Disclaimer: The following video contains a historical retelling of the time I decided to cancel myself.
And warning: it gets very stupid, very quickly.
Just thought I'd put that out there, let you know.
Cancelled. Verb.
Definition: To make someone or something irrelevant due to current drama.
or at least that's what I think it means, because I don't own a dictionary
and this is kind of like a new thing that's been happening with social media.
Cancel culture is... a strange thing.
A strange thing that we've all been witness to on social media at some point or another
Within a single evening, an internet personality's career that they build up for years upon years of their life could very well evaporate into thin air.
Sometimes with good reason... and sometimes for not that great a reason.
Although today is a totally different story because today I'm canceling myself!
That's right
I said the f**k word way too many times
I butcher too many beloved childhood characters
and I refuse to do a face reveal!
[GASPS]
I realized that my reign has got to come to an end.
So I urged my Twitter followers to tweet the hashtag "#saltyisoverparty"
in an attempt to finally get me canceled and taken off the internet forever!
I figured that this would be an interesting social experiment type deal,
to see if it was possible to cancel myself before anybody else has the chance.
The goal of this experiment: To hit number one on the trending tab in the United States
as to reveal my darker, more malevolent side to the entirety of Twitter for their judgment.
As well as fool a lot of different people into thinking that I actually got canceled.
So allow me to pose a question. Is it possible to cancel YOURSELF on social media?
Well today we're gonna find that out I guess; so without further ado open the game!
So I made a tweet. I made a tweet called "A statement regarding recent events" and you click it
It brings you to a page "A statement regarding recent events..."
"...Haha peepee poo poo hahahhaa"
[Salty laughing while reading]
"...Haha peepee poo poo hahahhaa"
and the now *laughing* #saltyisoverparty
is trending number 6!
[voice straining]
in the United States!
[Clapping after every word]
Can we get it to number one and trending in the United States by tonight?
We'll never know unless we try. Let's do it gamers!
We are 28th trending worldwide right now
Let's make stupid bullshit history.
People are sending me messages. They're like "Dude, why the fuck are you on trending?" and I'm like
"BOI???"
It's like people are like mad tweeting this out like crazy
Haha "Man, I can't believe what happened to Markiplier..."
"I'm shaking and crying right now"
me too
The- *chuckling* What is this?!
"That nasty boy salty. Poor fools that have no idea what is happening"
"Me trying to get revenge on salty for what he did to my wife"
[Salty trying to contain laughter]
"Me trying to get revenge on salty for what he did to my wife"
Wait, I need some royalty-free music to play in the background of this stream. Wait, here we go!
[Kevin MacLeod - Carefree]
*Salty dry laughs*
[Kevin MacLeod - Carefree]
This won't get annoying at all!
[Kevin MacLeod - Carefree]
[BASS BOOSTED Kevin MacLeod - Carefree]
AGHHHHHHHHHHHH
[BASS BOOSTED Kevin MacLeod - Carefree]
Oh my god Pasty made a response!
Pasty made a response lets go!
Wait, I need to- I need to pull this up...
I need to pull this up.
Pastry: "*Sigh*"
"I wish I didn't have to make this video but..."
"It's... It's time to cancel Salty. Saltydkdan
sent me an *extraordinarily* threatening DM
"In which he says, and I quote"
"'I hate pool floaties so god damn much'"
"'Just fucking swim moron'"
"And... I...
"I'm speechless. I'm with all of you. Salty is over."
We're still at number six, but that's a pretty good number all things considered.
"Salty my boy. You have gone too far"
I love that you guys are like this. That you guys are the most massive shitposters on the planet that we could pull something like this off.
"And I'm so proud of this community"
Refresh the page...
WE'RE NUMBER FIVE!
WE'RE NUMBER FIVE ON TRENDING!
Oh my god!
Number one in Canada?
Why are we number one in Canada?! I don't live in Canada! ...the fuck!?
Thank you guys so much.
But we're not done yet. We're not done yet.
We have to steal the moon!
"What Salty has done is absolutely insidious. Never before have I been more disgusted by a gamer. Truly saddening."
