The gaming-YouTuber Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach has a plan to get the biggest podcast in the world on Apple and Spotify and replace Joe Rogan: He promises his fans nude pictures via OnlyFans, but only if they listen to his two podcasts. The money that comes in will be donated to a good cause. And the fans seem to be excited about the idea.
Who is Markiplier?
- The 33-year-old Mark Fischbach is one of the most successful gaming YouTubers in the world: His thing is showing horror games on YouTube and getting scared while doing it.
- With this act, the Hawaiian-born Markiplier is incredibly successful: He has 33.3 million subscribers on YouTube – his videos constantly get 2 million or 3 million views. After PewDiePie, he is the English-speaking gaming YouTuber with the most subscribers. He even has more than Dream.
- Markiplier runs the podcast “Distractible”, which ranks number 2 on Spotify in the US – but now it should reach number 1 and pass “The Joe Rogan Experience”.
Markiplier has been in the business since 2012, around the time the first streamers started:
“Tasteful” nude pictures for a good cause
This is his plan: Markiplier promises fans in a video to open an account on OnlyFans. The platform is known for influencers sharing adult content there:
If you’ve known my channel for a while, this isn’t a big surprise for you: You might think: Hey, there’s Mark, getting naked again even though no one asked. But if you’re new here, it might be confusing or scary. But let it be said: I know what I’m doing.
Markiplier says he will open an OnlyFans account and publish nude pictures of himself there: He had already published a calendar with “tasteful nudes” in 2018 and donated the proceeds to charity. This is also the plan for OnlyFans: nude photos and the money that comes in will be donated.
He will only start the channel if the fans fulfill his conditions:
- People need to listen to his podcast “Distractable” so much that it ranks number 1 on Apple and Spotify and he replaces Joe Rogan.
- People also need to listen to his new podcast “GO! My Favorite Sports Team” – he’s annoyed that the only episode without him was the most popular of the podcast. This podcast needs to become the number 1 podcast in the sports segment.
How are the fans reacting? The video has 5.4 million views and over 707,000 likes.
According to Kotaku, the internet is already “very excited” about the idea of seeing these pictures. There are numerous tweets on the hashtag:
The podcast “Distractable” is receiving boosted 5-star ratings on Apple with comments like:
- “Give us the OnlyFans account!” “
- “I’m here to fulfill the conditions”
- “I never liked podcasts, but this one changed my mind”
- “Fighting for a good cause by finally listening to Apple Podcasts.”
Who is Joe Rogan that he wants to replace? Joe Rogan (55) is a former comedian and UFC commentator who is enormously successful with his podcast: Rogan often addresses typical “male” topics such as martial arts, wilderness survival, or fitness in “The Joe Rogan Experience”. He also frequently interviews celebrities or experts – even experts with controversial views, such as Canadian professor Jordan Peterson, who diagnosed a “crisis of masculinity” and refused in 2016 to address students with the pronouns they preferred.
Rogan’s podcast is often described as “highly controversial”.
Although Twitch is the preferred platform for many gamers and often dominates discussions, there are also huge gaming influencers on YouTube:
