Phil Mason (born August 28, 1991),also known as PMRants, is a ranter/filmmaker who started off small with his videos getting little views. But after he uploaded 'The Top Ten Worst YouTube Channels That Everyone Watches', the views on the aforementioned video as well as the rest of his video catalog skyrocketed. As of June 2013, his channel has amassed over 70,000 subscribers and over 4 million views.

He originally started out with the channel 'PMTalks' which was not very popular as his videos were lucky to see anything over 1,000 views. He used the channel until April 2011 when his Google Adsense for both his discussion channel and his and his roommate's film channel "LuminousUmbra' was suspended due to a clickbomb attack. To compensate, he made two new channels. A new discussion channel named 'PMRants', and a new film channel named 'CatharsisPictures', moving all his content to the aforementioned channels.
