Atomic Shrimp: Who Is He? What We Know About The YouTuber

A popular English variety YouTuber from the UK is called Atomic Shrimp.

His movies include scam-baiting, foraging, cooking, reviewing, and an ongoing project called Weird Stuff in a Can have gained him a lot of popularity.

In that show, he purchases strange cuisine that has been canned and examines it. In his scambaiting series “OK,” he reacts to scam emails with humor, much like James Veitch and other well-known scambaiters.

He offers product reviews on websites like Wholesome Fish. His scambaiting series is the most popular on his channel. He has previously stated that he will continue to make a variety of content and is not solely interested in scambaiting videos.

So, in addition to Scambaiting, we can also find other videos like the Real and Fake product series, Randon Stuff, and various science experiments.

However, his main series of scam videos focuses mainly on money fraud. He frequently takes pleasure in prolonging the scam by reacting in a joking manner.

His biggest source of views comes from the scambaiting segment of his channel because of the scammers’ dry humor and effective annoyance. Mike has been a regular contributor to YouTube for over 15 years. Atomic Shrimp created his channel and registered for this social networking platform on November 11th, 2008.

As of September 2022, Atomic Shrimp’s channel had more than 142,544,147 views and more than 902k subscribers.

In addition to his YouTube channel, he also has a “The Atomic Shrimp” Instagram account. He posts anything relevant to his interests on his account, including pictures of the outdoors, beer, the bugs he captures, and occasionally selfies of himself.

Michael “Mike” Walter, better known by his stage name Atomic Shrimp, is a well-known musician. On his website, he has explained the history of choosing such a distinctive moniker.

In order to combine two names that don’t naturally go together, he chose Atomic Shrimp Productions for a fake movie production company. The moment he bought the essential web domain names as soon as they were available, he was then born.

He has two gorgeous children and is married to his wife Jenny. The family resides between Southampton and Portsmouth with two dogs. Even though he seldom ever posts about his personal life on social media, we can see him playing with his pet dog there. Mike’s wife Jenny has occasionally made an appearance as Atomic Shrimp in his cookery movies.

Mike likes to plan, go food foraging, experiment in the kitchen, do a variety of crafts, work with multimedia, and make movies on YouTube. Mike, an IT manager, left his position at the end of August 2020 to concentrate completely on his YouTube channel.

Some of his videos on cooking are:

1. One Day, One Pound, Three Meals: A Strictly Budget Challenge
2. Delicious Stinging Nettle Soup! – Recipe And Foraging Advice
3. A Weekend on 97p a Day: A Food Challenge on a Tight Budget
4. Random Stuff – Mystery Chocolate, Food Combos, Meon Valley Trail, Comment Positivity
5. Chance Cube Cuisine Challenge: 5 Dishes From the Same Randomly Picked Ingredients, and so on.

Similarly, some of his science experiment videos are:

1. Making a Simple Charcoal BBQ Hearth From a Helium Gas Bottle
2. Can I Make Stained Glass Panes From Sea Glass (Beach Glass)?
3. Hobby Electronics & Lichen Identification – Together at Last!

Most of his videos are extremely educating and insightful; do not try to copy his science experiments at your home.

Mike, aka Atomic Shrimp, is thought to be worth $50,000. His 902k-subscriber Youtube channel serves as his main revenue source.

It’s interesting to note that he has made it clear on his YouTube page that he won’t accept requests for channel management, sponsorship, or paid or unpaid product evaluations.

Any offers for commercial partnerships, product placement, advertisements, or other business opportunities have been rejected by him.

As a result, his only source of revenue is the views on his incredible movies. His films typically earn 50 to 400 thousand views, with the largest views coming from foraging, scamming, and a £1 budget. He was given the chance to profit from his channel’s ad revenue, but he turned it down.

A YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers and two new videos published each week may expect to make between $600 and $1,000 on average.

You can make up to $54 million on YouTube if you use advertising, brand deals/sponsorships, affiliate marketing, and merchandise.
