You're a curator of this underbelly of the internet.

Yeah, YouTube poop.

YTP, YouTube poop.

I need a translator and I'm on the internet a lot.

So there's a crop of young creators emerging right now that were born into the world of the

internet. And as Ben of the Week calls it, they were chronically online. I consider myself someone who

knows a lot about YouTube. But when I came across Ben's videos, I really couldn't understand

views. Being a mom for 24 hours, 3.6 million views. I think Ben of the week shows us what the next

subscribers and he was just nominated for first person creator of the year at the streamies

alongside Arak, Danny Duncan, Sophia Nygaard, and Ryan Traahan. In this conversation, we talked

to Ben about his rise on YouTube. We learn about what motivates him as a creator and learn more about the origins

of the internet subcultures that he taps into to drive millions of views. This episode is

sponsored by Discord. Now something that's really cool as creators is that our community has really
