The Future of Collab Channels
I’ve been thinking a lot about collaborative YouTube channels. This is mostly because, as I begin writing this, it is three and a half hours past the day I’m supposed to upload a video to the Vlogtag channel. Three and a half hours overdue, and I still haven’t shot a single frame of this week’s…
