Like many content creators, Waffler69 went beyond TikTok. He had his place on other social media platforms and would livestream on Twitch, which has not been touched in seven years, but was there in case he got “banned from TikTok Live,” which he used more often. He would use social media to connect with his audience, like a Discord server for the community.
The business of his work had expanded over the years. He started developing his own merchandise, like shirts and an all-purpose seasoning, which he would sign every bottle he sold. He opened the door for people to tip him on Cashapp and send things to his P.O. box.
Currently, no other details are known about his death. Other family members and friends have not made public statements.
