A new movie comes out, you watch the trailer, and what does your brain do? It reminds you just how similar it is to that book you read a couple years back, or that movie you watched 6 years ago– we’re sick of songs sampled from songs ten times over, and movie plots recycled for the umpteenth time. We need something new and fresh to watch– something that actually hasn’t been done a million times. Meet Hamzah Saadah, known to the masses as AbsorberYT, who is bringing just that.
Coming from a small-town childhood in New Jersey, Hamzah was born on March 17, 2003. Growing up, Hamzah developed a deep love for entertaining others. From magic tricks, to rubber-band guitars, to video games, Hamzah simply loved to watch his actions bring a smile to everyone around him. One of these hobbies, video games, stuck a bit more than the others, and at the young age of 12, he started the YouTube channel AbsorberYT.
3 million subscribers later, AbsorberYT is cranking out absolute banger videos almost daily. Millions of views on each video, hundreds of thousands of bellowing comments and around a million likes can be seen on his channel. The performance of his content is absolutely remarkable for such a young man– at only 18 years old, AbsorberYT has gained more traction and attention than many will see in a lifetime, and for good reason!
On his YouTube channel, a wide variety of content can be viewed, free of charge. AbsorberYT posts videos containing hilarious montages of skillful video game gunplay, comedy skits with his friends, full-blown pranks on well-known celebrities, deep-dives into video game lore, and so much more! I’ve had the time to sit down myself and watch a few, and boy, they are addicting! What stood out to me the most where his comments– the overwhelming support AbsorberYT receives so consistently is tear-jerking. So many young adults take to his comment sections to explain how much he has inspired them to try something new, to work up the confidence to start their own channels, and thoughtful suggestions for content they would like to see on the channel in the future. To, figuratively, command an army of 3 million fans is a great responsibility, as every action and word may fall under scrutiny or fame. However, AbsorberYT has yet to blunder, and I honestly believe he is one of the best to entrust with this power.
When Hamzah isn’t posting on YouTube, he can be found on his TikTok or Twitch channels, with 5.2 million and 200,000 followers, respectively. On these platforms, he lets his aspirations shine through as he continues to perform magic tricks or show off a new song he wrote. Just recently, Hamzah has announced that he will be getting into acting very soon.
With so much content and promise, AbsorberYT is sure to reach the stars in the entertainment industry.
