ABOUT US
We’re Colin and Samir, creators based out of Los Angeles California. We make videos about the creator economy, and the lessons we’ve learned over 10 years of being on RUclips. We also interview creators and try to get to the bottom of what’s working on RUclips and where the creator economy is headed.
What an honor to have been a part of this. Thank you for creating these special spaces for us, Colin and Samir!!
poo poo pee pee
Really loved your insight! So incredibly helpful for me as a creator 🙌 thanks for doing this
Congrats on the Streamy!!
With the boxing video, it was so good and I wanted to watch more! It also took a lot of time for me to watch it, but it was so interesting that I made sure to finish it! I’d love a sequel that goes even more in depth!
ur vids should be nominated for oscars bru they E P I C
thanks for hosting us, Colin and Samir! this was so much fun. it feels like everyone making youtube videos are colleagues, and this felt like the water cooler conversation (the best water cooler conversation ever). can't wait to see everyone at the streamys!
Just wanted to say that your thing with the gender bias on your content I feel like is a wider issue with how STEM is passived and understood by wider sociaty (if that makes sense)
ok
You have the same amount of subscribers like Colin and Samir lmao
Love that you commented on this video, made it that much easier for me to subscribe ❤
LOOKING FORWARD WORKING WITH YOU :)
This is rare. 7 people i'ved followed for many years all sit around one table and having a conversation. Insane. Thank you Colin and Samir!
My exact thoughts 🙂
They got the idea from the Hollywood Reporter. It’s not that ground breaking.
NEED THIS MORE MORE MORE. AMAZING
@@DB-ev5epYes, the actor’s roundtable is so great. Taking it and bringing to creators is an awesome spin. Love that this is going to be a series
Well said. Nothing more to add. I completely agree!
WOOOOOW, Colin and Samir keep making waves, getting all these creators in 1 room together is insane!
The Ali-gance is spreading!
Here before this blows up!
ok
ikr they be hitting it big
Here before this blows up
this mastermind thing is very awesome! do more!
Yeah, I agree. Give us more :D
Can we just take a minute and thank Colin and Samir for moderating this type of content...there is so much value in hearing this kind of transparency and vulnerability from all these guys/gals!
Ryan really shows his simplicity through this mastermind. Literally every comment he made I can see his trueness and transparency.
Had to watch this as soon as I saw it! My goodness, the talent in one room 👀
ok
Man, I love Ryan Trahan dude is such a positive force
One of my favorite creators BY FAR. Super cool to have him audit my channel last year at Airracks event. Seriously the most humble and positive creator on the platform
my favorite part is that all of these creators make positive uplifting content. Its good to know you can succeed making positive content
Ammar’s smile is so contagious. i can’t help but smile whenever he’s on the screen. his energy is so pure. Ammar (and the rest of the Yea Theory team) is the youtube goat.
I feel the same about him, his vibe is always so positive and wholesome ❤
I’d REALLY be interested to see a Shorts focused creator session similar to this.
Hands down the best round table discussion I've ever watched. The people, the questions, the answers, everything. SO MUCH WISDOM!! Thank you x10000 for making this happen.
Loved this round table episode!
What a Herculean logistical effort to get all these creators in the same room at the same time! Talk about an ownable brand-only Colin and Samir could make a video like this. Bravo y’all!
they are there for the streamys. this is sponserd by the streamys. was not that hard XD
I can't thank you guys enough for this one. I actually began tearing up at the end when you were discussing the impact you want to have on your audience and future creators. Truly a table of legends.
They’re so good at keeping everyone in the conversation🙌
All of those people, IN ONE ROOM😮
I think the one thing that connects all these amazing talents on RUclips, is their sheer positivity. Cleo with her positive future of technology, Ryan’s wholesomeness, Ammars humanity, Michelle’s struggle and overcoming of challenges and Zach kings awesome journey.
i agree!! i wanna smile and tear up and cry when watching youtube! i love these inspiring and positive people
Holy crap, yes Zach King!! That’s exactly what I’ve been saying about shorts subs. They not only didn’t help my long form views, they actually hurt them substantially! I’m not crazy! 😅
Facts!!
