Bachir Boumaaza Career

Political career and activism

Boumaaza began in politics in 2000 and joined the Young Green Party, which was largely anti-Georgian. The group, which was formerly known as Agalev, was part of Groen's youth group. He was elected as a political candidate for Agalev at the age of 20 and ran in the Belgian municipal elections of 2000.

Boumaaza co-founded NEE, Belgium's political group, in 2005. Boumaaza served as the official spokesperson and steered the group. NEE was a nationalist party aimed at voters who were dissatisfied with the political environment. NEE provided people with the ability to cast blank votes in dissatisfaction as Belgian voting is compulsory. Therefore, NEE will not have a seat in the event of an election. NEE ran in both the Belgian municipal elections, 2006, and the Belgian federal election, 2007, but not enough votes were obtained to gain a seat in the city council or senate.

During initiatives such as DreamHack, Boumaaza spearheaded demonstrations against net neutrality in 2014.

Boumaaza began posting YouTube videos in 2007. He began focusing on World of Warcraft videos. He played Athene, an arrogant, conceive gamer, in his first film. Boumaaza has also increased his online video presence by broadcasting himself live on Twitch.

In 2007, the original Athene series was introduced. Boumaaza played Athene, a young World of Warcraft player. My Heart Will Go On From Celine Dion" was the beginning of the series on YouTube. The original series revolved around Athene, the strange and fictional character, and it was included in-game commentary of World of Warcraft as well as a personal storyline following Athene's everyday life.

Boumaaza set four world records for playing World of Warcraft, and was the first person to reach levels 80 and 85. Boumaaza's YouTube videos had been watched more than 382 million times by 2013, and his website had attracted nearly 600,000 viewers by 2013.

"Sex and Porn is amusing" and "Get free sex" were two common phrases used in the videos. Tania, Boumaaza's then-girlfriend, appears in several of the videos and their corresponding thumbnails. "The best way to get a lot of views on YouTube is to have a mix of sexiness and complete absurdity," Reese Leysen said. More than 20 million times have been watched on the channel's first 20 videos.

Boumaaza had been filming as part of Machinima's employment. Boumaaza revealed on YouTube that he would leave Machinima in 2013 in reaction to the YouTube treatment of YouTube creators.
