What Happened To Fe4RLess? (Heaps of New Information)

[Music] on the first of january 2021 felix would upload this video to the youtube platform under the name minecraft uf then subsequently disappear from all social media were there any clues sound bites or private posts by fearless hinting at the reasoning behind his disappearance was felis burnt out depressed or mourning the loss of a loved one why was his final video unrelated to fortnite with the help of some awesome viewers who have sent me a couple of recent sources relating to his whereabouts we can get a pretty good idea of where fearless is at we've got a five minute video from less than two months ago posted by someone who was able to question fearless after being paired with him in a random duo we've discovered a few cool secret messages put in the video description by felis possibly hinting at his location and crazily enough a reddit asked me anything posted by the apparent real fearless only 17 days ago explicitly stating why he's disappeared from the platform these will be explored throughout the video but there's something that we need to first discuss in order to understand his disappearance being that an incredibly inconsistent upload schedule is almost a part of his style it's permeated his videos dating all the way back to the call of duty days when he would post black ops 3 sniper and funny moments montages leading up to this point it had taken him almost four years to establish his reputation as someone who doesn't upload very often but it all began with this video kicked from phase seeing a player who was funny or a troll was common and seeing a player who was extremely skilled was common as well but seeing these two elements mixed into one was slightly rarer you just said i wasn't in phase now i'm kicked i guess some kicks from face damn dude so no more face fear alicia it's over for this reason felix began to build his reputation as a skilled yet relaxed call of duty troll who had a unique editing style for the time being mid-2017 should i revive him help me help me he's saying help me i'm not gonna help you come on push the button the blue button you don't understand this game oh my god there was a clear passion and conviction held by fearless in the early call of duty content as if he'd been digging deeper and deeper into a star that few had ventured into before he was finding something new for each and every video he was clearly introverted and quite standoffish but there was a clear enjoyment and desire for every new montage which ultimately passed on to the audience after only seven of these hilarious montages felis was at 300 000 subscribers but relating back to the previous point even in the very beginning when he first blew up there were still often full one month breaks between uploads the thing was the view counts were still insane despite his awful upload schedule which inevitably showed fearless that his viewership wasn't really tied to how often he uploaded after the release of fortnite battle royale fearless would migrate his unique editing and commentary style over to the game in his first fortnite video titled insane sniper shots fortnight battle royale funny and epic moments i've been having a lot of fun on this game recently i've been playing it a lot just haven't made any videos on it but a lot of people asked me to make a video and so i did i might make a few more i don't know this game was kind of similar to call of duty from a content perspective only there were more noobs making for excellent trolling content while joes and squads assisted with various creative ideas you guys got this killer finding noobs or unusual players in both jaws and squads was what fields would become known for bullying default skins in fortnite getting a noob his first win on fortnite funny voice chat moments and knowing to these fearless subscriber count would surge he would rock it past 2 4 6 million subscribers upload a video titled chapter 2 oof then out of the blue completely disappear beginning what would become a string of unexplained mysterious events in the life of fearless months went past without a word from the creator and naturally fans began to worry about what had happened to him when are you going to post a youtube vid bro when's the next vid hey bro when you're going to post fans began to scour his final upload with the goal of figuring out the motive behind his silent exit the video had been titled chapter 2 oof but it had been uploaded over 4 months after chapter 2's release perhaps fearless had been included amongst those creators who weren't really enjoying chapter 2. it took him ages to release the video then he concluded that the game wasn't enjoyable enough to make a second video on the chapter this would be supported to some extent when felis would randomly do a live stream titled um high after four months of complete silence throughout this livestream he would mention that he hadn't really been playing fortnite so yeah i haven't played much but we're playing right now which would support a lack of enjoyment for the game however this didn't seem to be the primary reason for his lack of uploads as later in the live stream fearless would give somewhat of an exact explanation as to why he hadn't posted a video you want to talk about it let's talk about it all right youtube i don't want to get into it why i haven't been uploading stuff but um it's personal i mean a little bit more another thing is i just like it doesn't matter what matters is i'm gonna upload soon felix would end the stream by stating and i'm gonna just go hard and upload hopefully this year which many interpreted to be a joke considering it was only june and there was another six months before the end of the year however fearless wasn't kidding it'd be another six months of silence before he would take to tick-tock posting a video with the caption was supposed to be in the new vid but nah to suss fearless was back and had also announced that a new fortnight video