The new design system seems to be playing it very safe - too safe imo. It looks identical to a feed from Facebook or Instagram. Maybe the pinks and purples of the first design were a step too far but at least they had a personality.
You are far too humble. With 300k plus subs, at least a few engineers from all major tech companies are watching all your videos. They are watching you Ben!
You had my like at "The reality is business happens everywhere. At the roulette table as you're losing thousands with fellow gambling addicts..." True.
I can't believe the sales team went clubbing while the development team was killing themselves trying to ship the App. Typical toxic culture of the working environment in every startup, #CANCELASTRAL #FREEBENAWAD
I handle all my business deals with strippers and some Coke. You're on the right track, Ben. No doubt about it. PS: If you need a "fixer" (or a dealer) to join the venture, let me know.
Omg im actually so proud of Ben for going out and actually doing something , non “weird nerdy STEM student staying in their house playing Valorant” LOL some of y’all need to do what he did and go touch some grass.
If this channel has taught me anything in the past several months now; it's to keep all my greatest (potential million/billion dollar) ideas to myself.. lol
Lowercase everything cheapens the product. I did it for an online art store and it was literally the first thing every investor pointed out. It's also not really a gen-z trend in the same way you think it is. People turn off autocap for comments because the margin between their username and comment body is small and with autocap on, the whole line looks camel-case. It's more of an adaptation rather than an aesthetic trend
god this is the first man i've ever met in my life who does this all lower case thing. i seriously don't have any idea why but upper case just looks ugly on computers. i do upper case 'I' sometimes though because of the macos autocorrection but i am now on windows so
You’re humour is the absolute best, fan for life. Also, how come you can realise that you want to refer to a comment you are replying to it, whilst replying & UA-cam cannot figure this out.. 🤔

Hey Ben, I honestly just feel like these large tech companies get inspired from your videos to release new features...😂😄 Question: Why wouldn't they watch your video? It's on UA-cam and is not restricted to an audience...
Imho, avoid lowercased titles. Plus, the screenshot you've showed, three were lowercased out of six. So is it really a trend to lowercase everything (cause it looks plain)?
It's been too long without you Ben, I need some more quality content gosh darn it. Show me your sleep deprived face please Ben. Ughhhh I need it please you don't understand. It's been too long. I don't know how much longer I can wait. The most honest and straightforward dev boi channel
This channel is basically the spin-off we never got of Ryan from The Office.
oh my god
yes
Wow, that's hilarious
I remembered the rise and fall video of Ryan LOL
OMG every memory of Ryan came rushing ...fking intern,Couldn't even make a sale, ended up litting the office on fire
@@xsuritox1058 soo should he choose a Bowling Saloon for hisself?
This update was just Ben talking about him being chad and possibly getting laid! Our boy is growing up 🥺
If "The Social Network" has taught us anything, its that party = more success
hey, the man did mention something about a "seed round" ;)
😂😂😂
"I dont think they're interested in the right type of seed round" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My duuude.
I think this is the funniest thing he's said hahahha
Goat
I don’t get it
@@marcframe7449 haha sex funny xD
He said it so nonchalantly that it almost seems he closed the round without giving up any equity.
Ben living up to AstralFans with that thumbnail tho.
😂 😂
Right wtf lol
I never expected a thumbnail like this from him lmao😂
@@rboapaudfs8SkE2h yeah that’s right censor “Asian”
It’s a very bad word
He's into Asians
"I don't think they're interested in the right type of seed round" - HA HA HA HA!!! Thanks. Now I have coffee all over my monitor and keyboard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was a fvcken bar!!!!!
Watch Ben actually become a millionaire with a joke youtube series.
He’ll probably be canceled before that. He’s brogrammer series is probably coming to an end.
@@cameronhowe1110 what are you talking about?
Now Ben has photographic evidence that he has been within arms reach of at least two women.
He had one on his shoulders at one of the hackathons
I am going to turn your likes from 68 to 69, so much power
@@owpal9246 dinner for two
This index of the Astral array is probably the best one so far LMFAOOOOOOOOO
Have never clicked a video this fast seeing the thumbnail
Lmaoo I thought it was only me
"at the pool, rubbing sun screen on your angel investor."
I have never ever thought I will one day be excited and waiting for a guy called ben awad to drop a video about astro
I’m starting to think Ben isn’t trolling anymore...
Lmao what are you doing here
@@adammajmudar889 what r u doing here 👀
The new design system seems to be playing it very safe - too safe imo. It looks identical to a feed from Facebook or Instagram. Maybe the pinks and purples of the first design were a step too far but at least they had a personality.
The comments section is 1:1 to TikTok
0:31, the most excited ben i've ever seen til date :)
"at the pool when you're rubbing sunscreen on an angel investor" bro crying
I came for startup business insight and left with a parody of The Social Network. Keep it up Ben.
You are far too humble. With 300k plus subs, at least a few engineers from all major tech companies are watching all your videos. They are watching you Ben!
I think Ben is secretly working for these huge companies as a consultant and then he is entertaining us with UA-cam.
You’re humor is intelligent, and awesome.
Listening to Taylor Swift's Wildest Dream. LOL
Her songs are actually good background music while coding.
You can say you love them
Don’t underestimate what bigger companies are watching and reading. Interns and assistants will filter popular information to the top.
"Never have I ever wanted Soylent more in that moment" I literally lol'd.
"Which to the untrained eye I might seem like I was having fun" Had me laughing for a while 🤣🤣🤣🤣
someone else, was waiting that Ben shows more footage of him partying? xD
Hola hermano. Yo te corrijo porque yo tambien aprendo idiomas:
Was anyone else waiting for Ben to show more footage pf him partying??
The duality of your UA-cam / TikTok content and fanbase is incredible
0:30 🤣
Good job, Ben!
You had my like at "The reality is business happens everywhere. At the roulette table as you're losing thousands with fellow gambling addicts..." True.
dude, you got me laughting sooo hard with that clip in the beginning! hahaha
Ben. That thumbnail.
that lower case title makes me feel weird, but i guess im not the target audience
m8 I've posted a similar comment and both of our comments have lower case letter as the first one XD
i have successfully taught my mobile keyboard to not capitalize the letter "i"
I can't believe the sales team went clubbing while the development team was killing themselves trying to ship the App. Typical toxic culture of the working environment in every startup, #CANCELASTRAL #FREEBENAWAD
“Consistent posting schedule”
Low key excited for this product - every Discord I join I get more overwhelmed 😂
I started trying to use it recently and I'm so lost lol
- Am I out of touch?
- No, it's the children who are wrong
is clubbing available in dark mode?
Uhh yeah that's the default
There's a light mode?
1:31 "Two of my bitches were successful"
- Ben Awad
my theory on the first letter being lowercase is that it could be from users on a computer, not a phone.
Moving operations next week to a suite in Vegas is bold! This might be the spark that your company really needs. Welcome home Mr. Papageorgio!
Benjamin Awad be flexing with that thumbnail 😬
The reason I stopped using all lowercase messages was because of brands doing the same. Thanks Ben.
Sounds like Ben injected a few of his own seed rounds
5:43, why go the extra step to hit the shift key
This is like a scene from The Social Network.
Explain the thumbnail first
it's photoshopped
I handle all my business deals with strippers and some Coke. You're on the right track, Ben. No doubt about it.
PS: If you need a "fixer" (or a dealer) to join the venture, let me know.
I looked at the thumbnail and then saw the title and couldn’t stop laughing 😂 😂😂
It is not an OnlyFans
Me: *the thumbnail speaks differently*
It is. Just that you don't pay with money.
I could listen you to sleep ....your voice is so asmr
Wildest Dreams, nice type of Music
Work hard, waste money harder 😈😈😈💪💪 sigma grindset my man
I will say one thing you are real man of Action
Spotify came out of no where and straight up yoinked Ben's idea.
Who the F on UA-cam decided on the subtitles font😑. That thing is hard to read
Omg im actually so proud of Ben for going out and actually doing something , non “weird nerdy STEM student staying in their house playing Valorant” LOL some of y’all need to do what he did and go touch some grass.
whats wrong with being a nerd
I chose sage
Just a simple black T-shirt with an orange tie printed on it.
I would buy.
ben is starting to merge his tiktok and youtube content together with that thumbnail LOL
love the lowercase design
If this channel has taught me anything in the past several months now; it's to keep all my greatest (potential million/billion dollar) ideas to myself.. lol
Broo top 1% fan of The Weeknd?! My respect for you 📈📈
good luck on the journey bro!
you're handling 2 businesses at same time, you're superhero man

