YouTube Shows Are Increasingly Going To Netflix. Now The Streamer Wants To Make Them Bigger
What do children's entertainer Ms. Rachel, prank collective The Sidemen and dating show Pop The Balloon have in common? They are all people and projects that started on YouTube but have also ended up on Netflix. The world of content creators has exploded in the last few years and has become the next big battle between two of the behemoths of the entertainment business. More from Deadline 'We've Broken The Mainstream': Did The Sidemen's YouTube-To-Netflix Gamble Pay Off? Viral YouTube Dating Series 'Pop The Balloon' Lands Live Netflix Order, Yvonne Orji To Host 'Untamed' Rises To No. 1 On Netflix TV Charts After Debut Weekend As Audiences Also Revisit Amy Bradley Missing Persons Case The two companies have been increasingly competing for eyeballs, particularly on TV screens, and to some extent, talent, over the last twelve months. In March, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said YouTube was useful for creators to 'cut their teeth on' and called the Google-owned platform a 'little bit of a farm league'. 'There's a whole bunch of creators that I would put in the pro-am category that are making really interesting, compelling programming to watch,' he added at the Paley Media Council event. 'But YouTube doesn't give them any money up front to make it, so they're doing it all at their own risk.' Netflix wants to help an increasing number of these folk share the risk as it searches for the 'next generation of great creators'. One of the executives leading this charge is Jeff Gaspin, who oversees unscripted content at Netflix, which brought the second season of reality series Inside to the streamer from YouTube in March and is working on a U.S. version and launched a live version of Pop The Balloon, the Arlette Amuli-created series, which began on YouTube, in April. There's also been suggestions that the company has held talks with other YouTubers such as Mark Rober, the former NASA engineer who starred on Discovery's Jimmy Kimmel-produced series Revengineers, and Dude Perfect, the trick shot experts who have been front and center at a number of YouTube events. 'These content creators are even more prolific and more pronounced today than they even were a year ago,' Gaspin told Deadline. 'The creativity is off the charts.' Inside is a Big Brother-style reality series that features prolific influencers locked inside a house, where they compete in a series of challenges for a prize worth up to £1m ($1.3M). How different were the ratings on the free service versus the paid option? The first episode of the first season of Inside has been watched 15.4M times on YouTube with the second episode dropping to 6.9M (this is wildly down on The Sidemen's most popular video, which has 115M views). On Netflix, over its first three months, it averaged 17.5M hours viewed and 2.4M views, per the streamer's engagement report Gaspin echoed Sarandos' comments by highlighting that YouTube series are a handy development tool for Netflix. 'There's so much experimenting going on there and it's so great. It's great for development, because I get to see something, it's not just on paper or a sizzle. We were able to watch Inside to know whether it's a show we were interested in,' he added. Pop The Balloon, meanwhile, started as Pop The Balloon or Find Love on YouTube from Amuli and her husband Bolia Matundu, who made nearly 50 episodes for the digital service and generated over 100M views to their channel. The dating experiment sees singles test their chemistry while trying to keep their balloon intact. The Netflix version, which was hosted by Insecure star Yvonne Orji, was one if its first major unscripted experiments in the live arena, an area where it also has series such as Everybody's Live with John Mulaney and Dinner Time with David Chang. However, Pop The Balloon Live: Pop It Like It's Hot didn't fare so well in terms of ratings. The show averaged 1M hours viewed from 1.2M views. Gaspin called Pop The Balloon a 'really fun format'. But he admitted that it could have adapted the show in a different way. 'Honestly, one of the things that we should have done with Pop The Balloon was used more of the essence of Pop The Balloon, and then try to create something bigger and more arcing, over multiple episodes,' he added. This seems to be the key difference; YouTube allows creators to do whatever they want but Netflix wants to 'support more ambitious efforts', according to Sarandos. Gaspin added, 'The decision that we have to make is, do we just translate it 100% or do we just use the essence of the concept and then try to create something that probably works a little better long form? But the ability to see something that's basically a pilot for us is really valuable.' This is not unlike what MrBeast did with Amazon's Beast Games, turning his YouTube videos into a series that costs exponentially more – in his case, a production budget (including cash giveaways) that total around $250M for two seasons. MrBeast, otherwise known as Jimmy Donaldson, told Deadline earlier this year, 'Truthfully, when you make videos on YouTube, they're usually not episodic. I've just always been really excited about taking the big spectacles we do on YouTube but being able to do it over an episodic series where we could actually get to know the contestants and have more depth and story and get more invested into the challenges and games. The idea was to take what we do on YouTube, but make it 10 times bigger and 20 times better.' Gaspin compared the current moment to when cable television moved heavily into original content. 'Cable was a big inventor from Real World to Unplugged to Shark Week. Cable innovated and zigged when networks were zagging and ultimately took the bulk of broadcast share,' he said. Middle-aged television executives, however, have always struggled to denote what's new and cool and Gaspin has a solution: ask your teenagers. 'If you have kids that are between 15 to 25, watch what they're watching, watch what they're responding to,' he added.

