yeah, van was sachs' videographer or whatever, and then casey was a studio member under sachs, so while casey got "big" on social media before van, casey got big cuz the "neistatbros" was a thing first, and van did the vast majority of those early videos.

@reeft 3 жыл бұрын

@@jasonfifi This. All of Casey's style and mantra was influenced by his big brother and Tom Sachs. He turned it into his own thing during his vlog period (he didn't invent daily vlogs, or made them big, as he sometimes like to say) but it's undeniable in his early KZfaq videos.

OCS: Obsessive Compulsive Superpower. But I don't think you're obsessive OR compulsive, otherwise you wouldn't be able to ship so many amazing projects with "rough edges". I just think you're someone who has direct, unlimited access to your ideas via physical and interpersonal pathways. A crucial distinction b/c so many "fix-it" people don't communicate or interact with others well.
