Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie embraces childhood YouTube videos as self-acceptance

In today's fame economy, visibility comes with excavation. Right now, no one understands that more than the stars of Heated Rivalry.

When someone breaks out the way Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have after Heated Rivalry, fans don't just follow their work — they scroll backward, digging through old usernames, forgotten uploads, and half-formed versions of the person they've just discovered. The internet, after all, never forgets. It just waits.

For Storrie, that excavation led straight to YouTube.
