Sneako

Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy (born September 8, 1998), better known online as Sneako (stylized in all caps), is an American political commentator and online streamer. He gained prominence through YouTube, where he posted commentary videos and street interviews. His channels were removed in 2022 for repeated violations of their community guidelines, and were reinstated in October 2025 under a YouTube pilot program allowing previously terminated creators to return to the platform.

His content evolved from gaming videos to political and social commentary. Media outlets have described his views as conservative and controversial.

He has been associated with the manosphere, a loosely defined online subculture centered on masculinity and gender roles. The movement has been described by scholars and journalists as promoting misogynistic, homophobic, and antifeminist ideas. Critics have also accused Sneako of promoting antisemitic rhetoric.

De Balinthazy was born in New York City to a Filipino mother and a Haitian father of Jewish descent. He was raised Catholic, but converted to Islam in mid-2023. As of 2023, he resides in Miami, Florida.

De Balinthazy began uploading videos to YouTube in 2013. His early videos were apolitical gaming and filming man-on-the-street interviews, often about dating, before briefly working for YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast. His topics began to shift into right-wing trolling, such as asking White people on the street to say racial slurs for one dollar. He would also host discussions on why men and women are not equal.

In 2022, De Balinthazy was banned from YouTube and Twitch the following year. The ban led him to the streaming website Rumble, where he became popular with young male viewers.

He was banned from YouTube again in October 2024 after briefly being unbanned; he was also banned from TikTok for promoting violence against women.

In February 2024, Sneako participated in a sparring session with former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. The session, which was filmed and widely circulated online, showed Strickland delivering a series of aggressive punches that bloodied Sneako's nose. Critics argued that Strickland had gone too hard against a non-professional fighter, and the video prompted debate about the ethics of sparring intensely with beginners. Strickland defended the session and complimented Sneako's resilience, stating that he would have stopped had Sneako gone down.
