@hamingnu6610

6 ай бұрын

Definitely. I think it was definitely exemplified by the Vine boom where, like them or not, you had a bunch of creators who came in because they had token personalities. I'm not saying their fans loved them for those archetypal or 'token' personalities, but they were able to capture an increasing audience because their 'thing' could be summed up in a few words, or in a 6-second video every week. The original KZreadrs didn't think they could compete because Viners had to inherently play around a much lower attention-span (and therefore quicker but more 'juicy' content) and a much more mobile-oriented environment, where one's 'relevance' and ability to stay on the platform with a consistent amount of clicks would've had a much shorter lifespan than a typical KZreadr. I'm not saying that's bad, what I'm saying is that - there would've been an advantage to doing that - that the original KZreadrs wouldn't have had from the get go. So, one of the things they could do to inhibit a quick shift into this totally different paradigm just to compete with the Viners was to use a single persona that they could bend and shape at will just to succeed. They could no longer just make a video they wanted to make on a saturday evening, telling their viewers about how their day went - they had to be a personality because a bunch of these creators from other platforms were coming in, already born with archetypal and bombastic personalities. A lot of these Viners had already streamlined what would come to be a much more clickable format, and the only way for the original KZreadrs to compete was to ditch the flexibility of old laid-back KZread, and to adopt the streamlining and content optimization that would have already been subconsciously well understood by the Viners - with the biggest part being that you now also had to completely optimize your persona as well just to stay relevant. But now that a lot of these people are well established and have gone years making a relatively stable living: they're no longer worried about making too many compromises just to stay 'relevant'. Sure, you still have to do a load of work to 'stay', but you no longer need to do much to keep up. There is no longer enough change happening on YT that warrants the entire present creatorbase to suddenly do an annual shift in what they want to do just to continue getting views, and thus easing your viewerbase to a much more genuine 'persona' is finally completely doable.

Revisiting this after MatPat announced his retirement, we should have seen the signs!

I think Matthew and Stephanie might be the only creators that could announce selling the company without me immediately thinking "Oh, this will ruin the channel and its just a matter of time until its all gone.". I know they have more knowledge about the business part of youtube than anyone else and I actually trust their decisions. It was just "OK. Im ready for this to be the example of how it can be done successfully.". Still a tiny flutter in my stomach, but I choose to go with my instinct and knowledge. Its gonna be fine.

this didn't feel like an interview anymore but more like two friends catching up which made this video feel much more organic

I'd kill to hear MatPat go on a deep dive about KZread eras ngl I loved this interview!! It was super fun- I didn't know they both knew each other for so long!

Everything Matt said about Stephanie not being taken seriously makes me so sad. She's one of the best parts of the channels, in all the ways we've seen her and I'm sure countless ways we haven't. I've watched much less GTLive since Steph "left" the channel, and I secretly keep hoping there will be more Kindergarten sequels just so they have an excuse to bring her back on camera. Steph deserves all the love, respect, and support in the world ❤

This is nostalgic as hell. Anthony's days in Smosh was an era of KZread that will forever be ingrained in my memory. Even though I miss the "good ol days" I'm happy to see how well he is doing right now.

Hell yeah! Love these guys! I don't agree with everything MatPat and Anthony say/believe, but they are both really fun and likeable guys! This video was awesome! Edit: You shall never know what this reply said before the (edited) tag was added. >:)

to be fair, the title just says he just spends a day with matpat

This was one of the best episodes. It was all so natural and nice. And man, he's so smart. And hearing him talk about how he had to literally force people to pay attention to someone else other than himself just warms my heart. And saddens me in equal measure. Thank you, both, for existing. It's been a horrible day, but this video made it 100 times better.

Sorry you had a tough day! Glad the vid made it better. Nothing like wholesome Anthony videos after a rough one eh? :)

the fact that i just got this video in my recommended 💔

This is one of my favorite "I spent a day with" interviews. It was very entertaining to see how you guys interact with each other. I had no idea you guys got along like this.

shout out to Davy for the immaculate captions. not only are they not auto generated, AND includes stuff like who's talking and [character voice] etc. but also describes the convo so well?? like. [belly laughing] and [guffaw] when they could've just said laughing but they specified. idk man I just think that the people doing the captions don't get enough recognition and as someone who almost always uses subtitles i really appreciate it

Yesss!!!! People who do captions fully help me so so so much. I’m hard of hearing in one ear and also have ADHD to point I need captions to focus. People who do their captions seriously or who have fun with their captions make my days. Same with people who do trigger or content warnings. It’s the small things in life

Who else is revisiting this after matpat’s announcement?

Shoutout to Stephanie for being a rock in the storm for Matpat! 💚💚

Anthony has come a long way building his new brand and channel outside of Smosh, so watching him talk about the company so candidly feels really nostalgic. It would be cool one day to see Anthony spend the day with Ian, and they can reflect on how much they’ve both grown since early smosh days.

matt is so wholesome, he truly has so much care and passion for an industry that doesn't share even a %1 of that passion. hearing him break down the eras, talk about stephanie, talk about his past history (with acting and analytics), along with his struggle to get a job aside from his intelligence. he's a treasure and i'm glad he's survived in this space

I’m actually really intrigued by Anthony and Matpat’s previos work relationship. Like, now they talk as equals, both having their respective channels, but back then? Well, Anthony was clear he didn’t like the direction the company was taking his channel, while Matpat seems to have been a big part in deciding what that direction was! Like, board meetings and stuff! These guys have such a long history I didn’t know existed!

I love podcasts when you can tell the people are great friends because there’s so much chemistry

Love how Anthony doesn’t just interview, it’s not just one sided, he actually has a conversation with the people he interviews and it’s so fun to watch!!!!

You can tell how much Anthony respects matpat in the space and how much knowledge he has. Love seeing these two together!

Well. This all makes a lot of sense in hindsight. He was finalizing the foundation he was gonna leave behind. Whatba guy.

Quite a fitting title given what happened recently. Looks like Anthony decided to do something about his regret
