[@MichelleKhare]

What an honor to have been a part of this. Thank you for creating these special spaces for us, Colin and Samir!!

[@koiaseb]

poo poo pee pee

[@dizzydisciple]

Really loved your insight! So incredibly helpful for me as a creator 🙌 thanks for doing this

[@-taylord2am-473]

Congrats on the Streamy!!

[@annelisebreman8801]

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!

[@fun_g]

ur vids should be nominated for oscars bru they E P I C

[@Oliver_Wester]

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!

[@sakasalamiabidemi8766]

My exact thoughts 🙂

[@DB-ev5ep]

They got the idea from the Hollywood Reporter. It’s not that ground breaking.

[@andrewboryk3904]

NEED THIS MORE MORE MORE. AMAZING

[@andrewboryk3904]

@@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

[@notjamieatall]

Well said. Nothing more to add. I completely agree!

[@CleoAbram]

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!

[@onlyo9025]

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-lu8gx]

ok

[@RandomStuffJay]

You have the same amount of subscribers like Colin and Samir lmao

[@TheCho5enJuan]

Love that you commented on this video, made it that much easier for me to subscribe ❤

[@NameMo-kj2rf]

LOOKING FORWARD WORKING WITH YOU :)

[@TheAliKoca]

WOOOOOW, Colin and Samir keep making waves, getting all these creators in 1 room together is insane!

[@nexztercr]

The Ali-gance is spreading!

[@storm-the-wize]

Here before this blows up!

[@Ok-lu8gx]

ok

[@r22gamer54]

ikr they be hitting it big

[@ProximaCentauri55]

Here before this blows up

[@Secondcropcreative]

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!

[@akaMilo]

this mastermind thing is very awesome! do more!

[@languagelessdan2092]

Yeah, I agree. Give us more :D

[@T1J]

my favorite part is that all of these creators make positive uplifting content. Its good to know you can succeed making positive content

[@Tingman]

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.

[@keviingonzalezz]

Ryan really shows his simplicity through this mastermind. Literally every comment he made I can see his trueness and transparency.

[@OmarZaki]

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.

[@thatllwork_official]

Had to watch this as soon as I saw it! My goodness, the talent in one room 👀

[@Ok-lu8gx]

ok

[@DangieBros]

Loved this round table episode!

[@svntn]

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.

[@meggggg]

I feel the same about him, his vibe is always so positive and wholesome ❤

[@firrehydrant]

Man, I love Ryan Trahan dude is such a positive force

[@happytoberu]

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

[@andrewlarson7057]

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!

[@sour_milk_tho7369]

they are there for the streamys. this is sponserd by the streamys. was not that hard XD

[@zacharywong5301]

I think the one thing that connects all these amazing talents on KZbin, 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.

[@leximatejeck4995]

i agree!! i wanna smile and tear up and cry when watching youtube! i love these inspiring and positive people

[@09137]

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.

[@landokalriz]

That was super entertaining and educational guys. Loved hearing from everyone!!

[@RomelKassaye]

They’re so good at keeping everyone in the conversation🙌

[@VazAonde]

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

[@ZiberianDev]

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.

[@MovementbyDavid]

I’d REALLY be interested to see a Shorts focused creator session similar to this.

[@SnaggedBro]

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!

[@antoinemurenga]

The crossover is hitting hard. YES Theory; Ammar, Matt, Thomas, Derin, reinginited my passion for KZbin 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

[@TheMegaUltimate]

Seeing multiple creators talk to each other give us more perspective on working as a contend creator.

[@withluvmeg]

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 :)

[@konehonofficial]

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!

[@DarkBow_]

I agree 100% :)!

[@thatllwork_official]

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! 😅

[@dizzydisciple]

Facts!!

[@contentprince]

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

[@happytoberu]

This feels like a high school cafeteria lunch table lunch and friends simply coming together and discussing class. LOVE IT. Feels perfect 😊🙏

[@The.Pop.Finder]

At 29:41 they were talking about the dangers of trying different things and having one of those things pop off and feeling stuck. That what happened to me. I grew 2M followers, felt I could only make one type of video, plateaued, burnt out, and now I’m having such a hard time getting started with something I actually want to do.

[@RenzoMaano]

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.

[@MasonWebb123]

bro this i gonna be y’all’s most popular video i’ve been watching y’all for years love your vids

[@ctrlaltrees]

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 👍

[@cattywatty12]

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!!

[@kylenelson6141]

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.

[@RobertoBlake]

This was one of my favorite videos and has a lot of depth to it and the different perspectives make it more interesting.

[@TheCreatorJournals]

what an incredible opportunity to listen in on some of the top creators in the industry chop it up! Thank you Colin and Samir!

[@MattEpicAdventures]

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 🤩🥹

[@BestMoviesInLessTime]

“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 🔥

Thanks for this video, guys! It was so much inspiring! There are lots of things that we struggle being a small creator and see that the "big guys" also pass through the same doubts is so comforting. After all, we are all human beings trying to improve and develop ourselves ✌️😁

[@bloomfilms]

Such a special episode. I hope they do this once in a while as a shock release, this was was exciting

[@IamNathanMills]

All of those people, IN ONE ROOM😮

[@WalkWithMeTim]

as a growing youtuber who is still learning I found this so valuable and so interesting even the big KZbinrs have the same issues and worries as smaller ones. brilliant Colin & Samir

[@HarryTBeck]

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😂😂😂

[@MYSTlC7]

this was incredibly insightful

[@marceyc2236]

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.

