How Danny Gonzalez’s time on Vine helped him grow a following on YouTube.

When he was a kid, Danny Gonzalez found that YouTube offered him and his group of friends a place to unleash their creativity.

Then, months later, he saw that his favorite comedian, Bo Burnham, had posted on Vine. “So that’s when I started making Vines,” he said. “I was like, ‘I want to be like Bo Burnham when I grow up.’” He began making green screen videos, putting himself into things like music videos, which began to grow his popularity. He recalled that one of, which doesn’t include his face, was an edit of scenes from the film “Jurassic Park,” in which he’d edited shoes onto the dinosaurs while a digital voice sang “What are those?” to the film’s theme music.Gonzalez said it was after that phase that he really began to find himself. He posted what he felt was funny, rather than try to be someone else.

He took Vine’s shutdown as a sign that he should return to his first creative outlet, YouTube. After a year of experimenting with his channel, he quit his day job in April 2018 and began doing YouTube full time. Today, he has a following of more than 5 million subscribers, a group he lovingly refers to as “Greg.”
