Paterson

Paterson is the mysterious and oft unheard of benefactor, and secret fourth member, of the Vidiots YouTube channel, leaving to the boys an unspecified amount of money in his will. All that is known, thanks to a slip from Michael Johnson, is that all of the money was spent on cocaine, specifically to help with the increased workload brought about by Shit Games for Wankers Worst Games Ever moving to a weekly schedule. It was promised, by Peter Austin himself, that upon reaching 50,000 subscribers, the Vidiots would reveal Paterson's face. As of 1 July 2018, Paterson was officially recognized as having passed away. A memorial was hosted by the official Vidiots discord server to commemorate Paterson.

History
Very little is known of Paterson's origins, although it is believed that he may of existed before the inception of the Vidiots channel itself, perhaps even predating the, Name Redunded days. Some believe his origins lie directly with the Vidiots themselves, with Peter himself even suggesting that Paterson's name might be just a simple etymological corruption of the phrase 'Peter's Son'. To this end then it is widely accepted that Paterson may indeed be the spawn of Peter Austin.

Much of Paterson's life remains unknown, seemingly the only people to know him and be in contact with him are the Vidiots themselves.

Unfortunately, it was confirmed on 1 July 2018 that Paterson had indeed passed away. Many, including Ben, Michael and Peter, paid their respects during a moonlight memorial held on the official Vidiots Discord server. And while not much may be known about him, we all remember the sacrifice Paterson made to give us the Vidiots.
