@MaxReisinger will save YouTube. At age 18, he cofounded the YouTube New Wave -a movement focused on telling powerful stories that are anti-algorithm and anti-clickbait - with friends like @RyanNgFilms @nataliexlynn @wholesomesimon
At age 20, he’s now helped raise over $200K from brands like Polaroid & Notion to support the New Wave while documenting his life growing up thru YouTube.
Today, Max shares his story on what’s wrong with YouTube, how to do business in a human way, and how to create good art.
