He also breaks down subjects such as his full editing process, how he approaches the YouTube algorithm, the reason he started a second channel, the importance of sponsorships, combating burnout, and finally why he believes Destiny was finished after The Final Shape.If you're a Destiny player, content creator, or someone interested in growing on YouTube, this conversation is packed with practical advice and behind-the-scenes stories from a creator with more than 200 million YouTube views.
