2022

2022 was the 2nd year since Daniel's discovery and the first year of his homelessness.

The year kicked off with Daniel fleeing the Hype House Arc due to alleged abuse by Jonas and moving into an assisted-living apartment. Within two weeks of the year, he was evicted, marking the end of the Classic Era and the start of the Homeless Era. His mental health visibly declined. After a brief stint of housing in two different homes, both ending in eviction, Daniel returned to the streets. He began filming erratic content, including crying in bathroom stalls, punching himself in the genitals, and having a meltdown after losing his phone. He argued with a homeowner while trying to charge his phone on their porch and somehow ran a marathon. That summer, Daniel began living in hotel rooms, streaming on Twitch, and was diagnosed with trench foot. The infamous Toothbrush Incident also leaked during this time. After four months of homelessness, he secured housing through the Shields Foundation but was evicted again less than two months later following a destructive meltdown. The year ended with a violent meltdown in Bob's car after Daniel claimed a motel had threatened to kill him, prompting his flight to Los Angeles and the beginning of the Travel Arc.

Daniel began 2022 living in his assisted-living apartment, having fled the Hype House the previous month. However, tensions quickly escalated as he entered a feud with a user known as "Anti Chloe" and threatened to break down his wall due to a neighboring resident playing loud music. These outbursts led to his eviction just days into the new year, effectively ending the Classic Era and starting the Homeless Era. Now living on the streets, Daniel’s content became increasingly erratic. He infamously filmed a man asleep in a movie theater, referring to him as “Sleepy Joe,” and performed at a karaoke bar, which he declared a legitimate concert.
