Harchick's first channel is known as "MoldytoasterMedia"[5] and possesses a wide variety of low-quality videos. It is here that Harchick uploaded the longest YouTube video to date.[6][7][8] Harchick hosts a variety of accounts, ranging from a YouTube channel devoted to himself eating carrots[9], to a channel hosting over five thousand videos of himself drinking water.[10] As of November 2017, his combined view count surpasses a million on over twenty channels.
Non-related ventures include being a top-contributing Local Guide for Google Maps[11] or duct-taping his parents' home with six miles of tape[12][13][14], which he later revealed to be a hoax in a YouTube video.[15]
Harchick has been noticed by other channels as well. For example, Harchick was mentioned in two videos by Vsauce.[16] Harchick was also interviewed on Tosh.0[17] for his web-series called Let's Tape It.[18] Additionally, YouTuber Jonathan Mann, Guinness World Record holder for the most songs ever written, wrote a song about the MoldytoasterMedia channel.
