Desmond Amofah, the YouTube content creator widely known as Etika, has been found dead, according to a statement from the New York Police Department. A search for the 29-year-old Brooklyn resident began last week when Amofah was reported missing after posting a troubling video on YouTube in which he discussed thoughts of suicide.

quote:

In April, Amofah livestreamed on Instagram a confrontation with the NYPD. According to a report from Kotaku, Amofah was threatening suicide, and was hospitalized. A month later, Amofah was hospitalized again after reportedly assaulting a police officer.

quote:

Amofah started streaming on YouTube in 2012, and became well-known for his focus on Nintendo-related content and entertaining Super Smash Bros. character reveal reaction videos. On YouTube, Amofah amassed more than 800,000 subscribers to his primary Etika channel. YouTube banned the Etika account in October 2018 after Amofah reportedly deleted the channel’s content and uploaded pornography to the platform, a violation of YouTube’s content guidelines

There are too many “youtubers” to keep up with. The only one with quality is kige.

Pretty well known streamer/YouTuber in the gaming community. He's been around since around 2010 ish. I watched him sparingly but he had some pretty funny videos. Really lost his marbles last year after posting porn vids on his YT account, which lead to his account getting temporarily deleted. Ended up getting it back but was strange ever since. Sad to see him go like this.
