About the name
Fischbach named his channel Markiplier as a portmanteau of Mark and multiplier, because he would portray all the characters in his sketches, and later called it a really dumb name.
A change of course
Fischbach left college to focus on his growing online career, even though he was only two semesters short of graduating.
First role
Fischbach's first series was a Let's Play of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and within that year his channel passed 94,000 subscribers.
A first
On November 15, 2019, Fischbach started Unus Annus with fellow YouTuber Ethan Nestor, planning daily uploads for one year before deleting the channel and its videos. A final 12-hour live stream drew over 1.5 million concurrent viewers, and the channel was deleted on November 14, 2020.
