What was the most surprising, or maybe counterintuitive, event that happened to you while growing the channel?
Not related to either videos but Melissa where is your video?! Looking forward to it 🥰
I noticed the there were several iterations of the thumbnail for both the videos. Can you guys go through your thought process in your thumbnail selection? For Taha’s video I noticed he included his face in the earlier version of the thumbnail but later favored a different style. Would you guys be able to expand on that? Thanks!
Was the production for these two videos (parkour + algorithm video) super long? Were there roadblocks in any part of the production?
No question to add BUT I did want to say that this video was AMAZING, enjoyable, cracked me up, and also reminded me of the human-ness of Youtube. Also big shout out to Joe for the outstanding visual storytelling with the editing!
I loved that you talked to Grandpa Hank, and I know you all (especially Sabrina) have been friendly with him for a while, but how did you get the courage to ask him if you could interview him about YouTube history?
Hey guys, great video! I wanted to know how did you come up with the gameshow analogy, I just loved what a good fit it was in order to explain the behavior of the algorithm
Is the wall okay from removing the tape?
