His father recorded himself reading the message and posted the video on YouTube. The video, called “so long nerds” has picked up over 62 million views and 7 million likes in just a week, becoming the most viewed and liked video on Technoblade’s channel.
“I hope you guys enjoyed my content and that I made some of you laugh, and I hope you all go on to live long, prosperous and happy lives because I love you guys,” Technoblade wrote in his message. Technoblade out, wrote the popular YouTuber at the end of his message.
Garnering over 13 million subscribers on YouTube and over 4 million followers on Twitter, he was one of the most popular Minecraft players. “From Technoblade’s earliest online days, he was always strategizing ways to delight and reward his audience – giving away online prizes, encouraging good sportsmanship, and most of all sharing his Minecraft adventures for entertainment and laughs,” his family says.

Technoblade is funding research to cure sarcoma, a disease that makes up about 15% of childhood cancers. The fundraiser has raised over $150,000.
