Casey Neistat releases inspirational “love letter” video message to the YouTube Community.
Casey Niestat can add another layer to his resume: YouTuber, vlogger, filmmaker and now motivational speaker for the YouTube community.
His latest YouTube video entitled “DO WHAT YOU CAN’T” is more of a love letter to his fellow YouTubers whilst subtly championing his long running partnership with the tech company, Samsung.
Following his previous work with Samsung for the Academy Awards last month, Casey has now made a video about his own experience as a Youtuber.
Being so popular isn’t as easy as it seems… He had to overcome so many obstacles and doors slamming in his face on his way to success and this was the aim of the video: to create an inspirational video that, this time, will celebrate the YouTube community.
“If I were to write an autobiography, a book about my life, one title that would work would be Do What You Can’t,” Neistat narrates. Neistat talks about the filmmakers on YouTube that have defied the odds by taking their creativity and careers into their own hands. The message of this video is pretty simple: find success on your own terms. And do it with passion!
Recognisable YouTubers like Liza Koshy, Lilly Singh, Marques Brownlee, Gigi Gorgeous, Rosanna Pansino, h3h3productions, Devin ‘Supertramp’ Graham, Phil DeFranco, Jesse Wellens, Grace Helbig, and others are featured in a quick succession.
Finally, he tells the YouTube community to “keep creating…and never forget, you don’t have to listen to anyone, because in this new world, no one knows anything.” To date the video has gained over 2 M views in two days and is the 6th trending video on YouTube clearly his message is getting across.
This isn’t the first time that Casey has created a buzzworthy video on his channel alongside Samsung. He had previously released several videos documenting his antics being pulled around on a snowboard by a specially designed Samsung drone and making us all very jealous.
