Summary
In this video, I talk about why it's time to get back to why we started this whole thing in the first place. People like Jenna Marbles and Smosh didn't start YouTube so that they could one day be brand friendly enough to work with the corporation. We started YouTube because this is better than anything from the corporations. Nobody was starting YouTube to become a millionaire or to walk on a red carpet. We did it because we loved it.

Dear YouTube, all the YouTube employees and the new CEO Neil Mahan.
00:00:20.100
Hopefully you know YouTube well enough to get nostalgic for a time when YouTube wasn't
00:00:27.880
We want to see real personalities filmed on photo booth in a way
00:00:31.540
It's poetic how YouTube is in legal battles with every corporation after becoming so corporate enough time has passed
00:00:37.880
We want to see people create something real again on YouTube
00:00:41.080
Isn't it time to unban sneeko guys? I'm zeko and welcome back to a new video
00:00:45.180
80% of you over 19 years of age haven't accomplished the dreams you had as a kid
00:01:03.700
before the ban youtube was literally my entire life like everyone else in my generation i was
00:01:14.340
narcissistic enough to upload videos of myself when I was 12. The difference is I was crazy
00:01:18.940
enough to stick with it for a decade and never delete a video. Today is my first face cam ever.
00:01:23.740
For the majority of my life, it was an open diary where I made movies, tried new things,
00:01:28.280
expressed my feelings, and shared life. Maybe the new YouTube team doesn't understand how inspired
00:01:34.080
our generation was to see people talk into a camera and make something out of it. I was right
00:01:40.240
there from the transformation from personality to corporate youtube's biggest ever creator mr
00:01:44.900
beast used to call me his favorite creator back in the day and to the ceo neil mahan i'm sure you
00:01:49.880
saw my community raid your replies saying to unbanned sneeko it's because you posted a picture
0.71
00:01:54.340
with kai senak these guys like kai and speed are great for youtube because they're personality
00:01:58.700
based but my fans are rating your replies because last week kai said i was inspiring him and now
00:02:04.100
they see him posted up next to the ceo of a website i'm banned on perhaps you don't even
00:02:08.440
know why I'm banned because so many creators lie about it. Three years ago for three strikes that
00:02:13.400
are not applicable today. One for 2020 election misinformation, which is now the presidential
00:02:19.160
narrative. Strike two for medical misinformation for not getting the COVID vaccine, which you could
00:02:23.920
now talk about on YouTube. And strike three was for cyberbullying because you said I made fun of
00:02:28.420
the long eyelashes too much. Neil, I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's still on your website. You
00:02:32.840
can see for yourself. And I love making videos so much. I'll do it for free on X anyway. Maybe
00:02:37.560
you've seen the clips of being the only one at my friend's birthday party or making amends with
00:02:42.020
a hater in person, but that's not what it's about. I've made enough money and garnered enough
00:02:46.520
influence to be happy for a lifetime. It's all about getting back to why we did this in the
00:02:50.920
first place. People like Jenna Marbles and Smosh didn't start YouTube so that they could one day
00:02:55.660
be brand friendly enough to work with the corporation. We started YouTube because this
00:03:00.760
is better than anything from the corporations. YouTube was so good because there was no middleman
00:03:05.880
feeding us to content. It was the creator and the audience. Nothing in between. Nobody was starting
00:03:11.640
YouTube to become a millionaire or to walk on a red carpet. We did it because we loved it. If it
00:03:17.360
was for money, then Jenna Marbles would have never left. She would be making 10 million a month
1.00
00:03:21.140
reacting to TikToks. If it was all about money, then Steve Will Do It would just gamble on stream
00:03:25.820
forever. But while Steve is making even more money off YouTube, he and his fans are thinking the
00:03:30.340
whole time he was probably banned because he got bigger than the corporations. Because I witnessed
00:03:35.260
the shift when youtube stopped prioritizing creators and prioritized the algorithm when
00:03:39.340
clickbait and adsense became more important than the video and youtube not to brag but i learned a
00:03:44.380
thing or two surviving this whole time while banned the key to survival is never abandoned
00:03:49.900
in your core if you abandon the core essence you started in the first place then you're not really
00:03:55.020
you anymore are you i really believe that if you're motivated to do something that you're good at
