In its web series Google Autocomplete Interview, tech publication Wired asks notable people the questions Google search users want answered. In the show’s latest episode, the Conde Nast-owned property invited top YouTube stars AsapSCIENCE, MatPat, Burnie Burns, and The Slow Mo Guys to answer some Google autocomplete strings related to their lives and to the online video industry at large.
The questions lobbied by Googlers include a number of silly ones. Over the course of the video, we learn whether AsapSCIENCE are vegetarians (they’re not), whether MatPat is a brony (also no), and whether The Slow Mo Guys are narcissistic (one out of two, apparently).
On the flipside, some of them questions give the featured stars some room to offer insights about their platform of choice. MatPat, known as one of the YouTube community’s smartest analytic voices, gets a chance to explain the sort of work that goes toward achieving digital excellence. Burns, however, provides the video’s best stat. “If you wanted to watch every single video on YouTube,” says the Rooster Teeth co-founder, “you’d fall two-and-a-half weeks behind every minute you tried to do that. It’s an enormous amount of content.”
Beyond the YouTube episode, nine other installments of Google Autocomplete Interview are available. They can be found, alongside Wired’s other videos, on the publication’s YouTube channel and on Conde Nast Entertainment’s digital platform The Scene.
