The untimely death of YouTube legend Alex “Technoblade” is still being mourned by online communities, but some content producers, like Owen “ItsOwen,” used the occasion to boost their popularity.
In the YouTube community, ItsOwen is a personality that occasionally sparks controversy. He is notorious for self-promotion in the comments section of numerous minor YouTube creator videos and is best recognized for producing clickbait content.
Owen posted a video titled MrBeast Final Goodbye To Technoblade shortly after Technoblade passed away. The movie had more than 800k views in the first 20 hours of being uploaded. Additionally, the video was able to appear on the video-sharing website’s trending page.
