Dutch YouTuber Kwebbelkop was a slow starter on YouTube: his channel was created in 2008, he started uploading in 2011, and he only started creating daily videos in 2012.

When GTA V was released, he switched his focus primarily to Rockstar’s new game; he has since transitioned back to making a fair amount of Minecraft content.
A prolific content creator, Kwebbelkop continues to release a daily video. He currently has 13.5 million subscribers on YouTube, as well as nearly half a million Twitter followers.
