From Webby Awards Praise to Daily Life: Discovering the Ingenious Process of Matty Benedetto

As I was attending the Webby Awards in 2023, I received a compliment on my content from a well-dressed man in a paisley suit. It turned out to be Matty Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions, known for his quirky gadgets that have garnered millions of followers on social media. It was an honor to receive praise from someone with such a significant online presence.

A year later, I found myself in Burlington, Vermont, Matty’s hometown and workplace, eager to learn about his creative process. Stepping into his studio, I was surrounded by an array of unique items, from 3D printers to Supreme collector items, showcasing Matty’s eclectic taste.

Matty’s inventions are humorous solutions to everyday problems, such as glasses that wipe away tears or a funnel that organizes burrito ingredients into a taco. These inventive creations have captivated audiences for years and have allowed Matty to turn his passion into a successful business as a content creator. In my new video series profiling internet creators, I spent a day shadowing Matty to uncover the secrets behind his inventions and how he sustains his career through his videos.

As someone who has always been curious about how individuals can transform their passions into sustainable careers through creating entertaining content on YouTube, I’m excited to share this experience with my audience.
