Adam McIntyre shares the piece of advice content creators arent likely to hear

Adam McIntyre is no stranger to the internet.

"From probably seven years old, I have had some sort of online presence, which is horrifying to admit," McIntyre said.

That extensive first-hand experience with internet culture worked in his favor, though. These days, McIntyre is an established commentary YouTuber and Twitch streamer, with 541,000 subscribers and 47,000 followers, respectively. He edits his streams into his YouTube videos, resulting in a prolific catalog. If there's an internet controversy you're familiar with, chances are, McIntyre has made a video about it.

McIntyre and Mashable Reporter Bethany Allard discuss what brought him to making commentary videos, how he found his voice in a crowded space, why he does it all without a team, and the major benefits on turning Twitch streams into YouTube content.

He also talks about how he takes care of his mental health, how he approaches what to cover, and why the best advice he can offer content creators is usually frowned upon.
