Gnembon has a YouTube channel where he used to upload item farming and modding videos. Since joining Mojang however, he has ceased to upload videos to his YouTube channel,<ref name="mojang">Template:Ytl</ref> as he thinks it's unfair to make videos about farms with insider knowledge.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>

Trivia
- Wołkowicz's nickname was taken from a character in a book he was reading for school,<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> which is most likely Gnębon Puczymorda from Szewcy by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. It was first used as his username in the video game Template:W II or III. He later decided to keep this name for his YouTube channel, as a way of separating his gaming life from his personal life.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
- When Wołkowicz first started playing Minecraft, he was afraid of Minecraft:squid for several months.<ref name=":0">Template:Ytl</ref>
- Wołkowicz has a son, who he taught to use a mouse and keyboard by playing Minecraft.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
- Gnembon thinks that villager Minecraft:trading needs to be redesigned from scratch, in the form of quest-like discoveries that encourage exploration and progression.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
