    So you already know the question by the title but if you choose Who inspired you, please specify why i am very interested in hearing about why everyone here got into their careers.

    Me i inspired myself, but i aim to be kind of like VannossGaming or Smiity. Mostly because their content is quite like my content... Except theirs is better xD
    I do youtube to make people happy and keep them from a sad day. And also if i get enough subscribers i will do alot of charity aswell. And try and have alot of "Charity livestreams".

    I was inspired by people like KYRSP33DY. That's where I got the idea that I wanted to do Funny Moments.

    I am inspired by people like theRadBrad and Philip DeFranco, I know I'm not even close to making videos like these guys make..but then isn't that the reason I joined Freedom! ;) , it's a long way but hey I'm not here to become like someone else I'm here to be myself!!

    After joining Freedom! George, Anthony, Zesty Mike are few more who inspire me every single time I watch their videos!!

    Adding to it, YouTube is not yet my career, I'm a Software Developer by profession and run a small company here in India which provides domain registration, web hosting , web development and custom software development services.

    And what I do here on YouTube is just my hobby!!

    For me it went kinda funny as i was livestreaming on Twitch for a Dutch Gaming magazine called XGN. After a while viewers told me to start my own channel as they wanted to keep track. So after that i made one for my own and starting streaming daily and gained some followers wich led to them saying i should upload it to youtube as Twitch removes the streams after a set amount of time.
    At point i thought: Aye lets give it a try then, and i started uploading my live streams to youtube, trough the years i adjusted many things and gained more experience. Still going strong as a livestreaming channel but nowadays on youtube instead of twitch :)

    AVGN and ScrewAttack were the very first people I watched online. They're my main inspiration but I'd also give credit to Two Best Friends Play, Achievement Hunter, Stop Skeletons, and SomecallmeJohnny as well.

    I love the Crew, I mainly watch ShadowbeatzInc lol.


    --- I was inspired mainly by WoodysGamertag, and SeaNanners back around 2009/2010. I stopped doing videos up until 2016 roughly after 2011, but now they've all vanished from the gaming scene. I continue on because it's my passion to entertain and annoy people.

    The person who inspired me to start YouTube would be....
    TheSyndicateProject! I really loved the gaming videos, so I wanted to join on in with the idea. And, it's really fun.

    I am not gonna lie... I have always watched gaming stuff on YouTube for as long as I can remember. I always sat there wondering how can I become like them? Sharing my game experiences with the world? Well slowly but surely I found someone who I used to know back in High School doing gaming videos so I looked him up and talked to him and he introduced me to Twitch lol which,it was a full yr before I got my xbone and started streaming and Youtubing but thats how it began for me.... So thank you Travis Cline :))

    This is a tough question for me because there have been multiple people throughout my life that have inspired me to make a channel and start posting videos. It first started out with a YouTuber called NigaHiga who inspired me to make little skits on my own channel (my channel didnt do too well, only about 6 subs :p ) Then later on, about 4-5 years later, one of my friends actually started a gaming channel. I thought "why not" because all it was was hitting a record button, talking and playing a game and made my own video on the same channel. My video did amazingly well, about 100 views in the first week. And that moment right there was when I really started getting into youtube :p Whenever I feel like quitting, or just not uploading/recording a video, I think back to that moment and it gives me the motivation to continue :D
