YouTube is the world's most efficient connector between creators and their audiences, enabling them to build sustainable careers.

I decided to pursue YouTube full-time after realizing I needed to make a clean break from my tech job to fully invest in my creative endeavors.

YouTube's evolution from a video dating service to a global platform has enabled millions to create careers and has become a primary source of entertainment and education worldwide.

YouTube has replaced television for me, as it offers a wealth of educational content that I can't find as easily on other platforms.

As a storyteller, I believe that the way we connect with each other is through sharing stories, which is fundamental to human interaction and is reflected in the content on YouTube.

YouTube will continue to focus on technology and support for creators, while the creative direction will be determined by the creators themselves. When I first started at YouTube ten years ago, the number of creators was around four or five, but now there's a proliferation of amazing content and creativity, which defines YouTube today and will continue to do so in the next decade.

YouTube's growth is inevitable, and I plan to leverage my position to build other ventures like restaurants and gaming companies.

YouTube is fundamentally about watching, sharing, and creating video content, and it aims to maintain its position as the world's oldest and largest creator economy.

YouTube serves as an information platform reflecting global events, making the connection between creativity and politics unsurprising.
