YouTube Career
Ssundee started his YouTube career on November 27 2009, when he created his YouTube channel. His first video was posted more than one year later, on September 24 2010. The video was the gameplay of Minecraft titled “Minecraft Rollercoaster! w/ SSundee”. On February 28 2013, Ian introduced his alter-ego Derp Ssundee in a video called “Minecraft Mods - Corruption Dimension Mod - Mobs, Boss, Items”.
Stapleton joined Minecraft gaming group Team Crafted in 2013. Thanks to that, Ssundee gained a massive amount of new followers and subscribers and became one of the most successfull Minecraft YouTubers in the world. In August 2013, Ssundee surpassed the milestone of 1 million subscribers. Ian decided to leave Team Crafted for unknown reasons.
Ian collaborated with fellow YouTuber Lanceypooh in November 2013. They uploaded the video “Minecraft SuperCraft Brost 45”. After that, they started making more videos together and even started their own joint Minecraft series. Fans began to call them Landee, and when Ssundee used his alter-ego Derp Ssundee, Lanceypooh used his own alter-ego, Eddy.
Lancey and Ian became friends, and they met in person in March 2014. However, something happened, and they stopped creating videos together, and they were in a fight for a long time. In 2020, Lancey uploaded a video in which he said they stopped recording together because they had wrong information at the time and are no longer fighting. During these collaborations, Ssundee gained 2 million subscribers.
After a “breakup” with Lanceypooh, Ssundee started collaborating with small YouTuber Crainer. They received a lot of hate at first when they began a series called “SkyFactory”. His community got used to them over time, and the series was popular. Ssundee hit the milestone of 3 million subscribers by the end of 2014.
Stapleton took hiatus from YouTube for almost four months, from December 17, 2017, to April 17, 2018.

Ssundee posted his first gameplay video on April 18, 2018, and again started uploading every day.
