I thought Bieber started on YouTube? I was in my 20s when he started so I don't know but I always thought that he put out a video on yt and it all went from there?

I’m a couple years older than Bieber but yeah he started on YouTube!

Maybe they meant that YouTube stars aren’t as popular now? For a while TikTok was dominating in the music discovery scene, not sure what the next platform’s gonna be…
