Deep dives
The Importance of Recognizing Behind-the-Scenes Personnel
The podcast discusses the significance of acknowledging and honoring the people who work behind the scenes in the creation of online content. While creators like Emma Chamberlain and MrBeast may receive the spotlight and attention, it is the editors, cinematographers, and VFX artists who often go unnoticed. The podcast argues that awards like the Streamys should prioritize recognizing and crediting these individuals for their contributions.
The Impact of Awards on Editing Careers
The podcast highlights how winning a Streamy award can have a profound impact on the careers of editors. It is mentioned that while creators may not view the Streamys as particularly important, for those behind the scenes, such recognition can be a game-changer. Winning a Streamy award provided validation and boosted confidence for editors who often downplayed their own work. The podcast emphasizes the emotional aspect of receiving awards and the significance of the recognition it brings.
Critiques of the Streamys and the Need for Change
The podcast critiques the Streamys for not adequately recognizing and giving credit to editors and other behind-the-scenes personnel. It is mentioned that the Streamy Awards primarily focus on popular creators, neglecting to highlight the contributions of the editing and production teams. The podcast argues that the Streamys should do a better job of acknowledging these individuals by listing their names on the website, broadcast the awards ceremony, and address the missed opportunity of celebrating the industry as a whole.

Do the Streamy Awards even matter? All the top creators have won piles of them: MrBeast, Logan Paul, Emma Chamberlain… the list goes on. But did the wins impact their careers like the Oscars or the Emmys? Not really. But the people the awards do impact are all the editors, VFX artists and other behind-the-scenes artists on these channels. Yet, they are never awarded or even acknowledged in these shows. Hayden and Jordan are here to fix that. This episode highlights the five editing nominees in this year's Streamys. Lets hope that the "2023 Streamy Awards" - Sunday, August 27 at 6p PT / 9p ET will credit the behind-the-scenes names.
