Technoblade's Farewell Is The Top Trending YouTube Video Of 2022

On July 1, 2022, a video called "Too Tall Nerds" was uploaded to the popular YouTube channel Minecraft Technoblade. In a farewell video released by the family announcing his death, he is seen reading a script written by Technoblade before paying his respects to his father. It almost immediately became the most viewed video on the platform, and YouTube announced in its year in review that the video was the most viewed video of 2022 with 87 million views.

YouTube talks about the most viewed videos to reflect the culture and nature of the platform, because if you just use the simple metric "most views", something like "Baby Shark" can top the charts every year. At the time of publication, the Technoblade channel had approximately 10.8 million subscribers. Now their number is 15.6 million people.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported my content over the years," said screenwriter Technoblade, who gave his name as Iskander. "If I had a hundred more lives, I think I'd be a technoblade every time, because those were the happiest years of my life."

The content creator has been a part of the Minecraft scene since 2013 and is known for his spells, PvP skills and friendly competition with Minecraft Superstar Dream. In 2021, Technoblade began talking to fans about his cancer diagnosis and opened up about the reality of his treatment, anticipating a similar joke. He once joked that limb-saving surgery could result in amputation.

The video ends with a description of Technoblade's father. "Our son had a very difficult time last year as he battled stage 4 cancer. But he didn't complain and continued to use his famous strategic mind to deal with what happened. I knew there were possibilities. It's unbelievable. The courage my son has shown in this. The journey is with him It's amazing for all of us who get to walk." It was a lesson. Thank you for sharing your journey doing what you love with your fans who love it."

The news was about the love and respect of the Minecraft community and the in-game respect by Mojang on the Minecraft loading screen; In honor of Technoblade's award-winning pig avatar.

Perhaps Technoblade's farewell pushed Dream's former rival "Hello, I'm a Dream" to third place on the chart with 47 million views.
