Ryan Higa – On His YouTube Videos

“They’re very random, but at the same time, I try to target things that I’m personally interested in, and things that I think my viewers are interested in. So when there’s the whole epidemic of Ebola, for example, I made a video about that because it was being talked about. Even though Ebola has been around for a long time, it was in the news and everybody was talking about this big scare — it became a topical thing.” (1)
