Markiplier: Career
Markiplier joined YouTube in March 2012 and published his first video the month after. Initially intending to create sketch comedy featuring himself in all roles, he came up with the name “Markiplier,” a fusion of his first name with “multiplier.”
His inaugural YouTube series was a gameplay of the video game “Amnesia: The Dark Descent,” but after playing several other games, YouTube suspended his AdSense account, prompting him to create a new channel, “markiplierGAME,” in May 2012.
Beginning a playthrough of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” in August 2014, this series soon became his most popular, amassing 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.
Following comments by Jimmy Kimmel 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 impactful celebrities among American youth in 2015.
Markiplier shared a home with Ryan Magee and Daniel Kyre, founders of the YouTube channel “Cyndago,” after relocating to Los Angeles. Following Kyre’s death in September 2015, Markiplier took a hiatus from the show.
Markiplier co-hosted the 2015 South by Southwest Gaming Awards alongside actress Janet Varney. He launched the interactive video “A Date with Markiplier” in 2017, followed by “A Heist with Markiplier” in 2019. In November 2019, together with Ethan Nestor, known as CrankGameplays, he created the YouTube channel “Unus Annus” with the intention of uploading a video daily for a year before deleting it.
Within the first five days, “Unus Annus” achieved one million subscriptions and over 11 million views. Markiplier appeared in his own Red Giant Entertainment comic book series in 2016 after joining the publisher’s board in late 2014. After showing interest in various entertainment forms such as music and acting, he signed with Endeavor in November 2016.
