    WOW!! THANKS so much for watching me! This has TOTALLY made my day! RUclips has changed my life. All my friends are because of RUclips. RUclips has allowed me to take my passion to the internet and connect with others with similar passions. It has also allowed me to connect and work with fellow autistic people. I have also started a small elevator museum as well! THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN for the shout out! at 04:00

    Hey there, Colin and Samir! Im from Brazil and Im a huge fan of the channel, because I love learning about the creators economy. I was really happy to see you guys mention some brazillian creators a few times in this video! We have hundreds of thousands of big creators here in our country, with millions and millions of followers, but honestly don’t know if they can go “worldwide”, even with dubbed content. I say that because of the “personalization” of content nowadays, and how we receive the content the algorithim already knows we wanna see! But, its always great to imagine this kind of future ❤🇧🇷

    Creators as Curators of content stuck out to me as a throughline in this video. This remind me of a a short story by Harry Harrison, where people developed teleportation technology, and there were millions of teleportation portals around the universe. And overtime the common valuable intel became "codes" to the more unique places one could teleport to.
    Creators to me are those "code" holders who would find interesting content and share it with their audience.

    I would LOVE to see an option to overlay a sign language interpreter. Toggle it on and off like CC.
    Aloud reached out to us about a year ago. We teach American Sign Language and I couldn’t see how overdubbing other spoken languages besides English made sense for us.

    • @ItsViolaRose
      @ItsViolaRose Год назад +4

      Sign language interpreters are typically more of an irl thing because cc is more comprehensive and includes people with hearing loss who don’t know sign language. It would be like choosing to have a translator speak over the audio instead of using subtitles or dubs.

  • @metaylim
    @metaylim Год назад +1

    Hi Colin and Samir,
    I’m Ohad from Israel.
    I love your content, but I feel like you guys live in such a bubble. I think it’s a shame a little bit because many aspiring creators listen to you and they might think that to succeed they have to get in this bubble too.
    I’ve been thinking about writing to you for a while about empowering “local” or “niche” content creators and listening to this podcast about language barriers being broken I decided it’s about time I did it.
    My two brothers and I have been full time content creators IN HEBREW since summer 2017.
    6 years we’ve been doing this and we are barely gonna hit 100k this year.
    But you know what? We’ve been making awesome stuff that we are really proud of, we’ve been making a living, and it’s all thanks to this relatively small audience.
    From the first day, we knew that starting a channel in Hebrew is a huge barrier. there are less than 10 million Hebrew speakers worldwide. We knew that our value proposition is not going to be millions of subs, but tens of thousands of people that all live in a tiny country. For local advertisers that’s enough to pay us the bills and support our imagination, and that's the point for us :-)
    When you guys talked about the potential of this dubbing technology, Colin immediately talked about the potential for the biggest channels. That about summerises the bubble that you are in.
    I’m sorry if I come off critical, I’m not offended in the name of local creators. I’m just kinda worried that many talented creators will fail in the attempt to become global, instead of shining in their local community and language.
    Yes, being a global creator can be much more profitable, obviously. But not everything in life should be around profit. especially not art.
    Yes, the idea that my content can be transformed to all languages with a click is amazing. But the nature of my content is tailored to this certain community and that’s what so special about it. Also, you can translate language but you cannot translate culture or local memes and many other aspects. If creators will make videos with global audience in mind, that would change the essence of the content in ways that won’t resonate with local viewers.
    I think native English speakers don’t appreciate how lucky they are. Again it’s not only language. When you publish content you don’t even have to think about foreign viewers, we not only understand your language, we understand your culture and tends and memes. That won’t happen to a Japanese channel even after AI will translate their stuff. AI might never be good at Hebrew because it’s so small it might not be worth the resources…
    Sorry for the rant.
    Now that you’re at the deep end, I want you to inspire and empower creators to not aim for the sky. Tell them about channels like mine, that has been financially supporting the creativity of 3 people for 6 years with not even 100k. It’s not only about language. Creators from Alabama might be able to make amazing content about Alabama, but they might feel that there’s no point because being on the global scale is the only way to go, so they wouldn’t make anything… or they might just try to imitate MrBeast, and veer off their “localized” potential...

    @es_fernyy 6 месяцев назад

    My gosh! I SUPER enjoyed the fact that you guys mentioned the k-pop fandom as an economy of sorts! That is how my interest in social media got started actually!!
    I was a Kpop tumblr blogger as a teen. As my follower count grew I found myself getting more serious about sharing the news of the group, the latest fanart, fics, and inaccessible content to International fans. Many of my online peers worked hard everyday to write, design, journal, edit, translate commentate and much more. FOR FREE. Just because we enjoyed our prospective roles! Resume worthy skills!
    Being a “groupie” had negative implications but I could never be less than utterly amazed at the work, creativity and dedication of the fans. There was notoriety to be gained within the fandom for sure.

    i appreciate kevin's simple answer at 23:49 when it came to vtubers since i admit the angle of this chapter made me kind of side-eye the possible bringing up consuming anime as a trend/east asian culture as an aesthetic which is really exhausting to hear as a Korean-Japanese gal online. hearing him say that the new virtual industry has the same potential and worth as other content brought me relief honestly and i'm hoping others can embrace that mentality as the vtuber boom continues (grew up listening to Korean music bc duh and the 2013 hallyu boom kinda scarred me once the world decided kpop was the newest toy ^^;.)
    24:40-25:03 is also an interesting segment since this "scalable" system that's already present across global IPs in terms of v/o roles and legacy characters but is also something that's kind of touched on in east asian entertainment through "graduations" and career renewals--at least in the korean/japanese spheres (e.g. kr/jp music, idols, and yah vtubers) with how the people behind the curtain of specific celeb positions will leave but their groups + personas will continue w/o them
