YouTube has uploaded a tribute video on the occasion of Alex "Technoblade's" 9th year anniversary on the platform. The late YouTuber tragically passed away after succumbing to sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that spreads across one's body. Since passing away, the late YouTuber's father has uploaded two videos (one with fellow Minecrafter Dream) where he talks about his son.
Celebrating his incredible achievements, YouTube posted a video yesterday remembering the internet personality's legacy on the occasion of his channel being nine years old on the platform. In addition to recognizing his accomplishments, the video was also a fundraiser for the SFA (Sarcoma Foundation of America). The eponymous phrase included:
