It is much easier to hire your 20th person than your 1st.

Don't feel bad about getting someone to click on something if the thing they're clicking on doesn't suck.

I love iPhones. I love iPhone 6 Pluses and iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s's and iPhone 5cs. I also love iPhone 4s. I'm sure if I had been savvy enough to own one, I would've loved the original iPhone.

I started paying my bills with YouTube money around the time I hit a million views a month.

Gone are the days when every successful creator got their own New York Times profile. Nowadays, professional Internet creator is just another job.

The landscape of professional creation continues to get more complex. Organizations and platforms of all sorts are vying for a slice of the value created by the relationship between creators and their audiences.

No one wants to be the creator with the reputation for bad mouthing sponsors!

We had such a dedicated and interested audience that they provided the opportunity to do cool new things - and we like doing cool new things.

Notoriety is such a prized thing. Society suddenly wants your opinion on things - everyone from your mom to an editor at The New York Times.

I found out about Logan Paul in the traditional news.

I just want people to be excited about hard stuff, that's what engineering is.

Teachers are asked to do so much, and they can't be good at every single thing.

Podcasts, and the way they are distributed, are extremely simple technologically. Indeed, 'RSS,' the feed protocol that connects podcast apps to the audio files that they need, stands for 'Really Simple Syndication.'

Podcasts are a lovely corner of the Internet.

As long as we continue to invest in good content that increases excitement about and understanding of science, we're on the right side of this fight, and I have no problem at all stealing from the toolbox of the clickbaiters.

I really strongly believe that we should be judged not by how we acted when we were ignorant, but how we responded when we were informed.

There's something exceptional about watching a video and simultaneously thinking 'That was genius!' and 'I could have done that!'

In the Big City, different feels good, like blazing a trail. In a small town, though, different can feel like trying real hard to look special. Or even like rubbing your neighbor's nose in your success.
