There was a brief moment in time where he changed his channel name and started doing skits only, which didn't do any good for him. To gain subscribers Morin began starting new series', including Minecraft Helping (which ended up being trolling), but none lasted more than two videos. Many from his fanbase decided to leave hate comments and started to unsubscribe since they only subscribed for the trolling.

Since his series ended, Morin's channel gradually began losing subscribers.

In April, 2016, he claimed he's discontinuing the series because he feels like he has to make the videos as a chore rather than doing it for fun. He attempted to restart the series as "Minecraft Trolling 2.0" on January 26, 2016, but only one video was posted in the series. On November 21, 2015, Morin posted his last trolling video part of his original series. That summer, his channel reached 1,000,000 subscribers. The series was reinstated, all past trolling videos became public, and Morin resumed his series. Persson ignored the issue at first wanting to calm down, but then asked the head of the EULA to change "trolling" to "griefing" as Morin does not actually grief (because he reinstates all the victims items in the end), and people like Morin are what make Minecraft Minecraft.

Despite Morin asking his fans not to petition to get the series back online as he claimed he would just discover new material, many fans blackmailed Markus Persson "Notch", the creator of Minecraft, as well as many other officials from Mojang. He contacted Mojang asking if this was true, and they confirmed yes. Earlier, John noticed the Minecraft EULA stated "trolling" is not allowed in the game. On February 27, 2014, Morin privated most of his trolling videos and posted a seven minute video explaining he will no longer continue trolling. After just one year, he had achieved over 100,000 subscribers. The Trolling series was the primary reason for Morin's success on YouTube. This is usually done off-camera, though Morin revealed himself doing it upon request from fans on Episode 68 in the series. Though scaring and confusing the player in the process, he undoes all damage he causes during the video (unless the victim is a hacker, in which he bans them instead), and gives the player diamonds as a reward.


On August 17, 2012, Morin began his long-lasting series and the pinnacle of his YouTube channel, "Minecraft Trolling", where he would go around his server and many others "trolling" players using a variety of Server Plugins (including Vanishing so the player can't see him in the process), usually ending his episodes disguising as Minecraft villain Herobrine. His second most popular video is a Skate 3 Challenge video. For each 100,000 subscriber milestone (with the exception of the 2,500,000 special), John would make a live video with his friends and create skits and activities based on suggestions from fans.Īs of now, Zek is doing Skate 3 videos rather than Minecraft, and has gained a new audience out of it, gaining subscribers once more, slowly.

Throughout YouTube, Morin had multiple other series, usually done with his friend Ryan "Swiggity Wiggity", including the Walking Dead Mod Pack and a series of parodies. Throughout his career, he began doing videos with a list Minecraft YouTubers such as SCGBarbarien, AntVenom, Gizzy Gazza, Bodil40, and many others most of these videos were ZexyZek's Minecraft game show "The Showdown", which involved two Minecraft YouTubers competeting in a bunch of Minecraft trivia and minigames. His next few videos were all Minecraft-based, included How-To videos, minigames, and mod reviews. He posted a series of videos, but deleted them because they were "unorganized" and "didn't have a purpose" His oldest current video was posted on July 26, 2012, a review for the "Sphax PureBD Craft" Texture Pack for Minecraft. John launched his YouTube channel on June 18, 2012.
