What Makes El Rubius Stand Out?

Along with having excellent comic timing and cool sense of humor, his videos are unique and simple. Though he faced tough competition initially by various gameplay videos on YouTube, he distinguished himself by creating a genre and made his content unique.

Since he is full of passion and enthusiasm, he has been able to appeal to a young audience base to his channel. He is free and candid and he literally knows what he is going to do.

Despite earning so much popularity and being a huge personality, the world still doesn’t know about several aspects of his life.