That was super entertaining and educational guys. Loved hearing from everyone!!
The crossover is hitting hard. YES Theory; Ammar, Matt, Thomas, Derin, reinginited my passion for RUclips during Covid when I was depressed. Seeing Ammar sitting on a table with Ryan Trahan who's currently my biggest inspiration and shifted my perspective on the kind of content I could make is mind boggling. Made around 5 videos so far this year and working on more, can only hope that it'd happen, but I hope one day both YES Theory and Ryan Trahan could see this and hopefully one day I could meet them in person. What a full circle moment that would be. Oh ye and Michelle Khare has also been a new inspiration for me since I graduated last year. W Video, W to all the creators, W Colin & Samir for creating something amazing
⭐This is the MCU of RUclips Storytellers ⭐
As a small creator I really appreciate Colin and Samir for making this amazing video! It is so great to see people who have been in this industry for a decade like Zach King and newcomers like Cleo Abram sharing together. It is overall very inspiring.
Seeing multiple creators talk to each other give us more perspective on working as a contend creator.
“What if what we did off camera, is what we did on camera”
That one phrase from Samir is so powerful, Hope no one flies by that 🔥
34:45 Oh shit, I had no idea that Colin and Samir edited this one?! This is literally one of my favourite Yes Theory videos as well, purely because of the story, what was shot, and also the editing too… I had no idea that I loved Colin & Samir’s work before I even knew that they existed😂😂😂
the thing with ryan is that he could take the most underwhelming idea and turn it into the most entertaining content to watch and that shows how smart and creative he is and that’s why his videos perform well and his audience show up every time…
this is the ultimate colab it must be a series because we never knew this is what we needed ❤ thank you to everyone who was there in front and off the camera making sure this came up so gooooooooooood
this was so wholesome and insightful!! so surprised there aren't more people listening to this. thank you Colin and Samir for making this happen!!
This feels like a high school cafeteria lunch table lunch and friends simply coming together and discussing class. LOVE IT. Feels perfect 😊🙏
Man, the energy here is sooo great, I can't imagine how much work it is to plan something like this and make it work, but whatever you guys did to make it happen, Do more!
I agree 100% :)!
I've a supporter of Ryan and his career since I believe early 2018 or prior to that. He has always to me been this amazing innovative person. His content has changed and evolved over time and, I have never lost interest in Ryans content. He captivates his audience through his love of interacting with others (no matter how awkward he is lmao) he still just loves learning about others and understanding their outlook on life. His content is so well put together and I am so glad more and more people everyday are seeing value in not only Ryans content but Ryans personality too. Proud of u Ryan keep up the amazing work :)
Just listened to your latest podcast where you discuss the audio issues with this - I have to say that my hat is off to your editors, they've done a fantastic job of cleaning it up and I'm so glad it was deemed good enough for release 👍
A video that perhaps doesn't get many views but that really helped me as I've been in this market for years. Thank you very much and a hug from Brazil
I feel like there should be a playlist with all of the videos they talked about. Many of them I have not seen yet. Also really enjoyed the energy from everyone. It feels like we are sitting down talking with friends. This is great and I would love to see more.
this was incredibly insightful
Excellent video - I really enjoyed this!
bro this i gonna be y’all’s most popular video i’ve been watching y’all for years love your vids
We’ve been posting for 5 years at 36k and it always feels like we’re just getting started! this video is so comforting and inspiring to hear people talk about the exact thing I have endless passion for! Can’t wait for the next one! Thank you!
An absolute goldmine. This is so smooth, everyone got to deliver so much value and rawness of their experiences without having any conversational blunders. Everyone was so down to earth, damn. They definitely deserve to be on top. Thank you for this, Colin and Samir and the gang.
