Drew Monson (mytoecold)

I did mention that I'd get to writing a blog entry about Drew Monson and I did!  Drew Monson is a YouTuber who is somewhat famous.  He claims he's not famous anymore.  I provide a video below where he goes on about saying he's not famous anymore.  Drew Monson and Shane Dawson have some things in common.  Not only do they have the same amount of syllables in their names and have "son" in their surnames, they are real good friends.  They have appeared in videos together.  Drew has been criticized as a Shane copycat.  He is not a copycat of Shane to me.  Watch Drew's earliest videos and watch Shane's earliest videos, they're quite different.  Their content is somewhat similar.  Now why am I writing about Drew?  He's a somewhat interesting guy to me.  It took him several years to get to over one million subscribers.  I'm wondering why he didn't have a million sooner.  Above is his latest video.

It's funny he says he's going to be famous and he already was.  This video is from four years.  Next we have a video of him where he say he's not famous anymore.  This guy is one humorous person.

This vid is from two weeks ago.  LOL!  Well to me he's still famous.  I don't think he'll ever reach the amount of fame Shane has gotten, but Drew was a bit close to reaching that fame.

One thing that baffles me a bit is that he actually managed to survive the purge of younger YouTubers (refer to my blog about hejhog for more on that) in his early days on Youtube.  Why?  Look at him, he could easily pass for 13.  Plus no one ever reported him back then.  He didn't reveal his age back then too.  That's another thing that helped him make videos.  I actually thought he was about 14 when I came across him in 2007.  Now that I'm older and my perception on peoples' ages is a lot better, he clearly looks well under 13 in the video above.

According to his page on YouTube Fandom page, he was born in 1995.  Technically, he was not allowed to have his own channel on YouTube when he signed up late in 2006.   This blog would have been titled "Whatever happened to mytoecold?" if his channel got terminated.  I'm glad his channel didn't get terminated.  Perhaps his channel was supervised by a parent or guardian.  Who knows!  I doubt it.  I guess people liked him a lot and they had the heart not to report him for being an underage YouTube user.

Well I'm happy for Drew Monson.  He is a successful personality on YouTube and he has over a million subscribers.  He still has his legacy YouTube name, which is "mytoecold" and the video is about his username.  When I came across him in 2007, I thought the name stood out.  I never understood the appeal of videos him and Shane make, but they're quite good.  I thought of making videos like them.  Then I decided not to, I could get caught up in drama and stuff like that.

There's my blog about this YouTuber!  I'm not sure if I'll be writing any more blogs about YouTubers.  They're best documented elsewhere.  I'd say the best source for that is this YouTube Fandom site.
