thought when I was Rd old news and people are dropping and cultural
references I B I yeah I know right but the hell is that close YouTube
like eight years ago compared to now man it was a whole different world bro it means to be a little bit more but
like a a house party announced turn into a big kind industrialized nightclub guided tour thing was like where you go
to see like weird videos you're at night making businesses on
YouTube I remember when I first started doing YouTube the most subscribed person was brokers
and she had 20,000 subscribers and I thought it was the biggest deal ever I don't believe there is a there's a
partner program back then it is the number one thing that's changed on
YouTube is the fact that like now all the videos look so good it's
very hard to compete with to YouTube is celebrating its 10th
anniversary this year crazy what were you doing ten years ago ten years ago I think I was just joining myspace I Y and third-grade alittle 11 so I was nine you say but I so love
making videos ten years ago outside my house and I was
not getting kissed in high school that's for sure I was uploading songs on
myspace China be a famous rapper I was graduated from college and scared
Sh less about the next year of my life I was a
freshman in college I wanted to be a singer and now I'm the
worst kind of singing I was moved from Chicago to Los Angeles
to I to be an actor and study calming us play music and playing shows I I had a
couple of videos up on YouTube at the time I didn't understand the power of
them and what was the moment that you decided on gonna
start using YouTube com utility for me somebody was like 0
there's a girl in the UK her name was Lauren League pennant the eighty-one and she was selling makeup online but
she would do tutorials to show you how to use the makeup another I'm gonna be the US version of
her it start of its like I just needed a a a plan for I wanted to make little sketches and
and parodies and skits with my family and
friends I sent videos at me performing to my parents and then I saw videos are
other people singing the same songs as me but in their bedroom I thought I was
freakin weird and so then I uploaded random videos as a joke my friends and I
had the time we were like amateur like filmmakers we ran out a
band with on our website so I was like yo bro I'm you can put I'm our movies on this you too website and
you know we'll have to worry about the ban which I first got in to YouTube
because my best friend grace Helbig was doing it I didn't know there was a
business aspect of it all is there a moment you remember when you
to change for you from just being something you were doing as a hobby to
realizing this was could be something bigger mahmud I think
you I realize you too was bigger than I thought it was when I uploaded a video me and my cousins dancing the
Hannah Montana I just thought I was crazy that many people found my Hannah Montana DNP video first time I saw lazy Sunday I think
that's when I realized holy moly videos can spread like
wildfire and had exist online for a year and a half
before a video went viral and back pain and that meant like seventy thousand views I think it was
probably a year more after that when I finally realizing
ok people do this the people upload videos and it's a job the first
video that ever I guess went viral for me was this Michael Jackson medley and if you get
people to follow you then you could find some way turn it
into a living for yourself I got an email from E him about you get I had made a youtube video call the
pictures on you guys like this great I got into as to have an email I sent an email to
did you ever have imagined that YouTube would grow into what it is today how much yeah I can imagine that the
world was kinda waiting for something like that I figured it would be
something huge I descending would be something huge for me and what i want. do you know i jus I had
no idea YouTube was gonna be the tool that helps me game audience absolutely not I never in
a million years thought it could be a sustainable career
absolutely not this this is crazy and its still crazy to me
that not everyone knows what it is when I upload my purse ran to
be a love song said pay like six seven years from now you'll
be making money doing this and you're gonna love it here full time
job I would laugh in their face II made more and he was making fun of
people who thought that do you still feel though that they're is
some stigmas and stereotypes about kahn Design YouTube despite how big it's
gotten absolutely absolutely and it's going to
take a pack up a lot of time for those those
stereotypes that to go away my fans that are you still uploading a
little video to YouTube not calling all videos this is my life I think most people think I've YouTube
as a place to watch viral videos of cats in kids biting their brother I don't think
most people think like you too can be a career still I think the stereotype about Michael
everything on you tube socks goes for TV to I think for every catfish which screen
show you have $500 million terrible cautions
YouTube veres a little younger and I think everyone's
catching up there's like people making box and people making hold businesses like you guys and
Michelle on definitely one thing in people's mind now which i think was in
their mind by years ago is it this is a person
actually has a real fans online because if your YouTube videos
but also because vines on new arm the youtubers
alike what is this fine thing like what we get only six second be asleep is that
it unions and where would like almost like
we've taken on the role of the traditional media and we like what is this to back to the video this
channel has continued to upload over the years that hasn't really worked and why do you think people to get
accidental viral theme have mostly struggled to maintain an
audience on YouTube because nothing's gonna top the first time it's lightning in a bottle you can't
recreate that had this video that bike and propels you right in front of
everybody in from the world but the same time that's the only being they want to know
you for when you have something that kinda
explode like that have a song like a one hit wonder to get a lot of attention and and they
can't forget whether if you will build a following their building like a a loyal group like friend one video
can't really do that so finally you to set this mast in 10 years in this
website can you talk about what you means to you when it's done for your
life yeah I've been doing it since I was 12
so it's definitely saved my life like you do was a dream I never dreamed that came true for me
you do for me has been I the key and unlocking the doors that I
when be able to open for the life of me completely would be
high would describe changed my life music was was always
something that had a passion for but a a didn't think I would be ordered make
a living of a bit might catch gonna get mail
motion are growing up always wanted to make a change and kids lives and now I get to make a
change in kids lives every single day just by like uploading videos in making me laugh
YouTube has created life for me without you too I'd
probably be like an elementary school teacher that is fine cell think your YouTube thanks so much for watching this episode
