Markiplier, how to twerk.
98
Okay, there's backstory to this.
99
Some fan at some convention asked me if I knew how to twerk,
100
and I didn't, but I tried.
101
Then following it up, I decided to make a video that was like one of my biggest regrets on my channel.
102
There's so many videos on my channel that are the reason I can never go into a career in politics,
103
and that is one of them.
104
Why Markiplier?
105
Okay, this is probably the category that's gonna expose me a lot.
106
Why did Markiplier have surgery?
107
Oh, before I did YouTube,
108
I had a tumor in my adrenal glands.
109
So my first surgery was to get that removed.
110
The other surgery that I had in the middle of me having a YouTube channel was,
111
I had scar tissue that had adhered to my intestines.
112
So it blocked up, I became,
113
as doctors called it, full of sh**,
114
and I had to get that removed.
115
Why did Markiplier drop out of college?
116
Well, that whole YouTube thing I was doing.
117
A lot of people question my decision here because I dropped out when I was two semesters away from graduating.
118
I was a biomedical engineering student and I had almost completed my degree,
119
but I was doing YouTube and going to school and finals for my senior project were coming up.
120
Like, it was just one of those things where I couldn't dedicate myself to both.
121
So I wanted to dedicate myself to YouTube full-time.
122
I wanted to take a risk.
123
I worked as an engineer in co-op.
124
I didn't want to keep doing that.
125
I really enjoyed this, so that's why I dropped out.
126
Why was Markiplier's first channel banned?
127
All right, YouTube famously has a lot of algorithms and a lot of systems that are automated.
128
My first channel was banned because they thought I was abusing the AdSense system.
129
My channel was not even monetized.
130
This is where it was really heartwarming because I had just under 2,000 subscribers.
131
Back then, that was a huge number.
132
I basically put out a video that was like,
133
look, this is the situation,
134
and if you guys can do me a favor,
135
resubscribe to this new channel, and they did.
136
600 people followed.
137
That's when I knew that I had something special that people were going to be by my side.
138
That was just a really important time in my channel.
139
Why can't Markiplier drink alcohol?
140
Okay, so I'm half Korean.
141
So a lot of people in Korea,
142
they can't process alcohol correctly.
143
They get red in the face when they do.
144
I get that to a super degree.
145
The last time that I really drank alcohol,
146
I actually had a heart attack.
147
I was in the bathroom and I felt dizzy it didn't go away
148
and then I passed out and I felt silly because they called an ambulance and I was like,
149
no, it's not needed.
150
And then in the ambulance ride over,
151
I had another heart attack.
152
It's a very weird thing and I'm not risking that again to drink,
153
so that is why I can't drink.
154
Why does Markiplier have a pink mustache?
155
This harkens back to the beginning of my channel.
156
I did a sketch with this character Wilfred Worfstache,
157
who was supposed to be a news character.
158
I did that, people really loved the sketch,
159
people made fan art of it,
160
and so it's become such an important part of my channel that it's kind of become the symbol.
161
Why is Markiplier king of Five Nights at Freddy's?
162
Uh, because I said so.
163
Why is Markiplier taking a break?
164
This was a while ago.
165
I had basically been making two videos a day,
166
every day, without vacation, up until this point.
167
And it was getting to me that I was making videos every day that I wasn't really proud of.
168
It was getting to me that I wasn't making videos that push myself.
169
I wasn't using to learn anything new.
170
I wasn't using to elevate myself.
171
And it was just getting to me.
172
And so I needed to step back,
173
and I needed to take a month.
174
And when I came back from that,
175
you know, I came back with a better mindset,
176
and I came back with a healthier attitude about, you know, making videos.
177
Like I can push myself and I can do these videos that people love and I can find ways to be creative.
178
It's crazy that I'm only answering these questions now instead of explaining when I did it.
179
You know, it's only really hindsight that lets me realize why I needed this so badly. Who Markiplier?
180
Who drew Markiplier's icon?
181
I should know this.
182
It was so long ago.
183
They did a wonderful job.
184
Of course they did a good job,
185
but now I seem like such a asshole because I don't even know their name.
186
That's the tragedy of it.
187
And that was like the first crisis of my channel is I was getting
188
so popular that I wasn't able to keep up with everybody.
189
There were times when the people that I thought I knew,
190
you know, I forgot them completely and people would come out of the woodwork like,
191
Hey, where are you?
192
Oh, you're too big now to hang out.
193
Those kinds of things, they eat me up.
194
It's just like, I don't have enough time for everybody.
195
I don't have enough time for everybody.
196
The first time that I got an email from a parent of a kid who passed away that watched my videos,
197
I was broken inside.
