00:00Before YouTube got popular, there was Ziz.
00:03Ziz, Ziz, bruh.
00:04He had an online presence that no one had.
00:06People were just mesmerized.
00:08Are you boring, bruh?
00:10By the age of 22, my little brother was gone.
00:13The true story needs to be told.
00:172006 was the year the social web broke through.
00:20There was no such thing as influencers.
00:22He was onto the algorithm before the algorithm was a thing.
00:24It's that time again, bruh, so it's good.
00:27He really did start the whole aesthetic era.
00:29His content inspired young men all over the world.
00:31We're all gonna make it, bruh, that's it.
00:32He just kicked so many boxes for what the world didn't have at the time.
00:36It made people feel like they could be capable of anything.
00:40Love him or hate him, his impact is being felt now.
00:45Behind that persona was my little brother, Ziz.
00:48He was bullied a little bit.
00:50People would comment on his body.
00:51But he always wanted fame.
00:54And then everything came so quickly and so intensely.
00:57You're a wanker.
00:58You couldn't deal with the anxiety.
01:00I'm like, bruh, you've gotta stop.
01:02If you're shredded, you can get away with anything, bruh.
01:06This is basically life around where he looked.
01:08And then you need to maintain that.
01:10I could see that slippery slope.
01:13His identity was shifting.
01:15There is no cis.
01:17People juggle all these conspiracies around.
01:19What you'll hear.
01:20But how did he actually die?
01:23If we put the definitive truth out there, how would you feel?
01:28God, this is hard.
01:30Surely he's not that silly.
01:31Like, don't do this.
01:33As was always honest, I wanna do the same.
01:37Like this or not, listen to me.
01:43If you had his head back then, you'd look hurt.
01:44For me, as was always consistent.
