YouTube career
2016-2021: Early career
On 6 May 2016, Rnaval, while using his mom's YouTube account, uploaded his first ever YouTube video. Rnaval would continue uploading using his mom's YouTube account for the next 4 years.
On 10 April 2020, Rnaval would finally upload outside his mom's YouTube account for the first time, on a channel he named "Windows XP".
In April 2021, Rnaval would start uploading to the "Windows XP" channel full time.
In May 2021, Rnaval would rebrand the "Windows XP" channel to "the_rnaval6000".
The username "the_rnaval6000" was first coined by Rnaval in 2020 while watching MrBeast. Rnaval confirmed this by saying this statement in his Discord server: "In 2020, my favorite YouTuber was MrBeast. I liked watching his videos. In fact, i liked watching his videos so much that i did research on MrBeast. That was when i found out that MrBeast's old YouTube name was "MrBeast6000" I thought 6000 was a cool number at the time, so i just took that number, then added the first letter of my first name (R) and my whole last name (Naval), and the username "rnaval6000" was born. But it doesn't end there. Because i was only 8 years old when i came up with the username in 2020, i thought it would be cool if i added a "the_" at the beginning of the username, hence, the_rnaval6000."
On 29 April 2021, Rnaval would start uploading gaming videos and skits, such as "FOOD WAR 2021", and "17 Stages Of A Pandemic".
2021: The Incident
On 19 December 2021, Rnaval's cousin, Marco, came to Rnaval's house, saying he needed to borrow Rnaval's laptop. Rnaval reluctantly let his cousin borrow his laptop. An hour later, Marco deleted Rnaval's channel, which had 91 subscribers before getting deleted that day. Immediately after the incident, Marco would send Rnaval discouraging texts in an attempt to try to make Rnaval quit YouTube. Rnaval immediately created a new channel (his current channel), under the same name.
