Nico Kenn De Balinthazy / Sneako
His earliest videos are almost exactly 10 years old, and feature him as a young teen/tween playing vidya games and talking about politics. These tropes were common for the time and didn't garner him a substantial amount of viewers. These early videos can give a glimpse into the real Sneako. He was a goofy kid sharing political opinions that you would expect from a Filipino-American household. The majority of his videos are still up (archive) from what I gather. The following are some examples of his early content

About three years later, Sneako would upload his first video that would receive over one-million views. The thumbnail features Sneako shaving half his hair off, as if he's having a Brittney moment.

This video shows young Sneako critiquing pop culture's obsession with likes, retweets, and reTruths. His criticisms are interspersed with clips of him shaving his head for what I can only assume to be viewed as shock content in the young and innocent time of the early 2010s. An all around fine video, and if that's all he produced then he wouldn't have a thread
Part 2: Young Joker
He became mostly inactive during his transition from highschool to college, uploading only a few videos over the course of several years. Those videos continued his critiques on society, but with an increasingly unhinged angle that made people wonder if he was truly maladjusted or acting up for the views

Once he was old enough and began attending university, he went down a path familiar to many college youths; having engaged in drugs, alcohol, wahmen, etc. However, Sneako had a fan who was an up-and-coming Youtuber: Mr. Beast. Sneako began working for Mr. Beast for a short time. The details are not fully clear, but by most accounts Sneako had an ego trip and felt slighted that Mr. Beast's account took off while he was sitting in the dust. Sneako released a drama video dissing Mr. Beast but deleted it after five minutes, because Mr. Beast called him and convinced him to touch grass.
There are a few recounts of the story, here is Sneako's side

These videos mark his return. Here he explains he made mistakes and sought to correct his errors. At the same time, it seems his full-on frosted tip internet Joker transformation was complete. That is when we enter Brittney Stage 2

These days he spends most of his time honing in and critiquing society in an over-the-top comical way. His current videos are more long-form, so I will only link a couple. They are all up on his Shneako (archive) secondary Youtube channel

Part 3: Old Joke
In the last two years since his return, Sneako has garnered some controversy he's needed to explain.
Here is Sneako discussing his tryst with being a cuck "for three thrusts", and his current open relationship

The funniest part about Sneako isn't necessarily his content, but the anger he arouses in people across the internet

In conclusion, Sneako was a normal mid-tier Youtuber who shared their political thoughts and personal opinions. He realized early on that controversy garners views. Although as time goes on it becomes harder to see where the character ends and the person begins. He's burned a lot of bridges and lost business opportunities due to his failings. He is particularly honest at times about his thoughts and social struggles, especially when they aren't popular positions. While he won't often engage in self-improvement, he's quick to address some of his character flaws. He's also quick to address the flaws in others, and that causes people to seethe. As soon as someone sees a video about him, he is quick to leave his rebuttal.
That's when he's at his best. His raw form watching people roast him is nothing short of entertaining. If you have an hour, watch this
