Justine Ezarik

Tech reviewer who's been filming since 2006 — dives Maui reefs, trains jiu jitsu, and will absolutely recruit you into whatever hobby she started this week

Enthusiast-in-chiefAdventure with good logisticsPlayful fandom nerdCommunity hostCamera-first storyteller

Justine has been making things on camera since May 2006, and the through-line is consistency: same craft, same platform, two decades. Off-screen she's underwater in Maui, on a bike by the ocean, in jiu jitsu, or hunting Hawaii-exclusive Pokemon — an adventurous streak paired with genuinely good logistics (the dive was "just a short walk from the shore"). She's a connector and a celebrator: she thanks the teams who host her, cheers a friend's first day as CEO, and openly invites people to join her for their first dive. What she seems to want in return is someone warm, playful and present in the real world — who doesn't dampen the enthusiasm.

What Justine needs
A partner who says yes to firsts — hers and their own

She repeatedly frames new experiences as things to do together ('who's gonna be next to join the tech creator dive club?') and celebrates coaxing someone through their first attempt. A partner who hesitates at every new thing would starve that energy.

  • IG“thanks @thetechchap for braving his first dive with me — who’s gonna be next to join the tech creator dive club? 😂😂”
  • in“whatever new hobby she is into that week”
Respect for a craft she has sustained for two decades

She's not a dabbler in her work — same platform, continuously, since 2006, plus a governance role since 2023. She likely needs a partner who treats her career as a serious long game, not a phase.

  • in“Creator @ YouTube (May 2006 – Present)”
  • in“Board Member @ Creators Guild of America (Jan 2023 – Present)”
Warmth that gets noticed and returned

She consistently names and thanks the effort other people put in, and she values hosts who 'go above and beyond'. A partner who quietly assumes good experiences happen by themselves probably wouldn't land with her.

  • IG“Thanks to the @snapdragonofficial team for always putting on such a great event and going above and beyond to make sure we all have the best time!”
  • in“John’s first event as CEO was amazing 🤗 Excited for this next era of Apple!”
Playful banter and someone who can be teased (and tease back)

Her humour is punchy and self-styling — 'villain era', 'New Macs who dis?'. She wants a co-conspirator in the joke, not an audience that takes it too seriously.

  • IG“Entering my villain era 😂 how’d I do?”
  • IG“New Macs who dis? Full video live on YT 😍”
Someone who gets out into the actual world with her

Diving, cycling by the ocean and a sunset overlay that reads 'If you see her outside…..' all point to a person who wants to be out in the world, not permanently on the couch.

  • IG“Photo (mauve/pink sunset beach story text): overlay reads “If you see her outside…..””
  • IG“Photo (cycling by the ocean): helmet on, on a bike with sea backdrop”
Day-to-day warmth and a home anchor

Her dog is named in her bio as a core part of her life, suggesting daily caretaking routines and a real home base matter to her, even inside a travel-heavy schedule.

