Robertson attended an art college in London in the mid-2000s. He launched his YouTube channel at the end of 2013, after a period of clinical depression and underemployment. In January 2017, Robertson began receiving coverage from BBC News and national newspapers, after Scottish tabloid the Daily Record claimed to have doxxed Millennial Woes, "expos" his birth name, family's home address and sending reporters and photographers to his parent's home to try to find him. Robertson was reported to have "left Britain", posting a video to his YouTube channel named "Fugitive Woes". BNP-affiliated group Civil Liberty publicly defended him, claiming his outing by media was a "hate campaign fomented by Daily Mirror". In August 2017, Salon claimed that Millennial Woes was one of only a few alt-right platforms to rapidly grow, alongside Red Ice, VDARE and The Rebel Media. On 10 December 2017, he began an interview series named Millenniyule 2017, inviting various internet personalities from the alt-right movement, including an appearance from Faith Goldy. On 28 September 2018, Robertson's Twitter account was suspended. In April 2020, Robertson was banned from future speaking events held by Mark Collett, a British Neo-Nazi, following sexual assault allegations. As a result of this, Robertson announced his withdrawal from politics in a Telegram post, stating that he needs to "deal with the character flaws that neglected" and may need to seek professional therapy.
