A Humble Beginning in Austin, Texas

Thomas Chance Morris known to the world as Sodapoppin was born on February 15, 1994, in Austin, Texas. Like any true gamers, his love for gaming came at the start of the 21st century.

In 2008, he started streaming WoW on Xfire. He was a Feral Druid Dueling and playing against members of the rival horde.

He gained some popularity for his unique style of playing. In the 20012, he developed a new container strategy that earned him an enormous following, and the rest for Twitch history.

From WoW Star to Beloved Variety Streamer

Sodapoppin didn't end the story at WoW. After gaining popularity in WoW, he started branching off in 2015 and began streaming a wide variety of games which is referred to variety streaming now.

Every stream he did was an new expedition, and that was because of his personality. One of the most notable stream is when he streamed Among Us and, according to Innersloth, he was the main reason the game blew up.

Success in Streaming and Other Creative Ventures

In late 2024, Sodapoppin has remained one of the top Twitch creators, gaining 8.9 million followers on the platform. In 2022, he became co-owner of a content collective in Austin, called One True King (OTK).

Aside from his solo channels, Sodapoppin is a content creator and owner working alongside a skilled group of creators. He has over 1.1 million subscribers on his Youtube, where he has accumulated 480 million total views.

As of mid-2025, Sodapoppin’s net worth is estimated to be around $8 million, reflecting the long-term success and stability he’s built through Twitch, YouTube, and his roles in organizations like OTK and NRG Esports

Facing Controversies and Earning Respect

Sodapoppin has had his fair share of controversial moments throughout his career. During July of 2020, Sodapoppin was banned from Twitch for content guideline violations that occurred while streaming VRchat, although he was unbanned the next day.

In April 2022, he was also banned for 2 weeks for an incident that occurred during a live stream that used 'distasteful' comedy.

He accepted the punishment and returned to his streaming career shortly after. In all of his achievements and downfalls, he has always been praised for his honesty and taking responsibility for his actions.

Life Off-Camera and Personal Touches

Apart from streaming, Sodapoppin has provided snippets of his life. He is dating another streamer and VTuber named Veibae. He also loves cars, and is said to own a flashy blue Porsche 911 GT3.

These particular details humanize him and show that he has interests, relationships, and happiness just like the rest of us.

Conclusions

Sodapoppin has quite frankly become a part of streaming history from a WoW nationalist to a variety streamer who is here to stay.

He has shown that his sense of humor and adaptability has managed to gain his fans and his mistakes are the reason he has earned their loyalty.

He is not just a content creator but rather a husbandos, a friend, and a streaming pioneer showing that being real is crucial.
