“Creators are what bring the eyeballs to platforms, and vice versa. Sort of a chicken-and-egg thing, because you can't have creators and no platform.”
“I'm not changing any of my opinions or what I'm saying about a product in a video based on my relationship with the company... When they release a product, my job is to be honest and deliver what people want to see and what people need to hear.”
“If I'm going to give someone advice on what to buy, you want a personality to back it up rather than some robot telling you X is better than Y.”
“Having Kobe doing an entire video with me was awesome. I'd love to do that again, that was legit.”
“I typically have one backpack, my everyday carry.”
“So, one of the biggest things about YouTube versus any other platform is the built-in audience and discovery tools.”
“It's hard to pinpoint a 'moment' that validated years of work.”
“YouTube, for me, is the primary platform.”
“Being a game changer to me means changing the way other people see things.”
“I don't get a lot of sleep.”
“I don't edit on laptops anymore.”
“The main gripe I have with Snapchat is as a content creator, which I understand is not the normal perspective... How is anyone ever going to find my Snapchat Story if they don't have my username or my number?”
“I'm excited to launch 'Waveform,' which will explore everything from tech news and new products to the videos that surround them.”
“What people don't consider is that tech is a really personal purchase. You spend so much time using it.”
“I'm just picky about certain things in the videos, so I'm always switching out things that look or sound better.”
“I think the problem with 'YouTube Rewind,' at least how I see it, is pretty simple actually. YouTubers and creators and audiences see it as one thing and, YouTube, who's in charge of making it, sees it as something completely different.”
“Using a massive panel of pure sapphire for the front of a phone would be a little bit stupid.”
“Every camera shoots horizontal, right? So we're all super used to framing things with lots of horizontal room. We've seen this new wave of Snapchat stories and Instagram stories where people are actually framing for and recording in vertical. Whether it's better or not is debatable.”
“Just make videos about things you love, and people who love the things you love making videos about will find you.”
“There's different reasons to be proud of different projects, so I'm more proud of certain videos because of what we were able to accomplish within them.”
