Paluten, whose real name is Patrick Mayer, is one of Germany's best known gaming YouTubers, famous for long running Minecraft series including the Freedom project and for his energetic commentary style. Short spoken lines from his videos are often clipped by fans for soundboards and edits, and das bin ich became popular in that format because it is instantly understandable even out of context. German speaking creators share the clip in memes, Discord chats and short videos whenever someone makes an entrance or claims a character as themselves.
