Early Life and Career As a YouTuber


Johnson started his popular online series in early 2009. Johnson's Equals Three online program made his channel the most subscribed on YouTube from June 25, 2011, until January 12, 2013, when it was eclipsed by Smosh. Gabriel Iglesias, Snoop Dogg, and Robin Williams were among the many famous visitors who attended the show. The show's popularity on social media, both favorable and bad, encouraged Johnson to connect with other notable YouTubers, including his former competitor Smosh.


By early 2012, Johnson had become the first YouTuber to have a net worth of $1 million. Though the channel had the largest, and at one time fastest-growing audience, the program was criticized by the YouTube community, with some calling it juvenile, lowbrow, and rude, and others believing Johnson did not deserve the attention. Johnson's comments on popular videos were criticized for being unoriginal, sloppy, and perhaps infringing on copyright.


On December 25, 2019, Johnson posted a video titled "Guess what I did...", announcing his comeback to YouTube with a new program called "SUPERHVMAN," which he characterized as "a mix between a TED Talk and Equals Three." He would publish additional videos from this new series to a great response. However, the season 1 finale of SUPERHUMAN, "How to Live a Happier Life," would be his final episode, premiering on February 26, 2020. On September 13 of the same year, he began a new series centered on roasting TikTok users, with each subsequent video earning an increasing number of dislikes.
