I’d like to imagine someone standing in a Canadian grocery store and hearing a man go “Oh snappers! They have a sale on maple syrup!” 100% guarantee that’s Etho.
to be honest, i have yet to find something that isnt enterining to a 4 year old. 4 year olds get entertained with everything, you can even put the same episode of something to them in a loop and will watch the same episode 2 times like is the best thing to ever happen to them as long as it has moving figures on the screen
Imagine Etho trying to explain to the dad that he's not some creepy dude on the internet. You see I make videos for kids... well not kids specifically. I play this game called Minecraft, you know the blocky game. I record myself and post it online. Your kid probably watched one of those videos. I don't actually know your kid.
I was low key expecting Etho to say “ okay now that your kid knows my true identity, you’re never gonna see me again” considering how much he likes his privacy
Wait this is actually insane. The question he answered about his favorite NHL team was asked by me. Watching this just reminded me that I asked that during this stream.
I dunno wether this is what you would be intrested in, but iirc he still shows up regularly on friday night stabby, although he does not stream it himself
Now there is an ethical question: does the kid know enough ethics to not reveal the identity to the public? If I ever recognized an anonymous youtuber in public, you'd be sure I'll keep the secret to my grave. Maybe tell my family, but I would never even ask for a photo or anything, knowing how much the person cares for privacy. Let's be honest, Etho isn't the only camera-shy person on RUclips. Not even remotely. Not even among Hermits. Think Xisuma, think ZombieCleo. Those people never show their face or tell you their real name. There are many here in Czechia as well, one in particular, which I am 100% sure I would recognize in public if I heard him couple meters away from me, for example in public transport. That being said, don't be a creep. Don't specifically seek out any opportunity to recognize a famour youtuber that conceals their true identity to the public. If it happens, it happens, but don't specifically seek them out. It's definitely a stalkish behaviour and lemme tell you, it doesn't leave any good impression of you. And if it does happen randomly, respect their privacy. You may introduce yourself, tell them you recognized them by their voice, but don't make a scene, don't ask for a photo or anything, and definitely don't snap their picture from a distance in secret, even if it would be only for you and nobody else. There is a reason why they keep their identity a secret. Their own private reason. Don't force your way in. You may become friends, but don't force your way in.
Young children have a high auditory memory. This is why they can learn languages quickly. It makes sense the one person who has recognized him is a young child. Most adults if they met etho, would likely either not pick up on it, or dismiss the sense of familiarity.
I'm just curious what is your source for this claim? I could not find any results after googling simple questions such as "do children remember sounds better than adults?". The closest results I can find is that they memorize vocabulary lists better than adults, but this could have to do more with memorization itself.
@@veil6666 Yeah I had similar doubts about this claim, he seems to just be talking out his ass. There's a difference between recognizing sounds and somebody's particular cadence anyways.
@@veil6666 I basically read a bunch of articles on "perfect pitch" a phenomenon where children that learn music at an early age are able to classify notes by hearing them, which is near impossible for most adults. The consensus seems to be that children's auditory recognition and pitch memory are higher at that "critical period" in in the first 7 years of life, where such skills are useful for learning and remembering words and imitating speech patterns. To be clear this is a developing theory, and i don't know if there are any conclusive academic articles on it, i don't even think "auditory memory" is an actual academic term, but i just thought it sounded semanticlly accurate and cool.
@@kabobawsome Yes the association between the pitch and the note can be maintained through practice, but such associations cant be created by adults. The best they can have is relative pitch, where people can compare pitches and figure out the notes through that.
That kid: **makes friends at school** Friends: *wouldn’t it be so cool to meet Etho from Hermitcraft in real life?* Him: *oh I’m a million years infront you you buddy* Friend: *what the-*
I was mostly kidding to throw my team under the bus, but who knows? Maybe was right! Either way, he seems like a pretty private guy so we may not know for years if at all for sure.
