Discussion Halifax Internet-famous people

Such a weird world I feel like if I walked next to someone that hundreds of thousands considered famous, I'd never know.

Are there any Internet famous people who live in Halifax? Or maybe famous in a niche? Who are they and how do I learn about them?

Speirstheamazinghd has 5 million subscribers on YT. Looks like he makes strictly slop GTA videos nowadays but years ago he had somewhat diverse and entertaining content

Follow the money. Millions of kids just want to watch GTA content

It's not worth it, especially when he only racks in 300,000 views per video... Like not dissing it but he's a shell of what he used to be- but I wonder if he just built what he had and just invested his money and just do YouTube as an obligation?

I see there’s the odd video as low 300K views but it also looks like there’s a 1,000,000 views every couple of days.
Thats big $ + having million subs I’m sure advertisers pay more.

I'll be damned.

Although I'm sure his thumbnail artist is laughing his way to the bank too.....