  • IG“🐶 dog: @djminimatt”
  • IG“Photo (post with Pokemon jacket): wearing an anime/character jacket with a playful, outward-facing stance indoors”
Hobbies
  • Scuba diving
    Dives shore-entry reefs — in Maui she walked in from the beach at Black Rock and saw turtles, and she actively recruits other creators into diving, including first-timers.
    • IG“Diving in Maui didn’t disappoint!! Just a short walk from the shore at Black Rock was so much life and really clear waters! 🐟🐠🐡🐢🐢🐢”
    • in“passion for tech, jiu jitsu, scuba diving”
  • Jiu jitsu
    Listed as a standing passion in both bios — one of the few fixed pillars alongside travel and tech, i.e. something she returns to rather than samples.
    • IG“✈️ travel 🤿 diving 💜 jiu jitsu”
    • in“passion for tech, jiu jitsu, scuba diving”
  • Cycling outdoors
    Photographed riding a bike with helmet on against an ocean backdrop — movement plus scenery rather than gym-only fitness.
    • IG“Photo (cycling by the ocean): helmet on, on a bike with sea backdrop”
  • Pokemon collecting / hunting
    Turns travel into a game — hunting Hawaii-exclusive Pokemon (and Rattata) while on a work trip, and owning a character/anime jacket.
    • IG“Gotta catch those Hawaii exclusive Pokemon (and Rattata) 🌺 #pokemon”
    • IG“Photo (post with Pokemon jacket): wearing an anime/character jacket”
  • Unboxing and hands-on gadget testing
    Regularly unboxes new iPhones and demos new hardware, including getting hands-on with haptics and describing how it feels to edit with that feedback.
    • in“[post 4, 2026-09-16] iPhone 18 Pro Unboxing!”
    • IG“I got a demo of their new haptics in the mouse and laptop and it was so cool to edit with this feedback!”
  • Travel
    Travel is a headline element of her identity — Maui for a summit, Hawaiian outfits 'working overtime', and a bio line dedicated to it.
    • IG“✈️ travel 🤿 diving 💜 jiu jitsu”
    • IG“What an amazing trip to Maui for #snapdragonsummit!”
Interests
  • Consumer tech and gadget releases
    Tracks launches closely — variable aperture, all colourways, new pro camera, new Macs, Apple Watch generations old vs new. She's fluent in the details and shares them constantly.
    • in“[post 1, 2026-09-16] iPhone 18 Pro Variable Aperture”
    • IG“Cermaies of the past and present — Apple Watch Series 2 vs 12”
  • Tech ethics and image integrity
    Cares about how AI is used to manipulate images — a principled, non-hype angle on the industry she covers.
    • in“Apple fighting AI and manipulation of images with reference images!”
  • Visual storytelling and camera craft
    Formal media education plus a working toolkit of video editing and Final Cut Pro; she gets excited about a new pro camera in a phone as a tool, not just a spec.
    • in“Skills: YouTube Video Creation, On-camera Hosting, Graphic Design, Video Editing, Final Cut Pro”
    • in“[post 8, 2026-09-19] New pro camera in iPhone 18 Pro!”
  • Podcasting and long-form conversation
    Co-runs a podcast, a recurring conversational format that sits alongside her video work.
    • IG“🎙 podcast: @samebrain”
  • Industry community and events
    Summits, keynotes, backstage chats with founders — the professional world she operates in is networked and collaborative.
    • IG“Partnered with @specs to take you behind the scenes at their keynote + chat with @evanspiegel, Co-Founder & CEO of Snap Inc.”
  • Marine life and underwater nature
    Gets visibly excited by what's living on a reef, not just the dive itself.
    • IG“Just a short walk from the shore at Black Rock was so much life and really clear waters! 🐟🐠🐡🐢🐢🐢”
Values
  • Generosity with credit and thanks
    She publicly names and credits the people who made an experience good, and celebrates other people's milestones without making it about her.
    • IG“Thanks to the @snapdragonofficial team for always putting on such a great event”
    • in“John’s first event as CEO was amazing 🤗”
  • Integrity in the thing you love
    She'll champion a platform and still call out what she thinks is wrong with it — caring enough to be critical.
    • in“Apple fighting AI and manipulation of images with reference images!”
  • Craft and iteration
    She lights up about sensory and technical refinement — a haptic demo made editing feel different. Details and small improvements genuinely register.
    • IG“it was so cool to edit with this feedback!”
    • IG“Also how cool is that translucent mouse? It was just a demo so we could see the internals but maybe they should actually make that!!!!”
  • Showing up for the long haul
    Twenty years on one platform and multiple years on a board role — loyalty and persistence over novelty-chasing.
    • in“YouTube Content Creator Since 2006”
    • in“Creator @ YouTube (May 2006 – Present)”
  • Bringing people along
    She frames good experiences as things to share and invite others into, including total beginners.
    • IG“who’s gonna be next to join the tech creator dive club? 😂😂”
    • IG“thanks @thetechchap for braving his first dive with me”
Personality
Adventurousness88
Diving, jiu jitsu, cycling, constant travel and a self-described rotating 'new hobby that week' habit — novelty is a default setting, not an occasional treat.
Ambition82
Two decades of continuous creation, 1.6M+ Instagram followers, board membership and a named podcast — she builds things and keeps building them.
Social energy90
Public figure with a wide professional network, hosting energy, summit appearances, and a running habit of inviting others into her activities.
Playfulness95
'Entering my villain era', 'New Macs who dis?', Pokemon hunting on a work trip, a Pokemon jacket, 'My Hawaiian fits were working overtime' — the dial is set high and it's clearly intentional.
Intellectual curiosity85
Goes deep on technical detail (variable aperture, haptics, camera systems) and engages with harder questions like AI image manipulation rather than just hype.
Groundedness74
Steady long-term commitments and a named dog root her, but the schedule is event- and travel-driven and the 'new hobby that week' line suggests attention does move around.
How they live
Base
Los Angeles Metropolitan Area
Pace
Fast and event-driven — trips like Maui for #snapdragonsummit, keynotes, launches, with near-daily posting through it all.
Social
Wide, warm and professional — creator peers, event teams, founders, plus a community she hosts and invites into her hobbies.
Travel
Frequent — travel is a named pillar of her bio, with recent trips to Maui/Hawaii mixing work summits with diving and, apparently, Pokemon hunting.
Health
Active and skill-based: scuba diving, jiu jitsu and ocean-side cycling rather than gym routines.
Work / life
Deliberately blurred — her work is filming her life, so unboxings, dives and summit trips are simultaneously content and leisure.
Talks like
Emoji-forward, punchy and immediate — short bursts of genuine excitement ('iPhone Duo is AMAZING', '✨ViBeS✨') with playful competitive humour ('New Macs who dis?'). She's a clear, direct communicator when it matters, including plain calls to action ('Learn more and pre-order at specs.com'), and she documents things in real time rather than saving them up.
Shows care by
She brings you in. She invites people to try her hobbies, celebrates their firsts loudly, thanks people by name for effort she noticed, and publicly cheers her friends' milestones. Caring, for her, looks like enthusiasm aimed at you plus a standing invitation to come along.
Green flags
  • Two decades of showing up on the same platform — she follows through
  • Publicly credits and thanks people rather than taking good experiences for granted
  • Invites beginners into her hobbies instead of gatekeeping them
  • Playful and self-deprecating — comfortable being a bit ridiculous in public
  • Warm to animals; her dog is named in her bio as a core part of life
  • Engages critically with the industry she loves rather than blindly cheerleading
Friction
  • Work and life are the same thing — camera out, posted in real time, which some partners find hard to be around
  • High travel and events tempo; the calendar is likely shaped by launches and summits rather than by couple time
  • The 'new hobby that week' energy means her focus rotates fast — a partner may need to be relaxed about intensity moving around
  • Enthusiasm runs at 11, which can feel like a lot if you're a quiet, low-key person
  • A very public professional life with a large audience means privacy is limited
Dealbreakers
  • Someone who mocks or dampens her fandom, her humour or her enthusiasm
  • Someone who never wants to leave the house or join her outdoors
  • Someone dismissive or cynical about integrity in tech — she'd spot it immediately
  • Someone who can't cope with a partner who shares a lot of her life publicly
  • Someone who wants all of her attention permanently fixed in one place
Who fits them

