Quotes

“I’ve always been into tech as far as I can remember. Grew up in New Jersey, and when I was in high school, part of that obsession with tech was just watching tons of videos about tech and just immersing myself in it just for fun in my free time.”

“It’s 2009, there’s not a whole lot of — it’s very early in YouTube days, relatively speaking — so it is kind of this fun, unique, interesting thrill of uploading a thing to the Internet and having random strangers engage with it in some way, and building a tiny community for yourself. That was also definitely a part of it after the first few videos anyway, when people started showing up.”

“The tech world moves fast so if you are early to be helpful, you are probably helping the most people.”

“There are a bunch of different ways that a creator can make money by being a YouTuber, and YouTube is that go-to platform for a lot of creators because it has been the most stable for the longest amount of time, and has the most well-established revenue sharing program of any of the social media channels.”
