Me, personally, I don't upload video to YouTube.
I could pick a favorite YouTuber, maybe I would say GloZell.
I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.
I love being supportive of other YouTubers because I know how much work and dedication goes into building a channel, and I think that the community on YouTube is just so important because the viewers get to be a part of what you're creating.
I definitely have aspirations outside of YouTube, but I think there's a lot of people on YouTube who want to leave YouTube. I don't want to leave; I love it.
A majority of my YouTube friends I've made because I made a trip down to California and literally tweeted them saying, 'Hey! Come over - let's shoot something!' And then two strangers will just meet up, talk, and shoot something.
I'd wanted to be a director since I was five and had been making videos since I was a kid. Then YouTube came around during high school. I was making videos, and it was just a place to put them, like storage.
I never thought that after what happened with TanaCon that VidCon would be open to a conversation.
I started out poking fun at this YouTube thing.
What I and other YouTubers do is a very different thing; it's almost like hanging around and watching your pal play games.
I'd like to help other YouTubers.
I want to stick with movies, but I also want to stick with YouTube. I'm never going to give up YouTube. I'm never going to stop making videos for the people who continue to watch them. That's my home base. That's what I love; that's what I know.
As I continued to make content, a lot of YouTubers from within the community reached out and said, 'Hey, you're doing a great job. Would you like to do a collab? Can I help you out in any way?'
I was one of those kids who was just always on the Internet, always on YouTube, so it was easy for me to do it. It's not work. It's just fun.
YouTube has gotten so big that you're not a standard unless YouTube adopts you. And that's a big fight.
