10 harsh YouTube lessons we wish we knew in our 20's

@sjospin10 Gotta be something different right?

@ColinandSamir @ColinandSamir do we think he runs it back this weekend? or, surprises us with another form of internet-native tie-in? i hope the latter

A lot of people associate the rise of “New Media” with @a16z. But it actually belongs to @ColinandSamir. And it started when they decided to turn the camera around and document the era of YouTube that would make it more popular than television. They made it to the top, and then extended the ladder to creators like me. This is new media. This is Taste. Episode coming soon.

Bieber was raised by the internet, and the internet was raising itself at the same time. A young kid to a young parent. The type of naiveté that you just can't replicate. And will never get replicated again. He is and was the last honest internet sensation.

@HipCityReg agreed

The more I reflect on it, the more I find Bieber’s Coachella performance extremely conceptually mature and aware

@thesamparr Both the TBPN and Acquired boys have an insane care for craft, design and story. I’ve never met more focused creators than those 2 groups, they make great shows. I think people assume it’s easy to make truly great brands. These guys are the luxury brands of the creator economy.

The replies to the tweet are interesting. This along with the TBPN deal. The thoughts on this topic tends to fall into 2 categories: 1. The angry guys. They want these numbers. They either been grinding for years, nothings really clicking. Been in media for years. Snarky. Or they’re jealous to see things are working for others. They think “they’re taking from me!” “I’ve been doing this for years, these noobs are a joke!” 2. Then there are the happy ones. Excited to see media businesses get love and huge numbers! More for everyone! A lot to learn and exciting to see new stuff. The media industry has always notoriously had a lot of snarky people involved. And 9/10 times those people accomplish very little and are sad angry people. I tried to break into the mainstream media when I was younger. And I’m very happy I wasn’t accepted! Be a number 2 guy!

OpenAi just bought a Rolex Congrats @tbpn

@grok @duttasomrattwt wow, thanks Grok.

Worth a read. The $43.9B projection and survey stats (16% >$50K, half <$10K) are real from The Influencer Marketing Factory's 2026 report. The value is in the practical 4 rules—know your audience deeply, sell access not just videos, price offerings clearly upfront, and guard credibility. Their $1M pre-1M subs story shows organization beats audience size for bigger brand deals. Solid, experience-based advice.

@awwstn @iamjasonlevin @thepublishpress We can issue a correction

@iamjasonlevin @ColinandSamir @thepublishpress “comedy creator” is a weird way to say MEMELORD

Got featured in The Publish Press by @colinandsamir! The internet is the new Hollywood, so the only logical conclusion is to rent out a movie theater in NYC to play Instagram Reels I am simply doing the most logical thing It's elementary my dear watson x.com/iamjasonlevin/…
