Anthony Padilla previously experienced a bit of burnout from working on Smosh,
00:20
and left the channel in 2017 due to creative differences with their parent company at the
00:25
time, Defy Media. At the 2023 Streamy Awards, What's Trending got a chance to talk to Smosh,
00:31
and they opened up about what will be different this time around.
00:34
"Actually part of the reason that I left in 2017 is because it was just so much all at once,
00:40
but now we built really incredible teams, you know, with my channel, with Smosh,
00:44
we built really incredible teams that can help us accomplish all the things that we want to
00:48
accomplish without putting too much stress and pressure on us. Too much, I mean, there's still
00:53
a lot, but it's not quite, you know, overbearing." "Yeah, the Google calendar is going crazy right
00:58
now." New Smosh content is officially out now, and includes reactions to old videos,
