Lootbox Productions was a managerment group of Daniel Larson's, lasting from January to March of 2022. They were known for trying to assist Daniel with living situations and getting him vital housing, but most prominently to assist Daniel with his mental health and get him vital treatment for his mental illnesses.
Lootbox Productions was known to denounce many trolls and individuals who had wanted to see Daniel suffer, and during their tenure had tried to get Daniel to develop self-awareness.
Beginning and Motive
One of the earliest mentions of Lootbox productions originates from a post made on the 1st of February 2022 making awareness of a cashapp belonging to Daniel controlled by "LootBoxProductions$". Many in the comments had thoughts that Lootbox was an enabler of Daniel's financial delusions, having there be a cashapp to get money to Daniel, while others speculated that Lootbox was attempting to profit off of Daniel through donations that would go towards Daniel by fans, through embezzlement, including through an Amazon wishlist that was created in order to supply Daniel with a steady income.
Lootbox would reply to the post, to some negative attention, stating,

We don't Tell Daniel what to do or post, and we don't get any financial benefit from him like music royalties. The only reason that we do what we do is that if it wasn't us talking to Daniel on a daily basis, some 14-year-old troll would be. They could make Daniel send them all his money and tell him to go live naked saying the n-word. If you have been paying attention to him recently, you would notice that he doesn't go naked on live, say slurs, post racist stuff, etc. because we are guiding him on the right path while keeping trolls away from him. He does say a few interesting things here and there on his own but we don't tell him what to say or do. We give him advice to point him in the right direction but Daniel has power over himself. As for the financial stuff, we don't have control of any of his existing financial accounts such as CashApps or bank accounts.

Our team is not a bunch of 14-year olds who want to use money. Most of us are in our twenties and are only doing this because we care about Daniel's well being. Unfortunately, his support systems such as SSI, his case manager services, and family friends around him do not suit his situation well, which is pretty obvious by the fact that he is homeless and can't afford meals. We are in contact with his case manager and his close family friend and they are aware of what we are doing. Our end goal is to put Daniel in a position where he doesn't have to worry about where the money for his next meal is from, utilize better spending habits, use critical thinking to tell trolls apart from the good people, ensure that he gets a roof over his head, and his safety as the most important thing because trolls could and have convinced him into harming himself. In order to meet those goals, we do plan on helping Daniel establish some more diverse ways of making money such as possibly setting up a merchandise store, other donation apps, stable investments, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. | ” |
From here on, Lootbox would make their intentions known, stating that they want to try and help Daniel so that he isn't taken advantage of by a "14 year old" troll, as that has previously occurred. They reiterated that Daniel was "failed" by the system, unlike the truth being otherwise.
Prior to this, Lootbox created a linktree, which is still up as of April 2024.
End
Many have assumed that Jared took on the role and identity of Lootbox productions, despite the miniscule amount of evidence that suggests this. Around the 18th of February 2022, Lootbox made their final post on the account, telling trolls to stop. While it is unknown as to what Lootbox is doing at this time, the group behind the management had likely dissolved and likely had Jared replace Lootbox as the manager.
