- I feel like Kim Kardashian right now, oh!
- I cannot believe it's been 10 years of VidCon.
- I have a lot to say that I don't know if I should say,
but I'm 'bout to say it. - Girl, what?
- Let's do this.
(scream)
(upbeat music)
- It's my time for confession.
- 10 years ago I was definitely very, very, very shy.
- Kind of scared to come out of my shell,
scared to be who I truly was,
but once I started YouTube,
people kind of accepted that and I found my community
that really, really embraced who I was.
- I feel I'm the same person, I've just matured,
and I grew a beard.
- 15 year old Molly was a very angsty, emo kid.
- Watching Smosh, Jenna Marbles, Shane Dawson.
- Michelle Phan, Juicystar07,
AllThatGlitters21, Dulce Candy.
- I was dumber. I'm smarter now.
We only just get smarter, and smarter, and smarter
and then we die. (chuckle)
(upbeat music)
- I'm ready.
I wanna be someone who is always putting positive energy
out there, being silly, having fun.
- Well I'm down with like "I gotta be super serious
"about how I'm doing it", look like,
yes, you gotta work hard, but this is about
having as much fun as possible.
- I really wanna hit back with who I really am as a person,
my true values.
Just like more authenticity.
- You remember how someone made you feel,
you don't really remember what they said.
So I just wanna make people feel good.
(upbeat music)
- I have so much to say.
Who am I gonna be in 10 years?
Beyoncé. (laughs)
- I'm not gonna rush or pressure myself
to think what I'm gonna be in 10 years.
- In 10 years, I will be a media mogul,
a big tv star, movie star.
- Creating all the time, I always wanna be creating.
- Being a really good role model for younger kids.
- Be like a blind girl that owns my own car.
That would be really fun.
- Well, I know in 10 years I'm still gonna be a dad.
That's really the only constant I have in my life.
I know I'll be married and be a dad.
- Taller? (chuckle)
Just keep growing and keep learning, but still me.
(upbeat music)
- One time my subscriber brought her dog
to a meet and greet and I was like (squeals)
You know I love dogs.
- This girl ran up to me at VidCon.
She was so excited she goes "Oh my god.
"You're The Fitness Marshall."
I was like "Yes, it's me The Fitness Marshall."
And she said "My mom loves you."
"Yes, we can get a picture for your mom."
- Actually meeting a kid last year
who had like all my three books.
And had questions about the stories
and the treasure hunts in the books.
He really knew my material.
- I do remember one person who came up
and had drawn the periodic table
to look exactly the way that we made it in our video.
It was Cuckoo-lalu-crazy.
Like so detailed and they were just like "here."
And they were like 10.
It should be in the MoMA.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys.
I got a lot of tea today.
My first YouTube video that I every watched
was a JennaMarbles "How to Trick People
"Into Thinking You're Good Looking."
Changed my life. (chuckles)
And also the "Oh My God Shoes" video.
- Paparazzi.
- Either Epic Meal Time or Devinsupertramp
like back in 2009-2010.
- The first video I remember watching on YouTube was
a dance video of Kaba Modern from UC Irvine back in 2005.
Holy Moly.
(upbeat music)
- I've always wanted to be in front of a white backdrop.
- I think that Nala Cat's gonna be an icon in 10 years.
This is the third event that I've seen her at
in the last month.
She's been putting in work.
- Emilia Fart is definitely gonna be an icon.
- I'd like to say it's me or my brother, you know?
But, you never know.
- MrBeast.
- Jimmy, MrBeast.
- He's very successful on YouTube,
but he's doing a lot of good.
- He's making generosity the thing to aspire to be
'cause he's not just buying lamborghinis
and living in the Hollywood Hills,
but he's doing amazing philanthropic stuff with his channel.
- His stuff has like a very positive, fun vibe to it.
And it's inspiring to see that be successful.
(upbeat music)
- Definitely Trisha Paytas.
I don't know why, I can watch anything of hers.
- Trisha Paytas like sitting on the kitchen floor,
eating food, whatever, like I just, I love it.
- I love you Trisha.
I don't know if you're watching this, but I love you.
- The amount of times I've stayed up
watching, like, obscure summer 2013 Harry Styles
sexy video compilations is outrageous.
- I recently got a little puppy, Max Eh 30,
So I've just been kinda binge watching
these cute little puppies cuddling.
- Animal videos, I'm obsessed.
I don't know why I just, I think they're so cute.
- Gordon Ramsay videos, man.
I can't get enough of him, like, yelling at people
and then just making incredible food.
- I'm obsessed with Kyle Hanagami's dance videos
and I have a vase in my basement that I broke twice
from swinging my leg around trying to dance.
That's a really guilty pleasure actually that's
really good for your body and I'm actually good at dancing.
(upbeat music)
- Actually I didn't have a tripod.
First time I wanted to vlog, and I needed it high,
so I stacked it on these leftover food trays.
Literally, like, the camera's almost wobbling.
- Our first video set up was a green screen,
but not just any green screen.
There was a green sheet on a mattress,
cuz that's how we keep it in budget.
- The first YouTube video I uploaded was on a cellphone.
- On my webcam, on my bed.
- It was a video of me dancing to High School Musical 2.
- 720p, really pixelated.
- We had to like, sync it to the audio.
We didn't know how to do that
cause we didn't record it with audio,
so I was just tryna like align the song to the dance,
and whenever it looked good enough,
I uploaded it to YouTube.
(upbeat music)
- If I weren't a created, I'd be an astronaut,
because I need to know what's out there.
- I would definitely still wanna work
in entertainment, beauty, fashion.
That kind of thing.
- Either magic or stand-up comedy.
Like, magic, of course is what I used to do.
Might be getting back into it soon, you never know.
- If I wasn't a creator, I would probably be a nurse.
- Maybe an interior designer, still creative,
just in a different way, I guess.
(upbeat music)
- Let's get real.
I used to be super into musical theater,
so I can kinda sing.
Don't make me sing.
♪ Suddenly see more ♪
- One thing my fans would be surprised to know about me,
I'm actually a little more shyer than people think.
I don't wanna go to a big party.
Unless it's a Quince, then I'll go to a party.
- I really like to watch ASMR videos.
I get the tingles at the back of my head
and on my arms, it's so relaxing, you should try it.
(upbeat music)
- I kinda wanna be remembered as someone who's
true to who they are.
Being, you know, a nice guy,
whether it's on-camera, off-camera.
- I just wanna make sure that I leave
a beautiful impact on the world, you know?
Love and light always.
- A genuine, authentic role model.
Just like a badass chick taking on the world.
- If I were to be known as anything,
it would be as the owner of the world's
most well-behaved cat.
(upbeat music)
- Something that I don't want to see changed is the climate.
It doesn't need to change anymore.
- I hope the relationship with my friends never change.
I don't want that to end.
- What I hope is different in 10 years is that
we're all more green.
I just want like no more plastic, like get out.
What I hope is the same is the internet is a community
of awesome, powerful, kick-butt weirdos.
And I hope that never changes,
cause we're taking over, baby, and we're here to stay,
and I'm excited.
