00:00 Welcome everyone. My name is Jordy van den Busse also known as Quobblekop. I'm 28 years old
00:05 I have a YouTube channel with 15 million subscribers
00:08 I own a video game studio called Phantom Coast and we're building a game called Hell's Gate
00:12 I also am the owner/creator of Blue a very successful
00:17 YouTuber which is actually a virtual youtuber
00:21 It's actually not a real person and I'm also building a bunch of really cool AI tools and I recently found myself
00:28 Whoo, that's a mouthful today
00:30 I'm doing a Q&A because I wanted to share and answer a bunch of questions that I've seen on the internet
00:36 That I get in interviews all the time and I just want to give you a big quick
00:41 rundown of who I am and what I do
00:44 based on questions that you have asked and
00:47 To continue please post some comments and some questions in the comment section below for the next Q&A now
00:55 Let's get right into the first question. How did you first become interested in gaming and YouTube?
01:00 This is probably the most frequently asked question. I was 17 when I started my YouTube channel and I love gaming
01:07 I still love it. I just don't have that much time for it. But when I pick up a game
01:12 I do really get invested into it. I just love playing video games. I didn't want to go to school
01:17 I didn't want to get your ordinary job
01:18 so I just decided to go and play games film myself and post it and
01:24 Since then I've loved pretty much every single day of it two years ago. I started enjoying it less but more recently
01:30 I really feel like the fire is lit again
01:34 I feel like I have a challenge again and that challenge and that goal is to build out the cobble cup AI vision
01:41 In a way that is new
01:44 Refreshing and accepted and loved by everyone. Can you share a fond childhood memory that has influenced who you are today?
01:52 Oof, that's a tough one
01:54 Yeah, I think the biggest and the most memorable memory was when I was really bored in the summer
02:00 I'm I live in Amsterdam. I was born and raised in Amsterdam and I was sitting on my couch looking at Frankie on PC
02:07 There's a old-school youtuber. I was watching his YouTube videos and I was sitting there on the couch
02:11 Thinking to myself I'm so bored. It is the middle of the summer. I have nothing to do the next few months or weeks
02:18 why don't I just become a youtuber and there and then I had switched my identity and
02:24 Decided that a youtuber is who I'm going to become and that memory that moment that spark has
02:31 Completely changed my life for the better
02:35 What were the biggest challenges you faced when starting your YouTube channel the biggest challenge I faced and this is a challenge that is still?
02:42 Very dominant in my life
02:44 Is that a lot of people who are not you aka everyone
02:50 loves to share their
02:52 Insecurity they love to share why?
02:56 You are not going to succeed in your journey and to me. This is extremely discouraging
03:02 But obviously it is something that is completely part of the journey
03:06 It was by far the biggest challenge to hear friends and family and not believing you rather than a hundred percent
03:13 Supporting you and that has also made me who I am where in all honesty
03:17 I really don't care of what anyone else thinks as long as I'm happy as long as I'm doing what I want to be doing
03:23 That was the hardest challenge. How is your content creation process evolved over the years?
03:28 This is actually a super interesting one that I've always wanted to share
03:31 But I've never really had the time to do so at the start
03:34 It was me doing everything myself in the bedroom a little bit like this five where I just turn the camera on I I talk
03:40 And and continue and that started going really well and and quickly did I realize that I wanted to produce better videos?
03:46 And I wanted to increase the frequency of posting I started doing that and that went great. I had a team
03:52 Working with me preparing all the videos for me and recording everything
03:56 Together with me and helping me edit and post and and all those things
04:01 Then came stage three stage three is when I got an office and to me this was amazing
04:08 But it also came with some major major challenges
04:10 Then I also had to deal with people face to face rather than just keep it very work
04:15 Related but those were also some of the most exciting and interesting times
04:19 This is the tiger era when me and tiger recorded videos all the time together in the in real life
04:25 We did a diss track and things like that
04:27 Then I realized that stage four kind of hit me and stage four was the tough time
04:35 where I had put people in charge of things, but rather than just being a youtuber that
04:42 Occasionally asks people to do work for them or being at an office and doing stuff together
04:48 I started dealing with
04:50 You know a lot more work on my shoulders having to do other people's works training people being the CEO of the company
04:58 And that was just total and complete chaos
05:01 And that's also when I decided you know what I kind of want to quit YouTube. I really did not enjoy it
05:07 I didn't have fun
05:09 like months after that people are saying that you know, they're making videos on on
05:14 Your views have dropped it to me. It was like no like this was a voluntary decision to quit so in stage four
05:21 I decided to set up blue blue gaming check him out on YouTube a very very successful right now
05:27 And I started focusing more of my time and energy on that
05:30 keeping in mind that I will retire at some point in the future and blue will be able to
05:36 Continue and live on forever and now we're kind of at stage five where I realized that
05:43 We have set up blue and blue is successful, and that's great, but personally I can't sit still
05:48 I want to work on things and I was set up new things and new projects however
05:51 I'm not gonna set up a new project rather
05:54 I want to revisit an old one and that is the cobble cup YouTube channel, so I'm kind of leaving retirement and
06:01 With a new and refreshed look
06:04 Tackling the challenges that I have faced with cobble cup and tackle them in a way that I've not tackled them before
06:10 for example we have cobble cup AI now who I love because I
06:15 This just creates a completely new dynamic on the channel that I thoroughly enjoy. It's me alright
06:20 It's my twin AI clone, so it's not like I have a co-host
06:25 But I also have a co-host but the co-host is me in this stage 5
06:29 I want to run a YouTube channel where I am merely the person on the camera
06:35 I don't want to sure I'll give my opinion on the videos that I want to record
06:39 But I want the team I want the audience you cops the community
06:44 To pick and choose what you want me to do and then I want to be surprised by the recordings
06:50 I want them to be genuinely fun, and that's all I just want to have a good time, and that's all I'm thinking about
06:56 That's really my goal for 2024 and that's my really my goal for a cobble cup right now
07:00 Can you share a memorable experience you've had with a fan actually I've had a gazillion
07:06 good experiences
07:08 With you guys with the fans
07:10 I've been doing YouTube for so long which means that if you were 12 when you started watching me back in the day
07:16 You're 22 now. I like to go to parties. I live in Amsterdam
07:20 I like to party occasionally here and there and to me the funniest fan
07:24 Experiences are when I go to parties and sure I'm drinking. I'm having a good time
07:30 I'm doing my thing but every five minutes
07:34 What if you guys recognize as me and to me it brings me a lot of joy where I?
