His channel quickly gained popularity, with the most-viewed video reaching over 5 million views.

Fedmyster faced his first significant controversy before transitioning into a full-time content creator when he received a 24-hour ban on Twitch for editing inappropriate pictures of his roommates Pokimane and Lilypichu, which violated Twitch's terms of service. Despite his roommates defending him and even praising his Photoshop skills, the ban was enforced. Shortly after, he faced a 7-day ban for failing to moderate racist speech during one of his streams. Subsequently, in April 2019, Fedmyster live streamed from Japan inebriated and caused property damage, resulting in a 14-day ban. However, he took responsibility for his actions, apologised, and the ban was lifted on April 14, 2019.
In 2020, Fedmyster faced more serious allegations when two of his housemates accused him of sexual harassment and unwanted touching, leading to his removal from OfflineTV. Fedmyster acknowledged his imperfections and apologised for his behaviour.
