Glitch Hunters - Season 1, Episode 3: "I Faked It… Now I Start Fresh"

Episode Summary:

After two videos filled with "glitches" and mystery, Ethan (aka Byte) finally admits the truth—all the creepy stuff in his videos was staged. He hoped the fake glitches would boost his views, but it didn’t work. His subscriber count is still low, and most of his comments are people calling out his faked moments.

Determined to start fresh, Ethan creates a new Roblox account and decides to play Adopt Me!—without any staged glitches, just a chill, normal gaming session to prove he can still be entertaining without fake content.

Ethan’s YouTube Stats at the Start:

Subscribers: 48 subs

Views on Last Video: 173 views

Top Comment: "Bro, the ‘glitches’ were so fake 💀 just be yourself."

Dislikes: More than Likes

Video Content:

1️⃣ Honest Confession

"Alright, Byte-Verse, I gotta be real with y’all. I faked those glitches in my first two videos. I thought if I made things spooky and mysterious, people would sub, but… that didn’t happen."

Admits he used simple editing tricks and a friend on an alt account to create the creepy stuff in Roblox.

"I messed up. But instead of quitting, I’m gonna start fresh. No more fake stuff—just fun, real content."

2️⃣ Creating a New Roblox Account

Deletes his old Roblox account and makes a new one: Username: BytePlaysNew

Avatar: Simple, casual outfit instead of a try-hard cyberpunk look.

"Alright, new me, new Roblox… Let’s just chill and have fun."

3️⃣ Playing Roblox Adopt Me!

Joins Adopt Me! for the first time.

"Okay, I have no idea what I’m doing here… Why do I have a BABY STROLLER?!"

Adopts a random pet (a dog). Names it "NoFakeGlitches" as a joke.

Gets scammed by another player while trading. "Bro, I just got robbed! This game is actually real-life capitalism."

Funny interactions: Follows random rich players asking "Adopt me pls 😭".

Tries to roleplay as a serious parent but instantly loses his baby in the game.

Gets stuck in someone’s house and can’t get out.

4️⃣ Closing Thoughts & Realization

"Y’know what? I actually had fun today. No fake glitches, no weird edits, just vibing."

Asks viewers for game suggestions for the next episode.

Checks his sub count before ending the video… and sees he lost 3 subs. "Bruh. I try to be honest and I still lose subs?! The internet is wild, man."

Ethan’s YouTube Stats at the End of the Episode:

Subscribers: 45 subs (lost 3)

Views on Video: Less than 100 in the first few hours

Comments: Mixed reactions: "At least he admitted it. Respect." 👍

"Bro thinks we care, just play the game 💀."

"Try Bloxburg next!"

Vibes & Themes:

Redemption Arc Begins: Ethan realizes faking content won’t get him famous.

Funny & Relatable: Getting scammed in Roblox, messing around in Adopt Me!, and losing subs even after trying to be honest = peak small YouTuber struggles.

Setup for Next Episode: He now has a new direction—playing games genuinely and interacting with viewers.

Tease for Episode 4:

"Alright, since I suck at Adopt Me!, I’m gonna let YOU guys pick my next game. Comment below, and I’ll play whatever gets the most votes. Let’s do this the right way this time!"
