“I really like YouTube for what it is now, but it’s not going to last forever,” Rodo says. It’s one of the reasons the Toronto-based producer partnered with Bell Media’s Much Digital Studios to create Dan for a Week, a slick new web series in which he challenges himself to upend his life in weird ways. YouTuber Dan Rodo has amassed millions of views on his channel “The Danocracy” but knows he still needs way more. Transgender creator Stef Sanjati says she too was in negotiations with Much Digital Studios to help grow her audience on YouTube and beyond but decided instead to hire an agent to chase sponsorship deals. The episodes were shot in Toronto with a cast of mostly Canadian actors, including Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall.
