Gabriel and Originality

Originality is a fundamental concept of content creation that most of us with even a brief time on the Internet can understand. Outside of fangames and fanarts for IPs, if you want to make yourself known, you have to do something or come up with something original. Gabriel, however, is different. Due to his fundamentally-intrenched laziness, Gabriel rarely makes content that can be considered 'original', or never done before. Unfortunately for our favorite age-playing manchild, rehashing food review slop and poorly done podcasts is hardly original.

Creative bankruptcy and laziness

To be original, one must be creative. Unfortunately for ole' Gabe, he has rarely ever produced original material. While the concept of a 'food review' can't be considered something 'original' only done by one beginning content creator which first did it, Gabriel does his food reviews lazily. TikToks in which he reviews food have little to no editing, no audio correction, and a poor sense of cinematography. Despite that, the "so bad, it's good" effect worked in his favor, propelling him to online fame in 2022.

Outside of food reviews, Gabriel also does livestreams. While his set up is fairly average, the games he plays are already popular and within a hardly original format; had he not been a lolcow, his livestreams would get no traction at all, besides the ones where he tards out.

During the summer of 2024, Gabriel dipped his toes into podcasts. His signature and only podcast, the Hour of Joy, was and still is a flop, rife with accusations of him grooming his assistant and social media manager, Sia Jaeger. Unfortunately for ole' Gabe, this is hardly unoriginal either; Dr. Disrespect and MiniLadd did these before he could ever conceive of thinking about doing it.

In late August 2024, Gabriel decided to be interviewed by lolcowtubers SmokeyMcC and KiwiTapes. Gabriel is a terrible interviewee; he rarely paid attention to any of the questions asked by the interviewers, went off for hours on end to do his own thing, and was reading his chat for tens of minutes on end (as he was livestreaming). This (being a terrible interviewee) might be one of the only 'original' things he has ever done.
