This episode is brought to you by BenQ, bringing enjoyment and quality to life. Yo guys, what's going on? My name is Aaron and in today's episode of Impulse, we're going to dive into Mr. Black X Worm. You guys know Worm Nation, who out there is part of the Worm Nation, but guys, Black X Worm is one of the successful YouTubers who have found camping strategies on Black Ops and Call of Duty games to be advantageous and growing audience. Who would have thought? I hate campers to be honest, but whatever works for him, it's been working. You're also going to notice something different in this episode. You're going to see everyone's comments on the last video they talked about, the Black X Worm, what they think about him. They're going to show up. So if you guys like free shoutouts on the Impulse show, you better put a comment down below on this episode for next week's successful YouTuber. Alright, let's get started. So Worm, quick question. Thunder got you started on YouTube. How did he do it and where did you guys meet? How it happened was we actually, I didn't even, I never even thought about making a YouTube channel. I was never even into watching people on YouTube. I was just playing Black Ops 2 and I was being a massive dick and amping and like, you know, just doing all this stuff that I shouldn't be doing, but Thunder was in the game lobby at like two in the morning and he caught me doing all the camping and stuff like that. And the first game we ever met and I was, I was really like rude and saying all this stuff and he was like, oh, I'm going to put you on a YouTube video. And I was like, dude, I don't care about that. You know, so then he had like 165,000 subs at the time and I was like, oh, I couldn't care less. And the first game he recorded and then the second game he was in with me. So he uploaded that video as camper of the week. And then there was such a good response to that that I sent him another video from the Black Ops 2 like catalog or whatever that you can say the videos. And then the second video went viral. And that's when I started YouTube because he told me he was like, dude, you got to do this. I was like, oh, all right. Well, dude, that's really cool. It's always interesting to see another YouTuber in a multiplayer lobby. Now, how did you know that you were succeeding and had something that everybody wanted to watch? There's one thing that told me I was going to like, not succeed because everything still happens real quick. But I had 3000 subscribers before I even had a video on my channel or anything. I just had Black Axe worm on my YouTube channel and I had 3000 subs before I even uploaded one video. I went from completely unknown. I didn't know any YouTuber's names or channels or anything. And the only dude I knew was Legend of Thunder and because I just ran into him that night, you know, and then less than a week later, he was like, dude, just get your channel. So I put Black Axe worm, my gamer tag on the channel and 3000 subs before I even had a video. Isn't that crazy? That's nuts. 3000 subs and you didn't even upload one single video. I guess again, collaboration and shout outs are kind of a big important thing when it comes to growing on YouTube. So along your journey, what's the favorite part about being a YouTuber? Well, this sounds bad, but my favorite part about it is that the level of success that I've had so far has been able to make me like piss so many people off on a grand scale. You know what I mean? Like so many people are like, you ruined the game. You're a camper. Like the thing, being a YouTuber, it let me drag that really nasty person out of the dark, like that person that everybody sees in video games, but nobody's ever really capitalized on it. And like camping and trolling and all that stuff and being able to bring it into the light into such a big scale. You know what I mean? Dude, man, I cannot stand campers. I'm a hardcore FPS player, especially called duty. I can't stand you campers. Exactly. Well, that's the thing is especially when you do it so long, like I've camped in like Halo and every single gun game, it's like the thing is you just find the best spot. It's not the most action packed thing, but you're getting wins. You know what I mean? You're winning. And the best part is, though, is that how mad people get at the camper. You know, they're like, move out of the spot. It's like, oh, it's great. Dude, I'm serious. I cannot stand campers. It's not funny. Stop laughing. But anyway, what have you discovered is the biggest factor to growing is exceeding on YouTube. The way I found out personally is that just do it. Do you, you know, like don't don't worry about what other. Yeah, originality like just because you've got a million people doing this way of a channel cookie cutter kind of thing. Don't do that. You know, like my channel is like total. It's not a heartwarming channel. It's a total jerk asshole channel. Yeah. Yeah. And it just it's worked, you know, so transitioning into something completely random pizza. Everyone loves pizza. What's your favorite topic, man? Favorite pizza topping. This will this will be an anti cheese because only rats like cheese. So no cheese snitches get stitches. I don't do a whole lot of pizza. I calzone like calzones barbecue chicken calzones. I do love calzones actually better than pizza because I'm always finding myself folding the pizza. Does anybody else do that? Tell me in the comments below. But anyway, biggest accomplishment. You've been on YouTube for a while. So out of all the things you've done, what's the most memorable and biggest accomplishment? Getting featured on Kotaku. We got thunder and I got featured on the front of Kotaku. Or yeah, it was it was like the huge front page of Kotaku website. That was that was insanity because I remember hearing about that and like, whoa. And it well, it's a 5050 because that and then the fact that they made a worm character in ghosts and advanced warfare as bots. So those are my two like huge things like they put a worm bot inside advanced warfare that you could play against. And they did that with the ghosts as well. And he just the ghost one just sits around with the right shield on his back and he's got a shotgun and whatnot. So yeah, they made me like a bot. It's me. Yeah. Really, you are an actual character as one of the bots and called it a ghost. I'm going to go back now and play called it a ghost to see which bot it actually is and see if he just sits there in camps and does exactly your antics. Alright, everybody gets burned out all the time uploading videos and they're on the grind. They always know that the grind consistency is how do you grow successful channel? But what is actually your fuel or your motivation to keep uploading those videos? It would probably go into a generalization of anybody who's I always get messages from like sons, dads, sisters. They're always saying, oh, I was having such a bad day. But what, you know, and it's weird hearing this because the channel is based on like just vulgarity, easily. But it'll be like, oh, I was having such a bad time. The one that sticks out to me was, oh, I just broke up with my girlfriend from a long time and we had such a long relationship. And I was really in a rut in a dark place, but then watching your stuff really got me out of that. And I was like, whoa, that's that's really cool. Because that the whole point of it is for people to enjoy it, you know, and those those kind of comments are the best ones. But I also love the hate mail that I get. Like that's my favorite stuff. I love it. It's so good. The hate mail is is what keeps me going. That's that's how I know I'm doing something right when they're like, oh, like you you did this worry. I can't can't believe you went to this level. And it's like every time you cross that line, you you meet this checkpoint, but there's always another line to cross. So it's like, it's what keeps me going. The hate mail and those mixed up. It's like a yin yang, you know, you're probably one of the very few people that actually enjoy the hatred comments that actually come your way. I can't do it. A lot of people I know can't do it. So yeah, I'm with you. I block those guys and just like get to forget here. But anyway, last question. What is your guilty pleasure? Katy Perry part of me. Yeah. Oh yeah. Big time. Katy Perry. Really? Dude, I got to hear you sing it. Do it, man. Sing it for us. Don't say. Yeah, I can't. Oh, my God. Oh, that was awesome. Yo, that was awesome. All right, guys.
