vlogbrothers
On January 1st, 2007, John and Hank Green ceased textual communication for one year, instead communicating via videos on YouTube on the channel vlogbrothers, every single weekday. The brothers received punishments if a video was skipped or over four minutes long, and it was often up to the community around the videos—also known as the nerdfighters, who fight for nerds and the decrease of World Suck—to decide on and suggest punishments, including eating a blenderized Happy Meal (John) and spending 15 hours in Target (Hank). The nerdfighter community has been a driving force behind myriad amazing charitable and fun projects right from the start, including the annual Project for Awesome.
With nearly two decades worth of videos online, John and Hank still make weekly vlogs, with John uploading on Tuesdays and Hank on Fridays.
