In 2008, before YouTube had figured out "monetization", an almost accidental content creator lucked into one of the first "viral" successes.
THIS video is a "What the hell became of Matt?" followup to that, and it is SO WHOLESOME. A humble hero we need today […]

Ah, I see the "Your account must be verified, click here" scams have spread from Mastodon to PixelFed servers.
I'm quite sure they're on Bsky as well, but probably getting squashed quick (that's harder in AP-fediverse space).
Please block and ignore!!!
