And I feel like if you exist in a world where you can never let go of what you make, you will never move on as a creator or as a creative person. I had the idea because I felt like so many people on YouTube were attached to their content and wouldn't be willing to let go of it under any circumstance. No, I'd like to think this is something that's pretty original to YouTube. Where did the idea for Unus Annus come from? Was it something you saw other channels do?

Late last year, Fischbach put that idea to the test with the launch of a highly experimental YouTube called Unus Annus. "I personally would be OK with that because I wouldn't stop as a creative individual, but I feel like a lot of people wouldn't say the same thing."
