Typical Gamer hits milestone on YouTube

Canadian gamer Andre Rebelo rose to fame thanks to his GTA V videos. He had started off with Red Dead Redemption in 2008, but ultimately it was GTA V that brought him success. His videos would include tips, tricks, and Easter eggs from the game which helped him rank high. He currently uploads more content on Fortnite Battle Royale, Ghost of Tsushima, and more.

This 10 million mark is even more memorable because of a tweet he had posted years ago. Back in 2015, YouTube had announced a new diamond play button for channels that crossed 10 million subscribers. Typical Gamer was in awe of this announcement.
