How To Be Cool When You’re YouTube Famous

1.5M YouTube subscribers and still cool enough to take a pic.

Here's the story of meeting YouTube celebs in the airport

🧵

I was in the airport the other day and saw a group of dudes followed around by a camera crew... This piqued my interest...

I asked the camera guy as he passed "what are you guys documenting?"

He casually said that it was for a YouTube channel called @FamilyFriendsYT...

Me: Cool, what's it about?

Camera guy: A group of dudes playing pranks and stuff... it's NOT family friendly...

I look them up immediately.

Definitely not family friendly, but these guys are crushing it.

Whatever the algorithm is, they have figured it out.

But here's the coolest thing, and something that we all need to take note of:

They took the time to stop and take a pic. They might be "big time", but they're still just a group of dudes having fun making videos.
