So as a kid, many years ago, I was a casual fan of Sam T's work as Ebolaworld. I'd discovered him when he had pivoted to Taco-Man Plays, but all his old cartoons were still online--stuff like Linda, his George W Bush cartoons...in general he made a lot of political stuff from a left-wing perspective (honestly surprised he never got back into that), but also a lot of stuff that was just crass and absurd, like the Grandpa series and a Taco-Man themed parody of Night Trap. I remember reading that at some point he explicitly decided to stop making political stuff so his cartoons would be more enjoyable to a wider audience.Recently I've been wanting to rewatch his old stuff, curious how well it holds up. I'd noticed a few years back he'd rebranded to Samination and pretty much exclusively made Dead By Daylight parodies. But then I discovered that apparently he sold the Samination channel too. Seems like he sold it pretty recently, it's been active again as a compilation slop farm as of two weeks ago (after a stray vid from three months ago).It seems like Sam T was fairly prolific in the 2000s and early 2010s, especially on Newgrounds. Is there any other information I can find about how things went down with him? And also, is there an actual comprehensive catalog of all of Ebolaworld's old stuff that's NOT on a dusty Patreon? Pretty lame that he's locking 20 year old cartoons, which were free back then, behind a paywall.

>>153381615He got in a one-side pissfight with Homestar Runner and lost and I stopped caring what he had to say.
>>153381615He got ebola and died.
>>153382611I actually do remember that. Very embarrassing.
>>153382611QRD?I used to watch his shit back in the Newgrounds days and caught a bit of Taco-Man Plays, but it was obvious his creative juices were on the way out, eroded by years of trying to make money with youtube or whatever.
>>153381615He still does content sometimes, mostly animations, he did Tacoman Plays A Video Game for a while and ended it when he wanted too. Once in a blue moon I'll see one of his newer videos go viral. He's still kicking, just not pumping out as much. He's Autisticly obsessed with Dead By Daylight and has just been pumping animations for that.
I watched some Tacoman thing recently, it was hurting me to hear all the old platform stuff, like him making stuff for machinama and time passing. I'm sure he could make a Tacoman Vtuber and everyone would say it is shit.
>>153384799He did a Tacoman Plays live thing. But idk if that was pre-recorded though.
