-Biography- Born in 1999, on the 1st of June, Alexander "Technoblade" was an American Minecraft Youtuber who made content from late 2013 until his death in mid 2022. He was one of the most famous Minecrafters. Growing up, he played Minecraft, getting better and better. He had ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), and was an atheist. In a 2018 video, he said he would be going to college. Then, he dropped out of college in 2019, and decided he'd dedicate the rest of his career making Minecraft YouTube content. After a few months of posting, Technoblade had rose in popularity, and gained thousands of subscribers. By 2021, a year before his death, he had over 10,000,000 subscribers, and made over 10-40 thousand dollars creating content. On August 27, 2021, while making a video, he noticed a swelling in his arm. Later that day, he discovered he had a rare disease called metastatic sarcoma, which only a few adults had gotten over that last (almost!) decade since Technoblade had started posting. Technoblade had chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and they proved unsuccessful. As a result of this, other famous Minecraft Youtubers had been donating to cancer research, including the one and only Dream, who donated 21,409 dollars. In December 2021, he underwent a successful limb salvage operation. Technoblade advised his viewers to wear face masks and become vaccinated against COVID-19, as it was relevant to his immunodeficiency at the time. In 2022, on June 30, Technoblade had died. His father posted a final video of Technoblade's. It had given an announcement that Technoblade had died, and stated a bunch of other things, including that merchandising sales would go to the Sarcoma Foundation of America, and his siblings' college educations. It ended with a written message from Technoblade's mother. Technoblade had planned to script the video himself, but his body did not agree, and he died before he could film the video. The title was "So long nerds". Later that day, the announcement of his death became the top trending video on YouTube, and also became a trending topic on Twitter. It remained on YouTube's trending page, and within it's first 24 hours reached 30 million views, and fully had 8 million likes. Other Minecraft Youtubers had expressed their condolences and support for their friend. Elon Musk had also expressed similar feelings for Technoblade. Technoblade's death shocked and saddened the YouTube community. They had lost a huge YouTuber. There were many tributes to Technoblade. The most famous one had the line "Technoblade never dies.", and is still very popular today. Technoblade had a large and famous quote before his death that is still remembered to this date. -More- •Would you like to be Technoblade?• Honestly, y'all might think I'd be sad writing about this. But instead I think about what it would be like to be Technoblade. It would be good. You'd constantly be getting mobbed for autographs, and have a huge fanbase. Sure, you'd constantly have to entertain the community. But it would all be worth it. I didn't know about Technoblade until late 2024. Technoblade inspired us all. Until next time! -Questions you might have- Q: Why didn't the hospital take better care of him? A: Because he was inflicted with a rare disease that doctors know little about, and it had already spread to his lungs. Q: Why was Technoblade named, well, Technoblade? A: Because he thought it sounded cool, and he pointed out that he saw someone else use it during his childhood, and "borrowed" the username.
