text:  Colin Hickey, also from VidCon, has been with the event for a long time. He talks about how it's expanded and changed. So it started in 2010 by Hank and John Green, the Green brothers, who are authors and YouTubers and entrepreneurs and philanthropists. And it was started in a Hyatt Regency in Los Angeles. It was about 1,200 people. Hank and John just noticed that YouTube fandom and community was really becoming a thing, and they wanted to create a convention to kind of celebrate that.
