How hard is it to become a YouTuber? Can anyone really do it? And can you really make a living from sharing videos online?
Every week, Sean Horlor and Steve Adams will be conducting YouTube video experiments to test who responds to different kinds of content and if there's a formula for video-sharing success. We will use these experiments to make some wicked crowd-sourced content that will help test a theory we have about YouTubers.
We want to hear why you watch what you watch, how you share it, and what you think is next for the world's biggest video sharing platform. Our findings will be included in a six-part documentary series called SHIFT that launches in Spring 2015.
Every Thursday, we will try out a different type of YouTube video here on SHIFT as part of a documentary we're filming on YouTubers. Tell us what you want to see next in the comment section.
Why are we doing what we're doing? Good question. In the meantime, check out these explainers to learn more about the different YouTubers and YouTube channels we're using in this experiment.
Why are whiteboard science videos so popular? This week on SHIFT, we test a formula made popular by YouTubers like AsapSCIENCE (http://youtube.com/asapscience)
