'''Management''' or '''Managers''' is an umbrella term that describes people and groups who label themselves as such who seek to influence Daniel under the guise of being a legitimate manager or management company. Some of Daniel's most notorious events have been caused by managers' influence.   

The management label is not to be confused with Daniel's actual [[Daniel Larson's case managers|''case managers'']], whose job it is to assist Daniel and provide resources for him. Rather, these managers are more often than not manipulative trolls who only seek to humiliate Daniel in exchange for clout. It is worth noting however that not all "managers" are created equal. Some do genuinely wish to help Daniel, and have often provided him with donations or good advice. However, these benevolent managers seem to be in the minority.  

Managers first appeared as early as mid-2020, when Daniel began going viral and groups of people would invite him to [[Zoom Meetings|Zoom meetings]] or Discord calls, attempting to troll him and make jokes. Many of these trolls had their names on Zoom or Discord set to well known record labels or talent agencies, and offered to sign him if he auditioned by doing irrational things. Some examples include reading off incriminating scripts or exposing himself. Daniel, with dreams of becoming a famous music star, would fall victim to these trolls very frequently, though his gullibility has gone down at least a little over time. These meetings were often recorded, which has led to many infamous clips of Daniel doing irrational things in order to become a [[Music Career|professional singer]].  

The trolling has gone much further than just Zoom meetings or Discord servers however. In fact, some of these trolls caused financial implications for Daniel. Such is seen in the infamous [[May 6th]] incident, their hijacking of Daniel's social media accounts, and their theft of royalties from his music. They have possibly even convinced him to do more extreme actions such as cutting off his housing/disability services; many of these claims lack proof though.

Somehow, Daniel continues to be fooled and allows new management to control him, even after dealing with countless managers.

Record labels are a type of management in which they ostensibly manage Daniel's [[Music Career|music career]]. However, Daniel ends up allowing them to control more aspects of his life, because it will help him become more famous (at least, that's what he's been told.)