was on the way bro i have my next video done i'm just scared af to upload fans naturally began to joke about how long he'd been away for with one stating so when's your next vacation which prompted a reply from fearless stating vacation i wish this was a vacation if only you knew my life bro bro once again reinforcing that his disappearance might have been a little more serious than everyone initially thought as laid out in the live stream viewers from the livestream would also comment on how feeler seemed somewhat depressed he sounds sad like something's wrong and he's gonna cry he's not the same please come back for real fearless we miss you he sounds depressed that's why he don't upload i think he got some stuff going on in his life so let him take the time the legend will be back soon we love you fear it sounds like he's going through depression felis would never comment on this but regardless on the 6th of december 2020 the video teased on tick tock would come out on youtube under the title aimbot 3.0 a full 12 months after his prior upload strangely the video had been filmed in chapter 2 season 3 which ran from june to august of that year meaning that the footage had been filmed at least four months before the video went live if he filmed that video in chapter two season three why did he post it four months at least four months after that season it's it's kind of weird but whatever he was back in action the fortnite community universally rejoiced and the video would gain over 30 million views from hyped up fans a month later felix would switch things up a little bit and upload a video titled minecraft oof after teasing it with a photo on his instagram story spotting a trend with two videos in two months fans assumed that felis would be back to his usual upload schedule however this wouldn't be the case the minecraft uff video still remains as his most recent upload approximately eight months later there was something sad about this final video it felt like the passion feelers had at the beginning of his video making journey had fallen out of the content to some extent it was almost like he was uploading minecraft because everyone else was doing it he was no longer enjoying fortnite and he felt as though he needed to in order to maintain his upload schedule you can always kind of sense when someone isn't actually enjoying the videos they're making there's an unexplainable forced vibe behind the video that you can't see but you can definitely feel it perhaps this was also supported by the fact that felix had taken a full 12 months off making videos beforehand and at the end of the day no one who actually enjoys making the videos is going to take 12 months off this also relates back to the point of no longer enjoying chapter two because if you decided to make a switch to minecraft what does that say about his previous love for fortnite cipher pk had an alternate but very interesting take on the whole situation being that the item pool was somewhat to blame for his disappearance a lot of the content that some of these youtubers and streamers focused on or made kind of revolved around some of the crazier out of the ordinary items like the impulse nades the shockwave needs flint knock pistol the balloons the bush the bush that you can put on additionally he also mentioned that a creator like fearless relies on your players as well as fairly oblivious individuals from duo and squad feels in order to make good content a lot of the content that cd and fearless make involves them playing with newbie players or new players or even running into like new players you don't really run into defaults like that anymore you don't really experience that level of like randomness in your in your gameplay where you can run into somebody who has never won a game and i mean this makes sense as we mentioned in the beginning the reasoning behind felis's initial blow-up was because he was able to leverage hilarious new player scenarios in order to gain huge view counts some players who managed to get into a squad feel with fearless during his first hiatus would record him saying i didn't quit i just i haven't been getting any good footage for a video oh really footage i'm actually happy with you which once again makes sense as if there's less noobs and no new items there's simply going to be a lower probability of encountering these situations trying to think when was the last time i saw a genuine default i don't think i've seen one for over a year they don't exist anymore i want to be able to find them but they are the rarest creatures known to mankind their population is extinct they were killed off by the tryhard gang centuries ago this segways perfectly into the first piece of actual rock solid evidence regarding where felis went and where he's up to in his content creation journey on the 12th of june 2021 a user by the name of str snowball posted a five minute long video titled i met fearless can you upload um probably let's go in this video snowball had paired with fearless in a random duo however the video would end when the two were killed by some other skilled players playing with you youtuber good luck on your youtube channel new videos take care this is fairly basic evidence for the previous claim being that it would be difficult for feelers to get clips given the massive increase in the average skill level but nevertheless it still shows that fearless is likely stacking up clips for his next video as there isn't any other reason for why he might be playing random duos to support this snowball would pin a comment stating he did say that he was going to try and upload a c2 s7 oof video but with only a few weeks left in season 7 the probability of this is becoming less and less likely in addition to this video a strange code has been spotted in the description of felis's most recent fortnite upload confused by the code users would search it on instagram to be met with an account stating so you've searched it perhaps this was an attempt