Dhar Mann explains how YouTube’s three-second attention economy changes storytelling, why he worries creators may be “rotting people’s minds,” and why data can’t replace a creator’s intuition or moral compass. He also opens up about growing up Sikh and bullied, feeling caught between cultures, chasing money to find belonging, and trying to give his daughters the childhood he didn’t have.
