History

2012

Born and raised in South Florida. Following an extended lurking phase, I opened two accounts: FredMayX2 (2009–2011) and, not even joking, XxXeoingTapaarXM265Xx (2011); the former housed horrendous Lazer Collection rips and the latter, an uncouth attempt at creating a MarbleHornets-inspired ARG series. Prior to 2011, AlvinYTP comprised the entirety of what I knew about the genre until I saw a Blue's Clues poop by AbsoluteBillion. Via the mercy of the site's recommendation algorithm at the time, a FishTitan64 video leapt from the wild into my supple 13-year-old eyeballs.

Everything that happened between that and year's end 2012 can't be adequately captured in words. I made YTP and formed the online ties that I did at a very sensitive, formative time in my life. All of the videos that I've since re-uploaded themselves reflect that period better than I can in language. Just for good measure, here's a streamed movie commentary of 'Black Devil Doll From Hell' hosted by Childhood sweetheart herself, a 14-year-old me, drdreadfuk, CreepahWeegie, and Mashu. Essentially, actual historical documents exist of this incredibly confused period of closeted, psychologically tumultuous adolescence. I don't exactly know how to feel about it. I can only describe it as a weird cocktail of mild disgust and moderate gratitude.

2013

That disgust carried over into the year when, upon reaching 1K subscribers, I closed my original account and deleted myself out of the community. For a week. Then, out of buyer's remorse, I opened TheArsenioGut and briefly repopulated it with my previously deleted videos before 86ing that one too.

My disillusionment with the community and the medium effected a pretty severe hedgehog's dilemma. Inspired by JabberCash assuming the BottleOfPlastic alias by underhandedly stealing an older pooper's identity, I took the liberty of aliasing as Burnie180, the comeback of an early Italian YTPer Grim800. I couldn't impersonate him, however, given that none of his videos remained on the site. So, I piggy-backed off this guy's corpse to clandestinely make videos. I told my closest friend in the community at that point, who in turn ratted me out. Thereafter ensued my closing that account and taking hiatus until I formed my current account ArseinthatGut in late fall 2013. (In the intervening years, YouTube altered its username scheme to integrate more closely with Google Brands, leaving /user/ArseinthatGut as a legacy URL and allowing me to reclaim the ArsenioGut name again. ♡)

2019

I made my final YouTube Poop—aptly titled—early this year. This platform and this community of incredibly talented and committed people were essential to my capacity and love for audiovisual manipulation. And to say I've outgrown this subculture and the medium that forms its foundation is an exercise in tautology. The format that a standard YTP demands, however, and the limitations arising from the context are stifling. Much of what I do from now on will run the gamut of audiovisual art.

That being said, however, I plan to become a full-time tennis player in the new decade. The format of a YouTube Poop Tennis Match® invites a more avant-garde, instead of a conventionally narrative, style of 𝑎𝑢𝑑𝑖𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, as those banana-taped disc jockeys at Art Basel Miami Beach put it.

Fans, Associates, and Influences

I dislike itemizing individual people. I've crossed paths with many truly delightful creatives in this community, all of varying levels of acquaintance, technique, and influence in my life; for me to list some would necessarily exclude so many others that are deserving of validation and respect. If you know me, love me, have influenced me, still talk to me, or have in any way made or continue to effect a tangible influence on my person and my life, you know who you are.
