Disagree strongly that Casey is "not interesting, deep, gifted or talented at anything". He's a professional filmmaker who did plenty of TV and commercial work (including selling an 8-episode TV series to HBO) before ever getting into YouTube.
His "secret" was bringing his experience with professional cinematography and production values and applying them to a medium (vlogging) that had historically been very much an amateur game.
- holografix 8y agoI have watched a few of his videos through my partner being a bit lonely without a job since we started living in a new country without knowing anyone. He does a great job of being conversational and mostly positive. It definitely gives lonely people a boost. Plus he took a chance at the right time and to paraphrase Peter Thiel “why compete with the herd and try to squeeze through a tiny window? Just walk around and go through the large gate no one has noticed or thought glamorous enough”. The world is littered with pretty good videographers, Casey is a pretty good one that walked through the big YouTube gate instead. Now their are countless sheep following suit.
