Etika content would consist of two parts, his youtube content where he tended to produced more news based content on information relating to Nintendo IPs and his streaming content where he would either play games or react to whatever video or thing he was streaming for the day. His reactions would often be over the top with him usually screaming along with another action that would accompany it like falling out of his chair or tossing things in his room. His personally could be that of a hype man where his excitement with whatever got his attention managed to make people who were viewing his excited too. Due to personality and content he had managed to gained nearly 1.3 million subscribers and paved the way for other Black youtube creators and steamers to gain success on youtube like iShowSpeed and CoryxKesnhin. His content managed to also unity people of different backgrounds due to how the energy released by him and love for the content he looking at the time managed to bring people together to see this man react, play, and laugh to whatever he was doing and to bond over these experiences. Unforunately on June 22, 2019 after a long with mental illness, Etika took his life, in the days that followed his fans began movements to memorialize his life by archving all of his videos, making memorial for him, and ultimately making a 40 feet mural of him in Buskwich, Brooklyn which celebrated his life and raised awareness to mental health issues. |