@@quantumpassport3573ehh people underestimate how absurdly cold the Canadian prairies as a whole get. Even down in Montana it gets like -20 sometimes. I wouldn’t put all my stock in Edmonton specifically. But i think it’s abundantly clear that etho is chilling in the canadian prairies somewhere. I’m glad his private information was buried and snuffed out by this community. It’s far more magical and fun to theorize and ponder amongst each other. Everyone has an etho theory.
I don't care what Etho looks like, I think people put way too high of a value on knowing things like that. Plus an 11-year-old has better and more constructive things to do than to describe the appearance of a content creator to complete strangers, especially one that has made it clear that they don't want to be.
@@n0anime342 yeah it’s not too difficult to find his name. In fact I know his name and what he looks like although I will not spread it. What does someone gain out of doxing someone
The sports thing is the exact reason I don’t really care about watching sports. I loved playing soccer and baseball but the only time I enjoyed watching was when the Royals were winning back to back and won whatever the thing was in 2015. Great team that worked well together and everyone in Missouri knew at least half of the people on the team. A year later all of those players moved teams or went back to their home country and I haven’t heard of them since then, and the royals have done nothing but lose.
@@jaydenlara-duran3510 Well I'm sure they've done better more frequently than the royals lol. Royals have only won the world series in 1985 and 2015 lol
There are quite a few people asking about where the streams are. So here is a link of some of the secret streams that Etho did back in 2015. ruclips.net/p/PLOTdnqTHfkXlxFJLDSKIPNIydtC27KE8s This is all that I know of and if anymore are found I can make an updated playlist
@@Ravn73. this is ethos twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/ethotv?sr=a he hasn't streamed since November 2015. This is his playlist of old streams: ruclips.net/p/PLOTdnqTHfkXlxFJLDSKIPNIydtC27KE8s&EKLEiJECCKjOmKnC5IiRIQ
The reason some people get so into sports is because it's important to have something you care about and matters a lot to you, but doesn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things
Same, remember sethbling was live at the time and was telling people how Etho had a secret livestream goin on. Crazy how vivid I remember it like it was yesterday yet its been years
Why's YT reccomending this to everyone recently. All the comments I see are very recent. Maybe him starting a new Modded series has to do with it. Anyways, very interesting story. That kid is very lucky and as one comment pointed out, the only kid who knows what Etho looks like.
About the sports thing, it's actually related to the reason I support 100 Thieves. I used to be a fan of Optic because of Nadeshot, and now that Nadeshot is retired, he owns his own esports team, so regardless of the players who are playing, I get to be a Nadeshot fan.
I used to think this guy I played destiny with years and years ago was etho based on his voice. I confronted him about it and he denied denied denied. I was unsure what to think but most likely wrong
My whole thing about sport, is i dont even support a team, its just good to have something mildly interesting going on in the background while I drink and talk shit.
Answer for sports is much more complex. You can cheer for individual players and follow them, more commonly you cheer for a team. The team represents a city and fans often have ties to that city. Thats also why relocations can destroy a fans enthusiasm. You arent cheering for the st louis RAMS, youre cheering for the ST LOUIS rams. Plus the shared interest can be a point of bonding for people
Couldn't agree more on the sports. Used to like watching Blue Jays play. Was amazing when they won back to back pennants.... and then they all split up for other teams offering more money. College teams were more interesting to watch then. They always tried harder because never knew when an scout might be watching...
way to turn a 30 second clip into a 3 minute video... he talks about being recognized at then start then rambles on about sports for the next 3 minutes before starts talking about the title of the video again at 2:59
How strange. I feel like i can support a team because they represent a place, a community that i feel i being to. I don't know what draws people to support individual athletes.
I watch sports if I enjoy the sport itself, so mostly basketball. You can also root for your favorite players regardless of team. Other sports can be fun to watch if they're inherently interesting; for me that means football and tennis and not much else.
I always though of watching sports and rooting for a team as rooting for a story whether it's an old team making a resurgence or an underdog team coming from nowhere you are rooting for the story you think may unfold. I think you can apply the same logic to a player and follow them instead of a team. For instance I enjoy formula one I am a fan of Mclaren because they have a story I enjoy cheering for, an excellent legacy and a promising future. Each game/race is like a chapter in the story telling of great success or devastating failure.
