I really grew my own fan base. I started posting videos on YouTube with the help of my parents.
I don’t know how long ‘The Vlog Squad’ will last, but I think for YouTube, as long as you adapt it can last a while.
Listen, we’re still selling stardom. That doesn’t go away because MTV decides they can’t play videos or they want to program themselves more as a traditional T.V. station. Vevo and YouTube are like MTV online, and on demand.
There’s something about YouTube, where you’re not being anybody but yourself. You have the opportunity to start as yourself from the very beginning. From the very first video, you choose what you say, and you choose what’s right and wrong for your presentation of yourself.
With my YouTube videos, I used to edit a lot of my own videos, so I’ve gotten used to seeing myself on camera.
I was doing nuclear med I didn’t like it. My first semester I switched to film major. YouTube helped make that decision for me.
I always thought of YouTube as this super-finite thing where trends ebb and flow.
Before YouTube, I was playing in restaurants and doing open mics – every once in a while, I’d throw an original in there. And then YouTube kind of just opened doors for me, so once I felt like I had an audience to share music with, I began to share my original music.
We want to be like a YouTube for viral images.
I work out most days, normally first thing, and then I just see where the day takes me. I recipe test most days, do lots of social media and emails, but nothing else is constant. Some days, I film YouTube videos; other days, I have lots of meetings, work on blog posts, brainstorm ideas, and work on upcoming projects.
The foundation of Roblox is user-generated content: just like on YouTube there is so much to watch, on Roblox there is so much to play.
I love seeing the way in which young people embrace video, and the YouTube vlogger is a fantastic phenomenon.
I’m perfectly happy for my videos to be on YouTube, whether I’m getting paid for them or not. If they’re on YouTube, people will see them. If for some reason my videos get taken down from YouTube, well, I apologize. If it was up to me they’d all be up there and they’d all be free.
Our album stuff, we bring it to our producer to help us finesse. But anything that’s been on YouTube and a lot of the stuff that’s been on the album, too, it started from us just sitting around in a circle and jamming it and finding where the parts fit.
Companies like YouTube will continue to be tested on their commitment to the mission that made them such popular and profitable websites – providing an open platform to a wide range of ideas from around the world.
Let’s make it so the more you invest in YouTube, the better deal YouTube gets for you.
Every day, something new gets thrown at me, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’ I’ve gone through some of the craziest life experiences because of YouTube.
I have a science YouTube channel where I will sometimes use my engineering skills to build things such as the world’s largest Super Soaker or the Guinness World Record world’s largest Nerf gun.
I’m a tomboy, but I really love doing my makeup – I find it relaxing and grounding. With ‘The Daily Show,’ it was easier for me to do my own makeup. In the beginning, I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. You find a beauty blogger who has your skin tone, and pretty much everything they use will look good on you.
I started making original music during my YouTube process. And as a young female, dealing with a lot of male producers who were older and had more so-called experience, they would discourage me, telling me that what I was doing – and even my vision – was never going to work. And that lasted quite a long time.
I love YouTube. You can find me there watching cat videos. I even like to watch other people play video games. I know it’s a bit creepy, but it’s my thing.
Gaming content is exactly what YouTube wants (the videos are long, the audiences are engaged, and thus people stay on the site).
I took an acting class with Louise Lasser, Woody Allen’s first wife and co-star in many movies. I’ve done some other indie films, if you look on the YouTube. I love acting – it’s great.
My channel is my baby. Some women have babies; I have a YouTube channel.
Me, personally, I don’t upload video to YouTube.
I usually just watch YouTube videos or reruns on Netflix of older TV shows like ‘Family Guy’ and stuff. But I still really want to start watching more TV.
I used to be terrible at understanding what the boundaries are and where YouTube ended. You can feel exposed online with literally the entire world watching you, but it is an amazing platform.
Every digital video player – RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Vevo, Hulu, YouTube – all of them had different ways of getting you the video, but it was still always the same series of rectangles. The format never changed.
Our goal is to have YouTube on every screen – to take it from the PC to the living room and the mobile phone.
YouTube videos, they’re more personal and more real than a commercial on TV.
If Youku had adopted YouTube’s business model, we just would not be here. We would not exist.
YouTube has been a great source for me to spot talents across the world and provide a break.
A cast mate once told me having a YouTube channel was cheating.
I can’t even tell you how many 8, 9, 10 year old kids have come up to me and said, ‘You are my favorite wrestler, and I’ve seen you on ‘the network’ or on YouTube.’
Big Shaq stems from my YouTube series ‘Somewhere in London.’ I just wanted to create something that was multi-character and multi-dimensional.
I’m pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything.
Comedy was something I picked up trying to perfect my art through spoken word. I got on YouTube just to show off my poetry, and then people thought I was funny, so I ran with it.
On YouTube, we were our own masters. We could sit on an edit until we got it right, we could choose quality over quantity.
I very rarely listen to music in my car – a lot of people make fun of me for it. But sometimes I listen to music on YouTube. I’m like a teenager.
YouTube is the place where people go to consume advertisements willingly. It’s some capitalist dystopian nightmare.
If I want to know how to do a black cat eye, I don’t drive to a department store. I’ll go on YouTube, cross-check reviews of a product, and then maybe talk about it on Instagram.
As content creators, we’re benefitting YouTube every day. YouTube couldn’t do what they do without us, so do not underestimate your power.
The best companies in the world have all had predecessors. ‘YouTube’ was a dating site. You always have to evolve into something else.
The YouTube industry is quite alien to a lot of people.
Most of my stuff hasn’t gone viral. I have been successful on YouTube and I’m very proud of the stuff that I’ve done, but compared to the people who are actual internet stars and making a living off of it, my views are nothing.
I’m really focusing right now on YouTube, doing stuff with my ‘Wrestling With Whiskey’ project, really trying to grow that because I think that’s going to, whether we like it or not, be the future of a lot of forms of entertainment.
Stand-ups are always good to see on YouTube. There’s a guy named Mike Head who lives in Cleveland. He’s great. He’s an African-American stand-up.
I’m honored when young people say they’ve gone to school on slide guitar with my records. But people get their influence from my live shows and records and YouTube, not me personally. I walk around with a hat on. People don’t know it’s me.
During my long study sessions in the library, I found myself watching YouTube videos during study breaks.
I still go on YouTube and watch the old performances and the ‘Soul Train’ lines. I’m still amazed by how much soul and funk the music and dancers had.
I try to view my YouTube channel as a logbook of personal interests.
You can get stuck in the trap of reading your YouTube comments all the time. Sometimes I regret it. Not everyone is going to love you. And for some reason, stand-up has this thing where everyone thinks they can do it. So everyone thinks they’re an expert.
When I started on YouTube, no one talked about getting famous on the Internet or getting discovered on YouTube. I didn’t even know it was a possibility.
Google owns YouTube, and recently, I drew a comic about an idea for a YouTube feature – which they actually took seriously and implemented. So I’m thinking that maybe we’ll have a future where Google is ‘xkcd.’
I had to do a Northern England accent once, and I didn’t have much time, so I went and pored through YouTube. There are all sorts of resources out there. The Internet has made that much more affordable. Don’t break your neck to spend your money.
I think the advent of things like YouTube have made it possible for creators to tell stories cheaply and efficiently and to have a built-in audience.
We were very fortunate to be in YouTube in the very beginning. There wasn’t a lot of content on there, so we were pretty easy to find on YouTube. That was really helpful in growing our channel.
I’m able to show on YouTube what I’m passionate about, what I love to do and one of those things is sewing my gear.
