Students use YouTube as a creative platform

YouTube has recently become a popular platform for people to creatively express themselves. Students have gotten into this trend, and have made their own YouTube channels.

Senior Caden Cunningham started a YouTube channel with his friends.

“My friends wanted to make a channel so we brainstormed an idea for a video and ran with it,” Cunningham said. “We make all kinds of videos, whatever our brains come up with.”

Cunningham plans on making videos until he graduates.

“I only do this for fun and to make people laugh,” Cunningham said.

Senior Daniel Lopez also makes videos for fun.

“They are meant to be funny,” Lopez said. “I’ve heard some people talk about them while I’m in the halls, and people will come up to me and tell me they enjoyed it.”

Lopez doesn’t plan on stopping his YouTube channel, unless he gets bored with it.

Freshman Hayden Brown also has a YouTube channel, and tries to make his videos as funny as possible.

“I love making people laugh, so I just started making them,” Brown said. “I started with vlogs, and I should be posting more of those soon. I have also posted trick shot videos.”

Brown gets quite a bit of views on his channel.

“I honestly couldn’t have made these videos without my friends. Hunter Brown, Dylan Scheibler, Dawson Harman, and Ian Olson have been a huge help with my videos,” Brown said. “My most popular video has around 950 views I’m pretty sure.”

Brown gets feedback every time he posts a video.

“I love getting feedback, when someone says a video was funny it makes me want to post more,” Brown said. “D3 athletes is my YouTube channel, I love when people like and subscribe.”
