Anti-Defamation League — Sneako: five things to know

What the study found

A June 2026 Anti-Defamation League profile summarises the online career of the streamer Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy. It records that he began uploading gaming videos to YouTube in 2013 as a teenager, briefly worked for MrBeast, and pivoted to right-wing political commentary in the early 2020s, reaching an estimated audience of more than three million followers made up predominantly of men and boys. The profile notes he was banned from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Kick, that YouTube reinstated and remonetised his channel in late 2025, and that Australia denied him entry with a lifetime ban in May 2026; it also documents his collaborations with the white-supremacist streamer Nick Fuentes and antisemitic statements attributed to him on stream. ^[1]
