Vik joined YouTube in 2010 and after playing video games with his friends, he became interested in watching other YouTube users’ videos and creating their own. He ultimately made the decision to start his own channel.
“MW2 INSANE Game Winning Killcam! Triple Quickscope + Collateral - Vikstar123” is the oldest available video on Vik’s channel. In the video, he plays Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online and shows a triple kill he achieved.
As his following grew, he started to take it more seriously and expanded into Minecraft.
He joined the Sidemen in 2013, which led to a further increase in his popularity. Later, he would move in with three other Sidemen, living with them in a house from 2014 to 2018. He participates in the Dream SMP server as well.
He announced on his channel in January 2021 that he was giving up playing Call of Duty: Warzone because of a rise in cheating, claiming that if it wasn’t fixed, hackers would be “the death of the game”. The uproar that followed, along with criticism from several other well-known streamers, forced Activision to update the game’s anti-cheat software.
Vik has four YouTube channels. Since the late 2010s, his primary/original channel (Vikkstar123), which was founded in 2010, has become steadily less active. Similar to his first channel, his second channel, Vikkstar123HD, is only active twelve times a year. Since early 2020, his third channel, VikkstarPlays, has been dormant.
He capitalizes on the YouTube Shorts feature, which debuted in 2021, on his fourth channel, VikkstarShorts. Vik’s YouTube channels are no longer nearly as active as they once were due to his increased focus on his business endeavors and the main Sidemen videos as he entered his mid-20s.

According to Net Worth Spot, based on the $3–$7 that YouTube channels typically make per 1000 views, Vik makes over $211,310 annually.
