'''Sea''' ('''planckLength''' in-game, '''SEA''' on YouTube, formerly known as '''Sea1997''') was a popular British YouTuber and former ''Geometry Dash'' player, known for his content surrounding ''Geometry Dash''<nowiki/>'s lore and community. His videos received acclaim for their relative professionalism and depth, with some of the most successful series on his channel being ''The Legends Series'', ''Maps from Hell Series'' and ''GD Theories''. Criticism was primarily targeted towards his sometimes unprofessional and pessimistic attitude, especially towards other players (highlighted by his diss track about [[Cyrillic]] and participation in one about [[ToshDeluxe]]), and the decline in the quality of his ''Geometry Dash''-related content. While not a frequent player or level creator, Sea kept in touch with the community thanks to his numerous videos and his own ''Geometry Dash'' 'news show' called ''G-News''.

Aside from ''Geometry Dash'', Sea also produces videos on topics such as outer space and conspiracies, most recently making an effort to push more videos unrelated to ''Geometry Dash''.

On March 20, 2019, Sea announced that he would quit ''Geometry Dash'' and content creation surrounding it,<ref>https://youtu.be/orhBWS_u2p0</ref> and would begin to unlist existing videos about the game and its community. Among reasons cited for this decision, Sea noted that his aforementioned content on outer space was much more rewarding personally and on the platform and that he had gained perspective by temporarily shutting himself from the mishaps of the ''Geometry Dash'' community. However, he will still occasionally be commenting on ''Geometry Dash'' videos from time to time, such as [[Riot]]'s completion of [[Athanatos]].

Sea's playlist containing his unlisted videos about Geometry Dash currently has 51 of the 221 videos privated, with most of them caused by YouTube's 2021 unlisted videos purge, where any unlisted video that was uploaded before 2017 would automatically become privated. There is currently only one surviving video before 2017, the Cyclic video of the Legends Series. Many videos were lost, with either no archive on The Wayback Machine or an archive with the actual video missing.

Revision as of 20:11, 12 February 2024
Template:GoodpageTemplate:Infobox PlayerSea (planckLength in-game, SEA on YouTube, formerly known as Sea1997) was a popular British YouTuber and former Geometry Dash player, known for his content surrounding Geometry Dash's lore and community. His videos received acclaim for their relative professionalism and depth, with some of the most successful series on his channel being The Legends Series, Maps from Hell Series and GD Theories, but criticism for his sometimes unprofessional and pessimistic attitude, especially towards other players (highlighted by his diss track about Cyrillic and participation in one about ToshDeluxe) and the decline in the quality of his Geometry Dash-related content. While not a frequent player or level creator, Sea kept in touch with the community thanks to his numerous videos and his own Geometry Dash 'news show' called G-News.
Aside from Geometry Dash, Sea also produces videos on topics such as outer space and conspiracies, most recently endeavouring to push more videos unrelated to Geometry Dash.
On 20 March 2019, Sea announced that he would quit Geometry Dash and content creation surrounding it,[1] and would begin to un-list existing videos about the game and its community. Among reasons cited for this decision, Sea noted that his previously mentioned content on outer space was much more rewarding personally and on the platform, and he had gained perspective by temporarily shutting himself from the mishaps of the Geometry Dash community. However, he will still occasionally comment on Geometry Dash videos from time to time, such as Riot's completion of Athanatos.
Sea's playlist containing his unlisted videos about Geometry Dash has 51 of the 221 videos privatised, most caused by YouTube's 2021 unlisted videos purge, where any unlisted video uploaded before 2017 would automatically become privatised. There is currently only one surviving video before 2017, the 'Cyclic' video of the Legends Series. Many videos were lost, with either no archive on The Wayback Machine or an archive with the actual video missing.
3xotiC Situation: An unknown player attempted and successfully convinced Fiire and Sylz that he is the former Top 1 player, 3xotiC, by impersonating him. He was quickly exposed and confessed a few weeks later, which caused Sea to make a video about this situation.[2]

The video was photoshopped, and Sea got so mad at Cyrillic that he had to make an entire diss track about him titled Wannabe.[5]
Diss Track Period: A trend of sending for Geometry Dash YouTubers, including himself, emerged. StarXD and Amn3sia weighed in with their diss tracks against himself and a few others here and there.
Sea vs WHErwin: A while after the Sea vs Pavlukivan drama ended, WHErwin made a video trying to defend Pavlukivan and claimed that Sea misinterpreted facts.