198
Like that, that just tore me up inside.
199
And there was this other make-a-wish kid that I had met just on a whim,
200
like I flew out to see her.
201
And then I found out two months later that she'd passed away.
202
and I was I was done for days after
203
that like I couldn't think and I couldn't like I couldn't even fathom
204
that concept that someone who was laughing and you know this wonderful person was gone
205
I barely had the chance to know her I mean it
206
changed everything it's why just like two weeks I was sitting down
207
and I wanted to do a 48-hour charity stream to raise half a million dollars.
208
Like, I'd never done that before and I wanted to do it and everyone was like,
209
48 hours is a lot.
210
And it's like, compared to what people have been through?
211
That's nothing.
212
If I can and raise money for good and
213
if I can dedicate myself to these causes and if I can keep trying to push my audience in the right direction,
214
then like, why wouldn't you do that?
215
Why would you not do that?
216
Anyway, I went way off topic.
217
I went way, way off topic there.
218
I'm sorry about that.
219
Who edits Markiplier's videos?
220
Okay, so right now, this wonderful person by the name Elixian,
221
he has been an animator,
222
animating some of my videos,
223
my gameplay stuff for years, since the very beginning.
224
He's been kind of the backbone of my channel.
225
I just talked with him the other day and I asked him if he wanted to go full time and he said,
226
yes, hell yes, and I'm like,
227
that's so amazing, because he's better at editing videos than I am.
228
Who was Markiplier's first subscriber?
229
Ah, this was my friend, Michelle.
230
I set out on Facebook a long time ago,
231
they're like, hey, I got a YouTube channel, anyone wanna subscribe?
232
And none of my friends did.
233
And Michelle was my first subscriber,
234
and Michelle believed in me,
235
and Michelle was there for me.
236
So Michelle, if you see this, you're awesome.
237
Who is Markiplier E?
238
Is that talking about the E meme?
239
I don't know, man.
240
Someone basically used that as a joke,
241
not even a real meme,
242
and then I think the irony,
243
because the internet thrives on irony,
244
decided that that was the thing that they were gonna grab onto for months.
245
I couldn't do a single live stream ever again without my entire chat just being nothing but E.
246
At this point I have no license or desire of license of this image,
247
which is why I keep it at a very low level of upkeep.
248
Like at this point, I'm just a walking nightmare, so.
249
Who is Henry Markiplier?
250
Henry is my girlfriend's new dog.
251
Who killed Markiplier explanation?
252
Okay, so I made this four-part series called Who Killed Markiplier that told the story of,
253
well, who killed me?
254
And it's a little confusing because I left the ending intentionally ambiguous.
255
A lot of people were confused about it and there's a lot of,
256
like, mystery about it.
257
But I kind of like that because it's a murder mystery.
258
So maybe the answer isn't quite sublime.
259
Is Markiplier good at Fortnite?
260
Better than people think because I played it casually on my own a lot
261
but talking and playing at the same time is not a skill I'm particularly good at,
262
but I'm average.
263
Is Markiplier going on tour?
264
I was.
265
I don't want to go on tour again for now
266
because it is a drain on my life and it is so hard to do,
267
and it is just grueling.
268
It is nice to go out there and meet fans,
269
but tour life is not the life for me.
270
Is Markiplier in space?
271
No?
272
Is Markiplier John Wick?
273
No?
274
I don't know.
275
Whatever you want.
276
It's your fantasy.
277
Is Markiplier liberal?
278
Pretty liberal.
279
Yeah.
280
Pretty mostly liberable.
281
Liberable.
282
Is Markiplier vegan?
283
Absolutely not.
284
I love meat.
285
I love eating meat.
286
Now that being said, I've always thought that
287
if they could lab grow meat that was even close to as good as meat meat,
288
I would eat that.
289
Fine.
290
Because then, yeah, there aren't any animals being killed.
291
Is Markiplier done with YouTube?
292
No, no, no, a little bit, no, not at all.
293
I am not done with YouTube.
294
It is still a wonderful platform.
295
As much as people shit on YouTube,
296
it may not be the best place to make a living,
297
especially right away, but it is a great place to get your ideas and thoughts out there.
298
Boom.
299
That's what I do.
300
Thank you, everybody, that asked a question.
301
Thank you for Googling these things.
302
I bet you didn't expect that your Googles were going to be pulled up,
303
but, you know, The internet is no longer private,
304
so everybody is exposed to everybody now.
305
Seriously, thank you guys so much for being even remotely interested in my boring life.
306
Yeah, thanks for watching, and thanks for the interview.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
