Yes Theory is a Canadian digital media brand built around a YouTube channel founded by Thomas Brag, Ammar Kandil, Matt Dahlia (formerly Matt Dajer), and Derin Emre. Originally founded as Generation Y Not, Yes Theory first gained national media attention in November 2015 with their message of inclusivity in the wake of terror attacks in Beirut and Paris.[2] They have been featured in a range of national and international media.[2][3][4][5][6]

Their content has been praised as experiencing foreign cultures in "a fresh and authentic way"[7] and "consistently radiating positivity and promote living life with an open mind, exactly what YouTube and the world needs."[8] The Yes Theory brand revolves around the group's mantra of "Seek Discomfort", a phrase also featured in the group's clothing brand, and through their second channel with 816,000 subscribers.
