Oh! So the whole “Herobrine Removed” was basically like an advertisement in order to get more players. That does make sense because when Minecraft was still developing, it had fewer players:

Yes it did herobrine was never real

I don't think it was an advertisement, rather just them playing along

I think it was the YouTubers who capitalized on this who were their advertising

@Fc500 no, but many kids would believe it. I did when I was younger.

I did too, I get you're point now lol

@Fc500 I use to believe herobrine was real when i was younger the other ones no

I thought Herobrine was real. And whenever I hear footsteps, i thought it was him so I’ll scream

Kk

From what I heard, 'he' was permanently removed in 1.10
