Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy[6] (born 8 September 1998)[7] better known online as Sneako, is an American internet personality and online streamer.

Sneako is generally considered to be part of the "manosphere", an ideology promoting masculinity, misogyny, anti-semitism, homophobia and opposition to feminism.[8][2][3] His commentaries have been deemed controversial and considered to be encouraging misogynistic views amongst young males.[9] Sneako had amassed over 1.28 million subscribers on his main channel on YouTube,[4] before being banned in October 2022.[10]

Sneako has since joined Rumble[10] and as of October 2023, he was the seventh most-watched channel with 1.37 million hours watched,[11] maintaining popularity among young male viewers.[10]