You liking soylent explains so much
there was an IRC, almost everyone typed in lowercase, then it felt to coma
Best thumbnail and title combo on UA-cam!
Anybody know the name of that track that was playing when ben was fake partying at 0:32
This time next year this guy is going to be at least a millionaire if not a TRES COMMAS.
so when a new video?
great vid man as always, the speed you can code at is just crazy my man, sure you have a lot of experience
I was expecting to see Ben waste his billions from Astral in yatch party...bit disappointed 😔🤣
You’re humour is the absolute best, fan for life.

lowercase is the vibe
u bouta be rich dude
Isn't this thing with emojis flying up the screen and slowly fading exactly what happens on Instagram live streams?
HAHAHAHAHAHAH BEST log episode so far!
Bruh stop bribing my FBI agent to make jokes about the exact music I listen to while I'm grinding project completion
0:32 whats the name of the song? :) thx

Ben, forgot how fast Twitter and discord ripped off clubhouse. Member, clubhouse?
I'm wondering at what point do stock photo sites start removing their watermarks upfront and make people pay for them.
Hey Ben, I honestly just feel like these large tech companies get inspired from your videos to release new features...😂😄
Question: Why wouldn't they watch your video? It's on UA-cam and is not restricted to an audience...
The 'corporation' doesn't watch, but I'm pretty sure many spotify devs are watching Ben's videos.
@@dmh20002 I agree with you 100%
Business in the front, party in the back
Ben you look so happy in the thumbnail ❤️
Imho, avoid lowercased titles. Plus, the screenshot you've showed, three were lowercased out of six. So is it really a trend to lowercase everything (cause it looks plain)?
Look how are you enjoying the Club!
Just wondering, because it is pretty exclusive doenst that mean not a lot of people are going to use it?
Next you'll be telling me the kids have stopped ending their texting sentences with a full stop.
Night clubs are my idea of torture.
Anyone else finds this therapeutic?
Opposite of “work hard in silence, let success make the noise” real successful founders are too busy for social media/UA-cam
Brother saying it all with that straight face. I am dead 😂
I can't tell if this project is just 100% content and a meme or if this is real LOL
Ben, you communicate really well. You were on UA-cam and I have never seen you before?! wtf
Rubbing sun screen on Angel Investor killed me
5:28 jim brown?
If that means Jim Browning, that's a actual UA-camr.
you forgot to make the title of this video all lowercase
the lower case thing is absolutely genius
