In the 2010s, there were some major German content creators on YouTube. One of them was Marcel KSFreakWhatElse
Dähne. Due to high tax debts, he left the internet as a content creator and has now returned with an update and plans for the future.
Who is this about? Marcel Dähne created his YouTube channel in 2012 and started publishing videos under his artist name KSFreakWhatElse – or also KSFreak – from then on. His content initially revolved around gaming, then shifted to lifestyle topics. His fans could also enjoy music from him again and again.
In the 2010s, KSFreak was among the scandal YouTubers
. He regularly filmed pranks and was known for the sexualization and insulting of women in his videos. He managed to gather over 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
From 2022, videos appeared on his YouTube channel very sporadically, as together with other YouTubers he eventually discovered that one must pay taxes on income as a self-employed person. This led to a very high sum of tax debts for KSFreak, forcing him to scale back his career as a YouTuber and work a regular job
.
Nevertheless, I am grateful
How is KSFreak doing today? In his latest YouTube video This is how I live today | Ksfreakwhatelse
, the former YouTuber talks about how he is currently doing. He proudly shows his apartment, where he lives with his wife and child. He repeatedly presents places in his home that he has crafted himself.
He also dedicates some words directly to his viewers:
You know, friends, even though I no longer have the hype, millions of views, and the money today, I am still grateful. Grateful that you enabled me to take this path back then, because that way I could find myself amidst all the chaos. After all this time, one great realization remains, namely that there are more important things in life. Be thankful for the life you are currently allowed to live, and be content, because whoever is content is rich.

What does KSFreak want to do in the future? Currently, KSFreak only works 4 days a week, leaving one day a week for his self-employment. He wants to use this day in the future to stream on Twitch. He referred to his YouTube channel in another video as dead
, when considering the view counts (Source: YouTube), which is why he does not want to pursue content creation as a full-time profession for now.
He plans to try streaming on Twitch without any pressure and see where the journey leads. KSFreak believes that entertainment is still one of his greatest strengths that he wants to utilize. In the future, viewers can follow him live on Twitch.