[Typing] How dare you all do this to me.
I don't even have a moment to defend myself.
This is totally NOT an epic gamer moment.
At first, the hashtag wasn't all that successful.
Sure we were on the trending tab, but we weren't even close to number one or even number two or three.
Yeah, we had accumulated a large number of tweets over a small period of time
But it was all about keeping up that momentum, something that my limited follower base just couldn't pull off single-handedly.
That was until something magical happened
Something I hadn't expected, but I very much welcomed.
Off in the distance, I could hear the clicking of keyboards and Korean pop music
That's right! It was the K-Pop stans! They had noticed the hashtag!
If you aren't aware, K-Pop stans will hop on literally any bandwagon regardless of prior knowledge of the subject,
if it means they get to promote their fave boy bands and girl groups.
This includes, of course, anything having to do with cancel culture.
K-Pop stans have been finding the hashtag. I don't even think- yeah no, none of these K-Pop stans are following me
I don't *laughing* they just found the hashtag!
"maybe if they were byun baekhyun they wouldn't have been cancelled"
[Laughing]
"maybe if there were byun baekhyun hey wouldn't have been cancelled"
[Failing to contain laughter]
"idk who salty is but #saltyisoverparty"
"Kpop stans 0.7 seconds after they hear #SaltyIsOverParty"
"Me clicking another weird hashtag like #saltyisoverparty and of course it's Kpop every. damn. time."
*Salty laughs*
There's so much! There is so much K-pop! Oh my god!
"Maybe if salty stanned loona he wouldn't be in this situation"
I was just sent this tweet:
"yo, kpop stans like fucjing chill with the posting in tags,"
"you ain't ginna convince anyone, some of us trying to find out what the fuck is happening u g h #saltyisoverparty"
[Laughing]
"you ain't ginna convince anyone, some of us trying to find out what the fuck is happening u g h #saltyisoverparty"
Wait I'm on four!?
No fucking way! No way!
I'M NUMBER THREE ON TRENDING, BITCH!
*smack*
HAHahaha!
I rate this social experiment a broken marriage out of ten.
Oh, you know what?
I know the perfect soundtrack for this cancelling!
[Projared Theme Song]
There we go!
[Projared Theme Song]
Yeah!
[Projared Theme Song]
"Salty has single-handedly taken over the world. We're fucked and we let it happen."
heeeeYUP!
NICKtendo: "Saltydkdan has..."
"...Really shown his true colors tonight. I just- this needs to be done"
"I need to show the rest of the world what this monster truly looks like."
"...is the face of Salty."
Salty: Oh shit.
Salty: OH SHIT!
NICK: "Yes. The rumors are true."
Salty: OH SHIT! OHHH SHIT!!!
NICK: "Yes. The rumors are true."
"Salty if you say something to me I will make a drawing of you and eat it"
Well what should we- what should we have him write on the picture before he eats it.
DAMN DANIEL
BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WHITE VANS
"Saltydkdan"
PFHAHAHAHA!
OH MY GOD!
NO- HAHAHAHAHAHA HA!
"fuck you!"
[Salty's Pure Laughter]
[Laughing]
Oh my fucking god!
[Laughing]
OH MY GOD HE SWALLOWED IT!
"So, I don't know if you guys have heard of a YouTube creator named Saltydkdan"
"But he's officially cancelled and allow me to inform you of how he was unfaithful in our marriage"
"I used to look up the salty and really enjoyed his content."
But after what he did I don't think I can bring myself to anymore. 
Take this L. Salty."
[Laughing]
T-TAKE THE L!
"I'm so happy this has finally come up on a large scale. The way he talks to people behind closed doors is fucking appalling"
"Please help us rid this man from the internet."
"you're a qt. Thank u, Salty 🙏🏽"
"Anytime fucker"
*Dry laughs*
This is the image that you should use for the saltyisoverparty tag. Look at this!
Who's the clown now?
Who's the clown now!?
"salty at this point.
*Plankton impression* "Don't let the flame die out!"
