Breaking the 10 Million Subscriber Mark – Continued Growth

In 2015, Markiplier started living with fellow YouTubers Ryan Maggee and Daniel Kyre, who ran the comedy sketch YouTube channel Cyndago. Many of Cyndago’s videos featured Markiplier, however the group was soon disbanded after Kyre’s death, and Markiplier then took a brief hiatus, and soon returned later in October 2015, and his YouTube channel would soon reach 10 million subscribers. After a few months, he was hospitalized suffering a transient ischemic attack after drinking alcohol, caused by his body lacking an enzyme important to the process of breaking down alcohol. Due to this, he ended any series involving alcohol, including “Drunk Minecraft”.

He then dyed his hair pink for charity along with fellow YouTuber Jackspeticeye. Afterwards, he co-hosted the South by Southwest (SXSW) Gaming Awards) before signing to Maker Studios subnetwork Revelmode which originally consisted of popular YouTuber PewDiePie. In 2016, Markiplier started focusing more on comedy sketches, and posted an interactive “Choose Your Own Adventure” video entitled “A Date with Markiplier” which surpassed 15 million views. In 2016, he created a team which consisted of his friends and girlfriend which helped him to produce better quality videos and sketches.
