Yay! We did it reddit. Thanks for the support.
I figure I should explain how this came about, seeing as there have been several people wondering. First, to clarify, I did indeed use a tool to generate this image, called AndreaMosaic. It's free to use for personal use, and although it hasn't seen updates in a while it still works great. What actually took quite a bit of effort was obtaining all the thumbnails. As there are over 4500 videos on the main CaptainSparklez youtube channel, I elected to automate the process to get them. I used the YouTube APIs to get the IDs of every video, then wrote a script to download the thumbnails for each (took me several hours to accomplish this). To get the best results, I chose an image with a lot of variety in terms of colours and contrast (hence the rainbow car image). After this it was a simple matter of giving the parent image to the program, giving it the folder of thumbnails, and let the magic happen. There are over 10,000 images in this mosaic, and if I had elected to try and only use one of every thumbnail, the quality would have been greatly reduced. If there is interest though, I can attempt to make this none the less.

Hope you guys liked it, feel free to leave suggestions for more stuff to add for future animations I might make!
thanks :)
to be honest i was even surprised how it turned out because (a i use an online editor instead of a downloadable, and (b it's only my second edit.
also considering you probably started yours before you saw mine, i like how we both have the name with the (de)monetization symbol and become monetized as the subtitle.
