Thanks again! Best wishes for some more great work in the upcoming New Year :)

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! I'll definitely take that advice to heart -- thanks, Zack!

Keep in mind that Facebook pads views on their hosted videos substantially, as anyone scrolling through their feed and having a video autoplay for a certain amount of seconds counts itself as a "view". So while inflated, it's so true that views are definitely coming really quickly via FB. The 'having legs' analogy is great.

Have you encountered issues with unaffiliated video aggregation accounts hosting your videos without permission and hi-jacking your views yet? Anything to pay attention to to prevent that from happening?

Zach, firstly thank you so much for the effort that you're putting into this AMA. I've only just started reading it, but you're still here answering questions 6 hours into it. Kudos!

I wanted to ask you if you have any advice for someone who wants to do comedy and/or write on the YouTube platform specifically? I feel like so many channels nowadays are so similar in style that it's hard to tell them apart (quickcuts, really over-the-top speech inflections). Hopefully we'll all be able to contribute towards a vibrant YouTube community and be able to work from anywhere in the world, while staying connected via online platforms!

Please keep up the great work! Really inspiring how you're keeping on eye out for the greater good and supporting great work around the net :)
