jschlatt (born 1999),[2][3] also known as Schlatt, is an American YouTuber, Twitch streamer, entrepreneur, and podcaster. He is best known for a variety of online content, including gaming, vlogging, reacting, and skits.[4] Schlatt is the current owner of GamerSupps[5] and a former co-owner of One True King.[6]

As of September 2024, Schlatt has a combined following of over 10 million subscribers on YouTube[a] and nearly 3 million combined followers on Twitch.[b]

Career

[edit]

YouTube

[edit]

Schlatt began creating YouTube videos in 2010, recording Call of Duty gameplay videos alongside his acquaintances at the time.[7] In July of 2013, the original jschlatt channel was created, with his first video being uploaded the following year. His content primarily consisted of video essays covering various topics of interest, including astronomy, technology, music, and gaming. On February 6, 2018, Schlatt uploaded a video titled "elon r u ok", which would go on to become his most popular video, and served as a catalyst for his career.[8][5]

During the earlier stages of his career, Schlatt remained a faceless content creator. He would later reveal his face after defeating the final boss of Minecraft on stream, in a video uploaded to his channel on September 26, 2019.[9]

Livestreaming

[edit]

Schlatt began streaming in June of 2018, playing a variety of different games,[10] most notably Cities: Skylines and Minecraft. On March 1, 2019, Schlatt joined SMPLive, a Minecraft server, which would be a pivotal turning point in his career.[11] Schlatt's involvement with the server surged his internet presence, gaining him thousands of new followers and subscribers.[12][11]

Beginning in December of 2019, Schlatt went on an unannounced hiatus from streaming for over 2 years. In the meantime, his internet presence grew larger and more prominent on YouTube, prompting fans and fellow collaborators to ask for a grand return to Twitch.[13] On December 16, 2021, Schlatt uploaded a video titled "i'm quitting youtube", in which he announced his return to streaming.[14][15]

Schlatt joined One True King in 2021 as a co-owner, appearing in various videos and livestreams hosted by the organization.[16] He left the company in 2022 to pursue his own goals.[17]

Podcasts

[edit]

Schlatt has been involved with a number of podcasts over his career, most notably Chuckle Sandwich[18] and Did Schlatt Win? (stylized in all caps), the former of which he co-hosted with fellow YouTuber Ted Nivison.[19]

Music

[edit]

On September 28, 2022, Schlatt and Ludwig Ahgren created the YouTube channel Lud and Schlatts Musical Emporium, a collaborative project aimed at providing royalty-free recordings of famous classical compositions, as well as original, Nintendo-inspired music, for use in content creation.[20][21][22]

"My Way" cover

[edit]
Main article: My Way § Jschlatt

On December 15, 2023, Schlatt released a cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in response to the large amount of artificial intelligence-created song covers utilizing his voice and likeness.[23][24] It was later taken down by Universal Music Group due to copyright concerns, but is currently available on other channels.[25]

Rammie

[edit]

The Rammie character debuted in 2017, created by Dana Clement for Schlatt's profile picture.[26][non-primary source needed] Schlatt has used the Rammie brand in multiple YouTooz products.[27]

Controversies

[edit]

On March 21, 2021, Schlatt uploaded a gameplay video on Jackbox Games' Survive the Internet. The original thumbnail had a poorly drawn face colored in black with the words 'blackface' next to it, resulting in accusations of racism.[28] In response, he changed the thumbnail to a poorly drawn depiction of the former X logo, then known as Twitter, with the words "Dumb Bird" written next to it. No further response was made, and relevancy of the dispute has since dissipated.[28][29]

In 2021, allegations against Schlatt were made after a tweet from 2018 resurfaced in which he replied "the face of allah." to a photo of Twitch streamer Scott Fisher. No response was made.[29]
