YouTube was created back in 2005, it was originally set up be 3 pay pal employees but in the back end of 2006 it was taken over by Google. YouTube is used all over the world and for many reasons. Some use it for educational reasons, some to connect with people, some to promote music and art and some to have fun and make people laugh.
I first came across YouTube back in 2006 and first started watching episodes of my favourite Disney channel Television shows and watch the latest music videos. Fast forwarding to 2007 and i started subscribing to YouTube accounts. 2010 i used it for educational purposes and started watching documentaries to help me with my A-level sociology. 2011/2012 i started subscribing to more YouTubers and my list is ever growing.
One thing that i admire about YouTubers and the YouTuber community is the unity that they show. YouTubers from all over the world become united on one site and become some of the closest people. One thing i have noticed over the years is how some viewers of the YouTubers have said how they idealise them and how much they have helped them in times where they have been at their lowest point.
This is one of the major factors i admire about all the YouTubers, probably with out knowing it themselves they manage to pin point a certain factor in a young adults life where they may be struggling and they say something that will help the viewer alter their opinions on themselves and other people. Different YouTubers manage to do this in different ways, some do it through just sitting and talking to a camera, so through song, some through comedy but they all have the same one quality; and that is that when you've had a bad day or a bad year or even a good day they are always there for any individual and they are always positive.
However when i sometimes watch these videos i feel for the YouTubers. One main reason is espically when they go to events or meet and greets a lot of them talk about how the viewers can be intense, or how there are so many of them that they feel they don't get enough time with every individual person.
A lot of people on the internet like to club together what i have observed and call it 'YouTube culture'. Personally i don't like to call it 'YouTube culture' as it is applying that it is totally different from what people did before YouTube. I like to think of it more as a shift in society. This is because society is changing, we are now in a digital age which means more children and young adults are spending time on the internet therefore are going to focus their aspirations towards those people on the internet that are always there for them.
After that deep few paragraphs i would like to point you in the direction of some YouTubers that i enjoy watching and that have helped me in low points. The first one is Carrie Hope Flecter (itswaypastmybedtime), Carrie is the first You Tuber i subscribed to after watching her first Dear Tom video and then watching all of the songs she has covered. To this day she remains one of my favourite YouTubers. The next one is PetesJams the reason for subscribing to his channel in all honesty is that he loves Disney just like Carrie and his covers again are amazing. My third subscription was Patty Walters and the reason behind this is that his covers of some of my favourite songs were amazing and i admire that he is straight edge. Another person i would like to point you in the direction of is Emma Blackery, the reason i enjoy her videos is that she reminds me so much of myself. Another one of my subscriptions is SprinkleofGlitter, i love her videos as she always so cheery and often included baby glitter who is ever so cute. The final person and my most recent subscription is thisbedottie. I subscribed to her because her recent video was so deep and amazing just like the rest of her videos. So if your reading this and thinking hhmm i want to join this YouTube i would recommend all of the people i have just mentioned above.
So this brings me to the end of my very lengthy and deep post about one of my favourite things on the internet. I hope you have enjoyed this post and my thoughts about the things i have talked about. This post was inspired by all of the people i have mentioned in this post and other You tubers. Thank you for reading and feel free to leave a comment. until next time .... Goodbye!
