Lerix, now more popularly known as Liam Donovan, was a YouTuber active in commentary between 2020 and 2025, with him being most well known for his coverage of the YouTuber Jalyn, his humorous messages with the late YouTuber Twomad, and the controversy surrounding his relationship with Turkey Tom's ex girlfriend Kai. Lerix was also apart of the "New Commentary Community" of 2021 along with fellow commentators AugieRFC, Turkey Tom, and Dumpy, which was an effort to return to a more casual form of video akin to what LeafyIsHere produced in 2016. Lerix would go through multiple waves of popularity and absense on his channel, abandoning his main channel multiple times and delisting all of his videos as he went. Dispite this, Lerix would keep finding himself returning with this cycle of leaving commentary, delisting his videos, returning, and relisting them eventually culminating in him leaving the Commentary Community in 2025 and persuing a more mainstream audience on his music critique channel bearing his real name, "Liam Donovan".

Beginnings

Lerix began his channel in July of 2018 with his first upload being gameplay of the popular battle royale game Fortnite. He would follow this up in February of the next year with a slew of videos surrounding the basketball video game NBA 2k19. He would continue posting sports themed content all throughout 2019 with notable outliers being a video discussing his predictions for the 2019 NBA Playoffs[1] and a video in which he seemingly pranks people by spoiling the plot for the newly released movie Avengers: Endgame titled "SPOILING AVENGERS ENDGAME TO RANDOM PEOPLE PRANK!! (GONE WRONG) ALMOST GOT BEAT UP!!!"[2].

Lerix would upload his first commentary video on January 4th, 2020[3], aimed at the controversial YouTuber Onision who was in the news cycle at the time for his interactions with the disgraced TV journalist Chris Hansen. This video did quite well for Lerix netting him nineteen thousand views. Lerix would continue to upload commentary videos throughout 2020 up into early 2021. These were short facecam style videos, with many being under ten minutes, adorned with sensationalist titles which often made liberal use of capitalization.

Notable highlights from this period being the YouTuber ImJayStation striking down a video of Lerix's that was critical of him and him getting into drama with Deji's girlfriend Dunjahh. Biggest of all was his coverage of drama surrounding the channel 2Hype with his innitial upload[4] about the situation accruing 109k views and a subsequent video of his discussing a leaked call aquiring 234.4k views[5]. Lerix would go on to continue continue covering the channel with him uploading 33 videos discussing the topic racking up over 2,000,000 views in total.

Exit From Commentary

Lerix started out as a small commentator, then had a video struck down by JayStation and got into drama with Deji’s girlfriend Dunjahh. Had a big spike in popularity with his coverage of 2hype drama. Took a break before coming back in 2020 and making 2016-esque commentary videos for a bit. Since then, Lerix left commentary and went on a bit of an anime arc, got criticized for liking anime girls that are visually similar to loli on Twitter, got in a few arguments and left the community.

Other Channels

Had a 4th channel originally named “Cyber Eyes” where he would upload music. This was later changed to “hollow out” and finally to Liam Donovan and was switched to a music commentary streaming channel.
