Biography
UTBH started his YouTube career in early 2018. Before that, he had worked as a graphic designer before moving to Canada, where he studied for two years before returning to Spain. It was there where he got the idea to open a YouTube channel, in the style of social critics like H3h3Productions, Jordan Peterson and Some Black Guy, who inspired his own nickname.
His first video, which addressed the consequences of the Me Too movement, was uploaded to YouTube on 2 February 2018. He introduced then his characteristic visual style, in which he monologues to the camera while wearing a white lycra mask (nicknamed by himself his "human condom" and based on Batman's attire), a black hoodie and plastic sunglasses. As he explained later, he chose this appearance not only to hide his identity and stand out, but also to divest himself of his individuality and to represent ironically the "white heterosexual" collective in the gender perspective's own terms. The mentioned video attracted a great deal of views and subscribers, which only increased with his next productions, reaching 140 000 in only seven months and allowing him to open a Patreon account.
His early videos also established his channel's theme, which orbits around building criticism of modern feminism through research material, as well as verbalizing "that which many think but don't dare to say." UTBH attributed his success to his addressment of those topics, which didn't impede him from attracting controversy from related circles, to the point of receiving death threats with some frequency. Despite the many political affiliations media has speculated about him, he declared himself as a YouTuber for both left and right-wing politics. His channel's impact also promoved the presence of other Spanish video producers with the same thematic, among them the YouTuber and PhD in science Xeno Shenlong.
In May 2019, UTBH became mediatic after his participation in the Free Market Road Show in Castellón was subjected to an escrache. The incident's authorship fell on feminist association Subversives, which had previously called to boycott the act on the saying it was "fascist and misogynist," and whose members had to be driven outside by the National Police Corps. Some days later, the YouTuber uploaded a video about the incident to deflect the accusations.
The same month, UTBH released his first book, Prohibir la manzana y encontrar la serpiente, written along with fellow YouTuber Leyre Khyal.
