On May 31, 2023, [[Daniel Larson]] created an account on the platform '''Cameo''' as an alternate way of getting money. After [[World of T-Shirts]] made a Cameo page, Daniel's fans suggested that he should do the same. Eventually, these efforts would prove successful, as Daniel would create an account named '''daniellarsonsuperstar'''. | On May 31, 2023, [[Daniel Larson]] created an account on the platform '''Cameo''' as an alternate way of getting money.

Cameo is a website that allows one to pay celebrities to say a custom message, such as birthday wishes, congratulations, etc. The average price for one of these videos fluctuate, as you are given the ability to charge as much as you would like, and some people may charge more than others. The videos Daniel made on Cameo were of questionable quality, especially given their often expensive price, as he would frequently mispronounce words, and at times, not even follow the directions given to him. | ||

However, it | This would not serve him in the long run, as on August 16th, 2023, Daniel's account would soon be banned for unknown reasons. However, it is very likely that the reason behind this was Daniel scamming people via not fulfilling their requests, and taking their money. Despite attempts to come back to the website, Daniel's accounts are always quickly terminated. | ||

[[File:Cameo Price.png|400px|thumb|right|Daniel's Cameo prices over time, growing over 20x on June 18 before falling back down to somewhat normal levels.]]The initial price for a Cameo from Daniel started at $20.99, before quickly going up to $24.99, then to $59.99, then reportedly to as high as $85, presumably only getting higher due to his greed.
