    45 too late? lol I know a few YouTubers well past that age who have 1 million + subscribers. All age groups have viewers here.

    While I enjoy the content of Van’s channel constantly, I felt there was some gatekeeping attitudes from Casey and Van. “As older YouTubers we discourage you to become older YouTubers.” What happened to “Do what you Can’t”, which is one Casey’s most inspirational videos. Not hating on them, just pointing out some mixed messages here.
