Quotes

“If you’re really into gaming there’s not really anything on TV.”

“Viewers really like the authentic type of content from regular people just playing games because they can relate to that. And I think that’s a huge reason why people prefer to watch YouTube videos. It really is a totally different experience and it’s something you can’t find on TV.”

“In the early days I remember maybe 1,000 views was something that would be off the charts for me. It took, I would say, about a good year and a half (to start becoming popular). It started really slow and I didn’t take it really seriously. It wasn’t something that I strived to do to the best of my ability like I do now.”

“Anything on the Internet can blow up and go away… You’re only as good as your last video on YouTube.”

“I made sure I was successful enough on YouTube before I (dropped out). I probably stopped school a lot later than most full-time YouTubers did.”
