Jack Massey Welsh (born 24 June 1996), more commonly known online as JackSucksAtLife, is a British YouTuber from Bishop Auckland. He was originally known for his Minecraft gaming videos, but is now most known for his commentary videos about YouTube Creator Awards, assisting other creators to earn Guinness World Records as well as his Tesla-centric car videos.
Early life[edit]
Jack Massey Welsh was born in England on 24 June 1996[1] and grew up in Bishop Auckland.[2]
Career[edit]
Welsh was originally known for his Minecraft content in 2016 when he was 19-years-old, attending conventions like Nethermined when he had just over 165 thousand subscribers.[3] However, he would later realise people were more interested in his comedy and commentary-style videos and moved away from gaming content. He also began making videos about his car, a Tesla Model 3 and in 2021, he had gained over 3 million subscribers across all his channels, after making YouTube content for over 8 years.[2] This new style of content from Welsh on his main channel, JackSucksAtLife, was described by Bloomberg UK as "whacky antics".[4]
In 2019, Welsh was selected as a guest at the 65th Insomnia Gaming Festival to do a meet and greet, which was held in Birmingham.[5][6]
In 2020, when Welsh had 1.3 million subscribers,[7] he acquired a Diamond Creator Award with content creator KSI's name on it, which he gained using an exploit on the Society Awards’ website, the producers of YouTube Creator Awards.[8][9][10] He also purchased PewDiePie's Red Diamond Creator Award and, separately, the briefcase in which it arrived in for £1,500 after it was found at a dumpster and listed on eBay.[11]
Welsh has created many different YouTube channels, all revolving around different genres of content and in 2020, he set a Guinness World Record for having the most YouTube channels with over 100,000 subscribers owned by an individual, which was originally 8, but has since increased to 11. Due to which he also features in the Guinness World Records Book 2022 and 2023.[12][13]
In January 2021, Welsh won FirstCar's "Young Driving Influencer of the Year" award,[14] after receiving over 75% of the votes for the award.[15]
As of 2023, he currently creates a variety of content across his many channels, with a large part of his content focusing on YouTube Creator Awards, Guinness World Records and other awards.[13]
