Career[]

Around mid-October 2016, Vexxed uploaded a new video, noting that Eugenia Cooney, a video creator, was severely underweight. The video points that anorexia forums names her as one of their body image goals, and that she makes them feel jealous. Vexxed compares Eugenia from a few years ago to now, with Eugenia looking thin. He estimates that Eugenia's BMI is centered around 14.[3]

Around March 2017, he visited North Korea's main square and filmed a video there. He took photos and videos of the main square and the surrounding area, which was restricted for foreign visitors. It was deemed a risky act by the media, and was asked to delete it by his tour guide, but refused. According to him, he paid 2000 USD for the trip.[4][5][6]

His most notable series is his Exposing Youtubers series, commenting on other users' acts, most of them including fraud of their viewers for money. One of his most notable videos was his one on Trap Nation, a popular music YouTuber that he claimed was hacking, buying malware and spreading Trojan viruses using his YouTube channel. Vexxed's video was disliked by bots sent out from members of Hack Forums. In addition, he was bribed 10,000 USD to take the video down by Trap Nation and Kareem, a hacker cooperating with Trap Nation. However, he refused and the video remained.[7][8]

In early 2018, Vexxed was banned on Twitch. The reason why he was banned, according to Twitch, was that he was 'nude' live on-stream. He later claimed that he was changing with his underwear on without knowing that he was on-stream. Later, in October, an email was sent to him, advertising Twitch to him. He posted it on his Twitter account,[9] and described the experience as 'salt in the wound'.[10]
