ABOUT US
We’re Colin and Samir, creators based out of Los Angeles California. We make videos about the creator economy, and the lessons we’ve learned over 10 years of being on KZfaq. We also interview creators and try to get to the bottom of what’s working on KZfaq and where the creator economy is headed.

Am I the only one that doesn't see ALL this overhead represented in the quality of the video? I really don't want to be a Debbie Downer and I genuinely like Mark, but I think there should also be genuine feedback. As a viewer, I don't think it's easy to appreciate the amount of work that went into this. As an entrepeneur, I don't know how this wasn't possible with about 1/10th of the budget. That might sound extreme, but I mean it.. 400k for something that in the OG days of youtube would just be shot with a couple of Gopro's? Maybe the other creators were (royally) comped, maybe there were aspects of the shoot that were challenging regarding following the drones, especially at night.. But it's hard not to see this as unnecessarily hyperinflating this video. I love seeing youtubers "make it" and I'm not at all judging what they do with their money, but I think giving honest feedback is always worth it. I feel like this is (one of) the first times Collin and Samir experienced it like this as well, it seems to shine through the video in some parts. I got the feeling they were summoned for this "grand spectacle", but it turned out to be a very complex shoot for a backyard scientist video. Like.. I get with Jimmy, but those shoots are genuinely crazy in scale, pay-outs and set-ups (as have some of Mark's in the past) Edit: I'd like to revise my initial scope to about 80k, as there are also the material and build costs for his work on the giant dart thing.

I like this thumbnail. You still have your font and that yellow, but it's based on a moment from the video. So I have the trust of knowing what I'm going to see. The book cover matches the story. Also the car creates a "where we going" question in the subconscious mind. It all fits this video well. I know thumbnails are all about exaggeration right now, but If it falls along the same trend as Book Covers, viewers are going to be turned off by covers (or thumbnails) not matching the story. IDK if this shot of Mark was perfect, but him being mid sentence does tell us we're about to hear him talk. The quote was perfect to.

I'm genuinely happy for Mark and his outlook on life. It's far too often we only see people focus on the dollar but he's found a way to focus on his passion and with how he's approached this, the money just works out. His mind really is in a good place.

One of my favorite videos from you guys of recent. I super appreciate that rather than shying away from the hardcore business concepts in order to keep the content broadly understandable, you made a big effort to explain them so that they *became* broadly understandable - and for those of us who knew stuff like LTV already, kept this a valuable lesson. Mark Rober and his team is inspiring for very many reasons, most of all the happiness and inspiration they bring to people around the world, but I really appreciated seeing this side of their business as something that just seemed really smart.

Thank you for making this. I’ve referenced crunch lab and beast chocolate for the last year while starting my climbing shop which as exploded because of building my KZfaq audience for the last 7 years without anything to sell and sponsors in my niche are non-existent. I can’t believe KZfaq doesn’t charge me to share my videos. Anyone doing social media for ad revenue is missing the gem that it is. I wouldn’t even know how anyone could build a business today without adding value to audience and customers through social media. This video you made was amazing. 🙏

But I can’t remember the exact words used but some to the effect that mark has been advertised for years and the people wanted something to buy that relates to him and then. This basic idea has given me the idea of what to do and how to approach it. I had this idea for a while but thought about it completely different and now I think it’s the merch I always wanted the whole time. It’s perfect to relate what I do and what the people relate to me. Thanks again guys. Also the video was great. Who doesn’t love a lil mark in a video, right?

This is so wild to see! Mark has built something absolutely phenomenal. But at the same time, it seems wild that “creator” is a term applied both to what’s happening in this video as well as the person just in a corner or spare room trying their best and maybe even eking out an income. For example, I knew what he meant but my brain kinda broke when I had to confirm “spending four hundred” on a video meant $400,000 and not $400. There’s a massive gap in the “creator” world.

@guiximenes 19 күн бұрын

I met Mark in a KZfaq event in september 2022, and back then, he couldn't stay longer cause he had to edit his next video. And i remember him saying a lot of things about how good it was to have a small team for the youtube channel and the company (crunchlabs had just been launched). Watching this video reminded me of this conversation we had and how crazy it must have been the past 18 months for him expanding crunchlabs into what it is now. This video is amazing, but I bet there is MUCH more to explore into this story. Fascinating! 👏👏👏
