RDCWORLD

RDCWorld, an American online video creator collective, was formed in Waco, Texas, by Mark Phillips and Affiong Harris in 2012. The group, which also includes Leland Manigo, Desmond Johnson, Benjamin Skinner, Dylan Patel, and Johnathon Newton, initially launched its YouTube channel, RDCworld1, to promote a manga series titled ‘The Resistance.’ Over time, their content evolved to focus on comedy videos centered around anime, sports, video games, internet memes, and various aspects of popular culture. Mark Phillips is frequently acknowledged as the public face of the collective, and he graduated from the University of North Texas. Affiong Harris is an alum of North Central Texas College.

The collective has achieved significant milestones in digital media, with their RDCworld1 YouTube channel accumulating over 1.78 billion video views and more than 7.19 million subscribers as of July 2025. Their influence extends beyond online content; in 2018, they established Dream Con in Waco, Texas, a multi-genre convention specifically catering to anime and video gaming communities. RDCWorld has also collaborated with prominent entities like the National Football League (NFL) for flag football events and has been recognized by public figures such as J. Cole and LeBron James, who have been featured in or referenced in their content. Phillips himself appeared in a commercial for the 2022 NBA playoffs, further expanding the group’s reach into mainstream media.

RDCWorld has received critical acclaim, clinching the Streamy Award for “Comedy” in both 2022 and 2023. They were also nominated for “Show of the Year” and “Scripted Series” at the 2023 Streamy Awards. In February 2024, the group received a nomination for Best Shared Channel at the 2023 Streamer Awards. Later in December 2024, RDCWorld won the Best Variety Streamer category at the 2024 Streamer Awards and secured nominations for “League of their Own” and “Best Streamed Event” for their Creator League Basketball event held at Dream Con. Their consistent production of popular content and engagement with their fanbase has solidified their position as a notable entity in online entertainment.
