Q1: How did you discover YouTube?
- I actually dont know, but i probably found it way back in 2011 or 2012.
Q2: What made you want to become a YouTuber?
- I saw many Algodoo races, but once i saw this one algodoo car race, which was an infection car race and i was like "I wanna make them!"
Q3: Who inspired you to make Animation videos?
- My videos arent animations, they're simulations made in Algodoo, but my big inspiration was Mark's Marble Racing.
Q4: Who is your favorite and least favorite YouTuber?
- Mark's Marble Racing is my most favourite, I literally always watch 2 of his infection car races. Least favourite... cant decide
Q5: If you could change anything about YouTube, What would it be?
- Hmmm, dunno to be honest.
Q6: Who is your most subscribed subscriber?
- Brilliance, with 11k subscribers, they're also another Algotuber.
Q7: What is your favorite and least favorite video you made?
- I have 2 favourite videos, the Africa Infection Car Race Season 12 and the Infection Car Race Season 9 Finale, least favourite... I dont have any, they're all good in their own way.
Q8: Do you have any goals on YouTube?
- Not really, I just want to keep growing and getting people entertained.
Q9: What advice would you give to someone who wants to do YouTube?
- Just do what you feel comfortable doing, if you feel you need to mix things up, mix it up in a way you are also comfortable with.
Q10: How did you come up with the name Kompridi?
- It actually comes from one of my made-up countries, called The Islands of Kompridi/Kompridi Islands, which was created a few days before i uploaded my first video. Not sure why i specifically chose Kompridi out of all of the others, but i just stuck with it.
Q11: Why do you think your most viewed video is the most viewed video on your channel?
- I honestly have no idea, It's likely because the thumbnail clearly shows the USA, and most of my viewers are American. Side note for 11.: If you include all of my other channels, my actual most viewed video is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCZhCYAFXNA For that video, I have absolutely no clue how it got so many views.
Q12: What do you think would happen if YouTube got banned worldwide?
- Absolute chaos.
Q13: What is your least favorite part when making a video?
- Accidentally rotating parts of the tracks or cars or releasing the wrong batch of infected cars, However, I edit these accidents out of the video for the viewer's convience.
Q14: Who is the biggest YouTuber you met?
- Honestly I cant remember, I have had conversations with Kenlimepie and even one with Mark's Marble Racing, but no IRL or in-game meetings.