The internet's most famous people converged in 1 place and it all was captured on video: Inside my trip to VidCon
I spent a frenetic weekend at a convention center in Anaheim, California, in June, immersed among content creators and their rabid fans. VidCon, 15 years after its inception, is still a hotbed for influencers — and discussions about how they impact pop culture and turn social media into prosperous careers. I kept a diary of my time mingling with online celebrities and the people who keep the creator economy afloat. It was sometimes glamorous, oftentimes scrappy and always fascinating, just like the internet itself. Let's talk about it. A frenetic vibe from the start Much of the vibe of VidCon is set by the palm tree-lined street outside the Anaheim Convention Center, where vendors line up to sell you food from a truck or guide you through the line for a photo opp. Advertisement This year, there were Minecraft topiaries in honor of the game's mainstream success through its movie adaptation, a box sponsored by horror production company Blumhouse which participants could enter to scream at the top of their lungs and a huge rainbow banner celebrating YouTube's 20th anniversary that was positioned over a small house at the intersection of 'Subscribe Street' and 'Like Lane.' It rivaled Disneyland, which was also visible from the window of my nearby hotel. The cameras are always rolling Everyone was filming all the time — including me and Yahoo video producer Sam Matthews. A giant coloring page was set up in the expo hall, and Snapchat hosted a bodega-themed event at a nearby hotel. (Photo illustration: Yahoo News; illustrations: Jiaqi Wang for Yahoo News; photos: Kelsey Weekman/Yahoo News) As we walked through the convention center, we saw a girl dressed as Wednesday Adams do an elaborately choreographed dance in the middle of the floor, declaring, 'I was just kidding' to the crowd that had formed by the time she finished. We saw another huge gathering of people formed around dozens of influencers holding their phones to their faces, lip-syncing to a song we couldn't hear with perfect synchronicity. There was also a huge line of kids forming to take photos with a man dressed as The Lorax, who was giving instructions on how to pose and interact with him. Advertisement None of this was sanctioned, but it wasn't forbidden, either. Toys 'R' Us Vendors sold merchandise at VidCon's expo hall, and the brand Pop Store set up a "clinic" on another floor to help creators monetize. (Photo illustration: Yahoo News; illustrations: Jiaqi Wang for Yahoo News; photos: Kelsey Weekman/Yahoo News) The sprawling expo hall in the convention center's grandest ballroom was extremely popular for attendees. There, amid lines of people waiting for meet and greets with their favorite creators or big events hosted on a mainstage, was a smorgasbord of all the finest collectibles. The little stuffed monsters known as Labubus were clipped to the purses and belt loops of every tenth person I saw. I formed a bond with a person in a Furby costume. Another ultra-popular toy was the Easy Sqweezy Stretchy Banana which is literally just a big squishy banana toy that a dad told me kids like hitting each other with. There was a huge stand for mystery merch boxes, where fans could spend a few dozen dollars to get a random assortment of items related to titles like Stranger Things, Spider-Man and Star Trek. The cashier told me the most popular box is for The Goonies, but he didn't really understand why. I met my actual heroes I was part of the first generation to grow up with access to YouTube, so many of the creators honored in VidCon's Hall of Fame felt like the cool seniors who graduated when I was a freshman, though they're technically titans of media. Still, I was starstruck — more so interviewing Hank Green and Grace Helbig at the event than I was interviewing Josh Hartnett or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the past. Advertisement I was also charmed by how kind and down-to-earth the Hall-of-Famers were. Ian Hecox of Smosh talked to me for more than half an hour, and I didn't even let it slip that I used to have a crush on him. Rosanna Pansino somehow got me cake at a hotel bar when she heard it was my birthday. I've heard all these stories about how internet fame warps your sense of self and reality, but everyone I met was incredibly humble and sweet. An immersive anthropological excursion I expected a crowd of more people my own age at the Hall of Fame ceremony, given that the honored creators had been around since the 2000s, but I was wrong. I consider myself pretty well-versed in the online world, but I felt like an explorer in the depths of an uncharted jungle. Sam and I were surrounded by children as young as 7, screaming at the top of their lungs to meme-inspired songs performed by YouTuber CG5. We were then subjected to a magic battle between two viral illusionists, Justin Flom and SeanDoesMagic. The kids behind me were screaming jokes laced with internet slang, accusing people of 'hacking' and directing questions like, 'Yo, who are these people?' to an imaginary 'chat.' They were rude to the Hall of Fame inductees, talking over their acceptance speeches, but loudly admitted that Rhett & Link are funny. Who all the kids wanted to see Tons of people