The first video that Chris posted after the launch of his channel was titled, ‘My name is Chris O'Flyng’. He started off by posting comedy videos and eventually tried his hand at posting various other videos as well. Chris expanded his range by incorporating different elements into his comedy videos. Videos involving mimicries, lip-syncs, stand-ups and crazy challenges garnered him a huge number of followers.

He then shifted his focus toward making some serious, issue-based videos. Chris spoke about many youth-related issues that were considered taboo. He debuted in this new genre with a video in which he openly discussed his sexual orientation. Chris made perfect use of his social media fame to tell his own life story. He confessed about being a multi-sexual and advocated self-acceptance. He lashed out at people who are shallow-minded and those who take pride in being judgemental.

This video inspired many of its viewers and encouraged them to come out of their shells. Chris then came up with the idea of one-on-one candid chats with his fans. The idea created quite a flurry on the internet.

Chris’ videos have been pivotal in bringing the LGBT community in front of the camera to spread the message of unconditional love and to let others know of their desire to be socially accepted.

From confessions to candid chats, everything that Chris has done to date has been admired by his fans and other YouTubers. For a young man, Chris has displayed an amazing sense of responsibility, for he is often involved in charities. Recently he got himself associated with WhyHunger, a non-profit organization, working to put an end to hunger and poverty. This tie-up connected people from different walks of life to support the movement.

Chris then started asking for donations and in exchange offered a free trip and a coffee date. Chris had some brilliant ideas in his mind and needed to raise a huge fund in order to execute his ideas. Hence, he launched his own line of clothing which is sold online at District Lines.

The next set of videos posted by Chris featured life lessons that he had learned from his own experiences. One such video taught its viewers how to deal with heartbreaks and the depression that invariably follows. He spoke about suicidal tendencies that he had after he broke up with his YouTuber boyfriend, Matthew Lush.

Chris launched another YouTube channel, ‘OffTheRails’ in September 2016. The channel has already accumulated about 46 thousand subscribers and 19 million views.

There was a point in time when Chris had to face haters too. A blogger claimed that Chris has faked many of his posts and videos. The blogger called the post, which claimed that Chris’ house was on fire, a sham.

One more post from July 2016 that lashed out at Chris for faking his experience of being raped by a woman created quite a stir. The one who posted the video accused Chris of using the social media platform and his popularity to lie about something very sensitive. Chris’ action was considered hurtful by many real victims. Many bloggers even suggested that Chris must be put behind bars for his irresponsible posts.
