Background

Benjamin Dreyer Vestergaard, better known as Crainer, was born in Denmark to a family of Irish-English ethnicity with Danish ancestry. The world knows very little about his growing-up years. But his rise as a YouTube star is well-known. Crainer’s journey as a YouTuber is closely associated with two names: Lanceypooh and SSundee. Before YouTube, Crainer began streaming on Twitch as early as 2011. During this time, Crainer contacted Lanceypooh — one of the most famous Twitch streamers. The two ended up collaborating. Crainer didn’t have a large following yet. He steadily gained followers through his association with Lancey.

In 2014, Lancey left Twitch and decided to join YouTube instead, and his Twitch followers went with him in droves. Crainer followed suit, and the two reunited. Crainer and Lancey recorded Minecraft videos that became massively popular. At the same time, Crainer recorded with SSundee, who had 3 million subscribers at the time. The two conceptualized “SkyFactory” — a Minecraft series that lasted four years, from 2014 to 2019. As a duo, they were called Crundee. As a result of the collaboration. Crainer reached 1 million subscribers on YouTube. By the end of 2019, Crainer stopped recording with SSundee citing problems with time zone differences. In 2019, Crainer collaborated with Slogo on a “Golf It” gameplay video. The two recorded more videos together and eventually became close friends. A year later, they met Jelly, and the friends became a well-known trio by 2020.

Crainer has gained a somewhat dubious reputation for latching on to popular video creators to further his selfish interests. In 2020, Lanceypooh revealed that Crainer was responsible for creating a rift between him and SSundee. The fandom was outraged. Lanceypooh had famously taken Crainer under his wing when he was struggling to find his feet. The duo eventually talked through their issues and reconciled privately.
