German Garmendia’s Profession & Career

Since he was a boy, German Garmendia has enjoyed making people laugh. And the music was his true passion. He used to play a number of instruments and, at the age of 13, he and his older brother founded the band “Zudex.” Following his graduation, he started working on music with his brother and friends. In August 2006, they began uploading their music to the YouTube channel “Zudex.”

On a dull day, German-made a funny video for his friends called “Obvious Things Of Life.” On September 9, 2011, he uploaded it to his YouTube channel “HolaSoyGerman” after being prompted by a friend. The video was then posted by his friends with their friends. In a short period of time, the video became immensely popular on the internet. In less than seven years, he expanded his main channel to 31 million subscribers and his second channel to 17 million.

German became so interested in making content for his YouTube channel after his success as a YouTuber. Then, for his band “Zudex” (later “Feeling Every Sunset”), he began to lose interest in writing music. He finally returned to music, though. After two former members of the band “Zudex” quit, they renamed themselves “Ancud.”

German Garmendia gets ideas for his videos from a number of sources in his everyday life. He records something interesting on his phone and saves the idea on his computer if he comes across something amusing. And, when it matches the new theme he’s working on, he employs it. It’s literally his one-of-a-kind mix of innocent satire focused on daily issues that everyone can relate to. And as a result, his YouTube channel has exploded in popularity.

German Garmendia’s Journey on Youtube

By late 2012, German’s channel had become the most popular Spanish-language channel. In early 2013, the channel became the first to crack the top ten most subscribed list. His subscription growth exploded in the same year, with an average of over a million new subscribers per month. As a result, he was the third most subscribed YouTuber in 2013, behind YouTube Spotlight and PewDiePie, the current most subscribed YouTuber.

All of the videos on the HolaSoyGerman channel had accumulated one billion cumulative views and over 14 million subscribers by the beginning of 2014. After Smosh, YouTube Spotlight, and PewDiePie, he became the fourth most subscribed site, despite not even being in the top 100 a year and a half ago.

On June 21, 2014, German’s “HolaSoyGerman” channel surpassed YouTube veterans Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla’s Smosh channel (which had been the most subscribed YouTube channel for less than a year) to become the second most subscribed user-generated channel of all time. Then, in early July 2015, he surpassed YouTube Spotlight to become the second most subscribed channel on YouTube overall, just over a year later.

He also earned MTV’s “Icon of the Year” award in August 2014, and won it again a year later, owing to German’s rapid channel development. Although the HolaSoyGerman channel has been the fifth most subscribed on YouTube since May 27, 2018, German is not spoken on the channel. Despite not uploading at all, the channel has over 140K subscribers every month, which is rare for most content creators.

YouTube
Garmendia, a German corporation, owned three YouTube channels. Apart from these three, he was also a music fan, as were his brother and friends. “German Garmendia” was the name of the YouTube channel he began. It was released on April 17, 2010, and has received 9,084,222 views to date. He posted his music on this channel, which is a music channel. On the other hand, he has only two videos on this site.

German, on the other hand, often makes fun of himself in his comic sketches, but not of others. He was bullied as a child, but he claims that he has no ill will against anyone and that his videos are made in good fun.

Dispute And Controversy

The success of German Garmendia has previously resulted in conflict. He was scheduled to attend a fan greeting in Telmex Digital Village in Zocalo, Mexico City, in April of 2014. The audience, on the other hand, was much too large for the occasion. Many people in the crowd passed out from heat exhaustion and had to be rescued.

Many people, however, refused to leave because they wanted to see Germany. Some were making their way past the barricades and into the tented area to see him and escape the heat. This incident resulted in multiple injuries, with a light element ultimately plunging and injuring nearly ten people.

After that, police helped the wounded and separated the remaining attendees. Despite the fact that German was unable to attend the event due to the incident, he later used his Youtube channel to express his condolences to those who were affected.

The English community, and particularly the Spanish community, has repeatedly claimed that German Garmendia employs bots. That is also the explanation for his huge number of subscribers.

A YouTuber named “LordDestroyer” found and screen captured a computer browser with a link to a bot website one day. It appeared at 0:40 in one of German’s first videos, titled “Internet Y Redes Sociales” (The Internet and Social Networks). LordDestructor quickly made a video demonstrating the proof. German, who had only been on for six months and already had hundreds of thousands of fans, had seen the hate comments on his videos at this stage.

Then he removed the part of his video that showed the browser, as well as hid the statistics for all videos for a while. Unfortunately, several Spanish YouTubers had already started making videos about the subject by that time. And alleging that he was cheating and stealing money, as well as the money of the audience.

Shortly after, German Garmendia released a video in which he said that he was simply “testing” the website to see how it worked. And he couldn’t care less for the people who despised him. He also mentioned that there was a global group of Spanish people who were doing something truly incredible with his channel.

To protect his reputation, LordDestructor made a video explaining what German said and then deleted his video about the bots. He finally left, however, due to the overwhelmingly negative reaction he got from German fans.
