Career

[edit]

Welsh created his current main YouTube channel on 10 March 2013, under the name "JackSucksAtMinecraft".[16] His early videos consisted of him playing the sandbox video game Minecraft.[4] He currently creates a variety of content, with a large part of his content focusing on YouTube Creator Awards and other awards.[4][5][17][2] On 8 May 2017, Welsh incorporated the production company he used for his videos, "Jack Massey Media Ltd".[18]

Welsh owns many YouTube Creator Awards, some which he has officially earned, and some gained by other means. He owns a Diamond Creator award with the name "KSI" on it, which he gained using a website exploit.[19] He has also purchased PewDiePie's and MrBeast's Red Diamond Creator awards,[20] and PewDiePie's Red Diamond Creator award briefcase.[21]

Welsh has created many different YouTube channels, so far owning 16. He has a Guinness World Record for having the most YouTube channels with over 100,000 subscribers owned by an individual.[4] He has also helped three other YouTubers earn Guinness World Records. He helped TommyInnit get the records for "Most followed Minecraft channel on Twitch" and "Most viewers of a Minecraft gameplay live stream on Twitch",[22] Dream get "Most subscribers for a dedicated Minecraft channel on YouTube" and "Most viewed Minecraft gameplay video on YouTube",[23] and helped GeorgeNotFound get "Most viewers of a cooking live stream on Twitch".[24][25]

In 2020, fellow YouTuber James Stephen "MrBeast" Donaldson created a YouTube channel for Welsh, titled "Don't Subscribe". Donaldson gave Welsh a challenge, in which he would give Welsh US$0.10 (£0.07) for each subscriber the channel received, up to 1 million subscribers, ultimately worth US$100,000 (£73,000). Welsh managed to get the 1 million subscribers, and received his US$100,000.[26]
