Some of the early Italian YouTubers mentioned are Yotobi, the Jackal, Guglielmo Scilla, Favij, and Sofì and Luì.

What is Dario's perspective on why some big YouTubers have disappeared?

Dario believes the reason is that many managers of YouTubers only understand the surface level of the platform and content, focused on monetization and branding. They don't fully grasp creators' dreams, connections, and the overall culture.

What does Dario say about translating internet culture to traditional media?

He believes that what originates on the internet should stay there. For example, memes lose their meaning when put on paper. However, he is open to writing a book on the history of Italian YouTube.

What is Poldo's goal for his YouTube career?

Poldo wants to 'milk' his YouTube career as much as possible in the near future. Long-term, he is interested in studying the blending of internet culture and pop culture.

How did Dario and Poldo first meet?

They met at a comic book convention in Sicily years ago. Dario recalls Poldo arriving with a big bottle of lemon liqueur that he shared with everyone there late into the night.

What are Dario's thoughts on traditional media like TV entering internet culture?

He sees it as ironic, because internet creators have always tried accessing traditional media for more success. Now those outlets themselves like RAI in Italy have web shows on YouTube trying to tap into internet culture.

What is Poldo's perspective on why some YouTubers disappear?

Poldo feels current managers are more knowledgeable since they grew up following original creators. However, the core issue remains creators not knowing themselves what they want to do and not recognizing bad opportunities.

Some groups named are The Jackal, Fuori di Testa (featured members Enormementepoi and Michael Richini), and French Mall.

What is the conclusion on overuse of the word 'literally'?

They feel the overuse comes from internet memes and TikTok. It is not originally an Italian trend but translates the English use poorly, losing proper meaning.