have asked me who the most popular creator at VidCon was. It wasn't the one with the longest legacy or the biggest following. It was Jmancurly, a YouTuber who almost exclusively shares videos of himself playing the virtual reality game Gorilla Tag, in which people play as legless primates. I missed his onstage appearance at the Hall of Fame ceremony, but I felt his presence everywhere. He had a giant — and I mean bigger than a house — statue of a buff torso set up in the expo hall. Kids everywhere wore his merch and lined up to play Gorilla Tag. To VidCon attendees, Jmancurly was like all four of the Beatles combined. Advertisement Another popular creator duo was AJ and Big Justice, the father-son pair who went viral for the loud New Jersey accents with which they assign things ratings on a 'boom or doom' scale. They had to enter the press room for our interview through a secret door because, as their manager explained, they kept getting 'swarmed.' People begged them for photos and lined up to make videos with them, in which they would both scream and assess how many 'booms' a selfie-taker deserved. I was overjoyed when Yahoo received five big booms. Someone who everyone missed AJ and Big Justice often create content with The Rizzler, an 8-year-old child influencer best known for striking comically macho poses in viral interactions with celebrities. He sadly wasn't able to attend VidCon because he opted to go to Fanatics Fest in New York City instead, to the disappointment of at least a dozen people who asked about his whereabouts. I did see someone carrying around a seemingly life-size cardboard cutout of him, though. The Rizzler poses in Times Square. (Michelle Farsi/FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) VidCon also felt more exclusive than ever, because, much to the chagrin of fans online, it didn't livestream its panels. You just had to be there. Everyone wants to be an influencer When I went to VidCon in 2022, everyone wanted to meet an influencer. People lined up around blocks and sat in full costume for hours for the chance to see a YouTuber they adored. Advertisement In 2025, everyone wanted to be an influencer. Even when lining up at panels for a chance to ask a creator a question, most wanted to know the secret to success or ask for advice on their careers. I'll never forget how many children I saw wearing T-shirts with their budding YouTube channel names printed on them. At first, I thought the designated area that linking website Pop Store had set up that offered a hospital-themed 'monetization clinic' for fresh creators hoping to make money off their content was dystopian. 'Your vibe is billable' a neon sign beckoned. After wandering through, I realized that for so many people, turning sharing what you love into a financially beneficial endeavour is an absolute dream. Who am I to judge, even if someone in a lab coat is prodding me to try my hand at a giant game of 'Operation' so they could lower my guard far down enough that I'd willingly open a website on my phone? Luckily, content creators and other members of the creator economy were extremely eager to give advice. I gathered words of wisdom from a dozen of them. Advertisement I was particularly moved by the advice from video game streamer and true crime podcast host Ericka Bozeman, who could have tossed vague platitudes at the young YouTuber who approacher her, but instead gave him an on-the-spot overhaul by helping him identify what's distinct enough to embrace about his style and come up with a new channel introduction. A new class of child stars emerges — and it's not all bad LikeNastya, Avia Colette and Big Justice have massive followings and millions of people watching their every video. (Photo illustration: Yahoo News; photos: Instagram) It feels like we only hear horror stories about children who grew up famous online, but the ones I talked to at VidCon love their lives. Big Justice, for instance, is living his dream. Avia Colette, the now-adult child of some of the first family vloggers, wouldn't have it any other way. 'Minecraft' still reigns supreme After the success of A Minecraft Movie forced the mainstream entertainment industry to pay attention to the power of a sandbox video game, I became obsessed with untangling how it has managed to stick around for so many years. I spoke to Minecraft YouTubers with millions of subscribers about how they sustain a whole massive ecosystem of fans and content, though you've probably never heard of them. The longest-running YouTube creators are still killing it The comedy duo I was obsessed with in 2005 is still thriving, but not without their challenges. I profiled the people behind Smosh, a YouTube channel that has survived virality and brushes with career death over and over again for two decades. Smosh's full cast, including Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox in the middle. (Courtesy of Smosh) Advertisement They told me the secret to thriving as online creators from the early internet to modern times, which hasn't been easy or normal, but it has been an incredibly fun ride. Going viral doesn't matter anymore, according to the guy who's the best at it Anthony Po is the king of going viral. He thinks it's easy. You probably don't know him by name, but chances are you've seen the Timothée Chalamet