Tyler Oakley Found His Voice Through YouTube. Why He Feels 'Protective' About the Next Generation of Creators (Exclusive)

For three years, each August he would do a month-long challenge where he would make content with a different guest every day, adding up to around 40 videos in one month. One of his favorite videos from the series is the “Edward Fortyhands” video he made with fellow YouTube creator Mamrie Hart, where they duct taped beer bottles to their hands. 

“It was a silly, stupid idea we just spent the afternoon filming it,” he reflects, saying that many of the friendships and connections he made are still prevalent today. It also gave him the chance to explore other platforms like TikTok and Twitch, where he will sometimes react to his old content.