Such a special episode. I hope they do this once in a while as a shock release, this was was exciting
I’ve watched this video so many times alone and with friends, I love seeing the perspectives of the different creators coming together to talk about differences and similarities. Definitely eye opening and one of the best videos produced by Colin & Samir
I’ve been around since the vlog days and I’m so glad that “quit” video never saw the light of day. Y’all are one of my favs.
This was amazing, loved how genuine everyone is and seeing that even as well-known creators on RUclips, y'all are fans of each other and smaller creators as well. Love seeing the expansion of the show having a group element to it!
Michelle's Butler Academy video has one of the best intros I've ever watched. Blown away at how good that video was!
This was one of my favorite videos and has a lot of depth to it and the different perspectives make it more interesting.
as a growing youtuber who is still learning I found this so valuable and so interesting even the big RUclipsrs have the same issues and worries as smaller ones. brilliant Colin & Samir
10 minutes in and already obsessed with this. (The sound is a little echoey, but I know it takes time with new styles) so excited for y’all!
All my favorite creators in one room! This was an absolute treat to watch. Thanks Colin and Samir for putting this together.
Love this Round Table format! The subjects, reactions and shared experiences were unbelievable.
Dude I keep coming back to this and it’s safe to say that I am addicted to this format. Brilliant. Can’t wait to see more.
This format needs to be a live stream and takes questions from the audience coz there's so much gems to this conversation that I already have listed 15 questions in the first 10minutes. I look up to all these creators and to see them in one table is just insane. So much wisdom and knowledge in one setting.
This was wonderful! Thank you so much, Colin and Samir; and all the guests! 🎉❤
This was really fun to watch! Would love to see more of this round table format again in the channel 👌🏻
what an incredible opportunity to listen in on some of the top creators in the industry chop it up! Thank you Colin and Samir!
This was my favorite episode of yours by far. So natural and great conversation. Loved how the panel turned it around. Please release the We are quitting RUclips video. It is so inspirational.
this is my favorite video you guys have done so far, this conversation felt like an honor to even get to watch. thank u
This is the MEGA EVOLUTION of the show. I need more group conversation like that. So cool to see these amazing creative talking about my favorite topic. I wanna cry, it's so beautiful 🤩🥹
I love every single one of these creators and uniting them for this conversation is just fantastic. I hope everyone checks out the work they all tirelessly do
Huge inspiration to see so many unique styles that still produce BANGERS! Hearing everyone’s perspective on their process was so interesting, I could keep watching, great stuff.
So much value in this video! Keep up the amazing uploads guys💫
Thank you Colin and Samir, your podcasts help get me through my work day and inspire my creativity!!
that channel has evoched my dream of having a success youtube channel like never before, thank cloin and samir to creating that space for the connections between creators
Love how you opened such a unique door for us into the minds of these incredible creators. To see them react and build on each other's responses really gave this an authentic conversation vibe. Watched the whole thing, and will probably watch it again in a while. Very inspiring!
Please make more! I loved having all these people talking about the future and current day of RUclips! It’s so cool!
That was fantastic! Appreciate you guys getting this group together for such an insightful and inspiring conversation.
I love, love this format, Colin & Samir! And what a great first cast, such fun, hardworking people with good ethics. Keep it up!
Really cool roundtable discussion! Hope to see more of these in the future
I LOVE this format of video podcast, thank you for continuing convos and making unique meet ups to share information!
We need more of these kind of videos!!
Thanks Colin and Samir for this mind blowing vid
Fantastic conversation! Thank you Collin and Samir for putting this together (and honestly, the audio didn't bug me at all...I think you guys are too hard on yourselves because the value-to-quality ratio was clearly there). I especially appreciated @michelleKare and @cleoabram 's thoughts on women on YT and what they can focus on (and what they can't) to be leaders as they create stellar content.
