He found fame quickly by not only uploading on a daily basis, but also because of his unique style of video formats, which first included only vlogs and music videos, and later sketches and parodies. Matt's experience on YouTube granted him 50 subscribers in less than a month. He originally started his channel out as a vlog-based channel with rare chances of music videos, but soon updated to making frequent parodies, often about viral videos, and even video games. Matt stated that he doesn't use an editing program, and experiences all the work in the video by just plain acting. Matt's fans are not given an official name, thus he calls them simply "guys".

Since New Years', his videos have become shorter, and have a poor editing/recording software. Matt stated that soon he will be updating to record his old formating, meaning that he will post more gaming videos, and less vlogs/sketches.
