Activity on YouTube

Start with let's play videos

His YouTube channel was launched on August 26, 2012 under the name Kl3ngan , here the number 3 in Leetspeak style symbolized the letter E. He later changed the spelling to Klengan in order to clear up misunderstandings with the pronunciation. In December 2012, he published the first YouTube videos in the Let's Play format . He played the open-world video game Minecraft while commenting on it, talking about current topics or answering questions. Later he occasionally produced these with guests such as Rewinside , AviveHD or BrokenThumbs . During the first half of 2016, Klengan devoted himself increasingly to playing indie games or browser games.

Realignment with a focus on satire

From summer 2016, fewer or no videos of the Let's Play format followed, which he justified in an interview with Tomekk with the development of YouTube. He commented on current trends and worked them up in formats such as oracles and AsiTube in a humorous and satirical way. These videos recorded several million clicks for the first time. In addition, there were reactions to Internet memes and comments as well as parodies .