*Laughing*
"You deserve this you filthy man"
[Laughs]
Everybody's saying that I'm at two.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'M AT TWO!
I'M AT [incomprehensible]
[Voice straining]
number two trending...
We are so close at getting me to delete my entire online presence
I am almost fully canceled! Can we get my clout removed from my body?
Can you put a syringe into my arm and drain the clout from my blood vessels.
Can we overthrow #NationalGirlfriendDay?
"Hey guys. Thanks for coming to my live stream today we're gonna be canceling me and so far. It seems to be working."
"I am number two on trending. I'm kind of a big deal."
COUGH
Dude, if you told me a year ago that I would be here right now...
Uh...
Shitposting my way to number 1 on trending, I would not believe you.
Salty singing:  ♪ Creeper ♪
♪ Aww man ♪
♪ -Baby tonight~~ ♪
♪ The Creeper's tryin to steal all our stuff again ♪
I just like the idea of people being like
"W-What is this saltyisoverparty hashtag?"
and they find the stream and they click on it and they're like,
"okay, so like who's this Salty guy" and all they hear is me singing about how Minecraft creepers are gonna steal our stuff again
*Old man voice* Who is this Salty feller? I keep hearing about him on Twitter.com
Oh my god I'm number eight on worldwide trending. Apparently, I'm number eight. What the hell?
What the  *Witch cackling laughter*
Yup! I'm trending worldwide at number eight!
Can y'all believe this shit? I'm right between Miss Venezuela 2019 and...
...This katakana.
Yep.
A lot of good content here. I totally understand what this means.
Like it or not. He's spittin some real facts
Somebody asked me
"Why am I doing this? Why are you trying to cancel yourself?"
You see actually it's an art piece
I thought to myself
'You know cancel culture's so scary, but what if I as a young lad went on the interwebs and decided, you know what?
I can't be canceled if I cancel myself.'
This is my art house project.
My art house film. I'm going to destroy myself bit by bit.
All of my connections in the YouTube space will evaporate out of thin air, but at least it will be by my hand.
It was not by my own hand that I was given flesh...
... but it was by my own hand that I took myself out of this pitiful existence on the Internet!
[Heavy breathing, about to cry.]
[external internal screaming]
At this point things were going pretty well in my opinion
I was number two on trending and the tweets were starting to pile up at a pretty fast rate.
It may have been possible for me to actually pull this off.
Well, I mean until this happened.
"Wait, did you just say you wanted a face full of trumpet?"
"What do you mean face full of"
[Trumpet noise]
"*Screaming*"
I went down! Guys! I went down!
I went down!
No...
Come on!
Goddamn it Ariana Grande, why did you release your single now?!
You could have released it like tomorrow!
We dropped, we dropped mad hard.
We dropped mad hard. I'm not even on the worldwide trending anymore awwww.
Guys, I'm so pissed
Why the fuck did Ariana Grande have to drop her new single tonight of all nights?
How dare you put effort into original content when I'm trying to wipe my face off of the platform
There's absolutely no way we can beat Ariana.
I had to do something but I saw no other clear options. It was Ariana freakin Grande against a shitpost hashtag.
I mean she even had a Twitter moment attached to her trend, we were at a very clear disadvantage.
Though in my hastiness I had a twisted idea. One that could potentially get me fully canceled for real
I think that my cancellation has in itself,
been canceled.
But let's be real, we were dead in the water the moment Ariana showed up.
You win this time you angelic voice motherfu-
*cough, Cough*
Anyway, I don't think it was all for naught.
I mean come on, we made number two trending in the United States and that is no easy feat
and I mean number eight worldwide?
I wasn't even aiming for that shit, but damn if it wasn't cool. We accumulated 10,000 tweets in total in a single night
I'd say that pretty much accomplishes what I set out to do.
So, can you cancel yourself on social media?
Yeah, pretty much
If you want to try this experiment at home
Just get a substantial Twitter follower base that is full of shitposters and memers and that's all you need!
Yeah, simple experiment.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take an extended three-year hiatus from YouTube
you know since- since I canceled myself...
I... I don't think I thought this through, actually.
