YouTube has seen its share of issues in 2016, and this discord has left many creators feeling reflective.
The hashtag #NotMyYouTube was launched by creators Meghan Tonjes and Andrew Gunadie (aka Gunnarolla) to kickstart dialogue and act as a guide for YouTubers who feel a bit lost. As Tonjes explains in the initial video, the hashtag was a jokey offshoot of #NotMyPresident, but once it sparked conversation, they knew they were on to something.
The videos asks 11 questions to get a temperature check on how creators feel right now, including questions about least favorite trends, how they define success, and regrets.
