Professional Life

Nathan Zed started his career in social media when he was still in school. A major factor that influenced his career decision was racism. Since he is Ethiopian, he was subjected to a lot of racist comments in the past. The fact that not many Ethiopian YouTubers had gained popularity back then also influenced his decision to start a YouTube career.

He created his self-titled YouTube channel on June 11, 2011. He chose “TheThirdPew” as his online pseudonym. However, he posted the first video on the channel, ‘Annoying Stereotypes,’ about six months later. The video featured him discussing human psychology and habits. Soon, he began uploading videos on a variety of content.

He has struggled with depression and anxiety in the past. Being an Ethiopian, he has encountered racist comments, too, on several occasions. These issues later became the subject of most of the content on his channel. He speaks about such social evils through his satirical videos. His video ‘You’re Not Good Enough’ featured him sharing his own experiences and struggles while growing up as an Ethiopian.

This video also led to the foundation of his merchandise line, ‘Good Enough,’ which he trades on several shopping sites. The merchandise line offers sweatshirts, hats, and other accessories, with his logo printed on them. He later started a musical story, which expressed the hardships and struggles of being a victim of racism. This four-part musical story consisted of selected tracks with visuals, all edited by him himself.

He also created a video segment, ‘YouTube Sings,’ where he compiled clips of YouTubers proposing words to songs. He has performed tracks such as ‘Get Lucky’ by Daft Punk and ‘Call Me Maybe’ by Carly Rae Jepsen in his ‘YouTube Sings’ videos.

Since May 2015, he has uploaded only a handful of videos.
