"You hear a lot of people say how can I start making money on Youtube?, how can I start having a lot of subscribers on YouTube?, how can I be popular on YouTube? I tell them that they're going about it the wrong way. People who are on YouTube that are popular have been doing it for a really long time without making any money and without being popular. You have to do it because you love doing it and sometimes you can get lucky and have a super viral video and maybe its not what you want to be doing but it's working. It's better for you to do what you love doing and become popular doing it, than for you to be doing something that's popular but that you don't enjoy."
