As it approaches its 13th birthday, YouTube is now old enough to be divided into distinct eras, and a new web series is examining what happens when two of those eras mix. Luke Mones and Steve Tooke are the co-creators of Influencer, which stars Mones as a one-time viral video star who looks to get back into the online video biz.
