Adam the Woo is gone, and the silence in his wake reveals more about modern America than 1,000 trending hashtags ever could.
On December 22, David Adam Williams, known to untold millions simply as Adam the Woo, was found unresponsive in his home just outside Walt Disney World. He loved this theme park beyond words and videoed it countless times, eagerly sharing his adventures with viewers across the globe.

I went to visit Adam’s house today. Lots of flowers and tributes in the front yard. A young man was vlogging with his phone near the door. A friend of mine poured her Starbucks into the grass. Going to miss Adam.

Woo who?
I am really out of touch...have no idea who he was...
Never heard of him.

Watching TMC Memorial for 2025 I kept thinking who are these people, how did they become famous and I never heard of them?
Growing up in a time when you said “celebrity” you were talking about someone everyone knew. Today it just means being known in a (relatively) small circle.
This is neither good or bad, just an observation.