A masterclass of a roundtable. What a fantastic conversation; never got bored and felt like I learned a lot
Y’all are KILLIN IT!!! I’ve never been more excited for a video. Keep pushing the bar.
great video, thanks guys!
Guys, this was so good! Would love to hear more conversations like this. Colin and Samir - you guys have been so helpful for my journey as a creator. I started taking RUclips seriously about a year ago, and my little writing advice channel has now grown to 23,000 subs. The sense of camaraderie, community, and insight in your videos has been incredibly motivating and affirming for me, especially because I live in a place where there's not a ton of other creators. Keep up the great work!
This was amazing. Thank you Colin and Samir and all of these creators for this gift of a video!
Ryan Trahan is a national treasure!
This is incredible. Some of my favorite creators at the table. So much gold in this!
This was a great video packed with so much good information and a nice look behind the scenes of different creators. Thank ou for making this video Colin and Samir.
love this video!! this format is so cool and exciting, love the interview/seminar style where all the creators can give their input on any question/comment. makes for a very dynamic 'sit down' style video. i wasn't familiar with all the creators but seeing familiar faces alongside them made this so interesting. definitely a new series!!
This was so wholesome guys, I really like how you drive the conversations and it was engaging the whole time. I love this format keep it up Colin and Samir. Love from India!! All of the round table is an inspiration
just seeing so many amazing creators talk about youtube, their goals, etc is so great, the insight is wonderful!
This was amazing!! So many talented creators in one room from different backgrounds, love what you guys are doing!
This is SOOOOO COOL!!!
I respect SO MUCH any of you at the table. Thank you for recording and publishing this. We're here listening to you guys, but it already feels like a community. thank you!
it's so interesting and inspiring to have some of the best creators (if not the best) around one table sharing their input and having constructive, fruitful and fun conversations
This was such a great video!! Side note - Respect to Samir for rocking perhaps the deepest V I've ever seen
Such a nice idea and super informative! Also so many of my favourite content creators on one table! Couldn't get any better.
All these iconic & creative people at the table. Such a fruitful conversation. I loved the transparency about the financial piece of how they manage their money with their team!
seeing all my favorite creators all in one room and hearing about their perspectives on how they look at YT and what is really their visions as creators really opened my mind and I guess it helped me in a way to get my self know better.
Coming from the podcast where you mentioned the audio being so had that you wouldn't post it. Thank you for posting it, this aounds way better than I exoected and was tremendously valuable.
As a youtuber I find your videos very therapeutic. Great work.
wow. i love this video so much. there's an almost magical synergy when similarly passionate people connect and have a conversation. i really appreciate how everyone shared their perspectives, respected each other and their work/journey/creativity, and had such a genuine and open character. to begin with, i already had respect for these creators, but i gained so much more for them after listening to them speak because they seem like such beautiful human beings. thank you colin and samir for creating and organizing this video, and congrats to everyone for their streamy nominations! u all deserve it, and im rooting for all your future endeavors!
First time viewer of a round table video from you both and WOW did I walk away legit feeling like a fly on the wall from some of my favorite creators.
As a creator who feels quite alone in my niche this made me feel like I was apart of something. Thanks for putting RBI’s together 👊🏻
i dont think ive had so much fun while learning so much at the same time. thanks colin and samir!!
You can hear the experience come through in paradoxically educational (learn from us) and humble (but we dk everything) ways. Watching you all interact and learn from each other is so inspirational and valuable. The range of topics covered, the diversity of channel types, the difference of knowing each other, all of it! One of the few videos this long I’ve watched every second of - incredible to hear from you all and thank you C&S. Felt like I was at that table.
You guys definitely need to make more of these.
Roundtable with some of my favorite creators is so awesome
Thanks Colin and Samir
AMAZING. One of my favorites from you guys.
Hope you do more of these! still and hour in but i woould hope the microphone quality will get better. but i love it either way
