Reckless Ben

Sources reviewed: 2026-11-12

Benjamin Paul Schneider, with a birth year given as 1995 or 1996. YouTuber, slackliner, and co-presenter of the game. The age is one Wikipedia page.

Two YouTube numbers

Wikipedia’s 9 Oct 2026 snapshot lists 2.55 million subscribers and 162 million channel views. On 12 Nov 2026, the rendered @RecklessBen header shows 2.61 million subscribers and 181 videos, while an older embedded header on that same page still says 311,000 subscribers. These are different dated or rendered records, so I keep the discrepancy. The featured video’s 6.97 million views belong to that video, not the channel total.

Investigations he has published

Wikipedia lists films and videos on a Banksy work (2019), Scientology (2020), McKamey Manor (2023), Lucifer Valentine (2025), Bricks & Minifigs (2026), and Provo Canyon School (2026). Ideal Living is shakier. He has posted a video whose title says Ideal Living responded, and other channels have posted rebuttals. I do not have a Wikipedia or news-desk account of that company, so I am not repeating the dollar figures or the cult label from those titles.

Instagram @recklessbenschneider is listed at 113,000 followers, and TikTok @reckless_ben at 577,000, both in the 9 Oct Wikipedia update. The 2026 legal dates are on the origin timeline, not repeated as a second story here. Dexerto’s launch piece is where his satire quote lives.
