Q1: How and when did you discover YouTube?

I think it was when I was 4-5 years old. My dad just got the iPad (it was brand new at the time) and it had a stock YouTube app on it.

Q2: Do you remember what the first video you ever watched is?

Q3: How many videos do you estimate you have watched?

Q4: Which YouTuber do you think is uploading the best content right now?

I have 2 I can think about that I really enjoy. I like Shane Dawson because of his docu-series videos. For my second one it has to be Scott The Woz because he is consistent and his humor is amazing.

Q5: Who is the most subscribed YouTuber that subscribes to you?

Q6: Who was the first YouTube channel you were a fan of?

I was a YouTube fanatic in 2014 when I was 8 years old. I watched EvenTubeHD and FUNnel Vision.

Q7: What genre do you think is the best/most viewed on YouTube right now?

I would have to say commentaries like penguinz0’s videos. I like the humor and the style.

Q8: Why do you prefer Apple devices to Android?

I have grown up with Apple devices like iPods, iPhones, and iPads. I never really tried Android or learned to use it. I do have a cheap Android phone I use for screwing around in Android. I am also working on a 2nd part stream trying to install Android on a Kindle Fire tablet.

Q9: Did you have mixed feelings about deleting your early videos?

I grew really self concious of my early stuff. I was 10 years old when I created my channel. I had a much earlier channel that is now my Extras Channel.

Q10: Your most viewed video has over 4.4M views. Did you ever think it would reach that many?

I made that video for fun because I was in the car driving from Branson, Missouri back home in November 2017. Around December 2017 it started to gain traction. It was small at first (I think it had 2.5K views on December 23rd, 2017) and late January or early February (I honestly don’t remember LMAO) it hit 50K views and a day later it hit 100K and my subcount on SocialBlade (RIP) was going nuts. I was getting 1K subscribers a day. If you look in the description of the video, I put little updates.

Q11: Have you always been a Cars fan?

From birth basically. I collected the toys when I was younger and played the video games on the Wii and the Xbox 360.

Q12: Have you been affected by COPPA a lot?

Not really. Sure, a drop in views but its been meh. I'm kinda mad because my comments keep getting turned off. I’ve been wanting to start swearing in videos but my mom doesn't like that lol.

Q13: You have over 17.8K subscribers, did you ever think you’d reach that many?

Q14: Do you game a lot? If so, what do you play on?

I play games mostly on my Nintendo Switch. I play Smash Bros often with friends online. If you are asking, my main is Joker.

Q15: You seem to be a huge fan of My Chemical Romance, what aspect in their music do you like?

I like the style of their music. I wasn't really a big rock fan but my friends suggested me Melena and have been hooked.

Q16: How did you come up with Inkoming as your channel name?

I was borrowing my friends copy of Splatoon 2 and one of the songs was called “Inkoming!” and I was wanting to change my name from Cars Fan 95 so I took the name when I had about 1K subs.

Q17: If you were the CEO of YouTube, what would you change?

The god awful algorithm. Make a better system, a WAAAAY better YouTube Rewind (not the WatchMojo kind) and celebrate the Creators more.

Q18: What is your dream job?

Q19: Do you watch your videos after you upload them?

I watch them when they are Unlisted. I check for editing mistakes because Final Cut is a chug on my computer and I can’t watch the video while I’m editing.

Q20: Do you edit your own videos?

Q21: Do you design your own thumbnails? If so, how long does it take to make one?

I do make my thumbnails. They take about 10-30 mins. I don’t have a good app on my computer yet so I use a mix of app on my phone called Phonto, Photoshop Mix, and Pixelmator.

Q22: Have you bought any YouTuber’s merch? Whose?

Q23: Have you ever done an interview like this before?
