In a candid interview, online personality N3on revealed his controversial past, sharing his biggest regret: faking his own death in a bid to gain YouTube traction. At just 14, N3on admits he failed to consider the long-term consequences of this extreme prank, driven by youthful recklessness and a desire for views. The stunt, which involved claiming surgical complications, led to widespread condolences and a surge in attention but eventually backfired with significant backlash and numerous dislikes once the truth emerged. Despite the short-lived spike in visibility, the lasting stigma of being "the kid that did that" lingered, impacting his reputation. However, N3on found redemption through a deal with Facebook, streaming 80 hours monthly, earning a steady income of five figures. He attributes part of his current success to these early experiences, recognizing their impact and utilizing them as learning opportunities in his ongoing digital career.
