Markiplier: Career
Markiplier entered YouTube in March 2012 and uploaded his first video the following month. Initially planning to create sketch comedy films featuring himself in all roles, he coined the name “Markiplier,” blending his first name with “multiplier.”
His debut YouTube series was a playthrough of the video game “Amnesia: The Dark Descent,” but after playing several more games on his channel, YouTube disabled his AdSense account, leading him to establish a new channel, “markiplierGAME,” in May 2012.
Beginning a playthrough of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” in August 2014, this quickly became his most famous series, accumulating over 80 million views. Later in the franchise, he participated in “Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery,” and made a cameo in “Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery,” released in 2019.
After Jimmy Kimmel faced criticism for remarks about Let’s Play videos, Markiplier appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in September 2015 alongside fellow YouTuber Jenna Mae. He was ranked #6 on “Variety’s” list of the most influential celebrities among American youth in 2015.
Markiplier lived with Ryan Magee and Daniel Kyre, the founders of the YouTube channel “Cyndago,” after moving to Los Angeles. Following Kyre’s passing in September 2015, Markiplier took a break from the show.
Markiplier co-hosted the 2015 South by Southwest Gaming Awards alongside actress Janet Varney. He released the interactive video “A Date with Markiplier” in 2017, followed by “A Heist with Markiplier” in 2019. In November 2019, he and Ethan Nestor, known as CrankGameplays, initiated the YouTube channel “Unus Annus” with the goal of uploading a video daily for a year before deleting it.
Within the initial five days, “Unus Annus” garnered one million subscriptions and over 11 million views. Markiplier was featured in his own Red Giant Entertainment comic book series in 2016 after joining the publisher’s board in late 2014. After expressing interest in various entertainment forms, such as music and acting, he signed with Endeavor in November 2016.
