The Youtuber Phenomenom
What is youtube? It is a webpage owned by Google where people can upload and search for videos. It was created in 2005 by some employees of PayPal, but it was bought by Google Inc a year after, in October 2006.
At first this website hosted mainly videoclips and funny videos of little and cute cats playing the piano, but as it become more and more popular, new and different videos could be found there.
Nowadays it is full of vlogs(video blogs), gameplays (videos of people showing how they play some games or how to finish them, also sometimes they only play them to make people lough), films (copyright?), series, tutorials, etc. It is so popular that uploading videos on this page has become a job, commonly known as being a Youtuber.
When a person gets a very high numbers of views or subscribers on their chanels, Youtube offers them to enter their Partner Progamme, which means they are going to get some profit from uploading their videos.
I like calling this The Youtuber Phenomenom, because many people (mostly teenagers) spend hours and hours watching these youtubers, and not only on youtube, they also follow them on other social networks such as twitter or facebook and even buy their merchandaising.
The most famous Youtuber in the world now is Pewdiepie, a swedish videogame commentor aged 25. He created his youtube channel in 2010, becoming the most suscribed user in 2013. In the present he has riched the number of 32.272.551 "bros". He earns more than 4 million dollars a year, but he donates a huge amount of his beneficts to charity, begining the "Water Compaign" in order to give water to Africa.
