Cunningham is mostly "controversy-free" from major drama, with minor criticism for his click-bait video thumbnails.[2]
Early life and education
Caylus Cunningham was born on August 13, 1997, in Spokane, Washington at the MultiCare Valley Hospital. He was born to Shelly Cunningham and Jamey Cunningham, and raised in the same area of where he was birthed. He grew up with two older brothers Jake Cunningham (27) and Kegan Cunningham (30).[3]
Cunningham attended Central Valley High School and was part of the Class of 2015.[4] He then later moved to Los Angeles, California to begin his YouTube career.
Career
2011–2013: Early years
On August 3, 2011, Cunningham created his first channel named "CCunningham1423",[b] in which he experimented with different types of content, posting his first video, which was a skateboarding montage filmed in his backyard. He also tried creating gaming videos, drawing inspiration from channels like FaZe Clan.[5]
While his early efforts were more of a hobby than a dedicated career, he persisted in developing his skills and exploring new ideas, ultimately laying the groundwork for his future success in the years to come.[6]
2015–2017: Engaging viewers
After creating his main "Infinite Lists" channel in late 2014, Cunningham began building his subscriber base and refining his content strategy. A key turning point during this period was the rise of the water bottle flipping trend in 2016.[7] Cunningham capitalized on this phenomenon, creating engaging videos that resonated with viewers and helped him gain widespread recognition.
This era saw his channel gain considerable traction, moving beyond early experiments with skateboarding and gaming to establish his niche within the larger YouTube community. During these years, he focused on creating entertaining and sometimes challenge-based videos that helped solidify his presence as a prominent figure on the platform.
2018–2020: Rise in gaming
During this period, Cunningham saw a significant rise in his focus on gaming content, which played a crucial role in his career development. In 2018, he made a strategic move to Los Angeles, California, specifically to collaborate with more YouTubers and work closely with his network, Broadband TV, and various brands.[8] This relocation to a hub for content creators provided him with new opportunities for growth and exposure.
Cunningham continued to produce his popular list-style videos on his main "Infinite Lists" channel, but also began dedicating more attention to gaming. He developed a separate gaming channel called "Caylus," which amassed millions of subscribers. This allowed him to cater to a dedicated gaming audience while keeping his main channel focused on broader entertainment content. This strategic diversification enabled him to expand his reach within the YouTube community and solidify his position as a prominent figure in both the list and gaming niches.[9]
2021–present: Reaction content
As Cunningham's career progressed into this timeframe, his content saw a notable shift towards reaction-based videos, becoming a significant part of his presence on his main "Infinite" YouTube channel. While he continues to produce gaming content on his "Caylus" channel, the "Infinite" channel has evolved to feature him reacting to a wide range of videos, including viral clips, memes, bizarre internet content, and challenging or suspenseful situations, with his "You Had One Job" series. This strategy allows him to engage with current trends and cater to a broader audience who enjoy watching creators respond to interesting or unusual online content. This shift aligns with the growing popularity of reaction content on platforms like YouTube, where viewers enjoy experiencing and sharing the emotional responses of their favorite creators to various forms of media.
Cunningham's charismatic personality and humor further enhance the appeal of these reaction videos, cementing his position as a prominent figure in the evolving landscape of online entertainment.[10][11][12][13]
Reception
In general, Cunningham has experienced a positive and successful reception from his viewers, evident in his large subscriber base and high view counts. His content, spanning gaming, reaction videos, and challenge videos, has attracted a diverse audience.[14]
His main channel enjoys immense popularity, with billions of views and millions of subscribers. Videos consistently garner millions of views each. Dedicated to gaming content, this channel also has millions of subscribers, further demonstrating his strong connection with a gaming-focused audience. While largely well-received, there have been occasional criticisms, such as a Reddit discussion from 2018 regarding potentially misleading thumbnails or titles.[15] However, this seems to be an isolated incident and not representative of his overall viewer reception.[16]
