According to statistics, one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube every second, and five billion videos are being watched every single day. This video streaming platform provides not only entertainment and information but also a source of income for many content creators. Some independent YouTubers have been able to use their huge following on the platform to support charities as well.
For these reasons, young creators like Gregory Chase decided to embark on a journey to fame and fortune on YouTube. With its founding in 2005, YouTube has allowed passionate and creative people to share their craft on the platform. Likewise, countless talents have also gained mainstream attention because of their viral uploads to this video-sharing site.
Online gaming, which has become one of the biggest markets in the entertainment industry, has taken YouTube by storm in recent years. In fact, its biggest independent creator, PewDiePie, started his career by posting Let’s Play videos of horror and action video games. This was the same startup Gregory Chase ( on instagram @reflowable) used to spearhead a career that would later earn him millions of subscribers and dollars.
With over 10 million subscribers across numerous channels, Gregory grew from a casual streamer to a professional content creator on YouTube. His passion for gaming and sharing the joy he got from it pushed him to launch multiple channels. He initially started posting videos of himself playing Call of Duty and Minecraft, then, later on, transitioned to other genres.
During his early years on YouTube, Gregory was uploading videos just for fun and to share his passion for online games. In 2011, Minecraft was released to the market, and Gregory, along with his neighbor Mat, found interest in the sandbox video game. They shared some videos playing the game on YouTube, with one of their uploads even getting a million views.
After parting ways with Mat, Gregory earned a degree in video programming and web designing, which aligned with his passion for making videos on YouTube. Some years later, he created his own Minecraft channel, which gained over 30,000 subscribers in one year. This opened the doors for Gregory to explore other genres, and after some time, he launched other channels covering all sorts of topics and subjects.
One of Gregory’s YouTube channels, Top 5 Best, gained over 2 million subscribers in just a year and currently has over 5 million subscribers. He started the channel after finding some interest in list-type contents, which was the trend during the mid-2010s. His other channels offer similar content, but his team makes sure that they provide engaging videos to keep their viewers interested.
Despite Gregory’s gigantic success, he continues to fight the challenges that go along with creating content for YouTube. He considers reacting to hate comments as one of his toughest battles, though he thinks some negative feedback is constructive. Nevertheless, Gregory and his team promise to keep on improving their content as his way of giving back to the platform that changed his life forever.
