Users expressed a strong desire to pay for features like higher resolution and more downloads, indicating they found value in OpusClip.

We decided to turn the clipping feature into a standalone product, which led to tens of thousands of users signing up for OpusClip within two weeks.

The first product idea was an AI-powered live streaming tool, developed during the pandemic when everyone was working from home and consuming live content.

The platform generates video highlight reels that compile the most interesting clips from the conversations.

The embed feature was crucial for YouTube's growth. It allowed users to share videos on platforms like MySpace, which helped create an organic virality without spending any money on marketing.

The current trend is to embrace re-uploading content on platforms like TikTok, as it can drive more views and engagement for creators.

Understanding the unique characteristics of each platform is crucial for effective content repurposing.

When I was at Twitch, we often copied features from competitors, but sometimes we realized that those features had no real value, highlighting the pitfalls of blindly following competitors. The company only started working when Emmett and Kevin began talking to users to understand their needs, rather than just copying competitors' features.

After launching the live streaming product, we realized it didn't address any real pain points, resulting in only 200 users after three months.