07:40 Can first of all just go to parties and not go crazy or?
07:44 Be be swarmed sometimes it turns out to be a really fun night
07:48 I make new friends and people you know they meant they tell me about how they used to watch videos
07:53 Or they still watch the videos they love the AI stuff
07:57 Those are a bit of the things that they share and then I don't know I spent like two hours
08:01 Hanging out with them at a party just having a good time and sometimes
08:04 It's like hey, how are you doing, or I'm in the restroom, and I go get that F out of here
08:09 Don't ask pictures all in all I would say
08:13 99.9% of the interactions are phenomenal are there any types of content or projects you want to explore in the future
08:19 Besides my absolute like life goal
08:22 One day I want to sell all my companies and focus on lifespan and health and probably with AI and tech
08:30 Figure out how to get people to live longer and happier lives if I ever get to the point where I can sell my companies
08:36 For way too much money. I will and then I'll focus on lifespan, but in the more foreseeable future
08:42 We are obviously building some AI tools that I want to share with the world and give to you
08:47 One of them is idea to video
08:50 Idea to video is where you simply type out a video idea and the entire video comes out from editing to voiceover to music
08:58 Everything the images everything will be AI generated in a matter of minutes
09:02 For not much money a viral thumbnail AI we're also working on
09:07 this is a tool that creates a viral YouTube thumbnail based on a video title or a video idea and
09:14 My favorite of them all hell skate which is coming out soon
09:20 And that should be fun. We're also most likely gonna be
09:25 Sharing a demo aka a free version of the game
09:28 So make sure you stay tuned for that
09:30 And and all the support on that would be phenomenal since we've been working on it for four years
09:35 Aside from gaming and content creation. What are some of your hobbies?
09:38 One of my number one hobbies is to take good care of my physical and mental well-being
09:44 So not only do I love going to the sauna. I love to meditate in the sauna
09:49 I love to learn how to cook new things and I love to go to the gym
09:55 All right, I'll share some like progress pictures like before and after right over here. I'm a hundred percent natural
10:03 Sometimes get comments people saying that I do steroids, which is a lovely compliment. Thank you so much that you believe that
10:10 Because for me it has been extremely
10:13 hard work and dedication
10:16 For off I would say I had first at the gym seven years. I didn't take it serious for like three
10:22 Where do you find inspiration for your videos? So inspiration for my videos comes from the writers room
10:28 It's where me and two or three other people who dream cobble cup who know everything about the channel
10:33 We go and sit down and we'll toss up the content direction
10:37 for example
10:38 right now what we really want to focus on is cobble cup and cobble cup AI doing fun things together and really building out that
10:45 Story and the backstory or cobble cup and cobble cup AI
10:49 we try to be guided by the audience and the data that we gather from you and then and we try to come up with
10:55 The best plan of action to improve our strategy and and that's all done in the writers room
11:01 What's a fun fact about you that most people know this will be the last question
11:05 It is that I'm an extremely hard worker and I often work too hard and I know this for myself
11:12 So that's when I know that I need to take breaks. I wake up at 6:30 every morning
11:16 I hit the gym and often I'm one of the first people at the office. I work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. I love it
11:24 And and when I work I like to work very focused and very dedicated
11:28 so yeah, that's a that's a fun fact a lot of people don't know about me and
11:32 With that I want to say thank you so much for checking out this Q&A
11:37 Thank you so much for being here and I will see you in the next video
11:40 Don't forget to leave a comment with more questions and I will answer them in the next Q&A
11:45 Which I'll probably spice up a little bit. Like I said, we're booting up the production process
11:50 So slowly but surely things should be getting better. See you in the next one
