White started making YouTube videos in 2006, when he most often uploaded videos discussing anime, as well as AMVs and GMVs to his old channels.[21] He created his penguinz0 YouTube channel on May 7, 2007.[22] During this time, he streamed live on Justin.tv from late 2009 to early 2010.[23]

In 2013, White was cited by Tubefilter as panning YouTube's new comment system, which required a Google+ account to leave comments on videos.[24] In early 2015, White began speaking about various topics, including internet drama. He drew attention from media outlets for his commentary videos,[25] which were often of discourse about online platforms and considerably critical of YouTube's policies.[26] [27] In December 2016, White began co-hosting The Official Podcast with fellow Internet personalities Jackson Clarke, Andrew Wagenheim and Kaya Orsan.[28]

Media outlets sparsely referred to White's gameplay videos; his 2015 video on was referenced by The Daily Star.[29] The Daily Dot wrote that White is known for his "sardonic commentary."[30] In February 2016, The Guardian included his video reaction to the Fine Brothers' React World controversy in their coverage of the situation.[31] Kotaku referred to White's 2017 video demonstrating character customization in .[32]

In March 2020; due to COVID-19 lockdown measures, he co-hosted an online Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament[39] on his Twitch channel with fellow YouTuber Alpharad.[40] [41]

In late 2020, White's popularity grew due to his Twitch streams about chess and Among Us (during its 2020 popularity spike) with popular streamers such as Sykkuno, Pokimane, Nigahiga, Valkyrae, Trainwreckstv, and Disguised Toast.[42] [43] In June, White participated in the first PogChamps chess tournament, which Chess.com hosted.[44] [45] He won "one of the more anticipated games" in the tournament, beating fellow Twitch streamer xQc in six moves.[46] According to Dot Esports, the game was one of the five "biggest moments in streaming from 2020" and the clip of White's victory became one of the most-viewed in Twitch history, gaining over 1.9 million views by December 24, 2020.[47] White won the tournament's consolation bracket.[48] [49] In late October, White participated in U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Among Us live streams.[43] [50] [51]

On February 22, 2021, former YouTuber MaximilianMus deleted his YouTube channel after White labeled him "the worst YouTuber" in one of his videos.[57] White was critical of Mus for maliciously raiding Twitch channels[58] and claimed that Mus' audience had shared child pornography via Discord servers and his subreddit. In May of that year, Mus restored his channel and accused White of slander.[59] In October 2021, White participated in a Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl charity tournament hosted by Alpharad and Coney of Panda Global.[60] [61]

On July 31, 2024, White announced that he would be stepping away from The Official Podcast and The Red Thread "to scale back his time spent on the internet", amid controversy regarding Orsan and arguments with streamer Sneako.[62]
