What todays creators want aspiring creators to know

For three days, Mashable was on the ground at VidCon 2026, talking to the creators, executives, and industry leaders shaping the future of the internet.

From our booth on the convention floor, we sat down with some of today’s biggest creators, moderated conversations about the creator economy, and explored the ideas driving the next generation of online entertainment. Along the way, we discussed everything from AI and creator burnout to community building, platform shifts, and what it takes to build a lasting career online.

This highlight reel brings together some of our favorite moments — and some of the best advice we heard all weekend. From candid interviews and behind-the-scenes footage to packed panels and creator insights, it’s a snapshot of the conversations shaping the future of online creativity.
