Fans wonder why Markiplier moved to LA

Markiplier was originally born in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., and moved to Los Angeles in 2014 after he was listed on NewMediaRockstars Top 100 Channels and ranked at number six. He wanted to be closer to the resources required to grow his channel quickly.

Markiplier had gained new friends like CrankGameplays, aka Ethan, and Tyler Scheid. They continued to create content until Tyler had branched off more, which then led to the creation of Unnus Annus, a web journal of Ethan and Mark's that consisted of posting daily and trying something new in each video before the year ended and the channel was deleted.

The words Unnus Annus are Latin for one year. Since the end of the channel, the two have moved on and gone back to their original channels, almost like the account never existed.

Markiplier's rise to fame

Markiplier had first set up his YouTube channel in 2012, which was a good emotional outlet. At the time, he was a medical engineering student at the University of Cincinnati. Markiplier had then been fired from his job, broken up with, and discovered a tumor in his adrenal gland.

Markiplier started playing indie survival horror games, which began to catch people's attention. His reactions to jumpscares and noises always took away the fear factor of the game as he would throw his headset off. He then quickly became one of the biggest YouTubers on the platform.

Five Nights at Freddy's, as mentioned before, was one of the main games to kick-start his career. As the game grew, so did he, doing musicals with Random Encounters and claiming his crown as the king of FNAF every time a new game came out.
