The Fact that Colin and Samir went from giving up on youtube 3 years ago to now interviewing the CEO of YouTube himself, just shows how this platform is kinda like the “new American Dream”

You guys keep stepping it up every video. Really impressed with your guests and grind, this is definitely one of the most well made channels on the platform. Keep up the fantastic work!

I’ll give Neil a A+ for question avoidance

This really changed the way I feel about Neal. When he first took the role of CEO there was alot of bad publicity but I genuinely feel like he wants nothing but the best for YouTube and Creators. Colin and Samir, thank you for asking (and suggesting) the right questions. The community needs you guys!

Loved this Interview. As a YouTube creator, It's so helpful to hear Neal speak. Even the non-answers are answers, and seeing the enthusiasm of on different topics shows where the platform is headed. A+

He didn't seem to want to talk about the 30/70 membership split with creators.🤔 Dodged that one nicely...

My takeaways
1. Embrace shorts and monetization opportunities
3. Be cautious of AI generated content
3. Engage with your audience! Respond to comments! Key for long term success.
4. Subscribers still matter
5. Engage w/ YouTube updates and help to shape the platform
6. Collaborating with other creators is very important for your success.
7. Adapt to changes and evolve as YouTube evolves

The fact the CEO is asking creators their opinions on things and how they've experienced things makes me feel so seen and like my opinion matters. wow. 👏💗

Love how he genuinely asks questions about your guys thoughts on topics

They should add in a function whereby viewers from shorts are able to report or inform/tag the relevant videos to the channels that have their videos reuse by other creators. That would be more practical than having an ai capturing and recognizing audio, easier to be done and could be pushed out earlier too.

Neal Mohan thank you for joining Colin and Samir for the interview, this has been a huge help.

Really glad Neal asked questions back for opinions, feels like he’s the kind of guy who’d be in a CEO role and yet would listen to individual people and walk away with a new thought and idea, like he wouldn’t throw that away if that makes sense. Very fun interview interesting period we’re all in when it comes to content’s meaning right now and glad to get Neal’s views on that current ecosystem:) <3

So wildly impressed that you guys were able to land this interview!
I found it hard to tell if he was genuinely curious to hear your opinions or if he was simply deflecting your questions so that he didn’t have to give a concrete answer.

Happy to see that the CEO of YouTube is so thoughtful and really listens to your feedback and concerns. It’s shows that he’s a good CEO which means a good product follows. One concern I have with the introduction of shorts is the reduction of attention spans. YouTube is the only platform with consumers who have a longer attention span. Hopefully they take this in consideration as the introduction of shorts or focus on it could lower the attention span of their consumers resulting in a lower quality of consumers as advertisers pay much better when our attention spans are longer. One other introduction that could be cool is our own photo feed in the community page so the updates are listed in three by three allowing a curated feed. Could be cool✌🏼

This man asked almost as many questions back to you guys as you did to him, you can really tell this was a mutually beneficial interview, and with his sort of inquisitive mindset it's very easy to see how he got the position he's in.
