Sneako (real name Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy) is an American live streamer and online personality who streams on Kick and posts videos on YouTube and X. The Daily Aus gave his age as 27 in May 2026. He first became known on YouTube for gaming videos and man-on-the-street interviews about dating, and briefly worked for MrBeast. His content later turned to political and "manosphere" commentary; the Anti-Defamation League describes him as "one of the most prominent vectors for antisemitism, white supremacy, and misogyny in the manosphere".

YouTube terminated his channels in October 2022 and, after reinstating him in October 2024, banned him again within a day. He has also been banned from Twitch and TikTok, and has posted on Rumble. His main YouTube channel, SNEAKO, is active again and had about 1.3 million subscribers in October 2026, alongside a second channel, LIVE SNEAKO, for stream recordings.
In May 2026 Australia cancelled his visa during a visit and imposed a lifetime ban on his return; Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the government acts to stop people "coming to this country to spread hatred".
