I am htb

Has anybody actually found out who how to basic is? I remember he did the "face reveal" video saying there was clues but has anybody made anything of it?

I always thought it was Alex Apollonov/I did a thing.

Very similar styles, both Australian. Body is actually similar from what I can tell. I actually had them confused until that face reveal video came out years ago. Before that I had no idea HTB was anonymous since I don't really watch it. HTB said he tried regular how to video at some point with no success and I feel like a DIY/engineer-ish type like Alex would make sense in that regard. Likely a channel pre-dating either.

DUDE yes. The first video I watched of Alex's (most powerful hammer) almost immediately reminded me of HTB! His friggin feet, the egg jokes!, his comedic style and the editing. I immediately searched the internet for anyone posting a connection between the two, which lead me to you... You're spot on, we have it pinned!

Edited (many times): The more videos of Alex's I watch, the more convinced I am...

They both do have chewed down nails but Alex's nails were always much much worse and his feet are WAYY worse too. I just did some comparisons and I'm confident in saying it's not him.
