before you comment about how camman18 had a blob skin before they were popular, i do not care about creation date. camman looks like a blob.

People didn't just like him because he was good. People liked him because he was effortlessly good.

The best part about Technoblade's thumbnails specifically was that the streams he did were just random people's fanart. He'd just scroll through Twitter and pick a thumbnail and credit them in the descriptions.

You forgot the 2 most important parts 1. He doesn't autoclick 2. He has hot elbows

I think the most important thing is that Technoblade isn't playing a character. He is his authentic self. That's why there isn't any over-the-top editting, and why his style of commentary is so non-chalant.

Using fanarts as thumbnails was a way he engaged with his community, specifically with his fanartists. It was a way for the fanartists to know they were appreciated for their work, as Technoblade would show his appreciation for their work by using the fanarts as thumbnails.

Also he does not avoid stuttering and seems more human than other youtubers im pretty sure

I started that damn blob skin trend. Bunch of copycats. Guess I can't be mad since it lacked any creativity whatsoever.

I wanna mention something cool he did. He learned that the original art he used for Potato War 3 was actually traced. He changed the thumbnail immediately to the one we have now.

"What Technoblade [Did] That Modern YouTubers Don't"

The thing that techno had in droves is something which 99% of other minecraft youtubers lack and that is personality. He honestly had more personality than most of them combined.

Techno's skin he didn't even make he just took it from some random guy off some skin maker website and it then went on to be ICONIC which is SUCH a techno thing to do

The thing is, he wasn't the crowned, immortal best player of all time. He just... WAS the best player of all time. He never tried to make a point of it or shove it into everyone's face.