to stir up some mystery around his disappearance but it never really gained any traction nobody talked about it on reddit if you google the code barely anything comes up so maybe it just didn't end up doing what fearless wanted and the idea was ultimately abandoned however both of these events pale in comparison to the most promising yet equally controversial piece of evidence regarding fearless's current location and that's a three-week old reddit ama with 600 upvotes posted by a user called graph fearless which stated i am a youtube with 9 million subscribers ask me anything in this post the apparent real fearless would answer numerous questions relating to why he had stopped uploading will you start doing youtube again not for the foreseeable future i have a bunch of personal problems which make it hard for me to make content was there a special moment that made you take a break i had a panic attack after posting a video that made me seek therapy what's your biggest regret youtube related i invested myself too much emotionally into youtube and i felt an unending pressure to upload even when my mental health was not up to it i've sought therapy for this now there were some elements to this ama which presented it as a genuine post by the real fearless such as the reddit name and the fact that the user didn't include their youtube channel name in the ama description however when looking a little deeper into the user who made the post the credibility of graph fearless is questionable at best users began to request that he provides some evidence proving that he was in fact the real fearless to which he would respond my background is a picture of my epic games login this was correct although the picture was incredibly low res and could have easily been screenshotted at some point in a fearless video after being told that his banner wasn't enough to be believed the apparent real fearless would post an image of my instagram login for proof which displayed a screenshot of his instagram account logged in from fearless's end now this again wasn't very good evidence as photoshopping something like this is so easy that i've done up an identical one just to prove that anyone could do this people then told him to post the image without the crop which is where the credibility of this guy really fell off a cliff he began to argue with everyone on the post trying to convince them that he was the real fearless literally going into full-blown paragraph arguments attempting to display his apparent credibility now firstly if this was the real fearless he wouldn't even need to argue with these people he could have just provided some better evidence and that would have been the end of it plus the only reason why you'd go to this much effort to try and prove your right is if you're wrong fearless is not the kind of guy who's gonna sit on reddit all day trying to argue and convince one person that he's the real fearless when he has nine million subscribers on youtube waiting for him to post a video in addition to this if we compare how fella speaks on tiktok to the way this guy speaks on the post the grammar pattern is completely inconsistent the real fearless responded to comments with a very casual relaxed lower case nah that's hamline's i miss him bro while the reddit felis would respond with a much more formal and serious no i don't want a trillion people asking me the same few questions i wanted to talk to people who haven't seen me before using uppercase letters which seems out of character compared to the first screenshot as if he's trying to talk like a famous person without having experienced fame himself additionally the account responded to so many questions that once again just seemed out of character for fearless egotistically stating my natural sense of humor drew more viewers also stating people treated me the same after i got famous and i can't find bad comments even if i try all of which being statements that no youtube would ever say about themselves because they're simply not true the account was made literally four days before the ama was posted whoever made this ama is clearly just taking advantage of the fact that felis doesn't use any social media and knows that the real felis would never call the guy out on it as much as i'd like to believe that this ama was posted by the real fearless i think it's pretty safe to say that it's completely fake so if that is fake then what's the truth what happened to felis the passion fell out of the process i think that's somewhat obvious getting clips is no longer simple and hassle-free he takes four to six months to edit a video after he's filmed it when it used to only take him one month alternatively his obvious lack of motivation could also be attributed to depression as outlined in other theories or perhaps his introverted nature removes the desire to put himself back out into the online world one thing that i didn't mention in the other disappearance videos on sea day daquan and hamlin's is that these creators clearly also feed into their own disappearances and avoid returning to content creation as they like to have their story discussed which keeps them arguably more relevant than if they were uploading take hamlets for example if you continue to make videos on fortnite or another game he'd probably have a similar fate to say myth who's fairly washed up these days getting less than 50 000 views per video on a channel with over 4.6 million subscribers the mysteriousness surrounding hamline's disappearance ensures that people continue to talk about him while he puts in absolutely no effort seems like a double positive almost fearless is slightly different given he would still get massive views upon returning but it'd be naive to say that he doesn't enjoy the significance of people always discussing his lack of uploads felis's current location and disappearance motive is one only known by the man himself but hopefully after this video we're at least a little bit closer to the truth
