YouTube Star AboFlah Made Streaming His Life. He Wants His Kids to Live Offline

We have our conversation in the studio of 8Flamez, the company he cofounded alongside Eyad Siyam and Saad Sarwar to manage creators and build infrastructure for the creator economy. It’s a massive, white-walled space scattered with props, furniture, and recording equipment, ready to film at any moment. He arrives on time but slightly annoyed at having missed an appointment earlier in the day. He’s not one to miss an appointment; or even an email, as I later find out. His inbox has a measly 17 unread emails.
