Online communities continue to mourn the unexpected passing of YouTube legend Alex "Technoblade," but some content creators like Owen "ItsOwen" took the opportunity to use the YouTuber's death to increase their viewership.

ItsOwen is a somewhat controversial figure in the YouTube community. He is mostly known for creating clickbait content and is notorious for self-promoting himself in the comments section of various small YouTube creator videos.

Soon after Technoblade's death, Owen uploaded a video titled MrBeast Final Goodbye To Technoblade, which fetched more than 800k views within the first 20 hours of its upload. The video also managed to hit the trending page of the video-sharing platform.

Owen's channel was terminated soon after, and the content creator took to Twitter to express his feelings.

Twitter user iJevin's (@iJevin) put out an update on Owen's antics, and it soon went viral, attracting 18k likes and over 100 replies.

Fans were delighted to hear that the controversial YouTuber's account was suspended thereafter, with many joking that only Techno was allowed to clickbait himself!

Some fans had sharp words for the 19-year-old content creator and stated that the death of a YouTube channel was less severe than the death of an actual person.

Some Twitter users made fun of Owen's recent Twitter updates:

Several community members called out the YouTube content creators' recent shenanigans:

Other Twitter users informed the community about a fake YouTube channel named DreamSMP Official, which was constantly uploading videos meant to clickbait Technoblade's demise.

Some fans did not understand why Owen's clickbait video was a trending video on the platform:

Earlier today, ItsOwen published a new update on his Twitter handle stating that his YouTube account with well over 1.5 million subscribers was wrongfully terminated for repeated violations of community guidelines.

At the time of writing, attempting to access the YouTube content creator's channel brought up the following message:

"This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices, and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations."

This is not the first time ItsOwens' channel on the Google-owned platform has been terminated. In 2018, community members speculated that his self-promotion spam, misleading videos, and Shout Out Sunday scams led to the ban of one of his older channels with over 60k followers.

Before getting banned, Owen had more than 3.51 million subscribers with 27 million channel views. He had uploaded over 130 videos since Jan 20, 2018.
