‍

KSI: In Real Life | Official Trailer | Prime Video - From creating content on YouTube to revolutionizing the boxing industry and breaking into the music charts, KSI has come a long way since I started watching him in 2011. This documentary offers a unique perspective on the man behind the scenes, showcasing his life and achievements in a candid and engaging way.

‍

It's rare to see KSI open up like he did in this documentary and it's refreshing to see JJ come out behind the KSI amped-up character and understand what really makes him tick. This Amazon documentary provides an all-access view of KSI during the peak of his fame and success, and whether you're a fan or just curious, this documentary is a must-see for anyone interested in YouTube.

📸 What I'm Learning

‍

The Thumbnail University Course - I've spent many years creating thumbnails for myself and other YouTubers, but with how quickly YouTube can change, you can never learn enough. That's why I signed up for the Thumbnail University this week and so far have really enjoyed the lessons that Ed from Film Booth has created.

‍

If you're thinking about leveling up your thumbnails, this course is a great place to start. I spoke to Ed and he's given you all 10% off for the next week with the code "creatorstream".

1,000 Blind People See For The First Time - Mr. Beast is a huge creator because of how unique and exciting his videos are. Unfortunately, this has led to a lot of copycats which has caused 'The Mr. Beastification' of YouTube.

‍

To switch things up, Jimmy took a new approach with this video. Instead of giving away cars, blowing things up, or trying to survive in insane locations, he decided to cure 1,000 people's blindness. It's a heartwarming video, completely different from what he's uploaded in the past, and a step in the right direction for switching up his content.

‍

The net positive here is that if people do continue to copy Mr. Beast and copy this style, at least it will be through helping more people, so this seems like a win-win.

‍

And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which link above is your favorite? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @WhiffenYT and put #TheCreatorStream at the end so I can find it.

Thanks for reading, have a wonderful weekend!