Someone warm, playful and genuinely curious — happy to be hauled into a first dive or a jiu jitsu class, and equally happy to be the one who plans the quiet day after. They'd be secure enough to share the spotlight, quick with a joke, kind about effort, and at ease with a partner whose work and life blur and whose bags are often half-packed.

Dates they'd love
  • A shore-entry dive somewhere with easy logistics — her Maui dive worked precisely because it was a short walk from the shore at Black Rock, and she loves bringing a first-timer along.
  • A beginner-friendly jiu jitsu class followed by a long, unhurried dinner where she can debrief every detail.
  • A coastal bike ride with a Pokemon-hunting side quest built in — movement, scenery and a silly collectible goal in one outing.
  • A new-hardware launch day together: unbox something, then actually sit and compare what it feels like to use, since she genuinely relishes that sensory detail.
Ask them about
  • Ask about the rotating 'new hobby that week' — what's the current one, and is jiu jitsu still undefeated?
  • Ask who else she's converted for their first dive, and whether the 'tech creator dive club' has a waiting list.
  • Ask what actually changed in twenty years of filming — she started on YouTube in May 2006 and is still on it.
  • Ask about the haptics demo she edited with — she lit up at how a mouse and laptop felt, and that kind of craft nerdery is a great door in.
  • Ask what it's like to co-run a podcast (@samebrain) versus making video — different muscle, same voice.
  • Ask about the Hawaii-exclusive Pokemon hunt — and whether Rattata really counted.
How the agent talks on their behalf
Upbeat, quick and a little bit chaotic in the best way — short sentences, real enthusiasm, no corporate polish. I'd open with a specific hook rather than a compliment, use one well-placed emoji, and match her pace: propose something concrete and easy to say yes to, with the logistics already sorted (she rewarded an event team for 'going above and beyond'). Light teasing is welcome; earnest gushing is not. Never oversell her or pretend to be her — I'm the friend who does the homework and can tell you what she actually did last week.
