Wanting the extra income, Daniel promoted his Cameo on his YouTube community page. 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. | Wanting the extra income, Daniel promoted his Cameo on his YouTube community page.

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. | ||

On June 16, 2023, Daniel raised the price to $50. In regard to this, he posted on his YouTube community page, "I just had to update the minimum amount for cameos because most have been complete nonsense", although it is unclear what this means.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9YOmiapwewD1rh_GNIFTQ/community?lb=UgkxeqBOtoVIgMBUwln9QggMYOU1JC-Z5oCM</ref> | On June 16, 2023, Daniel raised the price to $50.

Later, on June | Later, on June 18, Daniel raised the price for a personal Cameo tenfold to $500. In another post to his YouTube community page, Daniel wrote, "I just had to change the price of the cameos due to the current situation and legal crap."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9YOmiapwewD1rh_GNIFTQ/community?lb=Ugkx5x7oPPeb69IMWsaYne2q-QJCOcXEohYN</ref> To go along with the cost of the Cameo itself, there was also a $99 booking fee, thus bringing the total cost of a Cameo to almost $600. Later that same day, Daniel raised the price of a single Cameo to $830. When taking into consideration the $99 booking fee, it would cost almost a thousand dollars for a Cameo from Daniel. The price of a single Cameo from Daniel raised and lowered several times more throughout the day, at one point reaching a maximum of $1,069,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14cypn1/is_he_insane/</ref> before lowering again to $900 which still totaled to almost $1,000 when including the booking fee.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14cwwrm/what_the_fuck_are_these_prices/</ref> | ||
The next day, on June 19, the price was brought back down to $50, though it was soon increased again to $100. The number of reviews has not changed much since he started rapidly changing his pricing. However, this does not necessarily mean that he has not sold a single Cameo since. On June 20, the price was lowered to $40. | The next day, on June 19, the price was brought back down to $50, though it was soon increased again to $100.

On June 27, Daniel lowered the price to $10 and on the same day uploaded a video thanking everyone for their support and stating that he made $5,000 in the past week.<ref>https://archive.org/details/xf2_Ee_Tgkg</ref> A day later, his bank started to automatically move money into his checking to pay for concert tickets.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7249867418795904298</ref> This became a financial crisis, which resulted in Daniel making many YouTube community posts and raising his cameo price up to $999 on June 28. | On June 27, Daniel lowered the price to $10 and on the same day uploaded a video thanking everyone for their support and stating that he made $5,000 in the past week.<ref>https://archive.org/details/xf2_Ee_Tgkg</ref> A day later, his bank started to automatically move money into his checking to pay for concert tickets.<ref>https://archive.org/details/7249867418795904298</ref> This became a financial crisis, which resulted in Daniel making many YouTube community posts and raising his cameo price up to $999 on June 28, 2023. | ||

This would be a sign of things to come, as eventually, Daniel would simply stop following prompts he was paid to read. He would, instead, blatantly ignore them, stick his tongue out at the screen, or just boldly state to the camera that he would not do the request. Daniel's time on Cameo showed a profound lack of understanding how the application worked. This would prove dangerous, as his reviews would tank to 2.96 stars, filled with people complaining about not having their request fulfilled and advising others to not waste their money on Daniel.<ref>https://archive.org/details/daniel-cameo-reviews-august-8-2023</ref> Daniel's inability to follow basic prompts would soon take a turn for the worst, as doing this was against Cameo's Terms of Service and would result in an almost instant suspension.

On August | On August 16, 2023, '''Daniel was suspended from Cameo'''. Although the exact reason is unknown, it is highly likely that Daniel was suspended after multiple reports regarding Daniel not fulfilling Cameo requests. Daniel, a few days before this, would receive a message from a troll claiming to work for Cameo, telling him to do the requests he was asked to do, or he'd be suspended. Even though this was most likely from a troll, this would be a sign of things to come. | ||
After his suspension, Daniel would take to his YouTube community tab to complain about his Cameo Suspension and place blame on others, mainly his then manager, Warren, for getting his Cameo account suspended.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/15svo65/it_seems_cameo_finally_took_him_down/</ref> | After his suspension, Daniel would take to his YouTube community tab to complain about his Cameo Suspension and place blame on others, mainly his then manager, Warren, for getting his Cameo account suspended.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/15svo65/it_seems_cameo_finally_took_him_down/</ref> | ||
