was just for that and having ditched prank videos to find a new identity on YouTube but Adam decided to return to his Batman and King days by going back to let's plays but swapping out minecraft for horror games but considering Adam hates horror games this direction wasn't really gonna last so Adam wanted to change things up again and if you remember only a few years back this guy was all about animation with flipnote and Adam the random one but he hadn't really explored animation since flipnote shut down in 2013 however after discovering animated storytelling youtubers like swoozie and dom ecstatic there was a lot more that he could still do with animating on YouTube and so on September 5th 2016 Adam released a new video to the something else YT channel called someone attacked my car this was Adams first ever animated Story video what made with the help of a Microsoft Paint and a state-of-the-art $15.00 from a garage sale drawing tablet but it was just kind of an experiment he was still making Let's Plays and vlogs while he found his feet in the animation scene but he kept at it and continued releasing new animated story videos on a nearly weekly basis which good lord how did he manage that now the animated story seen on YouTube was really starting to bump in 2016 is still kind of underground but just about to break through so Adam jumped in at just the right time joining an ever-growing community of similar creators but - even in his earlier videos Adams animated stories still managed to stand out thanks to their really unique and sometimes disturbing stories and audiences definitely took notice when Adam started his story videos in September of 2016 he only had about 700 subscribers but by the end of that year the something else YT channel had actually jumped all the way to 10,000 from that point on animated story videos became Adams main priority as he continued to refine his comedy storytelling and his animation and by the summer of 2017 the something else YT channel had garnered an audience of over a hundred thousand subscribers but it was only about to get crazier from there you see around that time Adam took part in a series of crossover videos with fellow animated storytellers Jayden animations and the odd ones out and on July 2nd 2017 these three all uploaded new collab videos that each linked back to one another needless to say that was kind of a perfect storm of a collab and this was a whole new level of exposure for Adams channel but too while those collabs may have brought more people to Adams channel that week it was the consistent quality of his videos that helped his channels growth continue to skyrocket over the next year seriously things started to go insane for the something-else YT channel hitting 1 million subscribers by July of 2018 so by this point to Adams decade-long dreams of becoming a big youtuber had finally come true but he still knew that he needed to take things to a new height and one thing I failed to mention about Adam he has been a lifelong fan of music he's been an aspiring musician and songwriter for a long a long time and has even made some videos about it so the next step was clear on March 22nd 2019 Adam released his debut song I'm a something else a rap track that he had been working on for well over a year the song came complete with a super polished music video made with the help of some majorly talented artists and animators and holy crap the reaction has been insane I'm something else very quickly became the biggest video Adam has ever released with over 15 million views at the time of this video I was gonna say oh now that's something else but that's kind of just stealing the songs mainline so skipping that I'm good at this something else Whitey's history is the kind of thing that I love about doing this show the story of someone who's just been in love with YouTube since childhood and just kept at it for the sheer fun and passion of it until something finally clicked that's a story I can really relate to and it's another perfect example of how success of any kind comes with patience and dedication like imagine if Adam had just given up on YouTube after his Minecraft Let's Plays didn't take off five years ago that would have made this a completely different story the heck this video wouldn't even exist but no he kept at it for no other reason than it was fun and he wanted to see what he could do something else Whitey's videos their art their comedy and now what their music are all about being entertaining because that's who Adam is an entertainer and even after 10 years on YouTube it's clear that there is still so much more he has planned and that is something else alright I couldn't resist thanks for watching guys dftba hi it's uh it's me now Adam from something else whitey writer said that I could say whatever I want here because he wanted it to be more me I decided to use my words wisely to say I poop my pants I'm sorry writer I don't forget to like that smash but and thanks to writer for doing my history super awesome seeing all the stuff that I've done in the past compared to the stuff that I'm doing now and will do in the future and I'm excited to just start posting more it's it's gonna be fun alright bye bye stay hydrated