[@BAMCollectibles]

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 👊🏻

[@TheHappyHummy]

1:17:00 I think Michele's problem is the exact contrast of what Ryan's problem was! Ryan basically said "people like chilled stuff, so Ill do more chilled stuff, amd have fun while doing it." Michelle said "More people should like high intensity stuff, so I'm going to keep pushing it until the market changes." The intention is different, so the tone is different, and that connection to the audience makes a world of a difference in how it performs on KZbin. When I think of Ryan, my immediate reaction is to smile. I think "fun/funny." When I think of Michelle, my first thought is "struggle." And it garners reapect, but leaves out connection. I'll make a full video om this later.

[@GoalGuys]

Michelle's Butler Academy video has one of the best intros I've ever watched. Blown away at how good that video was!

[@BenjiSelby]

This was amazing, loved how genuine everyone is and seeing that even as well-known creators on KZbin, 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!

[@DrewJoiner]

So much value in this video! Keep up the amazing uploads guys💫

[@W4NMotovlog]

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.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

One of the best most inspiring interviews I've ever watched. You are all incredible people and creators. Time to get back to work serving the community I love WHILST developing myself. :)

[@christinacrabtree4947]

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!

[@jaredcaines6688]

52:03 At least 80% of KZbin activity is via my TV. I have some physical health limitations and am at home a lot so that “lean back experience on KZbin” is totally what works best for me. Thank you guys for doing this, super cool to see you all together. 👏🏼

[@danpearson290]

A masterclass of a roundtable. What a fantastic conversation; never got bored and felt like I learned a lot

[@aditya_a]

Zach's "having a creative language around it" was so good, I never thought of that before like "what phase is that idea" is such a good question to ask a creative

[@Jed_Herne]

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 KZbin 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!

[@DigitalEngine]

As a youtuber I find your videos very therapeutic. Great work.

[@jmajcan]

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

[@mariamhaj814]

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…

[@loganhughes6006]

Ryan is so friendly and down to earth. A very genuine person. You don’t see a lot of famous people like that

[@JaredOwen]

Excellent video - I really enjoyed this!

[@jacobsouza]

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.

[@akshayjangid641]

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

[@MaybeSomeone7483]

We need more of these kind of videos!! Thanks Colin and Samir for this mind blowing vid

[@AuthenTech]

Really cool roundtable discussion! Hope to see more of these in the future

[@dizzydisciple]

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.

[@Faz_Plays]

Incredibly inspiring and one of my favourite videos you've ever done

[@RetroRaconteur]

That was fantastic! Appreciate you guys getting this group together for such an insightful and inspiring conversation.

[@brittanyratelle]

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.

[@midran_be]

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

[@AmritaBhortake]

All my favorite creators in one room! This was an absolute treat to watch. Thanks Colin and Samir for putting this together.

[@Geniusproduction]

Yesssssssssss, this is the type of content I love! I watch Hollywood Roundtables all the time, this is a dream to see the creators in this space in this format.

[@SwankyDiscGolf]

This was such a great video!! Side note - Respect to Samir for rocking perhaps the deepest V I've ever seen

[@AsianFoodNerd]

⭐This is the MCU of KZbin Storytellers ⭐

[@ClassicGabe]

Please make more! I loved having all these people talking about the future and current day of KZbin! It’s so cool!

[@FlorenceRyan]

I love, love this format, Colin & Samir! And what a great first cast, such fun, hardworking people with good ethics. Keep it up!

[@YooZeus]

this actually helped me a lot because i thought i was just not being good at this but i see where i can improve

[@laurenmurray7]

I’ve never watched Ryan Trajan before, but seeing how thoughtful, inclusive, and humble he is in this video has made me an instant fan. Running to see his work now! Thanks to Colin and Samir for such a cool video and bringing together some of my favourite creators over the years! Very well done!

[@mariamhaj814]

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

[@MoshMob]

Thank you Colin and Samir, your podcasts help get me through my work day and inspire my creativity!!

[@MatthewCicanese]

This was wonderful! Thank you so much, Colin and Samir; and all the guests! 🎉❤

[@KingAsante]

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!

[@SantosChronicles]

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 KZbin video. It is so inspirational.

[@BestMoviesInLessTime]

Took two days to finish this video, well worth it Another piece of wisdom is from Zach, “will this be viewable in 20 years” brilliant evergreen strategy

[@Vikashpatel007]

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

[@off-the-label]

This is so awesome! A bunch of great people at one table! The funny thing is, Ryan is the most comfortable to watch here and he really eases the room!

[@prolithix9879]

Ammar is such a nice guy, so cool to hear how he supported the boys early on and how strong their relationship is.

[@FedericoVitiello]

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!

[@livingtheskylife]

This is incredible. Some of my favorite creators at the table. So much gold in this!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

This was really fun to watch! Would love to see more of this round table format again in the channel 👌🏻

[@arthurau67]

I opened this video thinking I’d skip around and just watch certain topics … and here I am 96 minutes later having watched the entire thing. 😂 Really speaks to the incredible talent and creativity in that room as well as Colin and Samir’s ability to bring out great responses/ stories from every single person.

[@dwaynesview]

This is the best video you’ve created guys. For creators who are trying to come up and learn as much as possible about KZbin. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I would love for the opportunity to sit down with a big creator and have a conversation. This is literally an insight into the best minds in KZbin. You NEED to keep this segment. This is amazing! I’ve learnt so much. Thank You!!

[@FumezCreates]

"Don't say that...beleive in yourself" I love the support they give one another.

[@leximatejeck4995]

this is my favorite video you guys have done so far, this conversation felt like an honor to even get to watch. thank u

[@lilly4504]

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!

[@kiallopebella5488]

first time i sat through a full yt video at regular speed. and i mean i watch less than 10min videos on 2x speed, to stick out a 1.5 hr video in full length at one shot.. you guys are making some great content. and love how these big creators are recognizing lessor know creators like kariza and colt...so happy to see them getting built up and having support from you all

[@anoutinabil]

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.
