Hey,
This week I’m traveling to VidSummit — one of the biggest events for creators. It’s always a mix of YouTube chaos, behind-the-scenes strategy, and a few unexpected lessons that only come out when creators share what really happens.
So while I’m on the road, I’ve pulled together a special roundup of the top 7 issues & podcast episodes you might have missed — from iPhone 17 game-changers to the messy reality of buying YouTube views.
Here’s what’s inside:
