NTD News stopped by the Gan Jing World booth at VidCon 2026 — the world's largest gathering for online video creators — to see why families and creators are embracing a safer, kinder internet. 💛 In the segment "VidCon Showcases Digital Communities," NTD highlights how Gan Jing World is putting "Technology for Humanity" into practice: a platform free of pornographic, violent, and harmful content, plus Gan Jing Kids, the #1 safe platform for values-based learning that gives parents real peace of mind. One parent summed it up best: "Finally, someone is doing good!" We also welcomed creators into our #BeKindBeCool Kindness Awards — because kindness should be the thing that goes viral. ▶️ Watch on Gan Jing World: https://www.ganjingworld.com/s/NpqmyaKDrw?t=3213.738135 📺 Coverage courtesy of NTD News — "VidCon Showcases Digital Communities."

From meeting favorite online creators to exploring the latest digital platforms,
thousands gathered in Anaheim, California for VidCon.
NTD's Christina Corona shows us how the event is inspiring the next generation of creators
while highlighting the push for more positive online communities.
Creator economy is on full display as thousands of digital creators,
industry leaders, and fans come together for VidCon.
Attendees can meet their favorite creators,
explore new platforms, and discover the latest trends in digital media.
Now in its 16th year, VidCon has become one of the world's largest events for digital creators,
bringing together influencers, industry leaders, and fans under one roof.
Attendees can watch live podcasts, explore emerging technology,
and discover new platforms shaping the future of online content.
For many families, it's also a chance to encourage the next generation of creators.
Well, my son brought me out. He's a big YouTube fan and he actually has a YouTube channel himself,
so I thought it would be a good experience for him.
One attendee says the event has already inspired his son to continue creating content.
So far, he's been, you know, making little short videos throughout this
weekend, so I think it's inspiring him.
Do you make content yourself?
No, but maybe in the future I will.
Content creator Kato Roberts, who has over one million followers on YouTube,
says he hopes to use his platforms to inspire young audiences both online and in person.
Well, I just want them to show love and to be able to, you know, care for other people because,
you know, in this generation, I just feel like kids are like so,
you know, they just care about themselves and they're just like very rude and,
you know, I've seen some horrible things that kids have done and I'm just like,
hey, you know, you can be kind and have fun at the same time.
For many attendees, meeting creators face-to-face is what makes the experience memorable.
He's got about 10 YouTubers on his shirt. He's going to wear the same shirt all weekend.
And there's CHE and Michelle right there, and then there's other players.
I went in here like yesterday also, and I meet other people also.
Among them was Ganjing World making its first appearance at VidCon.
Founded in 2022, the video sharing and streaming platform says its mission is
to create a family-friendly online environment by encouraging positive
content free of violent and explicit material.
The company also showcased new creator tools, including mobile live streaming,
short-gen beta and monetization features,
while inviting creators to participate in its Be Kind, Be Cool campaign.
The initiative encourages users to share acts of kindness through their content,
with selected creators featured on digital billboards in New York City's Times Square
during the campaign's annual celebration.
VidCon is highlighting how digital platforms are evolving
to give creators and families more choices online.
