He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person. | ||
In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy. | In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]].

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day. | There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson.

Daniel's childhood was wrought with tenuous claims of neglect and alleged [[Pedophilia#Alleged Childhood Sexual Abuse|sexual abuse]].