lookalike competition, or videos of him eating a jar of cheese balls in front of 3,000 people in a mask. At 23, he's been a creator for about 10 years, and he said on a panel called 'From Viral Moments to Sustainable Business Models' that 'going viral is kind of easy … it's a science, almost.' He worked for YouTube's most popular creator MrBeast in 2023, where he said their goal was to have every video reach at least 300 people. Advertisement 'There's a way to engineer that … you look at what exists and study culture,' he said. Po isn't into that anymore — he wants to find the authentic human element in everything he does. But it still makes him go viral. It was fascinating because I think a lot of brands might have been foaming at the mouth just to get a dash of his ability to get their products seen by so many people. Maybe he's onto something, or maybe he's just got the magic touch. What it means to be a creator I asked a lot of creators the same question: What do people get wrong about your job that you wish you could correct them on? I got a lot of the same answer: Basically, it's harder than anyone thinks. Advertisement I loved VidCon cocreator Hank Green's answer, because he took things in a different direction. He never said content creation was easy, but called attention to the fact that lots of people are creators in the same way that lots of people are musicians. Not everyone's Beyoncé, but that's OK, there can only be one. Mainstream entertainment isn't the goal anymore Given the success of creator MrBeast's Prime Video reality series Beast Games, I thought the possibility of breaking out into the mainstream might be the talk of the town at VidCon. I was wrong. It's notoriously difficult for even the most famous online celebrities to become traditional ones, and after many years, people seem to understand that. At a panel called 'Blurred Lines: Rethinking the Relationship Between Traditional & Digitally Native Entertainment,' I was struck by something that Paul Telner, Viral Nation's head of programming, said. A former YouTuber himself, he now works with creators to develop their own original IP. 'We have an incredible roaster of talent that I really think — they are their own networks. They are their own Nickelodeon. They are their own CNN, they are their own MTV,' he said. 'I love to pair them with traditional [entertainment], because traditional, for the first time in my career, is starting to wake up to creators.' In other words, old school media like TV and movies need internet celebrities. As Telner explained, there was a time when creators would prefer to produce their own shows, maintain creative control and do so without network feedback. Now, they have more power than ever in the business. Hollywood needs access to the massive audiences of creators, and creators benefit from the budgets and production of traditional entertainment. Meet and greet philosophy I'm always struck by how many fans are willing to pay and line up for long periods of time for a chance to briefly meet and take a photo with their favorite creators. It solidifies, to me, that YouTubers and TikTokers are truly the next class of A-list celebrities for younger generations. Dream, the most popular Minecraft YouTuber in an already extremely popular online subculture, told me he doesn't like doing meet and greets because it's not enough time to truly make a connection with someone. On the other hand, SoupTimmy, a YouTuber who also has millions of subscribers but a more niche specialty, doesn't mind them. He posts videos of himself solving Rubik's cubes. 'I just treat them like people,' SoupTimmy told me, his fingers clutching a tiny Rubik's cube he wore on a chain around his neck. He didn't expand on that, and honestly, he didn't have to. Get friendly with AI I admit I spent most of VidCon avoiding the panels and sessions about AI like the plague, hoping to prioritize talking to creators about what actually aids their careers on a daily basis instead. I underestimated how much AI was a practical answer and not just something that big creators like MrBeast are trying to harness and share as another way to diversify their revenue. Stephanie Segev, head of creative and content at the link sharing website Hopp by Wix, tells me after VidCon that she highly recommends that creators 'embrace AI beyond ChatGPT prompts.' 'The creators who want to get a head start in 2025 are the ones truly embracing AI at a more technical level,' she says. 'A side-hustler who leans into AI can operate like a full-timer; a full-timer can run like a small agency.' If this career is really all about consistency, which I keep hearing, maybe leaning into the efficiency of AI isn't such a bad idea. Just don't get into producing AI slop — YouTube just announced it's cracking down on monetizing that. YouTube is still king After I got back from VidCon, I joined Slate's internet culture podcast ICYMI to talk about my experience. Cohosts Candice Lim, Kate Lindsay and I declared YouTube king of the social media sites and daydreamed about how we'd change the convention. Listen here.

Unlock ChatGPT's Full Potential with These Simple Prompting Hacks
What if the secret to unlocking the full potential of artificial intelligence lies not in the technology itself, but in the way you communicate with it?
