From NBA 2K Expert to Variety Streamer: How One Canadian Gamer Built a Multi-Million Follower Community
When you think about gaming content creators who've managed to carve out their own unique space, Din Muktar stands out as someone who's done exactly that. Better known as Agent00 to his millions of followers, this Canadian creator has built something special in the world of gaming entertainment. What started as a passion project has evolved into a full-fledged career that spans both YouTube and Twitch, with a community that genuinely seems to enjoy hanging out with him.
**The NBA 2K Master Who Branched Out**
Agent00 first made his mark in the NBA 2K community, and honestly, it's easy to see why he became such a go-to source for gameplay. His approach wasn't just about showing off skills – he'd dive deep into testing new features, breaking down what worked and what didn't, and even taking on the ambitious challenge of playing every single NBA 2K game in one marathon video. That particular video racked up over 6.2 million views, which tells you something about how much people appreciate his thorough, no-nonsense approach to game reviews.
**From Grand Theft Auto to Gaming Variety**
The journey started back in 2013 when he launched his YouTube channel with a Grand Theft Auto video. It's one of those humble beginning stories that feels genuine – no overnight success, just someone who loved gaming and wanted to share that passion. Over the years, he's evolved from focusing primarily on NBA 2K content to embracing variety gaming and "Just Chatting" streams. This shift shows a creator who's willing to grow with his audience rather than getting stuck in one lane.
**Building Community Across Platforms**
What's interesting about Agent00's streaming career is how he approached Twitch. While he had the channel for years, he didn't really commit to consistent streaming until 2022. Since then, he's managed to build up impressive numbers – averaging over 7,400 viewers per stream and accumulating more than 3,000 hours of streaming time. His Twitch presence feels different from his YouTube content, more relaxed and conversational, which makes sense given the platform's real-time interaction style.
**The AMP Connection and Current Impact**
Being part of the AMP collective has definitely amplified his reach, connecting him with other creators and expanding his audience beyond just gaming. At 29, he's found that sweet spot where he can be relatable to both younger viewers discovering gaming and older fans who've been following the NBA 2K scene for years. His Canadian background adds a different perspective to the largely American gaming creator landscape, and his willingness to share personal moments – like when his streaming equipment got lost during a trip to Ethiopia – makes him feel more like a friend than just another content creator.
