Nuseir Yassin (Template:Lang-ar, Template:Lang-he; born 9 February 1992) is a video blogger who created 1000 daily 1-minute videos on Facebook under the page, Nas Daily. He currently operates the Nas Daily Corporation, a video production company that uploads weekly videos.
Early life and career
Yassin was born in Arraba, Israel, to a Muslim-Arab family of Palestinian descent. He describes himself as Palestinian-Israeli. He is the second of four children; his mother is a teacher and his father is a psychologist. His native language is Arabic; he also speaks English and non-fluent Hebrew.
Yassin applied to Harvard at the age of 19, seeking a degree in aerospace engineering, and received a scholarship. His application essay detailed his struggle to achieve his dreams being an Arab born in Israel. He graduated with a degree in economics in 2014 and also studied computer science. While earning his degree, Yassin co-founded a pay-it-forward registration service, and a social media search engine.
In September 2014, he started working as a software developer for Venmo, a mobile payment service owned by PayPal.
Nas Daily
In 2016, Yassin quit his job at Venmo and decided to explore the world, with the intention of video-documenting his travels. This resulted in the creation of a Facebook page named Nas Daily ("Nas" means "people" in Arabic), where he would create a video every day for 1,000 days. After meeting Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in early 2018, Nas Daily was upgraded to "show" status, and, by September 2018, his page had amassed over 8 million followers. By November of the same year, this number had risen to over 10 million.
All the videos are one-minute long, and they are posted to Facebook but not YouTube; Yassin believes this to be more lucrative as well as making the experience more personal for his viewers. The videos are shot using an SLR camera with an attached microphone, and are then edited before being released the next day. On average, each video takes around six hours to shoot and three hours to edit. The topics for the videos are based on suggestions provided by his Facebook followers. Each video ends with the tagline: "That’s one minute, see you tomorrow!"
Yassin's collaborators include girlfriend Alyne Tamir, an American-Israeli video-maker, and Agon Hare, a video blogger and musician from Poland.
Due to the popularity of the videos with non-English speaking audiences, subtitles are provided in various languages, such as Hindi and Chinese.
After Nas Daily
Yassin finished the 1000 daily video journey on January 5, 2019, ending the last video with the tagline: "That’s one minute, see you soon". On February 1, 2019, he started making one video per week, for a planned 100 weeks.
Yassin currently lives in Singapore and has a video making company. His memoir, Around the World in 60 Seconds: The Nas Daily Journey, was released on November 5, 2019.
