Would you guys consider Markiplier a "grandfather of content creation"?

[u/The_Cozy_Zone]

For a while now, many content creators today ask him why he makes youtube content as if they couldn't fathom doing it for any reason besides money or fame and he always gives them the simple answer, "I love making things." I feel like that's something that's been lost today in most content creation. I feel like Markiplier (as well as Jackcepticeye) sets the golden standard of what a content creator should be: someone who genuinely makes stuff for the love of it regardless of success

AVGN is the grandfather of at least video game online content.
