Mutahar "Muta" Anas (born May 1, 1994), also known as SomeOrdinaryGamers is a Canadian YouTuber, commentator, and streamer known for his Let's Play and investigation videos on YouTube personalities and cryptocurrency.[1] He has also been a host of SomeOrdinaryPodcast since 2021.
Career
[edit]YouTube
[edit]Anas began his career in 2012, uploading Let's Play videos, playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. These videos later branched into multiple series, such as "Haunted Gaming", "Nostalgic Gaming" and "Mutahar Plays". Haunted Gaming gained significant traction, prompting Anas to make more videos about various creepypastas.[2]
In 2015, he started exploring deep web, uploading his findings on his channel. Also since then, his style began slowly transitioning from Let's Play videos to commentary on various gaming, pop culture and political topics.[2]
On January 23, 2020, Anas posted a video investigating YouTuber JayStation after he uploaded a video purporting the death of his girlfriend.[3][4] Later in April, Anas uploaded a video about how Valorant's anti-cheat engine could be a security or privacy risk to consumers.[5]
In June 2021, Anas investigated the "Save the Kids" cryptocurrency promoted by members of FaZe Clan, with crypto journalist and YouTuber Coffeezilla.[6][7]
Anas dropped his sponsorship with Established Titles in December 2022 due to a controversy.[8]
In November 2023, Anas uploaded a video alongside YouTuber Karl Jobst investigating the Open Hand Foundation, led by gaming YouTuber Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil and founded by his family. The YouTubers discovered through public tax filings that the organization had withheld $655,520 accumulated in donations since 2014, despite claims from Khalil that the organization had given donations to various organizations for dementia research.[9][10]
Personal life
[edit]Anas is a strong supporter of Linux and uses it as a primary operating system, opting to use alternatives, like Windows or MacOS, under a virtual machine instead.[11]
In August 2024, Anas deleted his Twitter account, considering it "a total waste of time".[12] His account was later reactivated.
