Thunderbirds101

Origins

Back when Thunderbirds101 first joined YouTube on May 19, 2008, he had no intention of uploading videos of any kind. His first upload wasn't until June 23, 2008 (Microsoft Sam reads Stupid and Weird Signs). During this time, his channel had no real branding; instead, he took images and wallpapers from various video games and movies for his channel background and channel icon.

He has created more than two hundred videos. Many of his videos have received 10,000 plus views, while one - the original Microsoft Sam reads Stupid and Weird Signs - has collected over 450,000 views, currently standing as the most popular "Microsoft Sam reads Signs" video on YouTube in that category. He originally planned to upload "Microsoft Sam reads 10,000 digits of Pi" as his first video, but decided against it at the last minute. A few days after the original Stupid and Weird Signs video, he released the first video in the "Microsoft Sam reads Funny Windows Error Messages" miniseries, another series that became popular, especially parts two and four. After the miniseries ended, Thunderbirds101 began the very popular series Microsoft Sam reads Funny Windows Errors (Thunderbirds101).

Subscriber count

Within the first week on YouTube, he had a grand total of 3 subscribers. In July, two months later, that number rose slightly to 7. By November, the number leaped to 114. By June 2009, the number blasted past the 500 subscriber mark. On October 2, 2009, at 5:15 PM PDT, his channel smashed the 1000 subscriber count, RIOTAGAINSTWMG being the 1000th subscriber. On April 28, 2010, his channel smashed the 2000 subscriber milestone, and by July 2010, cruised to 2600+ subscribers. By July 2011, his channel had collected over 5500 subscribers, on pace to break the 6000 subscriber mark by possibly late August. In 2012 and in 2014, his channel lost hundreds of subscribers following a purge under YouTube's subscriber cleansing system (something YouTube is still notorious for even today). In August 2015 he entered the five-digit subscriber club with 10,000 subscribers.
